Highlights
- Live Streamed tour from the Wat Thmey Temple, where the skulls of those who died during the Khmer regime have been kept
- Learn about the brutality of the Khmer Rouge from a survivor of the regime
Visit the grounds of the Wat Thmey killing fields, converted into the site of Temple with your guide Sopanha on an online tour. Here, you will see a large stupa memorial with glass sides, filled with the skulls and bones of those who died during the Khmer Rouge. These have been diligently gathered by local residents in memory of their families and friends. Today, Wat Thmey serves as a Buddhist monastery and also as a memorial site that is visited by tourists. More than just a holocaust spot, many come to the Wat Thmey Temple to pay homage, and to remember those who lost their lives in the Cambodia Killing Fields. While walking around this site, I will show you the Museum, exhibits, the infamous well, and also tell you how my family was personally affected by the excesses of the Khmer regime.
