Again..........

Have questions or resources regarding Khmer Culture? This forum is all about the Kingdom of Cambodia's culture. Khmer language, Cambodian weddings, French influence, Cambodian architecture, Cambodian politics, Khmer customs, etc? This is the place. Living in Cambodia can cause you to experience a whole new level of culture shock, so feel free to talk about all things related to the Khmer people, and their traditions. And if you want something in Khmer script translated into English, you will probably find what you need.

Again..........

Post by Samouth »

I accidentally found all these pictures posted and shared around by Cambodia local news facebook pages and some famous facebook pages in Cambodia. Many Cambodians have shared and discussed about it. Some thought that it is really inappropriate to climb on the roof of the temple as it shows no respect to the sacred place of Cambodia.

It's an improvement. Agreed. :D

I think these kids don't have a clue about the significance of where they are - for them its just a heap of stones to climb on or a picturesque ruin to take selfies in. They should probably just hang out at the beach and not pretend they are interested in khmer culture.

Right, it is good that they didn't take off their clothes. However, it is still inappropriate.

I agreed, however sometime it is really hard to blame them for such case, as they might have never read about khmer culture. I think if i were them walking in any countries Europe. I might have done something crazy and inappropriate in local eyes too.
