Warning: This tour is not for the faint hearted. We started out the tour with a group of three-Ate Venus, Pramil and I but lost each other through the maze. So I just ran from one empty room to another because I was scaring myself and imagining dead people.
Wear sturdy shoes and bring water.
My biggest regret is not hiring a tour guide to walk us through. Sometimes I'd pass a tour guide and eavesdrop. They have sad stories to tell and I wish I could have heard them all.
Fees:
Admission: 2 USD
Tour Guide: 6 USD
ENTRANCE:
BUILDING A:
 |
| A couple of rooms of just this and this and this plus some photos on the walls and some stuff to read. |
 |
| Children pretending to be a nurse during a visit of foreign dignitaries to Cambodia. |
 |
| Just a few of the thousands who suffered and died in this prison. No smiles for me on this trip. |

 |
Women plowing the field and pulling an ox cart.    
BUILDING C:
Tiny prison cells.
Therre were made of either wood or bricks.     
BUILDING D:
Of everything related to torture and human suffering. Psychologically disturbing
|
 |
| Instrument of Torture: Used to drill the cranium. |
 |
| Clothes of the victims. |
THE COURTYARD:
 |
| The gallows. Prisoners are hung upside down and their head gets dunked into these large urns filled with urine (if I still remember right). |
 |
| The graveyard. |
 |
| Tour guides telling stories under the ylang-ylang trees. |
 |
| The graveyard of those bodies found. |
 |
| There were two survivors selling a book chronicling their stories. |
And sprinklers for the hot weather!
