FWM2+PFX, street Boeng Cheung ek, Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Visiting the Choeung Ek Genocidal Center was a deeply emotional and reflective experience. The site is a stark reminder of Cambodia’s tragic history, and it’s important for understanding the country’s past. One of the best aspects of the visit was the audio guide provided with headphones, which allowed for a personal, quiet exploration of the grounds. The audio guide was incredibly informative and respectful, offering insights into the history and significance of each location within the center. The atmosphere is somber but serene, and it truly encourages you to pause and reflect. A must-visit for those wanting to learn about Cambodia’s history
It is really shocking to see this place but I am glad I was able to learn about the horrible history behind it. The audio guide is mandatory, without any guidance the place is just a bunch of random trees. You need someone to explain to you what happened. The audio tour is really good, it takes around 1 hour and it costs 6 USD for foreigners. Highly recommended during your visit to Phnom Penh.
It is truly terrifying stories while I was visiting for three hours. When I listened with the audio aid device for the cases storytelling my heart is pounding, my eyes are weeping, my emotions are tingling, then I feel sobbing and pause of my listening. Praying for the people who suffered from the loss, pain and trauma. I pay respect and pray for them. The center is very well equipped, managed and informative and convenient. Ticket prices is fairly enough.
Impressive place to visit. When you doubt of going here after visiting Tuol Sleng (S21) Genocide Museum (like I did) still go here; it's add real to understanding what happened.
You have to visit to understand the past and what happened here. The audio tour is really good. However, it is disturbing at times. The tree featured towards the end of the tour holds disturbing facts and atrocities about the past. It can be difficult for some to hear the information about what happened to the babies and children be warned.
