Private Half Day To Killing Field & S21 Genocidal Museum in Phnom Penh
Overview
The Khmer Rouge turned Toul Sleng High School into a center for interrogation, torture and death. Thousands of photo of victims can be seen in each room. You will walk slowly and investigate the materials used for interrogation of prisoners. After that we travel about 15km toward southwest of Phnom Penh we will arrive at Choeung Ek. The memorial at Choeung Ek just outside Phnom Penh was an orchard! And a Chinese cemetery prior to 1975. During the Khmer Rouge regime, it became one of the killing fields the site of the brutal executions of more than 17, 000 individuals, most of whom first suffered through torture and deprivation in Toul Sleng Prison. Choeung Ek is now a group of mass graves and a memorial stupa containing thousands of skulls. Come back to hotel and drop off.

Toul Sleng and Killing Field are the one you should not miss when you are in Phnom Pen. These places are not prison and killing center for innocent people of Khmer. You will get a lot of history of Khmer Rough time that is said Khmer killed Khmer in 1975-79.

Going to visit Toul Sleng museum and killing field was a fruitful experience to learn about the brutality of Khmer Rough regime. So sad that Cambodia was turned into an absolute communism by killing their own honest people.
