Battambang
January 20th, 2010
I was here for one and a half days. On my full day I hired a moto driver to take me to the attractions around the city. The first stop was a killing cave where Pol Pot’s regime killed thousands of Cambodians and then threw them in the caves like trash. Today the bones of those victims have been collect and a series of temples and Buddhist statues mark the site allowing for the soles of the dead to reach heaven.
After the cave we went to a prasat (ancient Khmer temple). While there I stumbled upon the shooting of a music video. Apparently the artist is very popular with the tweens because there were many there following his every move.
