who is smarter ? khmer or thai
how come in phuket the thais in 7/11 on bangla road ( richest street in Thailand from farang money) cannot speak 3 words of English and in Cambodia, small citys/ like Kampot, Kep and weird out of it places like an near abandoned island of sihinoukville they can speak near fluent english?
Khmer, gotta know more than a local language in order to survive. Khmer known this ....so yeah they gotta learn......
Don't relax there, you can look even further afield for examples...

so the ability to adapt and learn from your surroundings doesn't make one smarter???Spigzy wrote:Don't relax there, you can look even further afield for examples...
Back on topic, I think the question is simply too vague - if you're measuring on measurable/quantifiable educational standards, I'd assume that Thailand comes out way on top. If you're looking at English language skills, again I know Thais and Cambodians both with excellent English skills that as rebo mentioned even outshine those of many of my fellow English countrymen.
As far as "Smarts" go, even poorer Cambodians still have those - simple example on when the country's exchange rates move and create an opportunity because banks are slow to react; the guy on the street is there with his sackful of riel or dollars swapping them over to make the tiniest gain. A Cambodian farmer knows a darn sight more than me about his rice crops; we're all smarter than others in some degree, even Vlad. True story.

It all depends what you mean by 'smarter'. On the whole, I'd say Thais (in Bangkok, at any rate) are more well-dressed than Khmer (in PP). Then again, if you are going to a wedding...

I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen and uncertainty
and potential mental losses.
Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the internet become more few?
How many hands have I shaked? They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.
I know that the human being and the fish can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope, where our
wings take dream. Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher! Make the pie higher!
The Thai are wealthier and more educated and the Khmer are more intelligent and motivated. Khmer actually had their own civilization and a complete culture whereas the Thai just picked up elements of other cultures and called it their own. The Khmer were heavily influenced by outside cultures but their true spirit is completely indigenuous.
Khmer built Angkor Wat. If they could do that they can do anything.
