Water Festival in Cambodia. 5-7 November 2014

Water Festival in Cambodia is celebrated every year, on the full moon of the Buddhist month of Kadeuk (usually in November).  It lasts three days

  filled with traditional boat races, fireworks, parties and illuminated flower compositions (Loy Pratip) floating in the rivers. Marking the end of the rainy season, Water Festival is one of the most important Khmer holidays. This year’s  celebration is very special – the Festival is officially back in the calendar for the first time since 2010 tragedy, when a bridge in Phnom Penh collapsed under the weight of spectators and took lives of over 300 people.

One of the major events of the festival is Bon Om Touk - boat races. 

Boat crews train for weeks before the festival. For the first two days, races are run with two boats each. On the last day all the boats take to the river to compete. During the holiday river banks are filled with thousands of people. It is a family holiday, and many young people come to their hometowns to celebrate it with their parents. In the evenings locals and guests of Cambodia enjoy street performances and great Cambodian food. Traditional festival dish is called Auk Ambok – rice with coconut and banana. For this dish rice is fried with the husk, and then pounded with a giant pestle to remove the husks.

Water Festival commemorates traditional Khmer dependence on the waters of Tonle Sap river. For centuries it has been providing Cambodia with food, water, shelter and transportation routes. It is a very happy holiday with music, fireworks, tasty food and family gatherings. If you are in Cambodia during the festival – don’t miss going down to the river, letting your Loy Pratip to float and making a wish. Who knows, maybe river goddess with hear it?

Happy Day

Paris Peace Agreement Day October 23rd

If you are in Cambodia on 23rd October - take it easy: banks and offices (apart from tour companies) will be closed. The country is celebrating Paris Peace Agreement Day. In some way this holiday marks an anniversary of “New Cambodia” as we know it now. On 23rd October 1991 peace documents signed in Paris (hence the name of the holiday) marked not only the end of the Cambodian-Vietnamese war, but also the end of communistic era. Two years later the country held its first Democratic elections.

In 2004 the government cancelled the holiday, and it was brought back on the list of Cambodian National holidays only in 2013. Even after the Peace Agreement was signed, remaining Khmer Rouge soldiers continued to fight, and real peace came to Cambodia only at the end of 1990s.

Nevertheless for many citizens 23rd October is a very important day when country’s political direction had changed, opening Cambodia to the rest of the world, and making nowadays development and growing prosperity possible.
