Whether you are off to the family village or hunkering down waiting for it to blow over, the annual migration at Khmer New Year is hard to ignore. Some places will be crowded with people and others will be more or less closed down over the New Year week.
Unfortunately, over the next few weeks, there will also be more road accidents than usual, and traditionally there is an increase in bag and phone snatching and petty crime in the period before the holidays. Take care out there.

Government to Offer Free Public Bus Service during Khmer New Year
AKP Phnom Penh, April 04, 2023 --

The public will have access to free-of-charge public bus service in Phnom Penh and back and forth between the capital and provinces during the upcoming Khmer New Year.

The announcement was made in a letter issued by Phnom Penh Administration on April 3, adding that 345 buses will be used to provide the free service on April 13-17.

The three-day celebration of the Khmer New Year, the Year of Rabbit, will start on April 14.

Flocks of people are set to return to their homeland, go to pagoda, travel to different tourism destinations, and join various entertainment activities to observe the New Year.

The Royal Government annually provides the free bus service to help reduce people's travel cost during one of the biggest holidays of the country.

I was thinking of setting out on a road trip/destruction derby funded by bag snatching and phone thefts and participating in the seasonal petty crime recreational activities
