30 Hottest Khmer and Cambodian Models

By Tibs →
Khmer beauty is very unique: If you are familiar with Cambodia, you should be able to easily recognize a Cambodian girl among any other Asians. Unfortunately, there are not so many sexy Cambodian models because the country is still conservative. Famous actresses and singers are usually shy with their bodies. Showing too much skin, for instance with bikini or lingerie photos could draw criticism from the public. Hun Sen, the Prime Minister of Cambodia, forbids his country to participate in international beauty pageants like Miss Universe. As a result, most of the hot models listed here are Cambodian girls from mixed heritage and/or Cambodian girls living abroad. Among them, there are several "Khmerican", a term to designate American girls from Cambodian origin. I was still able to find several beautiful Cambodian models who are based in Cambodia and not abroad. Some were discovered with the TV show.

In general, they will use the Decléor brand from France, meaning all therapists receive similar training. To help you figure out where to get a luxury massage in Jakarta, I reviewed below all the spas located in the city's best 5-star hotels . In particular, I indicated the prices of the most popular treatments. If the price changes, please don't hesitate to leave a comment below.
