Wrong information on CNN Facebook for Angkor Wat, Cambodia

source: M. Tourism

Many people, especially Cambodians, suffered a rude shock yesterday (18 June, 2014) when CNN International posted pictures of Cambodian temple ruins on their Facebook page, under the caption, 'Thailand's Angkor Wat is only no. 6 - so what's the world's top landmark?' 

That was regarded to be highly unacceptable by many who had expressed disgust since CNN International is of high repute. The Ministry of Tourism promptly wrote to CNN International to seek an explanation and for immediate redress.  We have since received these two mails apologising for the mistake made.  

We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for caring and urge that you join us in accepting the mistake on the CNN International facebook page to be an innocent human error.
