Phnom Sampeau

Phnom Sampeau is the region where the Khmer Rouge destroys human bodies, and it's just as creepy as the field of death. The victims were dragged to the cave's top and beaten to death with sticks. The Khmer Rouge soldiers then pushed their bodies down into the tunnels below.

Visitors today visit the Killing Caves, which have been kept as a tribute to those who were killed and drowned in the darkness. Unidentified victims' bones are kept in glass cases in the caves, while other random bone collections are kept in wooden crates as a reminder of their history.

Every late afternoon, a crowd of curious people gathers here to witness a breathtaking scene. Thousands of bats appear to emerge from a cave to begin their nighttime hunt. Every evening, many species of bats put on a beautiful show by emerging from their hiding tunnels and forming a whirling spiral into the night sky.
