lol, Angkor Wat is outside the city of Siem Reap, which basically translates to "Thailand defeated"

That converts to approx 7,500,000 Vietnamese dong for those looking for the dollar/dong conversion

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Hua Quoc Anh, a Vietnamese makeup artist and content creator, posted a TikTok of his photo shoot at Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, the second-largest city in Cambodia.

On Wednesday, the Vietnamese government charged Quoc Anh with providing "false information" and "insulting the reputation of agencies organizations, honor and dignity of individuals," per Lao Dong.

The Vietnamese government said Quoc Anh was required to "strictly comply with relevant legal regulations when using the internet" and had to use it in a "responsible, civilized, progressive" manner, per Lao Dong.

In the same post, he included a photo of himself outside Vietnam's Department of Information and Communication in the capital Ho Chi Minh City.

Phil Robertson, the deputy Asia director for Human Rights Watch, told the Japanese news agency Nikkei that the incident was "ridiculous."

In September, Indonesia sentenced a woman to two years in jail after she posted a video saying an Islamic phrase and eating pork on TikTok.
