Hey with translation

Have questions or resources regarding Khmer Culture? This forum is all about the Kingdom of Cambodia's culture. Khmer language, Cambodian weddings, French influence, Cambodian architecture, Cambodian politics, Khmer customs, etc? This is the place. Living in Cambodia can cause you to experience a whole new level of culture shock, so feel free to talk about all things related to the Khmer people, and their traditions. And if you want something in Khmer script translated into English, you will probably find what you need.

Are you sure they called you that and it was not just a exclamation of fright or anger?

It translates as "contemptible thief". What have you done now?
Silence, exile, and cunning.

OP should reply back with ‘Joy Mai’ or ‘Jom’ when insulted like that.

At least on a gutter talk level.
