Why must go S-21...

Our first destination to Cambodia is Phnom Penh...
Which is the capital for Cambodia...
Compare to amazing Angkor Wat in Seam Reap...
I shall say Phnom Penh is much more quiet city compare to Seam Reap...
The tourist here also lesser compare to Seam Reap...
However, Phnom Penh is the best place to see the history of Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge period...
The hard time that the Cambodian ppl gone thru under the rule of Pol Pot...
The starvation and the forced labour...
They only given with porridge where it's just a water with only a few grains inside...
And they are forced to work for long hours...

This is the place that you must go...
"Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum" or S-21

It's actually a high school which turn into Prison Camp...


Here is the grave where they recovered 14 victims's body...




The room where the victims was locked and being tortured....




Another building where more victims were locked inside...




The rooms inside are smaller....


This building more scary as i still can see blood on the floor...


And the container they used to put their food...

Outside the building, there is a bars which were use to hang and torture the victims.



This is really a good place for those who would like to understand the history of Cambodia under Khmer Rouge...


It's cost USD 2 dollar per person for the entrance fee...
