Kunthea Tak

Kunthea Tak, a native Cambodian with a deep passion for Khmer Literature, holds a Bachelor’s degree from the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP). Her journey with Khmer culture, history, and literature began in childhood and has remained at the heart of her life’s path. Growing up, she was particularly drawn to the timeless melodies of oldies music, which she now cherishes as a special gift. This connection to the past has sparked her curiosity about the roots of the language, history, poetry, and literature, shaping her understanding of Cambodia’s rich cultural heritage.
