This is not an easy place to visit and if you are squeamish you should perhaps give it a miss. However it is an integral part of the recent history of Cambodia and together with Choeung Ek should certainly be on the itinerary of anyone who wishes to learn about the horror the country went through 45 years ago. Coming here is a powerful and unforgettable experience and your mind will be numbed by the sheer brutality and inhumanity of what went on as well as the enormous scale of the barbarity. The audio commentary is highly recommended and achieves a fine balance between informativeness and sensitivity. It can also serve as a warning about the dangerous consequences of more powerful nations disrupting the indigenous political processes of smaller countries, which we see continuing elsewhere in the world to this day. #givethanks #givethanks
