Controversy pictures over Angkor Sangkrant
There are a lot of discussions over the week about all these pictures among mostly young Cambodian facebook users. They have discussed and shared around them in many facebook groups. Many of them claimed that It ( the gate) is not Cambodia architecture. It is completely Vietnam's. Then, It linked to the discussion whether Bokor Mountain is still belong to Cambodia. Not to mention, the Angkor Wat. Many of them said, perhaps Angkor Wat and Bokor Mountain are no longer belong to the kingdom.

Doesn't look good at all.
What is 'sangkrant'? I can't find it in the dictionary.

As far as i know. Songkran means one year. So, for Khmer new year, we celebrate it for three days
The first day calls Maha Songkran
The second day calls Virak Wanabat
The third day calls Virak loeurng Sak
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian_New_Year
Here are some links about the word songkran, in case you can read khmer

Right, that decoration looks ugly.

បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។
If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.

Re: Controversy pictures over Angkor Sangkrant
Thanks for that.
I had misspelt it.
It's to do with the transition of one year to the next. i.e New Year, as you mentioned.

The designers are obviously denying any outside influence and assert that the design is 100% Cambodian, here are the design influences :

Re: Controversy pictures over Angkor Sangkrant
Are red and yellow historic colors associated with the Khmer royal family? From my superficial view, those colors would seem to reflect the modern Vietnamese flag and not the Cambodian flag colors...but I'm not aware of the historical color significance.

Re: Controversy pictures over Angkor Sangkrant
The art inside is copy from Khmer style but the color, the roof,the shape of gate and the two anchors really look like Vietnam style. I don't want to analyse it. Horrible meaning !

I don't think so. But you can see the design, it actually doesn't look like Cambodia architecture.Soi Dog wrote:Are red and yellow historic colors associated with the Khmer royal family?
