The sunrise at Angkor Wat felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but next time we visit we'll probably get the 3-day pass in order to explore more of it because the complex is HUGE!!! Do you have any other temples or hidden spots that we or others should check out? Let us know below!!
Your sunrise pictures are really gorgeous! At Angkor Wat, did you see the only one apsara (out of almost 2 000 at Angkor Wat) who shows her teeth? I love those giant trees! My fave temples: Preah Khan, Ta Som, Banteay Kei, Ta Keo, Neak Pean (for its wooden bridge over swamp) and the other small temples like Thommanon.
I like Hanna’s temple pants. LOL. They looked very light and comfortable in such tropical climate, plus keeping the mosquitoes off the skin compared to wearing shorts.
@@mikewhocheeseharry5292 No, the reason remains a mystery. One guide said maybe it was a mistake. IMO, the maker wanted something different. Actually, they are all different in details (costumes, jewelry, hairstyle, gesture...) and are mostly smiling without showing teeth, so... :)
@@lirazel2001 fascinating. It’s hard to believe they would’ve made a mistake considering everything else was built with mathematical precision. If they carved the stones before it fully hardens, then they would had been able to fix it. I can’t wait to actually go see it. Hopefully soon.
I am from Thailand. I been to Angkor Wat in Aug 2024 i love it. Feel soooo deep in Southeast Asia history and the flow of cultures, beliefs, history, architecture and archeology🤍🤍🤍
Dears, this was originally a Hindu temple and later converted to Buddhist - but you spoke exactly the opposite. Rest of your video is amazing, thanks for sharing.
There's no better way to start a day than with a surprise probably lost video! I've always been fascinated with Angkor Wat. I think its so cool how you can actually explore the temple. This video was incredible! Keep up the great work! Y'all are the best!!
We’re so happy to hear you liked it Eric!!!! Angkor What’s been on our bucket list for a loooong time. It’s honestly the first thing we think of when we think of SE Asia. It’s such an extraordinary place & feels SO much older than it is. Thank you so much for taking time out of your morning to watch this one!!! It was definitely a lot different from our usual content, but we’re so excited for our next video that we had to post it this weekend!!🤣
My son gives tours of the temple and lives not far from it.He went 10 years ago fell in love with Cambodia came home for a while now 42 he has retired and returned having travelled all of Asia. He built houses for the poor with a charity met and fell in love with a family he is very happy there.
Thank you so much for your kind words!!!! We normally don't make videos like this, but we felt that it was so important for people to understand the meaning & history of the place, as well as highlighting its beauty. It truly lives up to the fame it has. Thank you so much again & thanks for watching our video!!!:)
Wow! Beautiful video. When I was living in Thailand I wanted to go and visit Angkor Wat but it was against recommendations for Americans to go there at that time due to unrest in that country, so thanks to you guys, I was still able to see this wonderful place. Can hardly wait for your next video, they are the best!
Eddy I'm SO glad to hear to you say this!!! This video SO different from our normal stuff & to say we were nervous about it is an understatement🤣 It was such a fun day of filming but man it made for a challenging edit LOL. Cambodia's seriously one of the coolest places we've been though. We have a couple of exploring videos as well as a video (similar to this one) on the Cambodian Killing Fields. It'll also be very different & similar to the Auschwitz video as well, but they're such important stories that need to be told ya know? We had the most incredible time in Cambodia & we definitely want to get back there at some point. Thank you so much for the kind words Eddy!!!!❤️
I think you should come to visit Cambodia as we are open and friendly to all. Cambodians are humble and gentle. Though we are not the top safe country in the world, safety here can be guaranteed for tourists. It is even better than some other countries in the region as we don’t have mafia, drug lords and people don’t have guns.
Omg Alan it got to the point there at the end of the day where we felt like we were just trying to survive rather than try to enjoy the place🤣 That's our biggest takeaway from it & we can't encourage people enough to also take time to explore it for themselves lol. Thank you so much for watching our video!!!
The best time to visit Angkor is between December to February but then you have to deal with the tour crowds. Angkor complexes are spreading in huge area and you can also visit butterfly garden, Silk Farm, or War Museum in the city. If you have more time to visit outside the city, you can visit Koh Kor and the Kulen Hill Waterfalls to see a largest recliner Buddha and a thousand linga along the waterfalls. Happy travels 🎉
Oh man we tried to get to Butterfly Gardens but it was closed the day we filmed (I believe it was Saturday). Those are great recs though. I remember when we first arrived I was doing research of things to do in Siem Reap I almost felt overwhelmed. Obviously you could spend SO much time in Angkor Wat, but man there's a whole heap of awesome things to experience throughout the area. We can't wait to get back there & explore more of it!! Thank you so much for watching our video!!!:)
We are here during the "rainy season " beautiful days only rained one late afternoon...very low crowds that's what we like..oh and lower hotel prices plus FREE room up grades :) so much for the best time to visit 😅😊
Thank you for watching! We wanted to include as much information as possible because when we were looking for information we couldn’t find a whole lot. Glad to hear this video helped you too!
I am traveling to Siem Reap, thanks for your great video. Defenitely will do the 3 day pass. Can you recomend me a place where to stay in Seam Reap no expensive. O r where did you stay. Thanks you
Hey great content. I'll be visiting Siem Reap with family end of June for about 5days4nts. Based on your experience, do you think it's worth to get the tickets to get into the temples, and what's the average cost for the tickets, and where would you suggest them? Reason being, I just realised it's pretty expensive and everything is in USD. Any other places of interest you think is worth visiting? Do you think it's safer to get a guide or just wing it? Thanks loads
So impressive - can't wait to visit next year. But, NO way to the cobras for me, and Brian is with Trey as usual on the whole heights thing. You both do such a fantastic job with all the history and info - Nice work!
Thank y'all so much!!! When reviewing our footage from this day we quickly realized we basically said NOTHING to the camera for about 95% of it so we had to improvise LOL. This was definitely different from usual but it allowed us to get a bit creative too!! You guys will love it, but my goodness...bring lots of water🤣
Wow! You're right, this was definitely different than your other videos, but I liked it! You always do a great job at telling stories & history. I would love to visit here one day, and will take your advice on the tickets. How should people without a tour get around to the other temples? Can you walk?
Thank you so much!!!! We were a bit nervous about this one but we're glad it came off informative & useful!! As far as getting around, we HIGHLY recommend just hiring a tuktuk driver for the day. You can walk if you want, but it's REALLY hot & the temples aren't really that close to each other. Looking back, we'd definitely have gotten the tuktuk driver for the day (which honestly won't be all that much). Thank you so much for watching our videos!!!!:)
Some of the best Khmer temples are outside of the Angkor capital. I personally love Beng Melea and Koh Ker if you can do add it to your next trip. It is less touristy and not to mention these are still massive temples.
That's something we'd heard as well!!! We always kinda thought there'd be more there than just Angkor Wat, but unfortunately we didn't have enough time to dive more into the area. Next time we visit we plan to allocate around a week in Siem Reap, as well as get down to Battambang. Cambodia's got SO much to see. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch our video!!!
Thank you for nice information. Just note that it was HIndu temple originally and then Buddhism came to Cambodia and they converted Hindu temples into Buddhist temples. Few places the information given by you is not correct like 6:05 onwards.
Thank you so much for the kind words Michael!!!! We felt like it was just as important to tell some of the story as it was to show our experience. I'm so thankful you found this video useful & informative. Thank you for watching!!!:)
Was looking forward to this one!! Wasn't expecting it to be as crowded as it was - idk why hahaha! Would have been pretty cool to see a cobra or tiger.... from a good distance!
Guys y'all would LOVE Angkor Wat, but brace yourselves for the amount of people there🤣 Trey was really wanting to see a cobra at one point but unfortunately no luck. It's truly a crazy place to visit though & feels so much older than it is!!!
Some of the band were injured as a child years later by all the landmines left over from the war. There still is injuries every year but are becoming less and less and Cambodia is hoping to be 100% free from landmines by 2025. The mined areas still yet to be cleared are all in areas far far away from tourist areas so feel reassured.
Cambodia ancient temples truly splendid and wonderous human creation heavenly on earth for the Gods to protect humanity here as beautiful as heaven..... many more Cambodia ancient temples in Thailand or Siam, Laos, and Vietnam too when where Cambodia Khmers empires was there back than too
They're certainly one of a kind!!! We can't wait to get back to Cambodia at some point to see more of it. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video!!!:)
I totally agree!!😂 The heights are an obvious no-go, but we found ourselves moving “with purpose” any time we found a roof above us inside the temples. It’s such an incredible place though. Hopefully we make it back one day to see more of it because the Angkor Wat complex is HUGEEEE!!! Thank you so much for watching Jan!!❤️❤️
Hi there! Could I ask how yall travelled around inside Angkor? My family and I don't really want to hire a guided tour nor do we want a tuk tuk driver that follows the small/big circuit route. We have our own planned route so like were there any tuktuk drivers inside Angkor that would take you just to one temple like just for 1 trip wherever we ask?
This is a great question! We did see some tuktuk's inside of Angkor Wat that could offer rides for people not on tours, but a majority of them are rented for the day. One option would be to rent a tuktuk for a day and just tell them that you have a route instead of following a tour. Some of the temples are close to one another, but the complex is massive and I don't recommend walking. We did see some folks on bikes which we thought would have been a really cool experience on a nice day, but also a workout since the complex is quite large and the weather can be humid/hot. Going without a rented tuktuk or a bike of some kind is an option but you run the risk of not finding a tuktuk and needing a ride to your next spot if you don't rent one for the day. Hope you enjoy your trip! ☺️
Just like how you can break down the English word “Perfect” into two Latin words “Per” and “Facere” and decode it to meaning “The Primal Creator” implying the first human king, you can actually break down the words Angkor Wat and trace it to not only Indo-European but also Egyptian shared Kingdom words such as “Ank and Woden” which together comes out to the “One Wood” or “One Uniquest Wood” implying the Bodhi Tree or Christmas Tree that represents the first sovereign human God-King on Earth. Hence the word Angkor Thom, which is the entrance having the angels and demons battling each other for supremacy can be broken down into two shared Indo-European and Afro-Asiatic words, “Ank and Thomas/Dominus”. Thus when interpreting the two Kingdom words together, they read out as “the Uniquest of Two Dominates” implying One Twin. Which makes sense since the entrance depicts a battle between Good and Evil.
About 35 years ago some Indian experts using a substance that could have acidic substance to scrub the temples and made them irregular . So some places have banned not to touch.
Warm welcome to Siem Reap of Angkor Wat, Cambodia! If would need a Tuk Tuk to Angkor Wat and I available to do with you as well.

Who ever give you the information about battle with the Chinese was incorrect. Most of SoryaVarman and JayaVarman battle was with the Cham. During this era, the Ly Dynasty was at it infancy plus many young boys were crown as Emperor of Vietnam, and the southern Song was too busy dealing with the Jurchens. Additionally, there was another dynasty situation at the south of Song and that was the Kingdom of Dali. JayaVarman VII religious was extremely similar to the religion of Dali, therefore he might be coming from there too. His rises to power was about 37 years right after the execution of Yue Fe, the greatest military legend of the Chinese people.
U Are Very Wrong In the Video at the part of 6 Minute 10 Seconds The correct information is This Was A Hindu Temple And Government of Combodia Converted Hindu Temple To Buddhist Temple And After that Conversion Only Few People Are Arrived.
Angkor is a symbol of power and wealth. That's why Cambodia was at one time bigger than Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam because a large part of the land was stolen by the Thai government years ago.
😂LOL the Khmer Kingdom and Kingdom of Siam were at war for centuries Cambodia actually started the stealing of land and enslaved the Thais first. Obtw same thing happened with Vietnam and Laos and Cambodia, learn some history
@@DavidWilliams-qr5yj You got your history wrong, buddy. Thailand was a tiny country before the Khmer Empire, which lasted for 600 years. It got bigger as the Khmer Empire became weaker, just like all other empires that failed. The Thais, which used to be called Siams, were captured during the war and became slaves. Also, the Thai military committed genocide against Cambodian refugees around 1979 by killing about 300 of them near the Thai-Cambodian border. It was an evil act that most people don't know about.
I was reading online that men should wear pants when visiting the Angkor Wat temple complex. Is there any truth to this? I noticed that Trey was able to wear shorts.
You talking about the Vietnamese was just an inserted into Angkor era history. Angkor Thom was under the reign of Jayaverman VII. During his time the Vietnamese was in its infancy and in political turmoil. At the same time, the Song Emperor was just executed a popular general name Yue Fei, about three decades before Javavarman VII become King of the Khmer empire. His devotion to Mahayana Buddhist was so much similar to the kingdom of Dali rulers and he spent most of his life south of Dali before becoming a Khmer king. Jayavarman (Jay Yah Varpamen) have meaning and whoever written in Khmer in Wikipedia was completely wrong. The Wikipedia writer was just simply translated the Romanized Jayavarman back to Khmer. The name Jaya (Jay Yah) mean Victory over the Ogre and Varman (Varpaman) was suppose to translate as dissemination. Khmer share Yah word (the giant ogre) with Laotian and maybe Thai too. Succession of Angkor era king built temples mountain to defense and fight a victorious war again the Yah. Many of the King name were related to domination over the Yah, such as Yasovarman (Yah Soar Varpaman) mean lock the Yah up and disseminating. Similar to Jack in the Beanstalk, the Yah also live above in the cloud or on the heaven. They live above like the god but they were in constant battle with the god.
We felt this video covered everything we wish we knew before we went. Thankfully Angkor Wat is a very popular place and there are lots of vlogs that you can choose from!
Latest news: The world just acknowledged that Khmer or Cambodia did not build Angkor Wat. Who is Khom? The latest research done by Chiang Mai University in collaboration with an international research team has examined DNA samples from Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Burma, and Cambodia, compared with DNA samples from ancient humans found in archaeological excavations of each country. Compared to the current ASEAN DNA As a result, Thailand is close to Vietnam, Laos, and Indonesia, but Burma and Cambodia are separated. People who lived during the Khom civilization are pedigree South Indian Mon which is not found in Cambodia This clearly indicates that Khmer is not Khom and Khom Warman was completely eradicated from the present Khmer faction, which had no Khmer ancestry. This coincides with the story of Nai Tang Wan (Mr.Sweet Melon) Rebellion who established himself as a later king with the eradication of the Varman dynasty and theories. Diva Sarug Khmer according to the Sap Bak inscription was just a savage village recruited for slave labor. (China-Zhou Da Guang's record)
please, enough with spreading false news just to get Thailand in picture. These are our ancestors no matter how much you want to keep denying it. Thailand is a beautiful country but you have to admit it is the youngest - and “Thais” came from somewhere in China. The record is there. Stop lying and say Cambodia is bla bla. Before Khmer Empire, there was Chenla and Funan which we “Khmer” were also in the history. You do not have enough knowledge of Cambodia history. All you know is Angkor Wat because that’s all you want to care about. Our history and temple runs deep to 1st century. Check out Angkor Borei - one of the oldest area in Cambodia (1st - 6th century).
The more you search, the more you find If Cambodia didn't find a problem with us first~ Thai people wouldn't be this alert... The more I search ~ the more I find ~ the more it becomes clear… that the “Ancient Khom” that created the entire civilization in this region was Thailand *Siam-Siem)… There is evidence in a stone inscription at Bagan… In China, there are records of “Zhou Daguan”. and paintings in ancient Chinese temples (Khmer scholars know well but keep ัtheir mouths shut)… @@moonieeee_
That is not true. 1. Khmer Empire Influence: During the height of the Khmer Empire (9th-15th centuries), parts of what is now Thailand, particularly in the central and northeastern regions, were under Khmer rule or cultural influence. This is evident in architectural styles, such as the Khmer-style temples (e.g., Phimai and Phanom Rung), and in early Thai art and iconography. Ayutthaya Period: The Kingdom of Ayutthaya (1351-1767) interacted with the declining Khmer Empire. Thai rulers adopted aspects of Khmer court culture, rituals, and governance. Ancient stone temples in Thailand like hin phimai and phnom rung are all khmer temples. Your country has nothing but Khmer heritage.

I totally agree!!😂 The heights are an obvious no-go, but we found ourselves moving “with purpose” any time we found a roof above us inside the temples. It’s such an incredible place though. Hopefully we make it back one day to see more of it because the Angkor Wat complex is HUGEEEE!!! Thank you so much for watching Jan!!❤️❤️
Hi there! Could I ask how yall travelled around inside Angkor? My family and I don't really want to hire a guided tour nor do we want a tuk tuk driver that follows the small/big circuit route. We have our own planned route so like were there any tuktuk drivers inside Angkor that would take you just to one temple like just for 1 trip wherever we ask?
This is a great question! We did see some tuktuk's inside of Angkor Wat that could offer rides for people not on tours, but a majority of them are rented for the day. One option would be to rent a tuktuk for a day and just tell them that you have a route instead of following a tour. Some of the temples are close to one another, but the complex is massive and I don't recommend walking. We did see some folks on bikes which we thought would have been a really cool experience on a nice day, but also a workout since the complex is quite large and the weather can be humid/hot. Going without a rented tuktuk or a bike of some kind is an option but you run the risk of not finding a tuktuk and needing a ride to your next spot if you don't rent one for the day. Hope you enjoy your trip! ☺️
Just like how you can break down the English word “Perfect” into two Latin words “Per” and “Facere” and decode it to meaning “The Primal Creator” implying the first human king, you can actually break down the words Angkor Wat and trace it to not only Indo-European but also Egyptian shared Kingdom words such as “Ank and Woden” which together comes out to the “One Wood” or “One Uniquest Wood” implying the Bodhi Tree or Christmas Tree that represents the first sovereign human God-King on Earth. Hence the word Angkor Thom, which is the entrance having the angels and demons battling each other for supremacy can be broken down into two shared Indo-European and Afro-Asiatic words, “Ank and Thomas/Dominus”. Thus when interpreting the two Kingdom words together, they read out as “the Uniquest of Two Dominates” implying One Twin. Which makes sense since the entrance depicts a battle between Good and Evil.
Which month did you visit?
We were there in February!
Everything in Cambodia reminded me of India. Especially the religious buildings
There are definitely some similarities for sure! We can't wait to make it to India at some point. Thank you so much for watching our video!!:)
About 35 years ago some Indian experts using a substance that could have acidic substance to scrub the temples and made them irregular . So some places have banned not to touch.
Great video, really enjoyed watching it. The rainy season is a good time visit because it’s not that many people and a bit cooler.
The word commonly used in substitution for pictograph in this case I believe is bas-relief.
Warm welcome to Siem Reap of Angkor Wat, Cambodia!
If would need a Tuk Tuk to Angkor Wat and I available to do with you as well.

Who ever give you the information about battle with the Chinese was incorrect. Most of SoryaVarman and JayaVarman battle was with the Cham. During this era, the Ly Dynasty was at it infancy plus many young boys were crown as Emperor of Vietnam, and the southern Song was too busy dealing with the Jurchens. Additionally, there was another dynasty situation at the south of Song and that was the Kingdom of Dali. JayaVarman VII religious was extremely similar to the religion of Dali, therefore he might be coming from there too. His rises to power was about 37 years right after the execution of Yue Fe, the greatest military legend of the Chinese people.
Thank you for clarifying & for taking the time to watch our video!!:)

This Was A Vishnu Temple And Government of Combodia Concerted Hindu Temple Into Buddhist Temple This is a Correct Information
❤️️❤️️🇰🇭
i like cambodia
U Are Very Wrong In the Video at the part of 6 Minute 10 Seconds The correct information is This Was A Hindu Temple And Government of Combodia Converted Hindu Temple To Buddhist Temple And After that Conversion Only Few People Are Arrived.
Hindu temple first, then Buddhist. The images on the walls are called bas relief's.
Angkor is a symbol of power and wealth. That's why Cambodia was at one time bigger than Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam because a large part of the land was stolen by the Thai government years ago.
Do not try to bad attitude... guy.
Thailand is not national to steal.
😂LOL the Khmer Kingdom and Kingdom of Siam were at war for centuries Cambodia actually started the stealing of land and enslaved the Thais first. Obtw same thing happened with Vietnam and Laos and Cambodia, learn some history
@@DavidWilliams-qr5yj You got your history wrong, buddy. Thailand was a tiny country before the Khmer Empire, which lasted for 600 years. It got bigger as the Khmer Empire became weaker, just like all other empires that failed. The Thais, which used to be called Siams, were captured during the war and became slaves. Also, the Thai military committed genocide against Cambodian refugees around 1979 by killing about 300 of them near the Thai-Cambodian border. It was an evil act that most people don't know about.

I was reading online that men should wear pants when visiting the Angkor Wat temple complex. Is there any truth to this? I noticed that Trey was able to wear shorts.
Hi!! Honestly most people were wearing shorts so I believe it’s not too big of a deal!!
@@ProbablyLost That's great to hear, because I know how hot it can get. I lived in Thailand for 2 years.
You talking about the Vietnamese was just an inserted into Angkor era history. Angkor Thom was under the reign of Jayaverman VII. During his time the Vietnamese was in its infancy and in political turmoil. At the same time, the Song Emperor was just executed a popular general name Yue Fei, about three decades before Javavarman VII become King of the Khmer empire. His devotion to Mahayana Buddhist was so much similar to the kingdom of Dali rulers and he spent most of his life south of Dali before becoming a Khmer king. Jayavarman (Jay Yah Varpamen) have meaning and whoever written in Khmer in Wikipedia was completely wrong. The Wikipedia writer was just simply translated the Romanized Jayavarman back to Khmer. The name Jaya (Jay Yah) mean Victory over the Ogre and Varman (Varpaman) was suppose to translate as dissemination. Khmer share Yah word (the giant ogre) with Laotian and maybe Thai too. Succession of Angkor era king built temples mountain to defense and fight a victorious war again the Yah. Many of the King name were related to domination over the Yah, such as Yasovarman (Yah Soar Varpaman) mean lock the Yah up and disseminating. Similar to Jack in the Beanstalk, the Yah also live above in the cloud or on the heaven. They live above like the god but they were in constant battle with the god.

❤❤❤👍
great video but need to work on your pronunciation of the word Khmer. it's pronounced ka-my 😊
❤
Thanks for watching! 🤗
Actually it was built as a Hindu temple first before converting to Buddhist. You had that part backwards.,
No that’s what they said
sadly I trapped into the clickbait title.. nice video but definitely missed the core:(
We felt this video covered everything we wish we knew before we went. Thankfully Angkor Wat is a very popular place and there are lots of vlogs that you can choose from!
Can you please pronounce the name closer to the khmer pronunciation.
Buddha comes from Hinduism
Latest news: The world just acknowledged that Khmer or Cambodia did not build Angkor Wat.
Who is Khom?
The latest research done by Chiang Mai University in collaboration with an international research team has examined DNA samples from Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Burma, and Cambodia, compared with DNA samples from ancient humans found in archaeological excavations of each country. Compared to the current ASEAN DNA
As a result, Thailand is close to Vietnam, Laos, and Indonesia, but Burma and Cambodia are separated. People who lived during the Khom civilization are pedigree South Indian Mon which is not found in Cambodia This clearly indicates that Khmer is not Khom and Khom Warman was completely eradicated from the present Khmer faction, which had no Khmer ancestry. This coincides with the story of Nai Tang Wan (Mr.Sweet Melon) Rebellion who established himself as a later king with the eradication of the Varman dynasty and theories. Diva Sarug Khmer according to the Sap Bak inscription was just a savage village recruited for slave labor. (China-Zhou Da Guang's record)
please, enough with spreading false news just to get Thailand in picture. These are our ancestors no matter how much you want to keep denying it. Thailand is a beautiful country but you have to admit it is the youngest - and “Thais” came from somewhere in China. The record is there. Stop lying and say Cambodia is bla bla. Before Khmer Empire, there was Chenla and Funan which we “Khmer” were also in the history. You do not have enough knowledge of Cambodia history. All you know is Angkor Wat because that’s all you want to care about. Our history and temple runs deep to 1st century. Check out Angkor Borei - one of the oldest area in Cambodia (1st - 6th century).
The more you search, the more you find
If Cambodia didn't find a problem with us first~ Thai people wouldn't be this alert...
The more I search ~ the more I find ~ the more it becomes clear… that the “Ancient Khom” that created the entire civilization in this region was Thailand *Siam-Siem)… There is evidence in a stone inscription at Bagan… In China, there are records of “Zhou Daguan”. and paintings in ancient Chinese temples (Khmer scholars know well but keep ัtheir mouths shut)…

អាសំរាមសៀម..😂😂😂
That is not true.
1. Khmer Empire Influence:
During the height of the Khmer Empire (9th-15th centuries), parts of what is now Thailand, particularly in the central and northeastern regions, were under Khmer rule or cultural influence. This is evident in architectural styles, such as the Khmer-style temples (e.g., Phimai and Phanom Rung), and in early Thai art and iconography.
Ayutthaya Period:
The Kingdom of Ayutthaya (1351-1767) interacted with the declining Khmer Empire. Thai rulers adopted aspects of Khmer court culture, rituals, and governance. Ancient stone temples in Thailand like hin phimai and phnom rung are all khmer temples. Your country has nothing but Khmer heritage.
D.N.A.khamer have not khom thailand made ungkor
It was a Hindu temple then convert to Buddha..
