Phnom Penh Phnom Penh's history begins with the Lady Penh who discovered five Buddha images concealed in a tree, had a pagoda named Wat Phnom Don Penh built on the same spot. The city was founded a century later, taking its name from the pagoda that became the capital in 1866. Going to Cambodia is not complete without going to Phnom Penh. This is where the country's most chilling site : The Killing Fields and Tuol Sleng Museum. |
Phnom Penh Hired a motobike or take a ride on the tuk tuk to see the city. |
Phnom Penh If you can get up in the morning do view the sunrise on the Mekong. |

Nice Phnom Penh page. Oh.. I missed the Russian Market. I spent more time on the river promenade and went overland to HMCH from here. SL | drolkar Fri Oct 27, 2006 14:14 UTC
