after the forbidden from Angkor by the king, his majesty, Ponheayat in 1434.
The reasons that led the king decided to move down in order for building down
along the Mekong River because Angkor city had gone through a lot of wars and
especially, the invasion from Siam (Thai nowadays) and the city was close to their
city as well. Another reason was that the geography of the new city was better
for protection and easy for people to live. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "lucida calligraphy"; font-size: 10.0pt;">There was also a story telling about how
Phnom Penh was built. It was known that the name of the city was given after an
old lady named Penh. She found a big Koki tree stopped at the riverside nearby
her house after a big rain during the raining season. Then, she went down to
see that big tree and found the statues of Buddha. Being so surprised by
finding those statues, she gathered the villagers living around there to pull
that big tree up to the land and she asked those people to build up a small
mountain and a pagoda over there to place the statues. After building the
mountain, people gave the name to that place as Phnom Daun Penh and then it was
shorten by just only Phnom Penh until present. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

from a decade to another, it was not used as the capital of Cambodia many times
because of war and the reigns of kings who had ruled the country. In 1975,
Phnom Penh was once again deserted because of Khmer Rouge after the fall of
Republic of Cambodia led by General Lon Nol. It was the darkest time in the
history that Cambodia was brought down to the zero point and city was known as
ghost city due to the fact that people were evacuated to live in other
provinces and there were the group of high command of Khmer Rouge only who
lived in the city. After the fall of Khmer Rouge in 1979, Phnom Penh has been
made the capital city of Cambodia again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

By doing so, our sister company, <a href="http://www.communityresidencesiemreap.com/photo-gallery.html">Community Residence Siem Reap</a>, has founded <a href="http://rhvt.org/our-sponsors/">Rural Hospitality Vocational Training</a> to provide skills and training to our local people in order to qualify for the jobs available in Siem Reap or any other provinces in Cambodia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "lucida calligraphy"; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: lucida calligraphy;"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px;">This is what we are doing for in order to support our society. We do not just try to survive ourselves but we would love to share what we have earned from our business too. Therefore, we have become the sponsor and partner to support that non-profit organization since we understand that the money that we donate to those poor people does not last long so we provide them the skills so that it is much more useful to them and it can help their living for long term by having a good job from the skills they got from us.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>On Monday, the archaeologists unearthed their second major find.

<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As you enter the village of Koh Chen (Chinese Island) on the Tonle Sap you hear the dull thud, thud of metal being hammered into shape.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is the sound of the villagers practising their craft. For inhabitants of Koh Chen, on the opposite side of the river to Oudong on National Highway 5, copper smithing has long been a way of life.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Kandal province artisans make pots, bowls, plates, ornamental swords, bracelets, and other souvenir items from flattened copper. Their work not only exemplifies Cambodia’s reputation for craftsmanship, but offers generations of villagers a reliable income.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hammer in hand, coppersmith Pin Vuthy, 24, says he and other young people in the village learned their craft from their parents and elders.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Making artistic copper pots, bowls, plates or bracelets is our traditional job in Koh Chen village,” he says.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And Pin Vuthy says he wants to see these skills passed on, so future generations can enjoy this guaranteed livelihood.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Their traditional work is in such high demand that Koh Chen villagers rarely need to market their products directly, with Phnom Penh’s dealers beating a path to their door.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Generally we make copper products based on orders from dealers at the market,” Pin Vuthy says.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All eight people in Vuthy’s family are skilled in fashioning copper into craft items, involved in every stage of the production process.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pin Vuthy cuts and carves flattened copper into decorative swords, popular among Cambodians for weddings. His two sisters carve them with traditional Khmer motifs. In one day they can produce up to six wedding swords.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pin Vuthy emphasises the fact that his is a highly skilled trade in which attention to detail is essential to a quality product. “Carving is not an easy job, and I pay a lot of attention to it,” Pin Vuthy says. “I have to use both physical and mental power to do the work carefully by hand.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He says he is proud of the traditional skill set of his family and his community, considering his craft to be a part of his ancestral heritage.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">He says his job offers him a good income, and he doesn’t have to leave his village for work – although he occasionally goes to Phnom Penh to buy copper.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jeng Chanthou, one of the dealers who frequent Koh Chen village, has sold its products for the past 14 years.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She has some of the copper items silver-plated, selling the work at Russian Market, Central Market and small shops in the city.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“Mostly foreigners and high-class people buy the artistic pieces from us,” Jeng Chanthou says. “But we also place orders for bracelets, copper jewellery and swords for traditional Cambodian weddings.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She says plates with carvings of <a href="http://trailtoangkortours.com/siem-reap-tours/item/96-03-days-classical-angkor-tta-01.html">Angkor Wat</a> or Preah Vihear temple always fetch a good price.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>BY MICHELLE VACHON, The Cambodia Daily</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>Archaeologists are typically happy to find pottery shards when they excavate a site in <a href="http://trailtoangkortours.com/">Angkor </a>Archaeological Park as too many centuries have passed and too many cities have risen and collapsed for them to expect to find major objects in the ground.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>So what occurred Saturday seemed like something that happens only in the movies. On the second day of an excavation in Siem Reap province, a team of archaeologists found a 1.9 meter statue weighing about 200 kg at an 800-year-old site in Angkor Park.</i></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<span style="color: #999999;">The archaeology team holds a religious ceremony on Sunday to ask the spirit protecting the site permission to move the statue they unearthed the previous day to the Preah Sihanouk Museum in Siem Reap province. (Apsara Authority)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><br />“We were very surprised to find this,” said Im Sokrithy, an archaeologist with the Apsara Authority, the government organization managing Angkor Park, and the dig’s scientific supervisor.<br />The sandstone statue is missing its feet and parts of its legs. Had it been whole, it would have stood at least 2.1 meters, he said. In the image of a guard, it would have stood on the grounds of a hospital that was located next to the northern entrance of <a href="http://trailtoangkortours.com/tours/private-tour-requests.html">Angkor Thom</a>, the walled city of King Jayavarman VII. The excavation began last Friday and is meant to last about 12 days. The hospital is one of the 102 that the 12th century king is believed to have built throughout his Angkorian empire, said Tan Boun Suy, deputy director-general for the Apsara Authority.<br />“Jayavarman VII’s reign was truly remarkable in terms of social programs,” he said. “The hospital consisted of wooden buildings and a chapel erected in stones. What is left is the chapel…as wooden structures have long disappeared.”<br />If the excavation unearths other objects of the time, it would provide useful information on the life and activities in those hospitals and also the lives of ordinary people of the era, of which very little is known, he said yesterday.<br />For this excavation, the Apsara Authority retained Rethy Chhem as an adviser. A university professor and radiologist who heads the Cambodia Development Resource Institute, a Phnom Penh think tank, Dr. Chhem is also a historian and the authority on Angkorian-era hospitals and medicine, Mr. Boun Suy said.</i></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“There are four hospitals identified at the four cardinal points of Angkor Thom,” Dr. Chhem said last Friday. “They were identified by French archaeologists about 100 years ago, but had never been excavated.”</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“In each hospital…there were two shrines within the enclosure,” he said. “The principal shrine has a gate that opens toward the east, the second one…to the west.”</span></i></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">“We would hit gold if we found the statue of the Buddha.”</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Many statues of the Buddha were destroyed during the reign of Jayavarman VIII in the mid-13th century in his effort to restore Brahmanism in the country, and most of those that remained were looted, although some were buried for their protection.</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Dr. Chhem and the excavation team never dreamed of finding one of the hospital’s major statues on the second day of excavation. And yesterday, the team kept making discoveries: They found a piece of another statue, Mr. Sokrithy said. “We also found much evidence of wooden structures such as roof tiles and ceramics.”</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The excavation is conducted by the Apsara Authority in cooperation with the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies’ Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore.

It also described about the most important job of Khmer people do for living which is agriculture or specifically, it is rice farming. In the process of doing rice farming, transportation is also important due to the fact that farmers will need to transfer farming tools, food, seeds, rice planted, or rice sheaves back and forth from their field and house, and the most popular transportation that they usually use is ox-cart or buffalo-cart. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "lucida calligraphy"; font-size: 10pt;">Oxen and buffaloes are not all used based on the region and the culture of people living there. In some provinces, they tend to use oxen rather than buffaloes and some other provinces, on the other hand, buffaloes are widely used than oxen. Being back to the past once machine was not created, ox-cart or buffalo cart was used not only in the process of doing farming but also as the transportation for people to commute from one place to another since it can carry things with which they bring such as clothes, food, or goods. During the period of war, it was also used to transfer weapon and food or any other war equipment to supply for soldiers at the battle fields. The whole cart is made from wood and designed based on Khmer traditional style but now people tend to use rubber wheels instead of wood wheel because when the wheel is broken, rubber wheel is easier to fix than wood wheel.</span><br />

buffalo-cart is an important tool to use in Khmer people daily life since the
ancient time until present. Not only have they facilitated goods and people
from one place to another, they have also helped to earn extra profit to our people as
well by taking the tourists for a ride to experience the countryside life and
spectacular view in the rural area. Furthermore, the cart is also considered as the national
identification based on its age and style in Khmer culture. </span></div>

The temple was begun by King Yasovarman I (889-910 AD) who build to the foundations and the east-ern stairs which rise nearly a kilometer from the forested plains. King Suryavarman I, (1002-1050) and his son King Udayadityavarman II (1050-1068) carried on, laying out most of the monolithic features present today. King Jayavarman VI (1080-1107), King Dharanindravarman I (1107-1112), and King Suryavarman II (1113-1150) added the finishing touches. The Preah Vihear temple was dedicated to Shiva, a God of the Brahman religions, but it was not cut off from Buddhism because most of the Kings who helped to build this temple understood Buddhism. </i></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida calligraphy"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Talking about <a href="http://www.trailtoangkortours.com/tours.html">Siem Reap tour</a>, people usually think
of temples tour or any other sacred places to visit, but they might forget that
there is countryside and there are many rice paddies fields located around the
corner of the town. Besides providing beautiful scenery, rice fields is the
main source to produce rice which is the most popular and important food for
Khmer people. 80 percent of total population is farmer and some of them still prefer cultivate
rice crop in traditional ways while some turn to do it by using machines. Growing rice needs to spend labor, time, and money, so it is possible to say that it is not an easy
thing to do before we have rice as the final product to eat. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida calligraphy"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Based on the weather and <a href="http://trailtoangkortours.blogspot.com/2017/06/calendar-of-event.html">Calendar of Cambodia</a>, rice is mainly produced in Raining season
(from May to October) since there will have enough water supply to support rice
farming. However, this practice can also be done during Dry season (from
November to April) if there has enough sources of water. For example, the rice
fields are located near river or lake or the irrigation systems. The question
is that how many steps in order to do rice farming? The brief description below
are the stages of doing rice farming.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "lucida calligraphy"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Farmers usually plow their fields when the
soil is wet by using Khmer traditional plow as the tool pulling by two oxen or
buffaloes as the power. The soil is plowed to a depth of 70 – 100 mm.
Depending on the condition of the soil, it will need to be plowed again from
3 – 6 weeks after the first time of doing it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida calligraphy"; font-size: 10.0pt;">After plowing and leaving it to get into
good condition, it is time to plant the rice crops and there are two methods to
do so. Farmers can choose to plant their rice crops by either transplanting
them from a nursery, which usually takes up 15-20% of the farming area, or
broadcasting (scattering over a wide area). They both can be practiced based on
location and rice ecosystem in the region they are doing farming. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida calligraphy"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Transplanting is more common among the two
methods because broadcasting can only be done in the rain-fed lowland areas of
the country, and it generally gives a lower output than transplanting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "lucida calligraphy"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Transplanting, however, is very labor
intensive, requiring between 30-40 person-days to establish 1 hectare of rice.
If a family does not have enough members to do this work, they will look for
exchanging labor. It is Khmer culture from the past that if one family does not
have enough labor to do their rice planting, they will exchange labor with their
neighbor which means this time, the members from other families come to help
them and when it becomes their neighbor turn, they will take turn and revert to help
them back. Or, if the family’s economy is good, they can hire labor in the area
to help them as well.</span><br />

they will need to weed their fields and use some chemicals to control the
weeds. Besides this, they have to use pesticide to control the pests or other

farming. Besides using animal manure, most farmers use chemical fertilizers for their
nurseries and their fields. All fertilizers are applied manually. Farmyard
manure is transported by animal-drawn carts during the dry season and placed in
strategic piles in the fields. Spreading is done by water movement and during
land preparation. Inorganic fertilizers are hand-spread and, where necessary,
incorporated by harrowing. </span><br />

crop growing well. To get this, irrigation system needs to be built in order
to supply water to the fields besides nearby rivers or lakes. Some
rice-growing areas in Cambodia are irrigated to water supply during the dry season to enable
farmers to plant rice two or three times per year. The use of irrigation systems
has been increasing in these recent years. However, many farmers will still need to
pay to pump water into their farm area, as there may be some distance from the
main water channels.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "lucida calligraphy"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Cambodia and Laos are known as the countries
that have a long history in Southeast Asia. They share the same religion and
similar culture in some ways. Being known as the former parts of Indochina
countries during the French colonial, these two countries have become the
interesting tourist sites of the region and the world in this modern era.
Therefore, are there any attractive places which are worth to visit while

<span style="font-family: "lucida calligraphy"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Let’s start from Cambodia. Cambodia is considered
as one of the popular tourist sites and it is called Kingdom of Wonder, based
on the plenty of cultures and the fabulous temples located all over the country.
Tourists can plan their trip to Cambodia by thinking of visiting the gorgeous
temples in Angkor area as well as the <b><span style="color: #0070c0;"><a href="http://www.trailtoangkortours.com/siem-reap-tours/item/9-1-4-days,-angkor-highlight.html">highlighted temples of Angkor</a>.</span></b><span style="color: #0070c0;"> </span>What’s more,
they should not miss the chance to see the <b><span style="color: #0070c0;"><a href="http://www.trailtoangkortours.com/siem-reap-tours/item/24-2-5-days,-angkor-remote-temples.html">remote temples</a></span></b> which are located far away from the town and Angkor area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>We all may know already about <a href="http://trailtoangkortours.com/">circus </a>show or circus performance from Western culture that we learn it from books or the show on television. On the other hand, Khmer circus performance is a kind of art that has existed in Cambodian culture for centuries. There are some evidences of this art on some temples in Cambodia, especially the carving of circus performance on Bayon temple which is well shown that Khmer circus already appeared since Angkor period, which was last around 600 years.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>The carving depicts the different forms of circus performance such as acrobats, contortionists, magicians, jugglers, dancers, clowns, and even animals such as snakes and monkeys. After having war for years, the circus performance was dropped off for a while and it started to be resumed when the country got peace and independence during the Songkumreasniyum era led by the late king, his majesty Norodom Sihanouk. Then, this activity was abandoned once again during the Khmer Rouge regime as it did not happen only on Khmer circus but also other forms of Khmer arts. </i></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>
<span style="color: #444444; text-align: justify;">Kuy Teav is not a dish Cambodians like to cook at home, though. They rather eat it in the street or in a restaurant, where they can sit in the company of friends and acquaintances, and discuss the latest gossip or news over some steaming soup bowls.</span></i></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><i>This tasty dish is prepared with <a href="http://www.trailtoangkortours.com/">rice noodles</a> , which are cooked by quickly immersing them in boiling water. The noodles are then strained, placed into a bowl, and lightly coated with nutty, caramelized garlic oil. After dressing with a type of oyster sauce, soy sauce and a pinch of sugar, the bowl is then filled with a clear broth made from pork or beef bones. Then the meat toppings are added, which may include pork loaf, minced pork, and pork belly, among others.</i></span><br />

Temples were built in accordance to the rule of ancient Khmer architecture that dictated that a basic temple layout include a central shrine, a courtyard, an enclosing wall, and a moat. Khmer motifs use many creatures from Buddhist and Hindu mythology, like the Royal Palace in <a href="http://www.trailtoangkortours.com/style-interest.html" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080;" title="Phnom Penh">Phnom Penh</a>, use motifs such as the <a href="http://www.trailtoangkortours.com/style-interest.html" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080;" title="Garuda">garuda</a>, a mythical bird in Hinduism.

The remains of secular architecture from this time are rare, as only religious buildings were made of stone. The architecture of the Angkor period used specific structural features and styles, which are one of the main methods used to date the temples, along with inscriptions.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i>In modern rural Cambodia, the nuclear family typically lives in a rectangular <a href="http://www.trailtoangkortours.com/style-interest.html" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080;" title="Rural Khmer house">house</a> that may vary in size from four by six meters to six by ten meters. It is constructed of a wooden frame with gabled thatch roof and walls of woven bamboo. <a href="http://www.trailtoangkortours.com/style-interest.html" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080;" title="Rural Khmer house">Khmer houses</a> are typically raised as much as three meters on stilts for protection from annual floods. Two <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_Khmer_House#Access" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080;" title="Rural Khmer House">ladders</a> or wooden <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://www.trailtoangkortours.com/style-interest.html" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080;" title="Rural Khmer House">staircases</a> provide access to the house. The steep thatch roof overhanging the house walls protects the <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://www.trailtoangkortours.com/style-interest.html" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080;" title="Rural Khmer House">interior</a> from rain. Typically a house contains three rooms separated by partitions of woven bamboo. The front room serves as a living room used to receive visitors, the next room is the parents' bedroom, and the third is for unmarried daughters. Sons sleep anywhere they can find space. Family members and neighbors work together to build the house, and a house-raising ceremony is held upon its completion. The houses of poorer persons may contain only a single large room. Food is prepared in a separate <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://www.trailtoangkortours.com/style-interest.html" style="background-image: none; color: #0b0080;" title="Rural Khmer House">kitchen</a> located near the house but usually behind it.

Any livestock is kept below the house. Chinese and Vietnamese houses in Cambodian towns and villages are typically built directly on the ground and have earthen, cement, or tile floors, depending upon the economic status of the owner. Urban housing and commercial buildings may be of brick, masonry, or wood.</i></span></div>
