Deadline Passes but Angkor Vendors Are Not Moving Out


Recommended Posts

Posted

About 57 food and souvenir stalls directly next to Angkor Wat temple were told by officials to take down their booths and depart by Friday, but have not moved out even as the deadline passed.

 

Chan Kanha, 34, is among the Angkor vendors who were told to remove her souvenir shop from Angkor Park by Friday. The sellers’ booths are part of a larger campaign against people living or doing business in the Unesco-designated world heritage site known as Angkor Archaeological Park. These activities, according to officials, may be against the law close to the temples and jeopardize the park’s Unesco designation.

 

However, Kanha said there should have been an agreement on compensation and relocation before ordering them to stop their businesses. The sellers want compensation and a new place where they can continue their trade, she said.
