Thais Produce Underwear With Angkor Wat Logo & Piss Off Cambodians

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

People are busy getting their knickers in a twist on social media again; finding subjects for outrage.

According to social media, a Thai online shop has shocked Cambodians by selling underwear with an Angkor Wat logo on them. It has been called really offensive and insulting to Cambodian traditions, civilization and culture.

A Cambodian artist, DJ Ajathom, is really upset with the Thai people who are making these underwear with the Angkor Wat logo and selling them online. He calls for punishment for those Thai people who insult Angkor Wat temple, which is a symbol of Cambodian national identity.

With the Thai king's name being Vajiralongkorn, Cambodia's underwear response is expected to be prompt.

In the name of better relationships between Cambodia and Thailand, those panties must come off.

How was the Thailand connection made? As far as I can tell from the screenshots in the OP, it's a Cafe press shop, maintained by "International Apparel", by a bloke called Tim in Los Angeles.

Meh. Cambodians will fall for anything on facebook. He can have his jingoistic clamouring for fame, just thought it odd that it appears to have nothing at all to do with Thailand besides being posted in a Thai facebook group.

That's a bit nasty and unwarranted. And I'm sure they speak highly of you.
