Khmer New Year 2024: An incredible and unforgettable experience in Siem Reap, Cambodia. This video was filmed on the 13th of April the first day of the festival. There are 3 days of celebration:
- Moha Sangkran initiates the celebration, focusing on cleansing and ancestral homage.
- Vanabot follows, emphasizing charity and community support. It's a day of giving and compassion, often involving donations to temples and the less fortunate.
- Finally, Leung Sakk concludes the festivities with family reunions, feasting, and cultural performances. These days embody the essence of gratitude, unity, and artistic preservation.

I’ve shown the following locations:
- BBU Street: [ Ссылка ]
- Royal Independence Gardens: [ Ссылка ]
- Pub Street: [ Ссылка ]
- Beer Yard: [ Ссылка ]

Happy New Year/ sursedey chnam thmey!
