Today we visited the Killing Fields - Chueng Ek - and Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum the former S21 office during the time of the Khmer Rouge (it had previously to that been a school). We had a tuk tuk with 2 people from Dundee from our guesthouse, who were very nice, Our first stop was the killing fields, 15km out of the city. This is where the Khmer Rouge started executing people once S21 got too full. There is a huge memorial, full of skulls of the victims in the ...

Stupid Thais tried to scam us into paying 1300baht for our Cambodian visas, and told us our bus wouldn't wait, but we wanted to get the $20 version from the Cambodian side, and that was what most of the others were doing too.
