Remember Remember the Twelfth of November

Only a week late, but we have managed to catch some fireworks. We’re back in Phnom Penh after a brief trip down to the South Coast. This week is the water festival, as well as being Independence Day, and a Full Moon. So it’s all happening in Phnom Penh.

The Bon Om Thook water festival celebrates the changing direction of the Tonle Sap River at the end of the wet season. Don’t ask me how that works, but they have a big party anyway. As a well as a boat race with teams from each different province, big illumated floats going up and down the river at night a bit like a Disney Parade, and a big firework display.
