The offending picture17 May 2010
DAP news
Translated from Khmer by Socheata
Siem Reap province - On 16 May 2010, a group of Siamese staying at the Sofitel Phokeetra Golf and Spa Resort placed a picture of Cambodia’s Angkor Wat in front of the bathroom next to the foot mat.
Chhuon Rithy, the union president for the Sofitel resort, told DAP at 10AM that on Sunday, a group of Cambodian workers at the hotel opposed the placement of this picture because they believe that this is tantamount to looking down on Angkor Wat temple which represents Cambodia. He added that the Siamese refused to take the picture out, claiming that what they did was for greeting guests, not to look down [on Angkor Wat]. However, because of the displeasure and the opposition of the Cambodian workers, the Siamese finally removed the picture out art 3:30PM.
Chhuon Rithy indicated that the hotel owner, who is also a Siamese, rather than scolding his Siamese people, turned around and scolded the Cambodian employees who work there, saying that they did not administer properly. At the time of the scolding, the Siamese visitors were still staying at this hotel in Siem Reap.

FUCK THAILAND...KILLE THOSE FUCKING SIEMS...I WAS LEAVING IN SIEM REAP , I WOULD FIND OUT WHAT HOTEL IS THAT AND BURN IT DOWN......FUCKING DUMB SIEMS!!!
Thai people are arrogant and no-well-informed race. They are sore losers.
Nothing to worry about that....it a piece of wood, I dun think this meant to insult. Because Angkor is eye catching and art.
why arn't MR sacrava draw somthing bad about thai king like siemes do to angkor? his cartoon mean more then 100 of our common toward siem or maybe he already sold his head to siem?
It's like burning American flag in America. They need to go to jail. F*ignorant people. Go back to your * hell burning country in thailand and do business there! Don't you ever come back.mf
Thai barbarian always look down Khmer national pride but they don't mind using Khmer numerals to write on their Thai national bank currency.
Easy to counter that just put the Thai King's picture where it is see what the Thai reaction would be?
But then again should we go that low?
I agreed with 6:42PM, but I don't agree with we should go that low.
They treat us low everyday already. So we keep them low as well by placing their king picture and step on it every Cambodia restroom.
Then boycott that Siemese hotel.
OMG, Why not? Angko What is our ancestor's toilet, we pee and shit there and Khmers came in and worship it, lol
That is the example of the Thai insensitivity/arrogant to the people of where they do their business. I wonder if we place a picture of their Thai king in front of my guest house's bathroom and welcome. How would they feel...
Everyone is overreacted to the situation.
The Khmers are always jumping up and down in full anger, but only for a short time. I bet in the next few days, those same Khmers will keep buying siamese goods, listen siamese karaoke videos, movies, music, etc..
They will never learn from past errors.
This is anti-thai sh** stirring propaganda. They love angkor as much as the khmer they even have a model in the thai royal palace 'siam' 'siem' and they've also removed it since people have expressed their feelings. let it go
Do not blame the Hotel owner, blame Cambodian Gevernment, too much scam. That why the foreigner take opportunity to oppress Khmer and insult without any reason. Wake-Khmer!
"FUCK THAILAND...KILLE THOSE FUCKING SIEMS...I WAS LEAVING IN SIEM REAP , I WOULD FIND OUT WHAT HOTEL IS THAT AND BURN IT DOWN......FUCKING DUMB SIEMS!!!
2:53 PM"
2:53 below is the name of the place if you not a lier son od a bitch!!!!
Sofitel Phokeetra Golf and Spa Resort
And don't try to boycut it business because you are so poor to afford it in the first place!
Guys, the best way to solve this case is to find good solution. first Thailand must solve their own problem, such as RED and YELLOW.
Second, Khmer must stop Scam on their own people. If both countries can do that then the people will live in Peace no one to be blame!

Thais have no cultural origin and heritage. They wish to take over Angkor for so many generations, that is why they made a miniture of Angkor in Bangkok.
This is indicating their greed and NOT their love of Angkor.
Please read the history for your knowledge, rather than just express your ignorant comment.
You would get kicked and punished if you show any insult intentionally or unintensionally in Thailand.

Relax you guys.
Angkor Wat is an exceptional monument with superb arts carving. Don't make it more than it is. We need to put our Khmer pride in proper perspective.
I just don't see how one can feel insulted by having a model made of this monument, even if it is steped on. Over reaction to this give our neighbors, Youn and Thais, more excuse to look down on Khmer.
So relax.
AYE 12:59........IF!!!!!! IF I WAS LIVING IN SIEM REAP MOTHERFUCKER ....CANT YOU SEE I FORGOT TO PUT THE WORD IF BEFORE----I WAS LIVING IN SIEM REAP...I WOULD BURN THE HOTEL DOWN....YOU STUPID FUCK!!!
