Battambang province, Cambodia - January 30, 2014 - Phnom Sampov is well known as Battambang's most spectacular tourism site, what with the literally millions of bats that pour out of a cave near a giant Buddha's head carving, but also because of the historical massacre site at in the caves on top of the mountain. The bats have featured on my blog before, so for the sake of this article I only want to show some visions of the top of the mountain, and also three of the lesser-known Khmer Rouge sites up there as well.

| A prison where 200 people were kept with snakes and scorpions, according to a boy who once guided me through this place. |
 |
| This inside of the prison looks miserable. |
 |
| But the water, however is very fresh, so us and other tourists and tuk tuk drivers wash our faces in it. |
 |
| This cave, to the left of the main cave, is where the corpses of 2000 infants were found thrown, with their skulls ruthlessly smashed on the rock at the top of it. |
 |
| Tragically, in this cave to the right of the main cave was found the corpses of 800 pregnant women, all with the fetuses cannibalised. |
