via Khmer Times, 03 February 2022: A replica of the Angkor temples in a Da Nang theme park has gotten Cambodians riled up. This happens often, the last time being an alleged replica built in Thailand’s Buriram province.
An Angkor Wat “replica” in the center of Da Nang, Vietnam, is trying to attract International tourists to visit Vietnam without having to “cross the border” to visit the real Angkor Wat in Cambodia because they built a copy the architectural model of Angkor Wat of Cambodia as the original version, which is the most unique historical-cultural archeology.
On January 29, 2022, a Facebook account called Phnom Rithi posted a video of Vietnamese television and wrote “In the future, it will be easier for the Khmer Krom to not spend time crossing the country to visit Angkor Wat in Siem Reap because the Vietnamese have the the right to build the Khmer temple of Angkor in the theme park in Da Nang province.
The same Facebook account states that Vietnam has already asked for permission from the Ministry to help spread the culture and complete the construction and was reportedly already Inaugurated for tourists.
