Re: Some old pictures
I gather from one of the photos here that it was once common for Khmer women to go topless?
I have tried unsuccessfully to find this out in the past.
Perhaps Mr Bingham, being well informed on historical affairs of the region could comment.

Zhou Daguan, who visited Cambodia in 1296-7, noted that "Generally speaking, the women, like the men, wear only a strip of cloth bound around the waist, showing bare breasts of milky whiteness."frank lee bent wrote:I gather from one of the photos here that it was once common for Khmer women to go topless?

I have seen many photos of bare-breasted women from the late 19th-early 20th century. In remote tribal areas it is still possible to see this. I assume that the habit died out during the French period. It was probably discouraged by authorities and seen as primitive or even obscene from a Christian/civilized outlook.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
