• Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum - Our professional tour guide and driver will pick you up at your hotel lobby and take you to visit Tuol Sleng S21, the main political prison where suspected enemies of Angkar were sent. As Pol Pot and the top commanders’ paranoia grew, so did the number of Cambodians detained here. Inside, prisoners were either tortured to death or sent to nearby Choeung Ek for ‘re-education,’ which meant execution. An estimated 12,273 people were detained at S-21, with only seven known survivors.
• Choeung Ek Genocidal Center - Next, we travel out of town to the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek. Between 1975 and 1978, around 20,000 people held at S-21 were taken to the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek. Like the Nazis, the Khmer Rouge leaders meticulously kept records of their atrocities. Each prisoner who passed through S-21 was photographed, sometimes before and after torture. The museum displays room after room of haunting black-and-white photographs; almost all the men, women, and children pictured were later killed. You can tell which year a picture was taken by the style of number-board on the prisoner’s chest. Several foreigners from Australia, New Zealand, and the USA were also held at S-21 before being murdered. Return to your hotel and drop off.

Embark on a profound and necessary tour in Phnom Penh to visit The Killing Fields of Choeung Ek and the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. This tour offers an opportunity to contemplate the severe impact of the Khmer Rouge regime on contemporary Cambodia. Visitors will confront the horrific crimes committed by the Khmer Rouge. Tuol Sleng, once a high school, was transformed by the Khmer Rouge into a center for interrogation, torture, and execution. Approximately 17,000 individuals entered this prison, with only seven surviving to recount their experiences.

The journey continues to the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, located outside the city. Prisoners from Tuol Sleng were transported along this same path to meet their fate. Originally an old Chinese cemetery, Choeung Ek was converted into an extermination camp for political prisoners. The remains of 8,985 individuals were unearthed from mass graves and are preserved in a memorial stupa here. Despite the past horrors, it is a serene place to visit and a tranquil spot to reflect on the tragic events that affected Cambodia and its people.
