This video was filmed one rainy day at Olympic Stadium in Phnom Penh. The stadium's history is both famous and notorious:

Olympic Stadium was designed by Vann Molyvann by Cambodia's most remarkable modern architect. The stadium was built during Phnom Penhs Golden Age with the view to hosting the 1963 Southeast Asian Peninsular Games, but the games were cancelled due to political problems in Cambodia. Vann was the most talented of a large group of architects who contributed to the unique and authentic style of architecture that emerged during this era and that has been coined New Khmer Architecture.
During the Khmer Rouge era, the stadium was used as the site of executions by the Khmer Rouge of officials in the administration of Lon Nol.
In the decades following the Khmer Rouge era, the stadium facilities fell into disrepair. As of 2007, the stadium has come to be a popular attraction for Phnom Penh residents, who attend daily exercise sessions, as well as football games and other activities.
