Welcome! My name is Srei Sophontevy. I was born in Cambodia in 1969 but due to events in my life I grew up in English speaking countries. That said I am Khmer in my heart. I work and pray for my birth country every day. My family name is Srei. We put our family name first in Cambodia. Here is my name in the Khmer language: I study Southeast Asian history, focusing primarily on Cambodia, Laos and Thailand (extending into Myanmar and Vietnam on occasion).
