Normally I think there are some cupboards in the kitchen, way too few but normally have some.
Bathrooms - yeah you are right, the only reason i can think of is because these are wet rooms and after a Khmer person uses it there is water absolutely everywhere. A metal cabinet would!be rusted in no time and a wooden cabinet would rot away.
Concrete and tiles are much more resilient.
