    I was interested in this because I spent a lot of time in Thailand, loved it, and want to go back sometime in the next decade. I also want to go to Cambodia and Vietnam. And it’s helpful to know what kind of milieu you’re stepping into.

    Also…I’ve only seen bits of Luna Oi before watching this entire thing, but she kinda cracks me up.

    I watched that, too. Luna is ornery.

    “…She is the translator of Curriculum of the Basic Principles of Marxism-Leninism Part 1, a Vietnamese university textbook on Marxism-Leninism for students not majoring in Marxism-Leninism.

    … In 2019, Luna Oi claimed that what she really wanted was anarchism, with “[Marxism-Leninism] during the revolution time”…”

    She didn’t really explain what the dispute is about, though. I don’t understand why either country would really care about the temple per se. It’s a Hindu temple.

    What was most interesting was the feud between the two ruling oligarchic families. They seemed to be getting along fine until this episode, and now the Cambodian billionaires are destroying the political power of the Thai billionaires. What’s that all about?
