Land of Cambodia

Cambodia used to be the jewel and was once known as Khmer Empire of Southeast Asia before Thailand, Laos and Vietnam invasion. Thai were Chinese from Nanchoa province which is known as Tai. They invaded west part of Cambodia and became a country in 1350(-3?). Since then,Thais adopted Khmer tradition, food, and language from the 13th century. Laos and Vietnamese people were ethnic minorities of southern China. Vietnam aka Annam gradually pushed downward and illegally took Cambodian ancestrial territory(Khmer Krom) in June 1949 and became what is known as South Vietnam today.
