Description
An interesting touring addition for those who have a little more time in Siem Reap and are keen to learn about the recent turbulent history of Cambodia.Anlong Veng lies 125km north of Siem Reap in the area of Dangrek Mountains which mark the border between Cambodia and Thailand.It appears on the touring map for two main reasons: it was the last stronghold of the Khmer Rouge and is the resting place of Pol Pot.Not much remains of Pol Pot's bunker but a shell of a house overgrown with foliage and “decorated” with profane graffiti.The province still has plenty of mine fields but these are away from the town centre and experts are working continuously on their clearance.Your guide will be able to shed more light on the last few decades and perhaps share the story of his/her family in those difficult times.
