Had the honor of capturing the beautiful Cambodian wedding ceremony between Albert and Lydia out at their home just outside of Portland, OR. What a special day. Hope you enjoy this recap of their amazing celebration.
@@yuttachai-ie3rg Your ignorance is worrisome. Ignorant to the fact that pieces you include in your Chut Thai (a concept created less than a century ago) are derived from Khmer words: Khmer Sbai = Thai sabai; Khmer Chong Kben = Thai Chong Kraben. And those skirts with the front pleats are depicted in statues sculpted during the Chenla period, an earlier Khmer empire before the Angkor period. What you consider to be Thai culture is from the Ayutthaya period which academics, including from the West, believe to have been heavily influenced by Khmer culture. Even Thai historian Charnvit Kasetsiri wrote about this. And Khmer language was in use during the Ayutthaya period where Khmer script was held in high regard. Find an unbiased linguist who has extensively studied Khmer and Thai languages and ask how much of Thai vocabulary derive from Khmer words. It's believed to be over 2,500 Khmer derived words in the Thai language. Search and read "Khmero-Thai: The Great Change in the History of the Thai Language of the Chao Phraya Basin" by Wilaiwan Khanittanan with Thammasat University. Here's another fun read from a discovery that was published July 2023 "Earliest curry in Southeast Asia and the global spice trade 2000 years ago" published on Science Advances. The archeological excavation was in the Funan empire area, another empire believed to be Khmer that was before Chenla.
