- Anlong Veng - A noteworthy destination for those with additional time in Siem Reap and a desire to delve into Cambodia’s recent tumultuous past. Situated 125km to the north of Siem Reap, Anlong Veng is nestled in the Dangrek Mountains region, which serves as the frontier between Cambodia and Thailand. It garners attention for two primary reasons: it was the final bastion of the Khmer Rouge and the burial site of Pol Pot. Little is left of Pol Pot’s bunker, except for a dilapidated structure shrouded in greenery and marred by offensive graffiti. The province is still riddled with minefields, although these are located at a safe distance from the urban center, and demining specialists are actively working on their removal. Your guide will offer deeper insights into the recent history and may even recount personal family experiences from those challenging times.
