The Killing Fields


After a ride through the city, we visited The Killing Fields.
(An old extermination camp about 15 km outside of Phnom Penh)

There are more than 8000 skulls in the Memorial Stupa

Luckily the boys didn't really understand what we were seeing.

until we saw this -
Yes, a human jaw bone with teeth right in the middle of the path.


There were bone and bits of clothing everywhere that no one has properly buried.


This young guard worked at the camp and was actually on trial while we were there.


His picture was all over the newspaper


Typical dress of the Khmer Rouge
