Phnom Penh Trip Overview
Diverse and often leaving a permanent mark in your memory when seeing the capital’s extremes, Phnom Penh is a journey through a commercial-driven beehive of local entrepreneurs and walking through the dark pages of its past. Tattooed forever in the skin of Cambodia, the marks left by the Khmer Rouge regime are a must-see and no other place that the notorious Tuol Sleng Museum is where the atrocities of Pol Pot’s regime are almost tangible. The Russian Market stands out from the more modernized landscape yet what’s driving in its interior is something that tantalises your drive for some local shopping.
