Both blissful as revealing, this half day outing brings forward key elements of how varied, enthralling and culturally diverse Siem Reap actually is. Moving away from the Angkor magnitude that has put Cambodia on the tourism map since its earliest discoveries, this bustling town has more up its sleeve for a break away from UNESCO-protected temples, jungle-clad ruins, and historical anecdotes of what once was the centre of the world. Through Buddhism, its almost unavoidable connection with past battles, and its current drive to give the less-fortunate to shine like never before, three totally different landmarks of Siem Reap are taking centre stage, yet are unmissable when getting a total picture of Cambodia’s main tourism destination.

What To Expect

Wat Thmey (Killing Fields)

We start our half day with a visit to Wat Thmey. This small pagoda has been thriving with life as many young monks see this as one of the most important places in Siem Reap to brush up on their English skills. The pagoda is well-known as a reminder of the cruel acts from the Khmer Rouge – a dedicated Killing Field memorial stupa has been erected on the temple grounds as a reminder of the harshness in the past. The stupa contains bones and skulls who have succumbed under the practices by the Khmer Rouge in the 20th century.

    I would rate this 5 out of 5. The guide spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. The driver was safe and drove very well. We learnt so much on this tour. A great morning out.

    A side to history not well known, this gave us an insight into the history of Cambodia that is well not as well known as some of the other parts of Cambodia. Some parts were deeply emotional and brutally honest.

  • Thought provoking and informative tour

    War museum very badly maintained, was more of a junk yard. The Artisians Angkor was useless. The killi g fields was just average.

    What a fascinating museum of the history and culture of Cambodia. We are so glad we did not miss this as this country is so amazing. We met the sweetest people and many we did meet shared their extraordinarily difficult lives during the atrocities of the civil war and genocide. It’s hard to imagine this happened during our lifetime. When the Power of Love overcomes the Love of Power….I pray one day that any and all who want to lead people abides by this

  • Excellent Information and explication of a true tragedy

    I have always wanted to know more about the killing fields in Cambodia. I enjoy learning about history and what better way than to learn about it from a qualified tour guide born and raised here.

    We started our tour at the war museum. It was really good and informative. You learn a lot about the Khmer Rouge and what they did. It is a horrible story, but very interesting if you like history. The tanks, weapons, grenades and the helicopter was really cool to see in person. The killing fields was disappointing. The only thing to see are the monument with skulls, which is pretty dark and really reminds you how bad this war was to the Cambodian people. The Artisans Angkor was so cool. You really get to see how they make sculptures with stone, tree and other materials. Really worth a visit! Overall, I would recommend this trip to everyone who visit Siem Reap.
