Overview
Chamkamorn District takes us to the Russian Market and Olympic Stadium, and is home to a number of fine temples. However it is best known for the Genocide or Tuol Seng Museum.
This former high school built by the French had been from 1975 to 1979 the prison that was the most terrifying of the Khmer Rouge period. Called “S-21” by the Khmer Rouge, it was a torture center, where 15,000 people were tortured then sent to the extermination camp, Choeung Ek, to be killed. The prison guards were between 10 and 15 years old. They were indoctrinated by the seniors of Angkar, and became crueler than the adults.
We recommend this tour for people 16 years and over, due to the confronting nature of the Genocide Museum. Adults should use their discretion on the ability of their children to deal with this experience.

The Olympic StadiumYour day starts with a short visit to the Olympic Stadium which, while never hosting an Olympic games, is an iconic structure capable of seating 70,000 people.
-
Russian MarketContinuing on, we visit the Russian Markets, which were named after the 1980s period, when people from Russia were the predominant tourists. This bustling local market is a treasure trove of clothes, art, handicraft, food, and almost anything else you can think of. We move on from here, taking with us a local snack for morning tea, through the bustling streets of downtown Phnom Penh.
-
Tuol Sleng Genocide MuseumIt is a somber thought that these bustling streets you are seeing now lead you, like war victims, to the Genocide Museum. Alternatively known as Tuol Sleng Museum, this former school was transformed into a prison and an interrogation center. It now chronicles this dark chapter of Cambodian history, and is a must-see for those wanting an understanding of this period and what the people suffered through.
