Cambodia’s Harrowing History, The Killing Fields Museum Tour

Cambodia has a very dark history and it’s something that’s vital to understand if you want to visit. I really recommend the killing field tour, it’s very traumatic but I think it’s an essential Undertaking when trying to understand Cambodia My tour was around £15 and was a fully guided English tour, you first go to the killing fields outside Phnom Penh then travel to the Tuol Sleng genocide museum. Almost 3 million people were killed under the Khmer Rouge Regime between 1975 - 1979 and these museums are a fitting tribute to their memory. The museums are very well laid out and are informative and very objective. 🕰️Business Hours: Tours usually run from 8AM TO 4PM and last a few hours each. I’d advise an early one to avoid crowds and the heat! #museums #100waysoftravel #cambodia #phnompenh #history
