A new attraction will be added to Cambodia's famous World Heritage site Angkor Wat: a light & sound extravaganza.

The grand show, dubbed "The Legend of Angkor Wat: When History Comes to Life", will feature over 150 stage performers, a 12x30-metre waterscreen and a variety of special effects. Designed to give audience a more vivid picture of the past glory of the ancient Khmer Kingdom as well as the beliefs and lifestyles of its people, the show will take place daily from November 24 to January 20, 2008, on the lawns behind Angkor Wat (its east side).

According to Bayon CM Organizer, a Cambodian-Thai joint venture that runs the show, there will be no use of explosives for special effects as that can harm the World Heritage site. The performace, both its content and operation, has reportedly been approved by Apsara Authority, the agency that oversees the protection and management of Angkor and other historical sites in Siem Reap.

Tickets for the one-hour show are priced at US$60 and 80 - the latter, if it's not for the front-row seats, will include an international buffet dinner at 7pm, an hour before the show starts.

This particular show will also be included in tour packages offered by Diethelm Travel and its partner hotels such as the Angkor Palace Resort & Spa and Le Meridien Angkor.

All true Khmer Compatriots, ladies and gentlemen,

Except in India, who can build the magnficent temple like that? China? Thai? or YUONS?

So please all true Khmers stand up and united to liberate our glorious civilisations from YUON's occupation and China influence as soon as possible.

Who can lead the people power revolution in Cambodia?

Shut up mother fucker! Your country Cambodia has so much corruption and yet there is no anti-corruption law! Your country Cambodia claimed to have law and order and yet nobody respect the law and order! And who the fuck wants to go to Cambodia to do business? All of your mother fucker always do thing along party line to get anything done!

You mother fucker "need a lot of human resource" and tell me how much are you going to pay these human who want to work for you? The fucken salary of $30, $40, $50...or even $800 a month can't even support my life style! I am not going to tell how much I make just to maintain my life style! I am not desperate to be your slave worker!

You go ahead thank the Thaicong and the Vietcong for helping you because they help themselves more than they help you and you know that! I can careless if you take something from dirt poor Cambodia and share with the poorer friendly country but you are taking something from dirt poor Cambodia and share with the enemy whose country are richer and more powerful than Cambodia many times over! Do you see how twisted your fucken logic is! Who are you trying to impress?

How stupid can people get when they have something very valuable in their hand and they don't even know what to do with it and they waited for the enemy to come in and start telling them (a mother fucker like you what to do)! This is such a real tragedy for Cambodia when a fool like you don't understand the unintended consequence from your action and decision!

The real Khmer is not stupid like you!

Khmer is not determined by word, skin race or face, but by head. Some chinese face-look-like people are really khmer coz they love their countries than those khmer face-look people. Now cambodia is in peace. we dont demand you oversea khmers to come back here and work for 30 40$..etc. We know you are richer there, so please contribute your saving to invest in Cambodia to provide job and economic growth opprotunity in Cambodia. In Vietnam, many american vietnameses return back home to build hotels and resorts.

If those foreigners (thai and vietnamese, korean chinese..etc) can make business in Cambodia with huge profit, why you american khmer cant compete with them?

Let think about it wisely.

I went back for a visit a year ago, corruption started at Pochentong airport. On my return, it ended where it started, Pochentong airport. Is this the right environment?

My brother-in-law had his land taken by his childhood friend who hardly read or write khmer then became the Colonel of the Royal Arm Force by way of marrying the daughter of a General in Phnom Penh.

In the past I had done some goodwill works, not a penny gained from it, and learned quite a bit too. We have a problems. I walked away from doing anything anymore. I felt bad, not for myself but for those who need help.

Hope all of you insiders clean up the messes to create good environment and promote incentive/encouragement for such things to happen. It has to start from bottom up and inside out. You can't build a castle on a sandy soil.

May God bless our Nation.

Please don't confuse about the foreigners way of dealing with Cambodia! The foreigners used their government to deal with Cambodia which has more clout than any Cambodian from oversea!

The Cambodian government never views Cambodian oversea as an asset but as something to be used and prey upon for their benefit!

Khmer people don't need to give more ground to the Thaicong and the Vietcong! Khmer people should never and ever allow themselves to let go of who they are as a human with dignity and they must be vigilant at all time of their neighbors’ evil intention!

Cambodia as a country has an option to deal with their evil warmongers blood thirsty neighbors individually according to international law!

This is not a good time to preach peace and adopting Buddhist mentality to appease Cambodian belligerent neighbors and Khmer people must stand strong and look far into the future unless they want to repeat the same fucken sad history and continue to play the role of a victim!

By the way only weak and hopeless people would allow themselves to let go in life! Now you know why some people became addicted to alcohol, smoking, and gambling and drug…because they let themselves go and allow the situation or problem to control their life!
