The Kampot Market In Photos

Some sights of the Kampot market on the way from Phnom Penh to the south of Cambodia. Here we enjoyed some sugar cane juice and became real spice traders by picking up some black pepper to take home.

 

 

 

 

Sights Around What Phnom

Some of the sights around What Phnom in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. This pagoda is built on a man made hill, the only hill in the city. The area is crawling with beggars, but also with monkeys and an elephant tourists can take a ride on for a few dollars. What Phnom also seems to be an area local people come to relax.

 

 

 

 

Monsoon in Phnom Penh

Only on our first afternoon in Cambodia did we notice it is rainy season. The down pour was so large that many streets turned into rivers with cars and mopeds plowing through it.

 

 

 

Killing Fields - Cambodia

Images of the Killing Fields just outside of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. This is a surreal place to visit and tough to deal with emotionally. These pictures are pretty graphic and go with the blog post earlier from Cambodia.

 

 

 

 

Tuol Sleng Museum - Pol Pot's Secret Prison

Following up to the last post, here are some pictures of Tuol Sleng, the high school turned secret prison in Phnom Penh during the Khmer Rouge regime in the late 1970s.

A cell in the VIP (very important prisoner) segment where torture happened daily.

The Khmer Rouge documented carefully who entered the prison. Practically everyone was eventually killed.

Cells for female prisoners on the second floor. Male prisoners were on the ground floor in cells without doors, but they were shackled to the floor.

A view from one of the school buildings/prison buildings to another.
