What is the highest altitude town or village with accommodation in Cambodia?
After boiling and baking myself for a month and a half all around Cambodia, I'm wondering about places I could go up in the mountains in the country.
Specifically I'm wondering what the highest settled place in Cambodia is.
I know there are some places that still have danger from land mines, and there are probably some places that don't have any accommodation options.
I don't care where in the country it is. I have camping gear but would at least need somewhere to buy food and water.

There is a very good article in the PPP about Kirirom Mountain; "Magic lives on at old royal retreat". Probably one of the few places in the kingdom to find pine forests.
"On top of Kirirom Mountain are the 1960s-era ruins of a once grand getaway for the royalty and urban elite of pre-war Cambodia. Now, four decades after it was abandoned, life is returning to the settlement"
