    The Killing cave take just 5-10min to walk around quietly and take picture. It's not huge. It's possible to go up to the killing cave and pagoda for free and with motorbike, if you don't want to walk. And it's possible to park your motorbike nearly everywhere for free, otherwise a parking is available (1000Riels) downstair.

    It's absolutely horrible the things that happened here. But it is a beautiful place.

    A chilling and surreal place, with a small museum of human remains. The sculptures at the top are worth a visit, as is the temple - take some snacks for the monkeys! Amazing views from the top also.

    Mindful place. It is a small cave, with a lying buddha and the shrine with skulls. The shrine is not always opened. If you are lucky, the shrine is opened and lightened.
    The cave has on its ceiling the opening hole where all the people were thrown into the cave itself by the red khmer.
    Depending on the sun, the cave is enlightened by light rays which is a beautiful photo motif.
    You should come here around 2pm to not have too much tourists visiting the cave and destryoing the silence.
    Also impressive in terms of recapturing the past decades and the horror introduced by the red khmer are the art sculptures in the front of the cave entrance showing the cruelty of interrogations and torture of people before thrown into the cave.

    Have to climb up the hill. Need to ask your way around, no sign boards or directions. This is a natural cave, you have to climb down through a small opening in the ground. In a dimly lighted interior, there is a glass box containing skulls and bones of Khmer rouge victims. A nearby tableau depicts the horrors of the times.

    Wasn't a huge amount to see. There were obviously some horrific acts that unfortunately occurred here but the are lacks any descriptions. The Killing Fields in Phnom Penh and Genocide Museum are essential however if you want to understand more about the relevant history.

    It's definitely worth a visited and to dwell on what happened in the past.

    No clear direction, just keep climbing. Eventually you'll see a big hole in the ground.

    This place has a Truly terrible past, but they should put up signs or informed guides and not just drop you of with a short description of what happened here
    2$ entrance fee
