These display cases of skeletal remains are at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh. Just one of the many horrific legacies of the Khmer Rouge.

This Wat is located between the Russian Market (Toul Tom Poung Market) and the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in south Phnom Penh. The three sites can easily be visited together. I recommend the Genocide Museum last as it can drain one’s enthusiasm.

PhnomPenh (12) “No Money, No Honey” are words ubiquitous in the Cambodian capital. I’m not sure why this phrase, which likely has origins in illicit trades, has  such resonance with tuk-tuk drivers. You’d think if anybody were using this motto it would be the beekeepers.
