The Killing Fields of Cambodia

[Ice Maiden]

I have decided to share my photos of the infamous Killing Fields in Phnom Penh with you. Originally I wasn't going to share as this place isn't exactly the nicest area in the world but again like the Tuol Sleng Museum it is a place of history and great importance and it really has amazed me how the people of Cambodia have worked together in a huge effort after the damage was done to their homeland.

I'm not sure how much the ticket prices were but they are very cheap and Cambodian tour guides are avaliable for this visit for a reasonable price, we chose to get one this time as you can learn more about the place from a local. Our tour guide had family members unfortunatley lost in during the time of Pol Pot and spoke at ease with us about this.

Firstly he sat us all down and gave us a brief talk about what we were going to experience then he took us to the Buddist temple which held the many human skulls and clothes of the people that lost their lives.



He explained to us that many of the skulls and clothes were found washed up in the river.
