Angkor Wat Temple dishonored again..

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything.

Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

these knucklehead nudies are getting the reaction they want.
I think the issue is that even though were all have a dick or or cunt, there are appropriate times and places to expose them, and the Cambodians feel that Angkor is not the appropriate place. And though perhaps some of the nudists are getting the attention they desired, especially if they got out of the country before being discovered, I'm not so sure all of them are. Those two American girls didn't look so happy with the attention they received. And if more people are caught doing this sort of thing, I figure the Cambodians will at some point not suspend the sentence when they are convicted, which will probably be seen by those affected as even less desirable attention.

Instead of getting pissed off about a couple of nudes next to nude carvings, the Cambodians should get pissed off about a rich guy making millions of $$$$$ in admission fees to Angkor Wat and not putting anything back in it in infrastructure, or the rape of Ream Park by the well connected Chinese (Yeejia Development/United International Investment Group/Chinese-government), or the coastline being fenced off to Cambodians by well connected moneyed people/corporations (Sokha Corp., Yeejia Development, United International Investment, Chinese government,) or the rape of the forests by well connected generals/corporations.

It seems that priorities are back-asswards, but like a magician, look at this hand here, but don't look at the other hand.
Very good point. In term of historical context of the topless apsara dancing chicks, in ancient time beautiful, adolescent and virgins girls are solely for the authorities. You dont have to look too far back in history...take Monivong, the Norodom cronies and the ugly Hun clans for example.

This Angkor Wat patriotism is complete bullshit. Their masters, Vietnamese and Chinese communist control the territory and they know how to play the game since day one....while the clueless, patriotic Khmers think it is theirs.

In term of contemporary Khmer chicks afraid to be in bikini, they are...being labeled a slut is 5 times the insult in the Khmer language. Anyway, they have no problem showing their naked body to their love and loyal one behind the curtain.

The ancient temples experience today isnt authentic. Back in the 50s...from my parent told me...it was a holy place for monks, roadside sellers and and visitors were in harmony.

Forget what else I wanted to say. :beer3:

Well it certainly seems appropriate for men to expose themselves almost anywhere to take a whizz.

Not much of an argument. It is the nature of the monarch and the royal families all over because they are used to in complete control.

What I find interesting is the Sailor would argue that Cambodia is on the path to extreme conservatism as evidenced by the half-naked apsara dancers on the temple walls as contrasted with requiring people to keep their clothes on at the temples today, perhaps even hinting at the hypocrisy of it all. Then you added that the kings also used to reserve sexual access to virgins and adolescent girls to themselves. Just thinking about what that says about Sailor's argument regarding this conservative trend and hypocrisy.

Some new sexy photos with Angkor Wat in the background have recently emerged. Maybe a Khmerican this time? Definitely Photoshopped this time around:
