  Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum

  We'll pick you up from the hotel then head to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21). This site holds significant historical importance as it was originally a well-regarded high school that was later transformed into a heavily guarded prison during the time of Pol Pot's regime. Today, it functions as a museum, serving as a poignant reminder of the somber and distressing days of the past.

  Choeung Ek Genocidal Center

  Then, we will proceed to the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek Genocide Center. This notorious location has a harrowing past. Once an idyllic orchard and a Chinese cemetery, it was tragically transformed by the Khmer Rouge, led by Pol Pot, into what became infamously known as the killing fields. Here, approximately 20,000 victims were executed, and an astounding 2.5 million individuals were mercilessly massacred and buried over a period of three years. The site stands as a stark testament to the atrocities committed during that dark chapter in history.
