alright let me answer this for you before this get into a country vs country thing.. (and any one who think i'm wrong please correct me ok)...
like tangmoe said, the first angkor was not a temple but the name of the princess who is also from Cambodia...
now as for the reason why they showed angkor temple is because it is a sacred place.. so sacred that the spirits or guards that live in that temple are very possesive of things belonging to both Angkor and Cambodia.... now if you are a believer of the khmer religion which is also hindu and buddhism (with more hindu mix) then you would know and believe that khmer are very possesive of their religions items... which is why to have or to steal an ancient statue from cambodia is consider very risky and not a thing to do, to do so you would be cursed.... the ah tan (curse) of statues from cambodia is alot stronger then ah tan from anywhere.. (again correct me if i am wrong)....
so it is not about being racist (not saying that is what you mean) and it's not about picking on a particular country... but that is what it is believed about Angkor Temple... the atan there is tooo strong...
as for why not an ancient temple in thailand? well angkor was said to be built anywhere from 800-1200(?) AD... making it one or THE oldest temple in southeast asia.... thailand oldest temple was built sometime in the 17th century... So which temple in which country do you think has the strongest ah tan? Angkor of course.. and also the exact location of where angkor was built, it is said to astromically aligned with heaven but the layout and structures are said to be sculped for demons and deities...
a better understanding?
