Tip No. 7 Go to the river front and get on the gym equipment with local Cambodian children...Rachel Irvin loved it One of the main attractions of Phnom Penh are The Killing Fields, located about 45 minutes away in a Tuk Tuk...we spent a few hours here learning about the Khmer Rouge.It was very sad to see how the Cambodians were treated under this regime and at The Killing Fields you see the mass graves, the ways in which people were kept and killed and you hear s...
