Visiting the Killing Fields of Cambodia?

mass grave Killing fields of Cambodia Torture Phnom Penh

When you`re visiting Phnom Penh, Killing Fields is a must. To catch the dark history of Cambodia in the right chronological order -- a tip is to start your trip at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, then continue to the Fields.

The Khmer Rouge interrogated the victims at Tuol Sleng, then they brought the inmates to execution on the Fields.

Admission: USD 3 dollars

Distance: 15 km southwest from central Phnom Penh

Phone: (855) 23 880 278, (855) 12 576 872.

When you enter the premises, you`ll see a tall stupa filled with skulls of the victims. The distinguished stupa is filled with 8000 human skulls, sorted after sex and age. And it will stun you into silence. 20.000 people, included foreigners, were executed here.

And when you walk around the area, you`ll pass mass graves.

Here they tortured the victims before they threw them in.

For the executions, they banged children against trees and used axes and knives to kill the other Cambodians. Pol Pot didn`t want to shoot them because he wanted to save the expensive bullets...!!

Another way of killing them was to cut their throat open with sharp leaves -- the murder trees are still standing there. It sounds brutal because it was brutal.
