Thank you so much for this information.

We very much enjoyed (if you can call dark tourism enjoyable? but I’m sure you know what I mean..) our time in PP, but it was short. We picked up motorised tuktuks from outside our hotel, and booked them for the KIlling Fields and then from there onto the Prison. Went first to the KF, and did the full audio tour and a lttle bit longer there, then lunch, although we werent particular hungry, and then to the prison and back to hotel. We were back at hotel by say 330pm. It’s an emotionally draining experience, we normally take longer than most visitors around places, and generally go very slow at places like this, so yes both in the same day will be fine. It will be the transport between all your places in Cambodia and Laos that kills the time, the roads arent great, and while it might feel like your transport is going fast… its just the roads!

Thanks. I really appreciate the feedback. Although it is a must stop, I am reading that the safety conditions there for petty theft, dishonesty, etc have deteriorated over the last few years, so we are only planning on spending minimal time in PP. So one full day you can see the Killing Fields and Prison adequately you think? We are trying to fit Cambodia and Laos in two weeks, so every day counts.

We had 2 nights there – arrived mid afternoon on the first day, and got our bearings, spent the next day seeing everything we wanted to, stayed that night and left the following morning.
