Full description

This is a 4-hour experience from Phnom Penh, built around Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and Choeung Ek. It is run by Welcome Pickups, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Tuol Sleng was a Phnom Penh secondary school that the Khmer Rouge turned into Security Prison 21 in 1975. Of the roughly 12,000 to 20,000 people held there, a dozen or so survived. The classrooms still have the iron bed frames and the photographs the regime took of every prisoner on arrival. Choeung Ek, about 15 kilometres out, is where most were taken to be killed, and its stupa holds some 5,000 skulls; the audio guide there is narrated in part by a survivor and is the reason most visitors manage it at all. Both are done quietly, take about half a day together, and are not suitable for young children.

The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off, Admission to Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum S21, Admission to the Killing Fields of Cheung Ek and tour guide. It does not cover Meals and drinks, Personal expenses and Tips, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.
