Chamkamorn District takes us to the Russian Market and Olympic Stadium, and is home to a number of fine temples. However it is best known for the Genocide or Tuol Seng Museum.
This former high school built by the French had been from 1975 to 1979 the prison that was the most terrifying of the Khmer Rouge period.

Russian Market
Continuing on, we visit the Russian Markets, which were named after the 1980s period, when people from Russia were the predominant tourists. This bustling local market is a treasure trove of clothes, art, handicraft, food, and almost anything else you can think of.
We move on from here, taking with us a local snack for morning tea, through the bustling streets of downtown Phnom Penh.

Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum
It is a somber thought that these bustling streets you are seeing now lead you, like war victims, to the Genocide Museum.

It now chronicles this dark chapter of Cambodian history, and is a must-see for those wanting an understanding of this period and what the people suffered through.
