The Siem Reap War Museum is located on National Route No 6 near the Cambodian Cultural Village. Coming from Siem Reap town on the right-hand side, just behind the military office. Take a Remok, Motorbike, or car. The guy that runs this small and very new place was forced to join the Khmer Rouge as a boy and trained to make lay landmines, something they were all too good at. The Vietnamese-installed government rescued him in 1985-so his story goes thereafter he helped the government in clearing areas where landmines have been laid. His name is Akira and he is a friendly guy who speaks English and Japanese and is happy to visit with people who come by.
