Khmer silk was found in the early first century in the Angkor period. In this period Khmer silk played in a very significant role in Cambodian culture. In Angkor period Khmer silk is very expensive that only a rich family or the royal can afford to have Khmer silk as their cloth. Also in this period Khmer silk was used as a trade for land and slaves. However now a day Khmer silk is not as popular as before, but the price of Khmer silk is still expensive as before and Khmer silk has been selling the other country with a very high price because of this Khmer silk is very popular in the rural provinces. Now a day Cambodia's modern silk-weaving centers are Takeo, Battambang, Beanteay Meanchey, Siem Reap and Kampot provinces.
