    Wat Thmey (Killing Fields)

    Wat Thmei is a small but important memorial site in Siem Reap, built to honor the victims of Cambodia’s tragic past under the Khmer Rouge regime. Located within the grounds of a functioning Buddhist pagoda, it contains a glass stupa filled with the skulls and bones of those who lost their lives. Visitors can see displays that explain Cambodia’s dark history, while also experiencing the peaceful atmosphere of the temple grounds where monks continue their daily life. Unlike the larger Killing Fields near Phnom Penh, Wat Thmei is a more intimate place of remembrance, offering both reflection and cultural insight
