Cambodia is famous for its varied wildlife and its natural resources. The region of Pailin, which borders upon Thailand, is rich in precious stones. The resource is exploited by the Khmer-Kola, who, are of Burmese origin, and who have inhabited this region for generations. Their major activity is precious stone mining. They are known as the masters of the trade.

Folk dances have been created for virtually all aspects of Cambodian rural life and the interaction between nature and Cambodian rural communities. The original performance of this dance was adapted from a tale involving a peacock and a hunter, and was danced with both dancing and chasing actions. When it was brought to the University of Fine Arts, some of the original elements were eliminated and some new elements were added. The theme was changed and now emphasizes courting action
This folk dance is devoted to the peacocks found in the area surrounding the city of Pailin in Northwestern Cambodia. In this dance you will observe the peacock and peahen are flying and communicating joyfully with each other.
