Khmer traditional dance - "Sovan Macha" Mermaid & Hanuman

Enjoy Khmer traditional dance. Khmer dances almost destroyed by the Khmer Rouge killing fields from 1975-1979. Thanks for those survivors who had helped train a new generation of Cambodia about this great traditional dance !

You need to spend times reading Khmer Empire history, the creator of SEA. Learn and ask why the world education gave credit to Khmer for the SEA culture. Thailand lost WWII to European and should thank to Cambodia that Cambodia allowing Thailand to have a country today. Cambodia had full right telling France what Cambodia wanted.

UNLESS I AM MISTAKEN,THE FIRST DANCER REPRESENTS HANUMAN, THE MONKEY KING. IT TAKES SO MANY YEARS TO DEVELOP THE INCREDIBLE SKILL OF THESE DANCERS. WHEN I VISITED THE KINGDOM AROUND 1999, I WAS DISTRESSED AT HOW MUCH OF TRADITIONAL KHMER CULTURE HAD BEEN DESTROYED BY THE COMMUNISTS. AT LEAST 90 PERCENT OF TRADITIONAL DANCERS, PARTICULARLY MALE DANCERS, WERE KILLED. I REJOICE TO SEE SOME HEALING AND THE KHMER RECLAIMING THEIR CULTURAL BIRTHRIGHT.

In history, Khmer or Cambodia has ever been part of Thailand, but France want imperialism.They want Thailand was slave, but Thai not allow >deny

Therefore,France want to have war with Thai. It's seriously, because Thai hadn't the gun.

The last Thailand allow give part of area in thailand to France.It's Cambodia.

I think the traditional and culture is not different. because.ฺboth country are near area and Khem has ever been part of Thailand.

Have you ever read Thai and Cambodia History?

he didn't answer my question. i'll not say bad to khmer if they r not disturb me.

[BrandedJaded]

@PailinAC Thailand doesn't have anything useful anyway. Cambodia has been far off better without any Thai involvement, because history has shown that Thailand has done nothing good for Cambodia as a nation. There has only been more destruction that has come from Thailand than anything else.

[BrandedJaded]

Why is it that there is always a need for Thai viewers to criticize and/or try to make Khmer culture illegitimate? Is there this constant need to try to ascertain your identities as a Thai?
