The Celebration of Water Festival Canceled

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

So they won't close the roads? Thank fuck for that. My apartment was locked in last time and I had to walk all the way to the pickled parrot and stay there drinking for 3 days.

What in God's name does your previous post have to do with the OP? Damnable facebook mentality.

If I had a zebra, I would paint the black bits white, glue a toilet roll tube to its head, cover it with glitter, and sell it as a unicorn.

The directive states that "the preparation for the Water Festival in the provinces can be held normally, following tradition and based on the ability of the organizing authorities."
Did I get this right ? Water levels are ok for the festival in the provinces, but not in PP ?
Not quite. You missed the important bit at the end of the sentence, "based on the ability of the organizing authorities".
Ability meaning which party controls the province.

Thanks for the translation. I could see it was in code, but I'm not yet fluent in officialspeak.
Do we know which provinces could have a water festival according to this "ability" ? Most smaller towns sound like a more appealing destination than PP anyway.
