@lchan90a

No worries. I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the positive comments. FYI: I'll be shooting a number of students in various traditional Khmer dance costumes this Sunday the second of October. This will take place in my studio as well as the National Museum in Phnom Penh. Here's a list of the costumes: Yeak, Sva Pul, Robam Chot Srow, Apsara, Hanuman. If you need some more close ups of the crown or anything else let me know. Cheers.

@ThePployzZ. Dude know the history before you talk shit. Its more like Thai Culture and dance is a copy of Khmer culture. Just because your country is more andvance doesnt mean you guys are the orginal, im sorrie learn before you speak.

@ThePployzZ This video has absolutely nothing to do with Thailand so why are commenting with that?

[sunny68495]

A history long before Thailand and Vietnam.... a history long after Thailand and Vietnam.... Apsara the icon of Southeast Asia...

@ThePployzZ Thailand ( katoy ) is better than Cambodian :), you're right

@ThePployzZ

It's more like the other way around.Take the advice of some of the people on here, acquire some true knowledge of the history between Thailand and Cambodia. It's ignorant of you to presume opinions imply facts.

Does the crown feel heavy on top of the head?

[tofoodood]

LOL...I'm just amused every time a Thai sees anything remotely resembles to their culture they ignorantly claim theirs.

@Longchean - Great video! Who is the artist in background music? It sounds a lot like Yoyo Ma's cello.

@mizpuppet WOW!!!!! Finally I come across someone who really understand traditional Asia dancer. We have so many taboos and rituals just getting ready. It started with the cleansing,make up, costumes, accesories and finally the headgear. It's a big no no for anyone else to touch any of the dancers accesories especially the headgear.BTW I an a Balinese Classical dancer. I love all Asian classical dances.

@ThePployzZ I definitely agree. People should learn the history before assuming things.
