Khmers helped Thais!
Where, when, what and why?
This is a response to those Thai ignorant that refused to recognize and acknowledge that Thais were helped by Khmers and why Thailand adopted Khmer culture and custom instead of adopting their own Chinese-Tai's.
Thai culture and custom resemble almost 80% to Khmer Civilization such as culture, custom, art, language, numerals, dances, court, etiquette and religion etc..and nothing resemble to Chinese-Tai culture and custom as they claimed they came from Chinese-Tai.
Thailand has been lying to the world by making up a false history about Khmers and Thais. The truth history is that Thais have become a nation today because of the Khmer help. If Tai aka Siam aka Thai were powerful by themselves as they claimed for sacking Khmer Empire even the most powerful army of the Mongol could not even sack Khmer Empire, why would Thais who used to be Tai refugees could sack a massive Khmer Empire???? If Tais were powerful alone by themselves, why would not they fight against the Mongol who invaded their homeland of Nanchao and why would not Tais keep their Chinese-Tai culture and custom today instead of adopting Khmer culture and custom?.
The answer is because of Khmer Civilization that helped Tai refugees to become strong, Khmer Civilization that helped Tai refugees to become civilized and Khmer Civilization that taught Tai refugees to fight.
In 1216, The Khmer King Jayavarman VIII was so kind, the King allowed Tai refugees to settle their new lives among Khmer people and allowed Khmer people to teach Tai refugees of Great Khmer Civilization such as culture, custom, art, language, numerals, dance, and especially Khmer tactic of fighting Bokator and Kbach Kun Boran Khmer to protect themselves just in case the Mongol would invade Khmer Empire.
When the Mongol army chased Tai refugees in to Khmer land, the Khmer army captured 2 Mongol Commanders; Commander Me Roi (Hundred Commander) and Commander Me Poin (Thousand Commander) and the Khmer army killed hundred of the Mongol soldiers.
Khmer Empire and Mongol Empire had a peace talk.
A peace agreement between the Mongol Empire and the Khmer Empire had been respected.
The Mongol Emperor Chenzong of Yuan China sent a diplomat Zhou Daguan to pay respect to the Khmer King Indravarman III. Zhou Daguan and his team were very impressed by Khmer Civilization and he had to write about Khmer Empire which Zhou Daguan named it as "Custom of Chenla" and it was translated in 1819 by a French A. Remusal and again in 1902 by a French P. Pelliot.
Preah Rong, a Khmer King brother and some other Khmers who supported Preah Rong never stopped teaching Tai people about Khmer tactic of fighting, especially Khmer martial arts of Bokator and Kbach Kun Boran Khmer (Thais changed it to Muay Thai) and Khmer magic Sak Yant to protect themselves just in case the Mongol would invade Khmer land again. And that's how Thais knew all Khmer tactic of fighting and knew all of Khmer Kbach Kun Boran Khmer and Khmer magic Sak Yant.
Preah Rong helped Tai refugees to found a tribe called "Muang Tai". The Khmer King did not know that Muang Tai had a plan to betray Khmer people.
With Preah Rong and other Khmer help, Muang Tai rebelled against Khmer Empire without warning and Muang Tai attacked a small Khmer town Sovann Lok and plunded a Khmer City of Sukhotei and Tais changed Sukhotei to Sukhotai and changed again to Sukhothai.
The Khmer King did not want to hurt people of Muang Tai because of the Khmer King's brother Preah Rong and those Khmers who wanted to help Muang Tai. The Khmer King allowed Muang Tai taking Khmer Sukhotei. After Khmer Sukhotei was taken by Muang Tai, Tai people were fighting each other to have Sukhotei and they were divided in two groups and called themselves as Siam and Lao.
Khmers helped Tai refugees from the Mongol killing, helped them to found "Muang Tai", offered Muang Thai of Great Khmer Civilization and also Khmers helped Tais aka Siams to fight against Burma in 1548-1592 and in 1760-1767 when Siam was taken by Burma twice.
Thailand changed its people ID from Tai to Siam and from Siam to Thai, because Thailand did not want to show the world that because of Great Khmer Civilization that helped them to become a nation today.
When Khmer refugees ran into Thailand in 1979-1980, Thailand ordered to shoot thousand of Khmer refugees and forced Khmer refugees to walk on the landmine back to Cambodia and those thousand of Khmer refugees died.
Thais did not want Khmer refugees to live in Thailand because Thais thought that Khmer refugees would do the same as they do when they were Tai refugees betraying Khmer people for helping them from the Mongol killing!
Luckily for Khmer refugees that the world helped them by paying billion of dollars to Thailand to get Khmer refugees out of Thailand.
Until up todate, Thailand has not apologied to Khmer people yet for killing those innocent thousand Khmer refugees.
