This morning visit Royal Palace, a royal residence where His Majesty live, and the National Museum, also named Musee des Beaux-Arts, in Khmer style, which was designed by Georges Groslier, a French archaeologist and painter, in 1917. The museum houses a great collection of Khmer art - notably sculptures - throughout the ages. Then visit the Toul Sleng Prison Museum and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek-both grim reminders of Cambodia's bloody past under Pol Pot. It is almost unimaginable to confront the nature of true evil here in this tender loving land, but the Buddhist memorial at Choeung Ek, commemorates the 1.7 million victims of the 1975-79 Pol Pot regime. This excursion may cause discomfort and sorrow for some visitors. It is, however, an important part of Cambodia’s historical and cultural puzzle. Visit Russian Market (Toul Tumpong Market), popular among the locals for cheap clothing, a large selection of Buddha images and wood carvings, betel-nut boxes, silk, silver jewelry, classic music instrument and other local specialties. Overnight in Phnom Penh.
