The Palace is actually a number of structures within a pagoda style compound. An awe-inspiring sight, the throne room, or the main building has a tiered roof topped by a 59m tower. Silver Pagoda; it is the royal chapel, located within the Royal Palace grounds but walled off in a separate enclosure. The silver Pagoda takes its name from the estimated 5,000 silver tiles covering the floor of the main temple. Each tile is made from a kilogram of silver. Although plundered by the Khmer Rouge, the Silver Pagoda contains some superb Buddha statuary; a few artifacts from the royal collection are displayed in glass cases. A National Museum; it was designed by French archaeologist and painter George Grislier, and constructed in traditional style by Cambodia craftsmen in 1917. The museum first opened in 1920. It’s small, but harbours an astonishing wealth of Khmer stone, bronze, and wooden sculpture. Last stop at Wat Phnom; a small hill crowned by an active Wat marks the legendary founding place of the Phnom Penh.

In the afternoon transfer to Choeung Ek Killing Fields Site; a group of mass graves and a memorial stupa containing thousands of skulls. Then we will back to the city to visti Toul Sleng Genocide Museum; it was a high school. When the Khmer Rouge came to power it was converted into the S-21 prison and interrogation facility. The building now serves as a museum, a memorial and a testament to the madness of the Khmer Rouge regime. Much has been left in the state it was when the Khmer Rouge abandoned it in January 1979. The prison kept extensive records, leaving thousands of photos of their victims, many of which are on display. Paintings of torture at the prison by Vann Nath, a survivor of Toul Sleng, are also on display. The museum’s famous and controversial “skull map” has recently been dismantled.
