The sales of sandals bearing the picture of Angkor Wat on the soles in markets in Vietnam led to an uproar in Cambodia which considers these shoes as an insult on Cambodian renown.
Kem Sokha’s Human Rights Party issued a statement on 21 January regarding the production and the sales of sandals bearing the picture of Angkor Wat. The HRP stated: “ The HRP received an extremely shameful and hurtful information when we saw the picture of Angkor Wat – which represents Cambodia’s soul, our national heritage – printed on the soles of sandals sold all over the place at the Bavet market, Svay rieng province.”
“The HRP considers this as a new action taken by the shoe company to hurt Cambodian renown, and to look down on the current Cambodian government, this is a violation of the Cambodian culture and customs. The HRP strongly condemns this shoe company and asks that the Cambodian government, and in particular, the Svay Rieng province authority, to conduct its search and investigate immediately to find out which country this company produced their sandals at, in order to take appropriate measures to stop their productions, and to demand a public apology, as well as levying a fine to pay for compensation to the Cambodian people.”
The department of information in the province of Svay Rieng also conducted its investigation on the sales of these sandals in the Vietnamese province bordering with Cambodia. Based on the information provided to the Ministry of Information on 21 January, Kep Samoeun, the director of the Svay Rieng province department of information, indicated that based on an investigation performed by Chhouk Bandit, the Chantrea district governor, and by Prach Rim, the provincial police commissioner, these sandals are sold at a store located inside the Go Dau market, in the Ben Cau district, Tay Ninh province, Vietnam.
The Vietnamese police commissioner of the Tay Ninh province, the police authority in the Tay Ninh province, and the Ben Cau district police authority, indicated that the Vietnamese sandals seller at the Go Dau market claimed that he bought them from Cambodians who took them across the border from Svay Rieng province to sell in Vietnam, and every week, the stock of shoes was re-supplied. The Svay Rieng police force and the Tay Ninh police force bought all the sandals from the merchant and brought them over to the Svay Rieng police station.
The Vietnamese Tay Ninh provincial police authority and the Ben Cau district police force are still looking for sellers of these sandals in the Go Dau market. In every market in Svay Rieng province, no sandals bearing the Angkor Wat picture are being sold. The director of the Svay Rieng information department said that the provincial police department suspects that these shoes came from Thailand.

When did Angkor Wat belong to Thailane? The Khmer inscriptions on Angkor Wat don't even look like the Thaicong inscriptions!
If think that Khmer people are upset than you would see the Thaicong embassy go up in flame but the fact is you don't!
The Thaicong want everything that Cambodia has including Phrea Vihea and now Angkor Wat? If the Thaicong want Angkor Wat and they needs to cross the border!
By the way the Vietcong want everything that Cambodia has just like the Thaicong and they even cross the border in 1979 but after 10 years and they regret it that they crossed the border!
I think your mother gave Angkor Wat to the Thaicong when she spread her legs! Ahahahhahh!
THAT'S TOO BAD THAT THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY HAD TO BEG TO SHELTER FOR THESE POOR KHMER TO TEMPORATORY LIVE ON THE THAI SOIL WHILE YOU WERE WAITING TO BE TRANSFER ELSEWHERE.
WITHOUT US, YOU WILL BE NOTHING BUT STILL A SLUM COUNTRY.
PREAH VIHEAR AND ANGKOR WAT ARE THAILAND, AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. THIS IS UNDENIABLE FACT.
IN THE MEANTIME, WE'LL LET YOU AND THE REST OF KHMER REPAIR THE RUINED PREAH VIHEAR AND ANGKOR WAT, AND WHEN THEY ARE DONE WITH THEM, WE'LL TAKE THEM BACK. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS, YOU KOUN KHMER?
REMEMBER THAT PREAH VIHEAR AND ANGKOR WAT ARE BELONG TO OUR ANCESTOR THAILAND.

The government must step in to find the real culprit of this arrogant behavor. We must find the source of this cowardly act. This is why we can never find peace in this region.
Lets all get naked and sleep together to make peace and new generation of mixed khmerlaosvietsthai.
Please Vote Sam Dach Te Cho Hun Sen for 2008.and after that Hok Lundy for 2013.
This is so stupid. This is like free advertisement but people are pissed just because the Vietnamese put Angkor Wat on a sandal?
I just don't understand why all of you love to fight each other over ANGKOR.To me as long as i have big ,round,tight white butt with me every night ,i wouldn't care about the world.After all life is so short.
From what I heard, there are plenty of fags in Thailand, even their king is fag who sucks American and English dicks all the time. Thats how their country got modernized, Americans love asian assholes and the king of thailand loves American and European dicks. Just look at the documentries on tv about the sex tourism in thailand. And also I heard the Thais had the Europeans fucked their kings assholes and turn the thai males to fags like we see today so they shut Westerners mouths about the secret documents they and the Khmer have about the past.
If all of the Angkor ruins in Southeast Asia belongs to Thailand and Thailand was responsible of building it, than why in the Thai Royal Chronicles dated the Christian year 1290 A.D. the birth of the Thai state Sukhothai granted by the Khmer king. Second, why are there thousands of records and accounts of a Thai migration from what is today China's Yunnan province as the Thai kingdom of Nanchoa. Third in the Thai chronicles they recorded and recognized the Khmer capitol of Angkor being seiged in the 14th century and 15th century. Also the chinese spy Chao Ta Kuon records and clear observation evidence of the Khmer states and the capitol of Angkor and the battles between Angkor and Ayuttaya. Last but not least, prestige Scholars of France, Germany, America, Australia, China, Japan, Malaysia, Italy, and even Thai scholars acknowledge the Khmer history of Angkor dating back the 1st century A.D. and it's empire. How do explain those empirical evidence 6:40?
Leave the Thai alone. The Viet tries to accuse the Thai of producing these sandals. If it was sold in Vietnam, whose else made it? Only Vietnam made these look-a-like communist sandals. The Viet tries to frame others for their bad behavior. Please read this article regarding the US plans to deport the illegal Vietnamese in the US back to Hanoi. But, they'll turn up in Cambodia for sure.
HANOI, Vietnam - Thousands of Vietnamese living illegally in the United States now face deportation after the two countries completed an agreement Tuesday following a decade of work on the pact, a U.S. official said.

Vietnamese who entered the U.S. illegally after the former foes normalized relations in 1995 could now be forced to return to their birth country, said Julie Myers, director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
About 6,200 Vietnamese were given final deportation orders before the agreement's completion, and 1,500 more are involved in proceedings to eventually be sent home, Myers said during a visit to Vietnam.
She did not say how many Vietnamese are believed to be living illegally in the United States.
The repatriation agreement provides steps for the U.S. to deport the Southeast Asian country's citizens who lack required documents, and for Vietnam to receive them.
The deal has been under negotiation for 10 years. Vietnam had previously been reluctant to accept citizens back.
"Vietnam has actually been a country that has been problematic for a long time, and this agreement we believe marks a new step toward making this process move more smoothly," Myers told The Associated Press.
More than 1.5 million overseas Vietnamese — the largest population outside Vietnam — live in the United States. Many fled their native country in boats after the Vietnam War ended in 1975 and northern communist forces took control of the former South Vietnam, which the U.S. had backed.

To 6:40PM
The reason the Thaicong government allowed Cambodian refugee to settle along the Thaicong-Cambodian border was out of fear of the Vietcong army!
In the 1980, the Vietcong even invaded Thailane and they were able to capture the Thaicong territories and occupied it for 3 months!
The Thaicong can't even control their own civil war in Southern Thailand and now they want to take on Cambodia? This will be the suicidal for the Thaicong for sure!
The Thaicong army couldn't even last more than a year in Iraq and now they bragged that they can take Phrea Vihear and Angkor Wat? Ahahahha
The Thaicong need to stop all their wishful thinking because this the 21st century and it will be a new kind of war! It is kind of funny to see those Thaicong Asian monkey army dressed up in Uncle Sam military uniform and looking all tough but when the tough get going and they start running from Iraq and leave Uncle SAM behind! Ahhahahhahhahah
