After causing a stir in Cambodia with his erotic and sensual Apsara drawings, artist Reahu has now caused a stir in Thailand with his bare-breasted drawing of Thai actress Suwanan Kongying.
Actress Suwanan Kongying, better known in Cambodia as Neang Pkay Preuk (Miss Morning Star) had caused riots in Phnom Penh in 2003 when she allegedly claimed that Angkor Wat belongs to Thailand. She denied making the remarks.
When shown the bare-breasted drawing featuring her face by Thai reporters on 20th February, Ms Suwanan said “they have cut the picture of my face and pasted it on the drawing.”
Thai newspaper Khav Soot published in its 24th? February 2009 edition that this particular drawing by a Khmer-American artist, posted in Reahu.net, has been very popular with Thai internet users because it featured the face of actress Suwanan Kongying.
Ms Suwanan said that she won’t pay attention to this sort of drawing because she considered it as a satire. She also said that she won’t take any actions against the artist in question. She added that she does not want to do anything that will cause troubles again and she thanked the artist for showing interests in her.
In late 2008, artist Reahu has caused a stir in Cambodia with his many erotic and sensual bare-breasted Apsara drawings. Currently, his website Reahu.net has been blocked in Cambodia under the order of the Ministry of Culture.

What is the artist's intention? I see it as an insult to Khmer culture.
A beautiful piece of art works. she has a cute face.
Has KI-Media decided to become a source of pornography?
Should that even be a question, 4:36? Everyone knows what pouk Ah Scam Rainxy is all about.
The artist should use un-Cambodian high-ranking officials' wives to add more flavor to the culture of corruption.
I agree. Reahu should draw Hun Sen's wife naked or bare-breasted since she is an evil person who ordered the killing of Pisith Pilika in 1999,
Reahu, Don't forget to draw the face of Ing Kagnabaphy with her breast for her stupid idea to close your website.
Also as said by 5:16PM.
We need to see Hun Sen's head with a female rotten-female body.
hun sen's wife is a ugly whore.. it would be horrifying to see her naked
Reahu, that is fantastic! It is not about the face, breast and body of the lady, but it is very artistic, and of course about art. You are such a admirable and proud of. It has been very rare to have a Khmer to be able to produce such a thing. Just keep up your work, my friend! You will be a history in the Khmer art community.
In an artistic point of wiew,That a good drawing.
Hope Reahu net will soon draw a good picture of OUK PHALLA.
What about Michelle Abama?
Now is the time to test your expression of freedom of speech (in the U.S.).
You guy don't fuck with my government ok.If you want the same picture draw your mom first ok.
Hi bong 7:19 PM, nice to see you again. I know you.
Can I let photos of yr younger sister to Reahu?
He is an artist? And we all know that all those Apsara is naked "topless" as well. That's already meant to be. He is doing his job. So, leave him alone. If he posts this scene to an under-age folks then there is a problem.
But you all know this already. Apsara is topless. If you can't see this. Don't go to Angkor Wat!!!!
Khmer PP,
Hey Yankee 7:19pm, getting cross hah...? That's the freedom of speech. Why others cannot fuck with yours while you do with theirs? Too proud to be American, and so are they. We are the same human being. You have been grown up there, and the others grown up here, in Cambodia, where survived by daily basis. And you gotta believe that we are and will be proud to be Khmer forever.

C'est ça etre pudique et si on veut défendre << VAPATHOR KHMER>>
I don't see Apsaras posted in a seduction mode on Angkorwat like this one does. This is a whore apsara!
Her breasts are so small. I ever watched Video Clip of Suwanan Kungying. If someone want to watch this clip, you can download on webbit
Hi EVERYONE,
REAHU DID NOT DRAW ALL OF THESE FACES. MOST OF HIS WORKS ARE CUT AND PASTE FROM REAL PHOTOS BY USING COMPUTER GRAPHIC PROGRAM LIKE PHOTOSHOP. THEY ARE NOT PAINTING OR DRAWING.
YES, IT IS ONE KIND OF ARTS BUT IT IS SAD THAT HE USES PEOPLE FACES WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION.
At least she is more famous!!!
It think Reahu is trouble maker. I used to admire your arts but after I see what you are doing is just not right. It is Reahu is the problem who is stirring this problem to increase his publicity so he can sell more of this arts. Some of you fool, if takes second to think about it, would realize the intention of Reahu. After all he is contributing to the building of the nation.
Reahu is a person. He made real khmer look bad.
If you voted for CPP (Cambodian People's Party):
Also known as:
Communist People's Party
Khmer Rouge People's Party
Khmer Krorhorm People's Party
You're support the killing of 1.7 million Khmer peoples.
You're support the killing of innocent men, women and children in Cambodia on March 30, 1997.
You're support murder of Piseth Pilika.
You're support assassination of journalists in Cambodia.
You're support political assassination and killing.
You're support attemted assassination and murder of leader of the free trade union in Cambodia.
You're support corruption in Cambodia.
You're support Hun Sen Regime burn poor people's house down to the ground and leave them homeless.
These are the Trade Mark of Hun Sen Regime.
Hun Sen, Chea Sim and Heng Samrin are Khmer Rouge commanders.
When is the ECCC going to bring these three criminals to U.N. Khmer Rouge Trail?
Khmer Rouge Regime is a genocide organization.
Hun Sen Regime is a terrorist organization.
Hun Sen Bodyguards is a terrorist organization.
Hun Sen Death Squad is a terrorist organization.
Cambodian People's Party is a terrorist organization.
I have declare the current Cambodian government which is lead by the Cambodian People's Party as a terrorist organization.
Whoever do business with the current Cambodian government are associate with a terrorist organization.
remember this bitch was being brain-washed to think that everything in cambodia belonged to thailand. i have no doubt that the grade schools she once attended in thailand had taught this innocent child that! what a shame for this crazy, transexual she-bitch that happened to be siem by birth!
I think the Thais movie star has made good stand for herself not to create problem. But while I am supporting art, I must remind Reahu that he has expanded his art outside his boundery by cooporating his art to a real person portrait such as the THais movie star. He risk himself for a lawsuite for defamation. Free speches and free expression has it boundery when you are extending to a private life. You can make free speech with Politician but not for movie star, singer star or business people.Their income may have affected by your action and that is damaged by your action. For that damage you need to pay for that. We must also remember that singer star and movie income are very unlimited. They have a lot of potential. Therefore you need to ba carefull for your free speeches and free expression. Areak Prey
Nice drawing by Reahu. Smart move too to gain maximum publicity so he can sell more drawings. I love her cute face.
3:47 AM i agree with you!
Reahu, numero uno!
Reahu, I think you are stupid man. That is why she claimed Angkor is belong to Thai because her naked picture next to Angkor's wall.
Yes, why Thai's actress? and the trouble maker one too? or do you mean Thai's women is now Cambodianized? My guess is that you want to be famous beyond Cambodia and all the beautiful women in the world can be our heavenly Apsarah at any moment notice. Hey! that's so cool!
My greatest fantacy is seeing Ms. Angelina Jolie wearing Apsarah costume and be posted at the heart of Angkor Wat or better, yet at the palace. That would be so wonderful!, but she is too futurist and that is sad.
Bet all the men in Thailand is now loging on to Reahu.net.
Chumteav Hem-hoach Kantha Phavy is Svay-paak minister.
Reahu is a fake and a wannabe...
There is nothing wrong with the beauty of a woman but when it come to Apsara and nudity is something very wrong. If you want to know if Apsara is nude or not you need to pick up some book and study about the costume. There is no such thing is topless Apsara.
Oh shut the fuck up, Ah Pimp (12:07). We all know what you are trying to do, but don't hold your breath, motherfucker.
Reahu, please go for the kill: have all the high-ranking officials' wives, including the prime minister's wife, photos in your next beautiful art work. You have my blessings.
come on folks give Reahu a break. he's only trying to make a living by being controversial. is that his cash register ringing that i hear? his work is artsy, not art.
Reahu has a very creative mind and good imagination. Many of his drawings, considered obscene by some, are fantastic. Apsaras have been depicted topless on the walls of Angkor Wat. This drawing of Miss Suwanan is great. Her face is so cute.
from 8:48am and she doesn't need to be a topless Apsara, unless it will be posted in Brad Pitt's bedroom. Wow & Voila Jolie!
