Another Cambodia-Thailand's Cultural Matter Dispute
Re: Another Cambodia-Thailand's Cultural Matter Dispute
who is that dopmoto, sound like someone's sock-puppet. BTW, Being a Cambodian, of course i am concerning about it. No doubt, i wouldn't want Unesco to recognize it as it was originated from Thailand. Everyone knew history know that it is originated from Cambodia. It was found even before Thailand became a country. Also, not to mention, it is true that Thailand stole our culture. If you are speaking to an educated Thai, she or he would agree on that.

Re: Another Cambodia-Thailand's Cultural Matter Dispute
When did Thailand become a country? This is like NZ and Australia arguing over the pavlova isn't it.
Re: Another Cambodia-Thailand's Cultural Matter Dispute
Thailand became a country in 13 century which was after the Angkor Wat was built. If they still claimed that Angkor Want is belong to them. I would ask them to STFU. If they didn't invade us when we became weak, they would never ever take over Angkor Wat. Kudos to French Colony though.willyhilly wrote:When did Thailand become a country?

Thailand’s Masked Dance Plans Lead to Online Outcry
by Phan Soumy | June 6, 2016
As nationalist fervor spread among social media users over plans by Thailand to list “khon” masked dance—seen by many as being a Cambodian tradition—on Unesco’s heritage list, Prime Minister HE stepped into the fray on Sunday.
In a post to his Facebook page, the prime minister offered his assurances that Cambodia was also working to have Lakhaon Kaol, the Cambodian equivalent, listed by Unesco.

- , unlike what some Facebook users have said accusing the government of not paying attention,” he said.
Ministry spokesman Thai Noraksathya said Cambodia had already begun preparing its paperwork, and had a leg up on Thailand, which is not yet a “state party” to the World Heritage Convention.

samouth thai stole more cultures than you think.
the whole culture of thailand is just bits and pieces of other cultures.
Re: Another Cambodia-Thailand's Cultural Matter Dispute
We can say the same about Cambodian culture too. It's time for Cambodians to finally recognize that they owe a lot of their cultural richness to the Thais. Of course this will probably never happen because Cambodians think they created everything.dopmoto wrote:Samouth wrote:who is that dopmoto, sound like someone's sock-puppet.

I am surprised that the Thais even want to associate with UNESCO now after they approved the Royal Ballet of Cambodia as a "unique" cultural heritage. Because the Thais know all along that RBoC is a hack, a poorer imitation of Thai dance (this is well researched and backed up by their academics and Japanese and a European). UNESCO probably allowed it because they thought, oh, poor Cambodia...

Re: Another Cambodia-Thailand's Cultural Matter Dispute
A few late 19th century photos don't prove anything. The dance most likely originated here, was taken to Thailand, adapted and eventually returned in a changed form. The Cambodian and Thai courts were very close at various periods in the 17th-19th centuries and denying that there were influences going both ways is silly.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Let's look at music. Sin Sisamouth utilized a lot of of classical dance tunes in his songs. He based them on music he learned from being a singer in the royal ballet. The Royal Ballet of Cambodia uses music from 19th century compositions that are attributed to Thai authors. Some other ones that are not attributed are claimed to be from Ayuthaya period and appear to have been based on other cultures. Some are parodies of Chinese or Burmese tunes for example. As a nation, Cambodians did not have diplomatic or cultural relations with the Burmese, if anything, it would be rare. One famous tune that exists, what we call "Chao Dok" , is based of a Burmese tune. Other examples of Burmese tunes that work it's way into Cambodian culture via the Thai is a famous song called "Mak Theurng" about a couple in the market selling perfume and stuff. The name is not even Khmer.
This is just one facet of Cambodian culture which shows Thai influence. There are many, many, other examples that can be said.

Re: Another Cambodia-Thailand's Cultural Matter Dispute
Interesting opinion in the bangkok post yesterday;
Akarapong Khmamkook, an academic from the international college at Thammasat University said,
"both countries actually inherited the original performing art from India before modifying it to suit their own tastes, Both countries should open their minds and face the fact that culture can be transferred from place to place, can be modified and can die."
He stated , "It is immature to debate who owns the ancient art"
