Social media users upset over missing Cambodian flag on king's visit to Vietnam

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.

Social media users upset over missing Cambodian flag on king's visit to Vietnam

Post by fax »

A man named Tara Om has shared pictures of the Cambodian king arriving for a visit to Vietnam on Facebook. The pictures show only Vietnamese flags raised. People are wondering why they did not raise the Cambodian flag, as Cambodia normally greets Vietnamese and other country leaders with their respective flags.

Is it unusual for Vietnam to not raise the Cambodian flag for the king's visit? I don't want to link to the post because of the amount of anti Vietnam hate posts written by delusional people.

Without doing any research..... let a guess that the Cambodian flag will be on the right just off the field of view.

I imagine HRH King Sihamoni won't have minded. From what I've read, he's a humble man, and I imagine he's seen the Cambodian flag on his travels once or twice in the last few years...! :D
