Angkor Greenery: When Moss Purifies Air and Heal Souls

SIEM REAP – This year’s monsoon season has left Cambodia with plenty of rainfall, allowing greenery to proliferate in many regions such as Angkor Archaeological Park.

Particularly at the temples, moss grown on stones has created a unique natural atmosphere, attracting visitors from across the country, and grabbing attention on the internet.

“More than making the air clean, the moss here also protects the temple stones from quickly deteriorating”, said Hang Peou, director-general of the APSARA National Authority, a government body tasked to preserve and develop Angkor Park.

The lush landscape of Angkor has also swayed public opinion on rainy seasons. Once thought as a challenging time to travel, rainy seasons or green seasons have gradually gained popularity as a time to enjoy the revitalisation of nature.

“When life hurts, Siem Reap heals”, has become a trending sentence among many young Cambodian social media users.

Hun Sen Calls for Crackdown on Thai Goods Smuggling, Urges Riel Usage

PHNOM PENH — Senate President Hun Sen has called on the government to crack down on the smuggling of Thai goods into Cambodia despite the ongoing border closure.

"I urge the government and authorities at all levels to take action and eliminate any officials and traders who continue to smuggle Thai goods into the country while the border remains officially closed," Hun Sen wrote in a Facebook post on October 8.

He added that such actions not only damage Cambodia's interests but also invite ridicule, as people suggest Cambodia cannot function without Thai products.

The senate president warned that, despite no longer serving as prime minister, he expects his directives to be taken seriously. "People should not assume 'when the cat's away, the mice will play,'" he cautioned.

Hun Sen also urged Cambodians to stop pricing wages, products, and services in Thai baht.

"From now on, please quote prices in riel or US dollars, preferably in riel to strengthen our national currency," he emphasized.

"Those who truly love their country should honor the banknotes bearing the images of our King Father, Queen Mother, and His Majesty the King."

He noted that within approximately two hours of his Oct. 6 message, residents in border provinces with Thailand had rushed to exchange Thai baht for riel.

"It is encouraging that Cambodian citizens are using the riel on their own soil. This helps avoid financial losses and prevents the riel from becoming a national vulnerability when foreign currencies are weaponized as political tools," he wrote.

While promoting use of the national currency, Hun Sen appealed to money changers to trade at fair market rates rather than exploiting the situation by devaluing the baht and inflating the riel.

The senate president also revealed that some Cambodians working in Thailand have been unable to withdraw money from their Thai bank accounts, a situation he cited as evidence of how reliance on Thai currency harms Cambodian workers abroad and could similarly harm those at home if baht usage continues.

For much of its modern history, Thailand stood as one of Southeast Asia’s anchors—a country whose diplomacy, restraint, and adherence to regional norms gave weight to ASEAN’s promise of peace through consensus. Yet the 2025 border conflict with Cambodia has unsettled that legacy, forcing both Bangkok and ASEAN to reckon with how far the region’s founding member has drifted from its own rules-based ideals.
