It's quite easy to be swept away on a tide of temples whilst in Cambodia, so this works well as a reminder of the countries far more recent history. There's little to see, a shrine with skulls of victims of the Khmer Rouge, a few boards with photos from the time of pol pot, a beautiful pagoda, and a building... More

nothing but a bare small tower ( box) with some skulls and bones, not too many detailed informations were also given on the board next to the tower (box)

Halfway out of town on the way to Angkor Wat you will find Wat Thmei.  This was once one of Cambodia’s horrible killing fields where many innocent men women and children were tortured and killed.  There is a large stupa filled with bones and skulls that were collected by locals in memory of their family and friends.

This is not a polished tourist stop. This is grassroots Cambodia in recovery. The wat has a small memorial of bones from the killing field history of the wat and a few dozen weathered photos of that era.

The three buildings are empty except for a small statue in each. There is one... More

In this temple you can witness the bones collected from the killing during Pol Pot regime. The place is a bit disturbing!

Wat Thmey might not be overly impressive to look at, but it is still worth spending 20 minutes or so here at this site, and to pay your respects to those brutally murdered here. There is a memorial stupa filled with skulls and clothing of those who passed, and it is powerful to stand there in silence and take a... More
