Initially, the museum was inaugurated to open to visiting by national and international tourists and public during 1986s under highly presidency by Preah Borom Ratanak Kaudh (His Majesty King Norodom Sihanouk). After the country was in turmoil due to the war between 1975-1979, the museum was converted to prison for detaining inmates of Khmer rough regime. Some objects here were leaved scattered in the building. Some objects were sent to be kept in Phnom Penh Museum before the war happened, especially the objects made of metals.

Until 1997, the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts, with financial assistance from Seila-Carere program, some parts of the building were also repaired, and a warehouse was constructed to store those objects. In 2009, The Royal Government of Cambodia has made efforts to expand the exhibition space by building new wings on both sides of the building and expanding a daylight room.

A student, visited and was focusing on the exhibited stone scriptures, revealed personal view and importance of the museum that, it is considered an old museum, which is a vital knowledge warehouse for being studied, researched by himself, friends, as well as other students inside and outside the province.

It should be noted that, the organization and exhibition here are mainly aimed to make visited visitors to know a classical civilization, while Battambang province has a “pre-historical site, Laang Spean”, temples and artifacts from pre-Angkorian times until the middle of the 20th century.

Thailand Promotes Usage of Joint Visa with Cambodia and Other 4 Countries

Thailand wants to join with Cambodia, Loa, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Myanmar in creating a joint visa area in order to make foreign tourists are able to ask for single visa, but are able to visit 6 countries.

The policy of joint visa between six countries is compared to a Schengen Visa in Asian style. Schengen Visa allows the passengers to move freely among the countries such as Austria, Portugal, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Greece and other European countries without having to apply for a visa several times a year. In Europe, Schengen visa allows tourists to move freely between 27 countries.

Thailand wants to take advantage of the joint visa policy to negotiate with EU countries towards a visa waiver agreement between Schengen and ASEAN visas.

If this initiative is succeeded, tourists simply apply for a visa in one of the six countries, including Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos and Malaysia, to be able to travel and visit the rest of the country freely. One-entry visa is the most ambitious part of Thai Prime Minister Setha Thawisin's long-term tourism promotion initiative.

Most leaders of the other five countries have responded positively to Thailand's joint visa initiative. Six Southeast Asian countries welcomed 70 million international visitors by 2023, of which Thailand and Malaysia were accounted for more than 50 percent of the total tourist arrivals and revenue of about $ 48 billion.

Prime Minister Setha's administration aims to welcome 80 million international tourists by 2027, double increase, to be achieved in 2019.
Since coming to power in July 2023, the Thai Prime Minister has promoted a number of visa liberalization policies to attract tourists, such as a bilateral visa waiver with China.

Temporary visa waivers for tourists from India, Taiwan and Kazakhstan. Meanwhile, Thailand is also considering opening casinos in tourist and entertainment areas to increase revenue. Tourism is an industry that brings many economic benefits to Thailand, creating 20% of total employment.

Tourism revenue accounts for 12 percent of the country's $ 500 billion GDP, according to the Bangkok Post. However, the prospect of using a joint visa remains a challenge. According to Professor Thitinan Pongsudhirak at Chulalongkorn University, a joint visa agreement can be difficult and challenging because countries must meet common standards in immigration policy, and the six countries still have unequal tourist records.

Benefits of Straw in Agriculture

After the rice harvested season is over, what we see left in the rice fields are a lot of straws.

Straw is a type of an agricultural waste which has immense importance in the agricultural sector.

Farmers sometimes burn straw in the rice fields, which cause many environmental problems, such as air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions (make rise to earth heat).

At the same time, farmers are able to earn extra income from the sale of those straws, or can keep it for use, such as:

- Grow straw mushrooms
- Cover soil
- Make compost
- Food for animals
