– The unpleasant part was the way we were absolutely rushed through a mechanical 7 minutes top visit (with absolutely no other visitor around), and given a presentation uttered robot like, emotionless. We weren’t authorised to take photos while the woman was talking, and ordered to do so after she would be done. I’m not sure we saw the whole house, as there are pics of an ancient bed in the previous reviews, that never appeared while visiting. I bought a small Khmer scarf in the shop section for my son, so maybe that’s why we weren’t asked the 2 dollars previous reviews mention as a “mandatory fee”.

Overall and even though the visit could be rushed, I would still recommend it for the sake of this well preserved traditional rich Khmer house. But how wonderful it would be to feel that the guide was actually pleased to share its History…

This “free” tour consisted of being insulted for 20 minutes, told I don’t know anything, my country taught us lies etc. mixed with some information about the house and family. The tour guide/owner of the house proceded to insult United States, Europe, Australia and and every Asian county except Mongolia. The entire experience was unpleasant and ended with you being pretty much told to buy something and as you go to leave he says wait you need to pay the mandatory donation admission fee and he gives you a donation slip to write down personal information about yourself. I paid the “mandatory” donation and when I wouldn’t put my personal info in his book he became quite agitated where I felt nervous. I would definitely not recommend going to this out of the way tourist trap. The pics you see on google are pretty much what’s there.

A place you should visit ! It’s not very long but here is an intense history. The old traditional wood house is nice to see inside and outside. 1or2$ the visit. We were alone.

The owners are really nice and they describe briefly about the history of the house really well. The entrance is free, but you can buy some souvenirs or donate to support them. I am really interesting in their old furnitures.

    Simple. Heart-rending. One of the many killing fields. Not on the scale Of Phnom Penh but a sharp reminder that murder on amass scale happened throughout Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge.

    Impressive how the concrete sculptures tell the devastating period of the Khmer rouge. A place to be silent and contemplate what humanity can be like, but also to choose hope for a better future and humane humanity.

    Impressive memorial to the victims of the Khmer Rouge. Be sure to walk completely around the Monument, reading all of the graphic, but very sad, descriptions of that time period. There is a lot of English language used, making for easy understanding for many travelers. We were there Sept. 2017.
