@am1966ath oh and just to break it down for you. The first Tai kingdom in record is dated around 545BC Singanuwat Nakorn, aka yonok nakorn chaiburi sri chiang saen. SEA Tai culture predates khmers by almost a thousand years. Ayuthaya, Sukhotai, Lanna. we are all the same people. The birth of our people in SEA is Singhanuwat nakorn, not SukhoTai. The understanding of Sukhotai being the first Tai kingdom is outdated.
@am1966ath yeah, im not denying that we must have been influenced by angkorian culture as Angkor was the one to be at that time. But since Angkor fell, It was all about siam. The culture that returned to cambodia has been Siamised quite considerably. What you see today looks more like the Siamese style then the Angkorian style. So to make it simple The royal cambodian dance is heavily influenced by Siam. Why does it look so similar? because we taught you our version of the dance.
@KensaiZen You mean that THAI civilization preceeds that of the Khmers?? The Khmers ruled large parts of Indochina long before the great siamese city of Aytthia(1350-1767)..the siamese probably took Angkor in a war and took part of that sophisticated civilization as its own...not forbidden.
@am1966ath Khmer classical dance was retaught to khmers by the Siamese. Is it a wonder they are similar? khmers don't want to admit it lol but its recorded history. Just about everything post Angkorian is of siamese influence.
@GangsterKittensMovie WTF????? You smoked in a temple? Could you be anymore disrespectful? It is still wonderful, you can still go to the top...but it is now expected that to do so is to be done with respect!!! Where are you from that you travel with such disregard for others???

you smoked in a temple?!?!?? What were you thinking?? Nice respect...nice regard for others...even worse you sound proud of it.
I was there Nov. 2010, you can still go the top, pray with monks, and enjoy the splendor of it all...but it is expected that you do so with respect.
