Khmer Prasat Preah Vihear temple sits atop the Dangrek
escarpment. Colonial France and French geographers had found the physical
features provided by the Dangrek Range a convenient natural boundary marker in
territorial settlement between "French Indochina" and Siam, and
although both the temple and the Range have come to denote the frontier
dividing two nations in modern time, their historical significance might have
rested with the centrality of the geography as mid-point and centre or heart of
the vast Khmer Empire. The Temple's long
north-south axis construction perching atop the narrow cliff - unlike most
Khmer temples built in a rectangular mode and facing east - affording a
hemispheric overview of the great plains/plateaus immediately to either side of
the Range also alludes to, or perhaps, underscores the structure's strategic
significance as the Empire's guarding post and watch tower - School of Vice

Some of us live far from home, but we love more and more our beloved country Cambodia.
In cambodia, singer can sings song about border with thailand, BUT not border with vietcong.
That aerial view of Preah Vihear really made Khmer homesick.
It is so beautiful !!
Koh Trol is also so beautiful. Why did Ah Changrai Yor Hun Sen ratify it as Youn's island? Ah Roleuy !!
That picture evokes our country's glory time.

Yes, but now it is the right time for the next generations of Khmer descents to protect, rebuild, renovate, reclaim our heritages and our territorial.
I am from California.I am so lucky to visit this Temple on May 2012.It's so exciting to see on my own eye.We,the khmer people,have to protect this heritage in our territorial.The Thais thief keep their eye on this Temple like a hungry tiger.I didn't see UNICEF do anything to protect and preserve this temple yet.
ថ្ងៃអាទិត្យមុនខ្ញុំបានជួបទេសចរណ៍ជនជាតិបារាំងម្នាក់ លោកបានសំណេះសំណាលលេងជាមួយខ្ញុំមួយសន្ធុះក្នុងបរិយាកាសយ៉ាងរីករាយ ។
ប៉ុន្តែពេលដែលលោកបារាំងជំរាបលាខ្ញុំ គាត់បាននិយាយពាក្យមួយឃ្លាដែលធ្វើខ្ញុំគាំងមាត់រកនិយាយមិនចេញ គាត់ថា ះ
" បារាំងខំប្តូរញើសឈាម ទាមទារយកអង្គរពីសៀម ប្រគល់ឲខ្មែរវិញ ឥឡូវនេះខ្មែរបានប្រគល់ឲទៅយួន (សុខ គង់វរ្ម័ន ) កាន់កាប់
ដោយស្រួល " ។ Angkor Air is belonged to YUON and so is Angkor Wat ?
At this point we are the loser,
I would rather lose the preah vihea temple, but not the whole Cambodia that is now being swallowed by Viet without being realized by many Khmer.
Viet is now everywhere and at every level in Cambodia.
They speak , they look, they do things just like us but they think differently, they are viet and they will put you down just like in Kampuchea Krowm.
