Words from the CEO of Golden Boat Press, Inc.:

Golden Boat Press takes its name from the revered hill in Tragnel, Kampong Chhnang called Phnom Touk Meas, which is translated as Golden Boat Hill. Tragnel, the birthplace of the renowned folk tale Neang Kongrey, holds special significance to my family as it is where my father originates. Departing his hometown at the age of 18 in pursuit of education and a promising future, he eventually found himself in Pailin, Battambang, where he crossed paths with my mother.

​

Amid the harrowing era of the Democratic Kampuchea, my father, among others, faced the coercive wrath of soldiers who, at gunpoint, compelled them to raze temples and libraries in Battambang, consigning books, artifacts, relics, and edifices that embodied Khmer civilizations to flames. The burden of guilt weighed heavily on him from that moment onwards. Thus, in an effort to assuage his remorse, I established Golden Boat Press with the mission to recover those lost repositories of knowledge while also unearthing new ones. In a world devoid of illumination, darkness, coldness, and lifelessness reign. At Golden Boat Press, we endeavor to be purveyors of light, illuminating the path to knowledge and understanding.
