Soun (pronounced Soon) Rattana is a landmine survivor, a war veteran, a former Khmer Rouge child soldier, and the star of the film Broken Courage. His tours hold a 100% rating on TripAdvisor.

Soun takes you through the local war museum and, with it, through Cambodia’s recent past. The exhibits and relics are one thing; hearing them explained by someone who was there is another entirely. You come away understanding what the country has survived, and why reconciliation matters to the people who live here.

Visitors consistently describe him as professional, generous with his time, and impossible to forget. This is not a comfortable tour, and it is not meant to be — it is the one most people say they are gladdest they took.

This is a 3 hour tour starting at 8:00am.
