Tuol Sleng closed

January 22nd, 2008

While in Phnom Penh this weekend my Moto driver Han explained to me on Sunday that Tuol Sleng was closed. Now, this is normally just a way for touts to encourage tourists to go somewhere else and receive commission. It seemed strange to me that Han would do that, and I tried to find out more about it, but he didn’t know any details. As I didn’t want to go to Tuol Sleng anyway, I wasn’t bothered about finding out. Anyway, now I know what happened: Mia Farrow’s anti China rally has brought about some turmoil. See the Bangkok Post article for details.
