Favorite thing: This former school was converted by the Khmer Rouge regime into a prison when they came to power in 1975. It was mainly used for purges within the Khmer Rouge. The Vietnamese Army 'liberated' it in 1979, finding 8 survivors... out of the more than 8000 prisoners registered.
Each prisoner was photographed, and Tuol Sleng now acts as a museum to the genocide. It is a sober and simple display of human horror. Not for the squeamish, but definitely worth seeing to understand Cambodia better.
Southern suburbs, as indicated in any guide book, by any hotel or moto-driver.

Try it, sure you gonna love it.

So do I......

Fondest memory: Scary!
