banteay chhmar in northern cambodia is one of the major khmer ancient temple complex that needs unesco recognition as world heritage site. i think once unesco is registering it to be such site, preservation can take place, and we will be able to see the magnificent temple complex come back and appreciate its significance.
Let see if Ah Thai (Siem) react. Thai should know all temples in Thailand formerly were Khmer territory.

Great!!!
As I know, in around year 2000, thousands ton of sculptures on the wall of the temple were destroyed and smuggled to Thailand.
I FEEL REGRET ON THIS MATTER.
THE GOVERNMENT DID NOT TAKE ANY ACTION AGAINST A GUILTY, ALTHOUGH IT GOT A REPORT FROM THE PROVINCIAL TOURISM OFFICIAL.
I AM DELIGHTED TO HEAR THAT THE TEMPLE WILL BE REGISTERED AS A WORLD HERITAGE IN THE FUTURE.
What about Prasat Ta Moan Thom and Ta Moun Touch? we should submit an applications in for these Temples also!
correction = Ta Moan Touch
I am glad that Khmer soldier teach Ah Chor Siamese some lessons on April/03/09, Siamese-black clads soldiers used to look down, mocking, abusing on poor khmer people that looks for work in their country, they are animals! they never considered us as one of their....but we don't care!! if you don't respects us! we will kick your fucken ass!!
K.I.D refugee camp 1980, alot of people were shot, rape, beaten by Thai-black clad soldiers, these Thai soldier bastard deserved their ass kick from khmer soldier on the last fighting! i used to hated these Thai soldiers that spoke broken khmer languages, they are fucken rudness, if there is another fight erupt, i hope khmer soldiers don't show any mercy to these fucken animals! just blew them up with BM22 ROCKETS and 155MM artillery....
ខ្មែរទាំងក្នុងប្រទេសត្រូវតែដឹងថាពួកអាសៀមវា
សាហាវជាងយួនទៅទៀតវាបានសម្លាប់ពលរដ្ធខ្មែរ
នៅតាមជុំរំដោយការចាប់រំលោបមនុស្សីហើយបាន
បាញ់សម្លាប់ប្រជាជនខ្មែរស្ទើរតែរាប់ពុំអស់ទេនៅ
ក្នុងអម្លុងឆ្នាំ១៩៧៩ទៅទល់ឆ្នាំ១៩៨៤។ពួកវានេះ
មិនដែលគិតថាជួយពលរដ្ធខ្មែរទេវាសាហាវជាង
យួនទៅទៀត។
No No, on behalf of Siam may I suggest to Unesco, 1st to change the name of Banteay Chmar to Banteay Kmoch Siam temple.....(Temple of Siams Ghost).....
Banteteay Kmoch Siam is the temple constructed by Siams in -12th century..
