Khmer culture and Thai culture are both very old and important in Southeast Asia. But historically, Khmer civilization is older as a major organized culture and empire. Here is a simple explanation:

πŸ›οΈ Khmer Culture

Khmer civilization dates back more than 1,500–2,000 years.

Early kingdoms: Funan (around 1st century CE) and Chenla (6th–8th century).

The Angkor Empire (802–1431) was one of the most powerful empires in Southeast Asia.

Famous achievements:

Angkor Wat

Advanced irrigation systems

Khmer architecture, art, and writing.

🐘 Thai Culture

Thai people migrated from southern China into mainland Southeast Asia around the 10th–13th centuries.

The first major Thai kingdom was Sukhothai (1238–1438).

Later came Ayutthaya (1351–1767) and then modern Thailand.

Thai culture developed later but was influenced by Khmer, Mon, and Indian civilizations.

πŸ“œ Simple Timeline

Khmer civilizations: ~1st century CE or earlier

Angkor Empire: 9th–15th century

Thai kingdoms begin: 13th century

βœ… Conclusion:
Historically, Khmer culture is older than Thai culture as a major civilization in Southeast Asia.
