Next, continue to the killing fields of Choeung Ek. Wander around and see more than 5,000 human skulls stored in the Buddhist stupa also containing human bones. And see the pits from which these bodies were exhumed.

After lunch, continue to the charming Royal Palace, the official residence of the King of Cambodia. Marvel at the intricate Khmer architectural designs featuring a defense wall, throne building, stupas, and towering spires.
