Andy, go to youtube and type in sak yant(Khmer magical tatoos), they are doing it in Thailand, I must warn you, the tatoos are very powerful, however
there is a down side to it. What they did is swapping your soul for a more power spirit into your living body, another word you can and will lose your
soul in the process. Go to youtube and you'll know what I mean. I once knew a guy who knows a
very powerful magical spell, he led a gorilla war
against the Vietnamese army and the Thai army and
never lost a single man in a battle. It was during Vietnam occupation of Cambodia in 1978-1989
Khmer refugees were being butchered by Thai artilleries and Vietnamese asshole, we were on the
Thai-Khmer borders and had no where to run but to
fight back against all enemies.

Thais are thieves for stealing Khmer creation and claimed as Thais.
Even Muay Thai has Khmer creation inside of Muay Thai.
Khmer letters, Khmer vowels and Khmer numerals are using by Thais right now in Thailand, Thais never give credit or mention the Khmer who helped Thai ancestors from the Mongol killing or helped Siam from the Burmese occupation, but to claim every Khmer creation belonging to Thais. Yet, Thais were the destroyers of Khmer temples and now they are collecting tourist money from Khmer temples.
Thais are the shameless people on earth.

It's not ancient temple.
It's Khmer Preah Vihear Temple.
I hate when people such ignorant can't write
properly the name of Khmer temple.

People don't have no shame anymore. They steal others' belonging right in the day light where everyone watches and no matter how low the value of their people seems, they still claim it's their right.
If...I say if, the Thais are granted with Prea Vihear Temple, they should at least share the profits with Cambodia. That's what I think.

Please all thai acknowledge khmer who is the original culture and is your Parents.

Thais were not there when the temple was built, Thai people weren’t even existed. Thailand was found only in 1939, Cambodia was found over 2000 years ago.
Khmer historians teach Khmer-Thai history to Khmer students in every Khmer school. Khmer historians, Khmer scholars, Khmer archeology and foreign archeology founded the Khmer stone description K380 K381 K382 telling who were the temple builders and when was the temple built.

Name: Prasat Preah Vihear
Creators: Khmer King Suryavarman I
& Suryavarman II
Build dated: 11th. & 12th centuries
Dedicated: To Hindu God Shiva
Architecture style: Khmer Bantey Srei style and others.
Location: Preah Vihear, Cambodia

Khmer ancestors carved Khmer living, Khmer history, Khmer culture almost on every Khmer stone wall temple. There were Khmer description carved on the stone wall of Preah Vihear Temple, the Thai King used concrete to cover up all Khmer description and the Thai King wrote in Thai language on concrete saying the temple belonging to Thailand without shame.

Before the French left Cambodia, the French handed over the map to the Thai govt indicated that Khmer Preah Vihear Temple was inside Khmer territory on the map.
The Thai govt accepted the French map without contesting against the French.
As soon as the French left, Thai troops invaded Khmer Preah Temple and stole Khmer statues from the temple and took them to Bangkok.

Khmer King Sihanouk took Thailand to the international court of justice.
Thailand accepted to go on trial with Cambodia. Thailand lost a case against Cambodia.
Read the June 15, 1962 judgment link below.

http://www.icj-cij.org/docket/index.php...

Today, Cambodia wanted Khmer Preah Vihear Temple to be protected by UNESCO, ignorant Thai people, ignorant Thai foreign Minister, ignorant Thai judges are all flip flop on the Preah Vihear issue over the international court decision.

Whether Khmer Preah Vihear Temple would be accepted by UNESCO or not, Khmers still own the Khmer temple and if Thais want to visit the Khmer temple, Thais have to pay the fees just like the rest of tourist in Cambodia.

Since Khmer temple now has been granted by UNESCO to be protected, those ignorant Thais above need to grow up and learn the true Khmer-Thai history from Khmers and stop dreaming of having Khmer Preah Vihear temple belonging to Thailand.

Thais have enough Khmer land and Khmer temples in Thailand plus Thais are using Khmer letters, Khmer vowels, Khmer numerals that Thais never created and Thais never give credit to khmers or mention the word “Khmer” in Thai history or in Thai culture.

Thailand must correct its history and teaches its people to respect Khmers, because Thai ancestors were Tai people from Nanchao, China. Tai people were helped by Khmers when they ran from the Mongol killing.

who said I'm crying? I don't ever sweat the things you say. Here you are going around harrassing people about your bleeding for Khmer land and such.
The only thing I will have left IF Cambodia is taken is my pride of being a Khmer. You on the other hand keeping bleeding because your dream ain't nothing but a psychotic piece of trash.
BTW if you haven't noticed, I live in the USof A.

There no prove to support that the internal war is a main source causing the collapse Angkor, only the old folk said. Scientist now just learned vast area of population than previous thought from satellite image. The intrigue canals and deforestation could be the key that enable produce surplus of rice to support the population of one million people. Also, it could the cause of down fall due to unstable environment of drought, flood and disease .

I just want to share and let Thai people knows that your (thai) people have stolen my Cambodian heritages, territories and civil norms for the last decades. We still have all the living evidents i.e. people in Sorin, Nokoreach (Korad), Srisaket, Burirum etc. You still not return all those temple of Phnom, Moeng tum so and so. Now you want to continue this bad habit.. I just remind you that it is hard to do so.

I don't agree of saying "The collapse Angkor", I rather say "Siam Thieves plundering Angkor". The Siam attack without warning, Khmers did not prepare for the attack. Khmers were still able to escape and came back kicking the Siam thieves out of Angkor. Khmer King Ponhnea Yat decided to move his capital from Angkor to Chaktokmok City that means Angkor was not collapsed.

Cambodia claimed ownership of Preah Vihear temple since 1962, and most recently we won the the UNISCO deal eventhough Thailand did't agree with it. The only reason that Thailand object the temple deal is that they afraid that Cambodia might want to claim all of Khmer's provinces in Thailand that the culprit Thais stole from us. THAT IS THE FACT. Right now they probably working on ways to protect the Khmer's provinces from Khmers.
