Intro to Cambodia

Day 1: CAMBODIA INTRO BEGINS

When you land in Phnom Penh after your flight we’ll be at the airport to meet you and take you to the hotel. You’ll have plenty of time to recover from your flight, chill out and meet everyone in your group. That night we’ll head out for our first dinner and drinks together.

Day 2: S21 PRISON AND KILLING FIELDS

After a tuk tuk tour through the crazy streets of Phnom Penh, we’ll make two important stops at the S21 Prison and the original Killing Fields to learn about the dark history of this fascinating country. A difficult day, but a must to properly understand the journey of the Cambodian people in recent decades.
