I am a 76 year old Nam U.S. Army vet who served in the 1st Infantry Division in South Vietnam in all of 1967 and 1968 and 2 mnths of 1969, as I was a volunteer Regular Army soldier who signed up for three years voluntarily. On one of our patrols along the Cambodian and western South Vietnam border we crossed into Cambodia on a mission to cut off the Ho Chi Minh Trail. The jungles and creatures within them in Cambodia were incredible. At the time Southeast Asian tigers still existed in the primeval forests of eastern Cambodia. I saw one while on patrol as we waited in ambush and it went to drink water from a stream in front of us. StocktonRob

CAMPUCHIA very good
Die alte Khmer-Kampfkunst Kun Lbokator ist eine alte Kunst, die auf das Khmer-Reich vor mehr als 10 Jahrhunderten zurückgeht. Sie wurde von der Khmer-Armee verwendet, um ihr Königreich vor Invasionen zu schützen. Sie konnten sich jedoch nicht vor einem Bürgerkrieg schützen, der zum Untergang des Khmer-Reichs führte.
Lbokator ist UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe und der einzige Ursprung sowohl von Kun Khmer als auch des sogenannten Muay Thai. Die Siem-Ethnie verehrt die Khmer-Kultur seit Jahrhunderten, bis sie sich bis zum Niedergang des Khmer-Reichs erheben konnte.
Heutzutage sind die Kambodschaner so kurzsichtig, dass sie das Marktniveau der Siem-Thai-Ethnie erreichen können. Laut dem Britannica Dictionary hat die thailändische Kultur auch viele Aspekte des alten Khmer-Reichs übernommen, darunter traditionelle Tänze, Kostüme, Architektur, Sprachschriften usw. Suchen Sie bei Google nach "thailand culture origin khmer“ und finden Sie seriöse Quellen für Geschichtsunterricht.
