Toul Sleng-Killing Field-Market-Wat Phnom

Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum - Once a high school, Tuol Sleng was transformed by the Khmer Rouge into a center for interrogation, torture, and death. Now a museum, it serves as a poignant reminder of Cambodia’s tragic past. Of the 17,000 who entered, only seven survived. Visiting is not for everyone, but it is crucial for understanding Cambodia’s history and its progress since.

Choeung Ek Genocidal Center - Journey to the Killing Fields of Choeng Ek, where prisoners from Tuol Sleng met their fate. Originally a Chinese cemetery, it became an extermination camp for political prisoners. The remains of 8,985 individuals were exhumed and are preserved in a memorial stupa. Despite its history, it is a peaceful place for reflection on Cambodia’s past.

Russian Market - Visit the Russian Market, a top shopping spot in Cambodia’s capital. Known as Psar Tuol Tom Pong, it gained its nickname in the 1980s when Russians were the primary tourists. This bustling market offers bargains on handicrafts, carvings, silk, textiles, clothing, footwear, and even motorcycle parts.

Wat Phnom - Wat Phnom is a city symbol, located on one of the few hills in this flat capital. The first pagoda was built in 1373 to house Buddha statues found in the Mekong by a woman named Penh, giving the city its name, Phnom Penh or Hill of Penh. Locals visit to pray for luck in love, life, work, and exams, making it a lively place.
