Cambodian netizens are dissatisfied with Thai hotels that mimic Angkor Wat, but both Banteay Sri and Bayon Nakhon Thomsad are inappropriate. Steal other cultural heritage
It became a dramatic issue in the Cambodian social world. Thai hotel case What makes Cambodian netizens unacceptable According to a Khmer Times website report from October 2, 2020, the story is a hotel and resort on Koh Phangan. The website describes it as inspired by Angor Wat, a castle in Cambodia. And it is one of the world heritage sites
The hotel’s website describes the building and all carvings are meticulously handcrafted. As if the real thing in Cambodia AND there are 3 main hall names: Angkor Wat, Banteay Sri and Bayon
In the picture you can see that the building has an old Khmer style and it looks beautiful. Those who do not know may think that everything is equal and perfect. But in fact, it is the highlight of every stone castle to blend in. Each of which is not the same Because it was built according to Hindu beliefs Sect Some Shiva sect Including Buddhism
The most obvious is Giant Sculpture Face from the Bayon Temple, located in Angor Thom, Siem Reap province, different from Angkor Wat in Phra Nakhon province, which were built at different times and in different styles. That the hotel is deliberately a cultural appropriation or misuse of other cultures. And bad
Many Cambodian netizens have commented on the hotel’s Facebook page, criticizing Angkor Wat as Cambodia’s treasure. It is not right for foreigners to steal some, they all represent Cambodia, and Cambodia’s permission must be requested first. Just as I said It is so sad that Cambodia’s Cultural Heritage View has been stolen to do this.
But at the same time there were also some comical comments that Koh Phangan is a thousand kilometers from Angkor Wat. It is not clear how the Prasat Stone appeared here, however it is not known if the hotel owner is Thai or foreign. That could not be contacted at this time
