During a competition organized by India’s Gujarat State, a kite bearing the image of Angkor Wat temple won the first prize in its category.
Held between 10-14 January, this competition was participated by 31 countries from all over the world. About 100 Indian competitors from various states were joined by 82 other competitors from other countries.
According to Sim Sirak, the general director of the Administration and Finance Department of the ministry of Culture, five categories of kites were registered in the competition. One of the two Cambodian entries won first prize in the second category, and it bore an image of the Angkor Wat temple. The second kite bearing an image of an Apsara did not win, even though it won third prize in another competition in India also.

Way to go, Khmer!
See, you don't need any potato diggers to help to win anything. You can do it yourself or with your brother Thai or Viet.

kite flying hobby has a very long history in cambodia, in case one is not aware of it. it is one of cambodian rich cultural heritage.
What does Som Archsy and Kem Soakpee-kroy have in common? Use the poor guy Chea Vichea for their political stunt.
If Som Archsy and Kem Soakpee-kroy really want to find the murderer that killed Chea Vichea, they would do everything possible like hire private detector or try their best to look for this invidual merderer. These two scums just use this to publicise for their political gain. Go figure!
