Cambodia This is Cambodia during the Vietnamese occupation in the 1980s. The script is definitely Khmer (I speak the language). The soldier and his family are probably Vietnamese, although they could be Cambodian. (Contrast with the next photo of the children who are clearly Khmer.) I don't think this scene is about the struggle against poverty. (This family were probably amongst the more fortunate and better off in Cambodia at the time.) It is about the struggle to find meaning, identity and humanity in the vacuum of war, genocide and foreign occupation. | asahel | Australia | 1 | |

Cambodia Definitely not Vietnam. I believe the script is Khmer (Cambodian), not Thai. | tjhoiland | Pennsylvania, USA | ||
Thailand/Laos It can be either one, due to the fact that when they pass the billboard, there is writing on it. I am Laos and I can point out Laos/Thai characters. I can not read it but Thai and Laos characters in lettering is very similar, if not the same. Plus, I've visited Laos and Thailand numerous times and I can confirm that the soldiers and women wear that kind of clothing. The women also sit that way on a moped because of their long skirts that they have to wear for school or just to be professional. I do not believe this can be Vietnam or Cambodia. | S.P | NJ |
