Siem Reap: Three foreigners arrested for taking off clothes

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.

Nobody has been accused of having sex at Angkor. Your point is invalid.

I just respond to vlad. If my point is invalid, then vlad's point is invalid either.

I didn't advocate sex, I was talking about nudity. Apsaras are topless. I'm talking about Angkor Wat, not about some site in India. If everything about Angkor is to be admired, then don't cherry-pick. If you can't see the irony, I don't know.

There are plenty of naked cherubs in some Christian churches, yet I don't hear that being used as an excuse for getting naked in one.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

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

Little salary, there is no point to debate as you can't change people habit and culture. Let them alone if they want to be naked or whatever. However, we have fully rights to catch them if they are doing something wrong in our country the same way they would do the same for us if we are making mistake in their countries.

I wonder if you ever have heard of FKK in Germany? Note don't use our culture as a standard to judge other.

No. We are the ones that have to adapt. If you find anybody naked in an Angkorian, or any other, temple then please kick them out.

The thread has developed to questioning the Khmer logic behind banning the nudity. Nobody here is advocating public nudity, and I haven't seen anybody defending the nudist tourists. It's simply being pointed out that it's ironic that nudity is banned from a site where nudity has literally been carved in stone. vladimir is right, the titties of Angkor are no secret. But I highly doubt that he would go there topless himself even if he could.
