The 3 Days of the Khmer New Year (Traditional Celebrations)

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

yeah ill upload a few pics from this year tomorrow, it was far too hot to be playing games and stuff this year so spent most of it in the shade drinking and exploring other villages which was a lot of fun as i got to see a lot more of the surrounding country etc and the night times are always fun with the music and dancing :thumb:

Please don't get offended by this Jamie, to be honest, all above pictures you posted completely showed nothing about Khmer New Year.
បើសិនធ្វើចេះ ចេះឲ្យគេកោត បើសិនធ្វើឆោត ឆោតឲ្យគេអាណិត។

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.
