A Cambodian boy who became an internet star worldwide has been invited on a three-day trip to Beijing, after a video showing him speaking multiple languages and dialects went viral in China.
Thaksin, whose age is unknown, was filmed hawking souvenirs first in fluent Cantonese, then in Mandarin, Japanese, French, Thai, Spanish, German, Filipino and Malay, by a Malaysian tourist at the Ta Prohm temple in Angkor Wat.
In another video widely shared on Chinese social media, he and his brother were filmed answering questions in fluent Mandarin.
