This is a derelict government building in the coastal town of Kep. Kep, in its heydays, was the prime weekend getaway location of Phnom Penh’s elite and its French colonisers. Opulent villas were built there – including the Royal Family’s vacation house – but all were abandoned in the 70s during the Khmer Rouge regime. Nowadays, these villas stood there, crumbled and ruined, as witnesses of Kep’s fomer glory and the cruelty of the Khmer Rouge era.
