- 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.

Join a confronting yet essential tour in Phnom Penh to The Killing Fields of Choeung Ek and Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. This tour will help you reflect on the devastating impact of the Khmer Rouge regime on modern Cambodia. We come face to face with the horrific crimes of the Khmer Rouge. Tuol Sleng was a former high school that the Khmer Rouge turned into a centre for interrogation, torture and death. 17,000 people passed through the gates of this prison and only seven lived to tell the tale. We then travel out of town to the Killing Fields of ChoengEk. Prisoners from Tuol Sleng followed this same route to their fate. An old Chinese cemetery, ChoengEk was turned into an extermination camp for political prisoners. The remains of 8985 people were exhumed from mass graves and are kept in a memorial stupa here. Despite the horrors of the past, it is a peaceful place to go and a tranquil spot to reflect on the tragic events that engulfed Cambodia and its people.
