Latest-Latest Cultural Knickers-in-a-Twist Thing
Short-shorts, books, now sculptures on private property. Good to see that moral and cultural values are being upheld in the Kingdom.
"Phnom Penh: The Director of Kampong Cham Provincial Department of Culture and Fine Arts has reportedly ordered the owner of Smao Tonle Restaurant in Village 2, Sangkat Veal Vong, Kampong Cham City to immediately dismantle the artificial statue of Nokor Bachey Tower within 3 days.
The director of the Department of Culture and Fine Arts of Kampong Cham province said that the artificial statue of Nokor Bachey (also known as Banteay Prei Nokor) tower displayed at Smao Tonle restaurant is different from the original style. The tower of Nokor Bachey temple in the business has been replicated, but split into two parts.

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
I thought it was just a poor rip off of Pura Luhur Lempuyang in Bali.
If they are getting upset about temple replicas they'll explode when they hear of Angkor Putt

The name was The Peak Hotel Casino
Considering the dozen of buildings the new Chinese owner have built on the property, very little chances the model survived

Chez Claude, the hill on which it sat has literally vanished.
Candi bentar, or split gateway, is a classical Javanese and Balinese gateway entrance commonly found at the entrance of religious compounds, kraton palaces, or cemeteries.[1] It is basically a candi-like structure split perfectly in two to create a passage in the center for people to walk through. The passage is usually elevated with a flight of stairs to reach it. A candi bentar is commonly found in Java, Bali, and Lombok.

The KT are rolling out more bollocks.
A less frothing at the mouth news piece
The videoVannak told Khmer Times on Monday his feelings about the embassy’s choice of location: “What are your real intentions? You’ve taken the song of the king of the golden voice, Sinn Sisamouth, the beautiful Khmer, and mixed it with a pile of rubbish.”
“The Khmer people have had many great civilisations, more than some nations. You should not be deceived by the idea of garbage. This (video) does not make us proud of the heritage of our Khmer ancestors,” he said.
“Cambodia is vast and rich in wonderful cultural treasures. If you do not want to shoot at Angkor Wat, there are many good locations such as modern cities or landscapes along the river, the sea or even the countryside of Cambodia that is now very beautiful,” said Vannak.
The embassy said the video was produced to celebrate the 89th anniversary of the Golden Voice Sinn Sisamouth.
It said that the remake of the song was produced and edited by Minor Act in collaboration with Phare Ponleu Selpak and funded by a US Embassy Public Affairs Section grant.

Even better, put it on rails and just push it together when the twisted knickers come to inspect, then separate it again when they go home. That’s normally how things work here.
