I haven't been here long enough to understand the local sense of humor.
It seems that they laugh at what we also find funny, in fact people here laugh a lot.

I also noticed that they will laugh if you have an accident or if a sudden unfortunate event takes place around them, like someone falling or slipping, or a dog getting hurt.

However, in those cases they don't laugh because they find what happens funny; they laugh to mask their embarrassment or their ineptitude to cope with the specific situation, or they might laugh because they simply don't know to react to the given situation.

I think Cambodian people don't have any sense of humour particulary upon themselves, nor self derision...

It is very important for the people of Cambodia to preserve their dignity, not to "lose face".  Making jokes about themselves is not consistent with this concept.

However, it cannot be said that they do not. But because of their whole life-attitude - avoiding conflicts and disgrace - are their jokes also soft and restrained.

@ToCamb2012: I love your perspective and I think you are on point. I have also noticed that gentleness about the people here. They treat us with great respect, and honor is important to them.They go to great length to avoid losing face.
These elements have helped me in resolving some serious issues with them where all of us 'kept the face' and we have now become friends: a definite win-win situation.

I have great fun with my Cambodian friends and we laugh a lot about all kinds of situations. But that could be because I like to keep things light and funny, myself.

Thank  you for your great reminder.

Everyone has a sense of humour you need to shine radiance a smile is all you need along with a few giggles works wonders life as all about Carma ask an Asian what they are thinking they will tell you I don't think anything they are as bright as us but tend not to worry.
