Lonely Planet review for Khmer Rouge Statues
About 2km before the frontier, where the road splits to go around a house-sized boulder, look out for a group of statues - hewn entirely from the surrounding rock by the Khmer Rouge - depicting a woman carrying bundles of bamboo sticks on her head and two uniformed Khmer Rouge soldiers, since decapitated by government forces.
Now a macabre place of popular pilgrimage, local people come here to leave offerings of fruit and incense to honour the souls of dead Khmer Rouge soldiers.
