Five Days in Phnom Penh - Cambodia 🇰🇭 - A City with a Dark Past

DESCRIPTION
As part of our tour round SE Asia we spent six days in Phnom Penh. Phnom Penh is a huge vibrant city and capital of the Kingdom of Cambodia with many historic buildings mixed in amongst new skyscrapers. It also has a dark past and between 1975 and 1979 under the communist dictator Pol Pot and his Khmer Rogue Party a quarter of the population was wiped out in a prolonged holocaust. In this Vlog we stay at the beautiful Sweet Stay Homestay, visit the genocide museum and the killing fields, take a sunset cruise on the river, walk around the royal palace and take a very hot bike ride on Silk Island. Be sure to check out our other videos in the SE Asia series, all linked below for ease. Enjoy...!

Name a city without a dark past

[@mikeandcheryl]

I agree, I don't think there is any city without a dark, or at least a chequered past.
