Saray Sakana’s profile was written originally by one of her big fans – Samrach who was an Angkorthom.US Admin for our old web site in 2007. He interviewed her mother via telephone from France while Sakana was busy shooting for a movie. Because of her popularity and requests from her fans while she was performing in USA, we decided to edit part of the profile to bring it up to date but kept most of the original wordings intact and posted it again on Angkorthom Social (editorial).
