geovalin Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Sen David A push by Thailand to preserve traditional masked dance on the UNESCO cultural heritage listing has drawn an angry online backlash from many Cambodians who claim the dance belongs to Khmer culture. According to the Bangkok Post, Thailand has proposed including the dance on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list, which aims to preserve practices, instruments and skills of cultures and traditions. Cambodia’s Lakorn Khol is a dance-drama based on the Reamker – the Cambodian poem in turn based on Sanskrit’s Ramayana epic – and the Thai Royal Khon is believed to have stemmed from the Cambodian version. read more http://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/thai-claim-dance-draws-ire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redline Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Even the Thai experts don't do their research. Or, they are trying to get away with something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanukjim Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Maybe they can get Pattaya registered as a world heritage site. Unique it is, international significance, and very Thai. Na because when The Air America boys out of Udorn started going here in the early 1960s then The American G.I.s in the late 1960s they set Pattaya up as a mixture of Gate Two Street in Okinawa and Angeles City bar area from the main Gate area of Clark Field..So very outside infulence all the way.
