Cambodia 1	hello (female polite form) Well, we met each other once again. Today, I will talk about Cambodia. What are Thai people’s opinions about Cambodia? Thai people will know Cambodia, by the informal version of the name Cambodia. In the past, Thailand and Cambodia were neighbors. But during the er... Ayutthaya Kingdom. The Ayutthaya Kingdom conquered Cambodia to make it a colony. So, Thailand, by which I mean the Ayutthaya Kingdom... The Ayutthaya Kingdom ruled (what is informally called) Cambodia or (more formally) Cambodia for over four hundred years. I have to explain a little, the reason why I am speaking about Ayutthaya. Ayutthaya is the name of an old city of Thailand. Therefore, Ayutthaya is also the ancient city of the Thai people. Before being...before becoming Bangkok... Therefore, Cambodia is considered a neighbour bordering Thailand on the east. right here, what I used to study during my school days Well, for example, as I said, our country conquered their country. Until...until about 1900, during 1900 A.D.. We lost this land, losing Cambodia’s territory to France. That is a matter of history. But in Thai people’s feelings, what do they think of Cambodian people or Cambodians? We will look at their country as a backward country. Their country is lagging behind and more underdeveloped than Thailand. Actually, Thai people will know why their country has, er.. the progress is lagging behind our country. And Thai people don’t like to travel to less developed countries than Thailand. such as Cambodia or Laos, Myanmar Er...Thai people, we like to travel to countries that are more prosperous than Thailand. This is another er...another aspect. as we all know, in the past Besides, Cambodia became a colonial country of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. After that, Cambodia became a colony of France. After that, Cambodia was free and there are problems in the country. Which, if we study the story thoroughly. There are killings of Cambodian (informal form) or Cambodian people themselves. Die.. millions of Cambodians die. Which this event, our Thailand provides assistance at that event. That is, people who migrated to the border. Our country has helped and given them shelter. Which our country at that time, Thailand can’t interfere Cambodia. That in the capital, how many people were killed? We can help only cambodians who escaped into Thailand. From all these facts, if you didn’t.. didn’t travel to Cambodia. You wouldn’t understand its dark age. During the Khmer Rouge time, it was very serious. I have been in Cambodia twice. Each time gives me different feelings. This Angkor Wat has a gigantic architecture. I agree that Thailand has many temples. um...the old city of Ayutthaya is massive. but mostly it left only ruins But Cambodia’s Angkor Wat still shows leftovers of its glorious past. So, it let me see how glorious the Cambodian civilisation was at that time. And they are also a Buddhist country like Thailand. Er...both have the same belief in Buddhism. Both respect the same sect. therefore, when we see monks in Cambodia They look like monks in Thailand. Well, we will move onto the second episode, thank you.	Learn
