Other than that the techniques, the rules, and the ring are exactly the same. To me their is little to no difference. Khmer too do their own wai kru, as does Burma. Tomoi is really Muay Thai. The number one Muay Thai magazine in Malayasia is Boxxtomoi. I have a couple of recent issues my friend gets for me in Malaysia and people like Yodsaenklai are featured in it. The who started it first discussion ultimately doesn't lead any where as there really is no conclusive evidence for either being there first but Thailand without a doubt perfected it.

It's easy to say that they're essentially the same, but there has to be some distinctions, significant or not, that separates on practice from the other.

Sorry for the misspelling. Links for the debate? It's really a sincerely felt feeling. I can find some for you I suppose. It still sparks off in some Thai and Khemer language forums. The first time I became aware of how heated it truly was is back in the days of Jean Charles Skarbowsky fighting Eh Phuthong the 4-5 times, each time losing. And it ended almost the same way every time elbow cut stoppage against Skarbowsky. It ended up that Eh was invited to King's Birthday and fought Suriya Plonchet. Suriya beat him pretty easily. Nearly ancient history that cycle of events but the rivalry between Khemer and Thai is very much alive. That should be Khemer Boxing. Sorry for the misspelling. Links for the debate?

I'd like to read about it. I don't know much about Khemboxing. Haha, any links to these debates online? I’d like to read about it. I don’t know much about Khemboxing.

There's no difference between that and Muay Thai. The Lao thing is interesting since a lot of Thaiboxers can claim legit Lao heritage. The typical debate is which came first Khemboxing or Thaiboxing.
