Visiting Choeung Ek, one of the infamous Killing Fields near Phnom Penh, is a deeply moving experience. The Memorial Stupa stands as a solemn tribute to the thousands of lives lost during Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge era. Inside the stupa, glass panels display human skulls, a chilling reminder of history, while the surrounding grounds are peaceful, with shaded pathways and memorial trees.

Walking through the site, I was struck by the resilience of Cambodia’s people and the importance of remembering the past. Guides provide sensitive and informative context, helping visitors understand the historical significance without diminishing the dignity of the victims.

Choeung Ek is not just a tourist destination—it’s a place for reflection, learning, and honoring those who suffered. Visiting it left me with a profound respect for Cambodia’s journey toward healing and remembrance.
