These were the execution grounds for the Khmer Rouge.

If you’re new to Cambodian culture and history, a visit to the Cheoung Ek Genocidal Center AMS Killing fields is well worth a visit to for the educational aspect on the harrowing history of the Khmer Rouge. Only 30 minutes or so outside of the city center (easy to reach via tuk-tuk) and 1-2 hours is sufficient time to experience. Warning for families, may not be suitable for young children due to the nature of the experience (I.e the memorial Stupa at the beginning/end of the tour houses skulls and bones from the victims from the era) although again worth taking the family if history has anything to teach us for a better future!

I saw a free local exhibit highlighting the unsung heroes in Cambodia’s trash/recycling stream - the Edjais. Afterward I went upstairs and watched a few archival videos on Pol Pot which were fascinating.

Situated in leafy Tonle Bassac, the once sleepy residential lane has been developed into a wonderfully exciting drinking, dining and retail phenomenon attracting expats, local Khmer and tourists alike every day of the week. No trip to Phnom Penh is complete without at least one visit to the boutiques and one night enjoying the bars and restaurants of Bassac Lane. Seibur - aperitif room Cicada - classic cocktail bar The Library - daiquiri bar Meat & Drink - bar • grill • conservatory Trove - gifts & homewares Harry's - antique shop & martini bar Hangar 44 - custom motorbike showroom & bar Paperdoll - clothing & accessories Dollshouse - hair salon Masamune - eatery D.Wilkins - leather goods maker Enter Bassac Lane from street 308 which comes off Norodom Boulevard (Malis restaurant is on the corner). There is a paid parking site opposite Seibur where you can park your car, bicycle or motorbike, remember to get a ticket.

This area is small and is packed with bars and restaurants. The street should be pedestrianised as the mopeds fly through. A great selection of bars and restaurants

A hidden gem inside Phnom Penh! Not many tourists visit as not many people know about this. We grabbed a tuk tuk for a few hours and made our first stop at a bakery where we grabbed a croissant and coffee. We then made our second stop here and enjoyed breakfast sitting outside with an amazing view. Stunning gold detail in the stairwell on the front and on the sides. Beautiful stories painted on the ceiling and the walls inside! It reminded us of The Sistine chapel paintings. Not quite the same obviously it just reminded us. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. No tourists at all.
