Khieu Samphan's House

Northwestern Cambodia


Former Khmer Rouge leader Khieu Samphan’s house is one of the most difficult sites to get to in the Dangrek Mountains area and many local moto drivers don't know the route. It's buried in the jungle on the bank of a stream about 5km east of Pol Pot's House.
