Holyweek Adventure - Choeung Ek Genocide Museem




After visiting the Tuol Sleng Museum, we went straight to the Choeung Ek Museum popularly known as the Killing Fields. This area was where the Khmer killed their enemies. This is a mass graveyard of some 9K plus of Cambodians. Right now, it is a buddhist memorial to the terror brought by the Khmer soldiers and Pol Pot. You can find here a stupa that contains human skulls and numerous grave pits.
