Controversy pictures over Angkor Sangkrant

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Angkor Wat is not controlled by Sokha Hotels. All they do is sell the tickets.
Yes, they sell tickets and collect money :p

That one sucks too. It looks like they cobbled it together out of left over junk.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I like the new one more, though I agree the controversy was obnoxious and more about bashing Vietnam than anything else.

The old one was much better. Those decorative elements are kbach, which is particular to Khmer design and have been in use for over a millennium. Whoever said it was a Vietnamese design is an uneducated ignoramus.

On the new one the the kbach has script over it which looks terrible. It's also got a rough unfinished look with the metal supports showing. It's shite.
