Some Thai nationalism here have been discredit of Khmer and take a way of Khmer identity from the Khmer. While the Khmer believe that lost identity is lose nationhood for example Khmer say: Lost Culture is Lost Nation, Culture improvement is Nation Success. That is why Khmer-Thai always in fighting while they are talking about culture.
So below is some prove and situation of Khmer and Thai perspective of their culture similarity of both country.
Correction: Land of Thailand (los territory) (13th-20th)
Thai Though over there just like Thai nationalism here... Look at their comment on youtube
@honthnot lol it doesnt say "Khmer" that inscription reads "Kambuja". Your people have been changing the word Kambuja into Khmer for quite some time now. But the original sources all show the inscriptions as Kambuja. Like I said, there is no inscription anywhere with the word "Khmer" on it lol
KensaiZen 2 weeks ago..] So that is proved enough about how Thai Education System is.
and here Khmer response to them:
That inscription (K1158) has 36 lines, 30 lines are in Sanskrit and the lower 6 lines is in Khmer. Thai Prof. Chirapat Prapandvidya, a Prof at Archaeology Faculty of Silpakor (Artist) University in Bangkok translated this inscription in English in the book named "The Journal of the Siam Society, Vol. 78, Part 2" in 1990. You will see the word "Sruk Khmer".

That inscription use Khmer letter and has two languages. What you said is in Sanskrit, find in Khmer language. You can ask your friends about the Prince Udayadityavarman that written back to the reign of King Jayavarman II who celebrated Kalyansiddhi at Abhayakiri by prayed nine Avalokitesvara, you will see the word "Sruk Khmer = Khmer country". I think you should find this inscription in country, because it is in your country now.

Okay let proved a little bit here-
Part of Khmer Language of Inscription K1158
Okay again the inscription of the K1158 of 11th century has 36 lines, 30 lines are in Sanskrit and the lower 6 lines is in Khmer was found in Sab Bak, translated in 1990 by Thai Prof. Chirapat Prapandvidya. mention about the word Sruk Khmer mean Khmer Land.
Okay let take a break reading a book tittle Thai - Cambodian Culture
Relationship through Arts by Mrs Charuwan Phungtian who is other Thai. ^^
There is ton of the evidences to prove about Khmer Civilization both from Khmer Scholars, Thai Scholar, foreigner scholars acknowledge about Khmer Civilization. There is word recognize by Khmer and Thai scholar about the word Khorm which stilll refer to the Ancient Khmer. But some of Thai Nationalism Scholar believe that Khom is the ancient ruler of the Khom Empire, which somehow to western people, Khom doesn't exist, only Khmer or Cambodia as many people were led to believe.
So for Thai if you guys say that the word Khmer Never existed and the word Khmer was used instead of the word Kambuja, Yes you are right!! Because We did it since the 11 century because the fact is the word Kambuja and Khmer was use instead of each other even in the same inscription!!!! but if say the word Khmer never existed is WRONG but to say the word Khorm never existed at the time is RIGHT!!!!
For Thai- The word Khorm is refer to the Ancient Siam people who build those majestic temples during the Angkor period. and they refer Khmer or Khamen as Slavery. They beleive that the Word Khmer never existed before the France come!! IS the France who make up this idea to spit Khamen (Khmer) from the Siam. Note: Thai never care of what Cambodia perspective again that. They even believe that Khmer have never written their own history.
For Khmer- The word Khorm is refer the Ancient Khmer people (There are many words to call them self for example: Khemara, Khamarak, Khemari, Khorm, Khmer, Kambuja..)
The fact the word Khorm is Siam word to call Khmer in Kambuja (Cambodia). The Word Khorm divided from the word Khmer Krom (Khmer word: mean Lowland Khmer) as Siam is live in upper land among other Khmer. The word Khmer Krom also existed in Cambodia to call Khmer who live lower land present day in Southern Vietnam. Siam call Khmer who live among them as Khamen sometime Khamae. During the 19-20th century, the political view of Siam is changing. The new version of history was created to to fit to the new ethnic Thai. The word Khorm have been used to refer to the Ancient Siam who was the evil in the history to be the victim of the France colonize. This have to be done perfectly in order to change the whole Thai perspective about the own ethnic. while the word Khorm are still confusing for ordinary Northern Thailand. Some Northern Thai call Khmer Script (used in Yantra)as Khorm script but some say maybe is Burmese! ^^
There are many facts that show how Thai Nationalism have been learn not to find the unrealistic in those Thai History books and Textbook. They ignorance the truth. and impolitely discredit Khmer, take a ways their identity, And ridiculously saying why Khmer hate Thai? which Thai helping them a lot. and Thai even think that Khmer is their little brother.
The question is: Is that fair to the Khmer? but this question was ask internationaly and the result is Khmer in the last decade have been recognize through out the world for her Great Civilization which have been claimed from the Thai for hundred of years.
Khmer though the similarity of Thai culture to the Khmer because of the Khmer influence to the Thai and Thai have been influence aback to Khmer.
Khmer have been credit to many thing of what we have take from Thailand. a good example is the Pin Peat Orchestra which was believe originated in Cambodia but was loss and take it back from the Siem then that why Khmer people call it Pleang Siem instead of the word Pin Peat. Khmer watching Thai movie listen to Thai music and using Thai product.
Khmer Though Siam is Thief because of the their invasion and burn Angkor City, many wars with Siam and the lose of Long Vaek!!! But it is the past!!! to proved that is Khmer watching Thai movie listen to Thai music and using Thai product and that is all like or love.
Thai people though the similarity of the Khmer culture to the Thai because of the Khmer dominated the Khorm empire culture. and later live under influence of the Siam Empire.
Thai Though Khmer is Black people, fighting each other. Stolen their culture claim as their mind. Their hateness just appear when Khmer register more and more Khmer Culture to the word heritage the the world recognize that. But of cause their nationalism just used for gain some Thai political power only! and that is Thai political crisis!! and taking Khmer to involve with!!
I suggested Thai people should learn more about the truth and try not to be used by any Thai political!!! and Please pay some respect to Khmer race and do not Selfish!!
