Cambodia History - Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum

Getting There - Grab/Local taxis Verdict - 5/5 Time Taken - 1 hour Enter the world of Cambodia’s dark history as you step into the old school compound situated in the middle of Phnom Penh. You will have an option of picking up a audio guided tour in various languages at US$10 or choose to walk through by yourself at US$5. I would recommend getting a guided audio tour to get more in depth information on the various activities that took place during this dark era. #cambodia #genocide #tuolsleng The compound consists of 3 main buildings with each being used for different activities during Pol Pot’s regime. As you walk through the buildings, you will learn how prisoners were captured, tortured before being massacred. You will also get to see the thousands of Cambodians that were killed. Disclaimer: It might get quite dark during the tour so be prepared.

Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum

The museum is the once prison that contained many people who were subsequently killed. Once a school, the museum offers a humbling account of the genocide. You can walk in the torture rooms and cells, and speak with some of the still living survivors of the tragic era. Highly recommend a tour guide to take you around this site and the Killing Fields to get the full picture. There are a couple of survivors that will share their story with you about how they survived. Buy their books or souvenirs to help support them.
