O
Rýchle fakty: Over 8,000 victims of the Khmer Rouge regime were buried in mass graves at this site. Visitors can still see the skulls and bones displayed in a glass pavilion as a stark reminder of the past.
Zaujímavosti: A haunting 17-meter tall Buddhist stupa filled with over 5,000 human skulls is the centerpiece, including many with visible execution tool marks. Walking around the peaceful grounds, you can see remnants of everyday objects unearthed from mass graves, connecting you viscerally to the history.
Insiderské tipy
- Wear modest clothing covering shoulders and knees out of respect.
- Bring bottled water and stay hydrated as there is little shade.
- Photography is allowed but keep it discreet and respectful, especially inside the stupa pavilion.
- Avoid midday visits when the sun is harsh and the site gets busiest.
