Snapshot Saturday: Behind Barbs

Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, Phnom Penh

Ol’ Chao Ponhea Yat High School turned prison (Security Prison 21) by the Khmer Rouge. These barbed wires, tiled floor, and shutters were silent witnesses to the imprisonment, torture, and death of thousands.

  1. I’ve wanted to visit Genocide Museum more than I’d want to step foot on Ankor Wat – okay, it’s a tie between those two. I can’t imagine the feeling knowing 2-4 million Cambodians died in a span of a few years under the Khmer Rouge regime.

  2. The Khmer Rouge (communist regime), led by Pol Pot, captured people suspected against them. Tortured them to tell the truth about their plans/actions of activism. A lot of innocent people were involved.

  3. Hi, thanks for the post. Me and my travel buddy will visit Siem Reap and Pnom Penh this March 21, I read an article about money currency that it’s better to bring more US dollars for payments since Cambodia use it for large purchases (e.g. hotel fees) than their own currency, which is use only for small fees (e.g. bottled water), is this true? Is it really better for us to bring more USD then change small fraction from our pocketmoney into Cambodian money? thanks in advance!!!
