How do khmers compare with thais?

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. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. 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. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I don't think there is much difference if you're comparing people in rural Cambodia and rural Thailand. Let's not generalize whole nations of people based on a handful of interactions with them.

On the visit to Thailand, was in the back of the tour car with missus, and the Thai driver and guide in the front. The Thai were speaking very softly, like the kind of whispering one does when saying bad stuff behind one’s back. Was told by the guide this is the normal volume for Thai, unless they are those ‘other’ (aka, been polluted by living near the Cambodian border). Also told that honking while driving was a sign of rudeness.

Just a single observation from the eternal tourist to the KOW.
