Cambodian Royal Court Dancing

The Khmer Rouge tried to exterminate all practitioners of traditional Cambodian dancing. They failed. This exquisite dance is a segment from "Ho Asked Me to Go", my video of Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos.

thai music and dance is heavily influenced by khmer traditions. unfortunately it was all but obliterated by the khmer rouge.

Great and graceful original Khmer traditional dance. We had this same dance on the wall of the famous Angkor Wat while our neighbor still nomads.

@Miracle2551 : Go back to school again. Read history books written by independent writers other than Thai writers! before the 13th century, your ancestors were just nomads, no land while the Khmer had glorious city and magnificent architecture already. I hope yr fellow Thais not stupid as you and you not stupid like your father cos of his genes.

@sirisaktan When the royal khmer danse begin, you are still at nanchao in china, because you can see it in the scarving at angkor wat built in the 11th century. And Unesco has classified it as cultural world heritage. I don't where you have these wrong information, please give your source

@sirisaktan first of all I don't "do" stupid. second I'm not cambodian.third you're an idiot. it is common knowledge for those with some inkling of Thai and Khmer history that Thai culture has borrowed from other cultures just as all other cultures to some greater or lesser extent have borrowed from each other.Many Khmer loanwords are found in Thai and Lao and vice versa. The Thai Alphabet is derived from the Khmer alphabet, which in turn, is derived from the Pallava script of southern India.

@stuffledtoy : Do you stupid . King Norodom I ( Ang duong ) ask the Thai royal court send teacher to teach Khmer to dance . Its the truth . Please stop cheating and attemp to stole Thai culture .

Thai people teaching you how to dance , don't be forget .

Before stupid posting please study the history of your own country carefully.

Southeast Asia was a home of Khmer people, Thai were kicked out of Tailand in Nanchao by the Mongol and they became the slaves of Khmerpeople and they copied Khmer culture since then. Watch video on my channel Thai copied even Khmer Angkor Wat for Thai royal palace today.
