Have questions or resources regarding Khmer Culture? This forum is all about the Kingdom of Cambodia's culture. Khmer language, Cambodian weddings, French influence, Cambodian architecture, Cambodian politics, Khmer customs, etc? This is the place. Living in Cambodia can cause you to experience a whole new level of culture shock, so feel free to talk about all things related to the Khmer people, and their traditions. And if you want something in Khmer script translated into English, you will probably find what you need.

The Tourism Ministry has urged tourism departments in all provinces and tour operators across the country to promote the Sangkranta festivals widely to attract locals and foreigners to the events.

The sixth event of its kind since it started in 2013, the Angkor Sangkranta will run from Saturday to Monday, the days of the Khmer New Year, according to the Union of Youth Federations of Cambodia (UYFC). The body is responsible for managing and organising the Angkor Sangkranta in Siem Reap province.

Other provinces would hold the Sangkranta festival this year, said Sok Sabayna of UYFC’s executive committee, adding that about two million of Cambodian and foreign tourists were expected to attend the Angkor Sangkranta festivals.
Other provinces holding the festivals this year include Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, Kandal, Prey Veng, Ratanakkiri, Mondulkiri, Kratie and Kampong Chhnang, along with Phnom Penh.

The events are expected to generate about $200 million from tourism.
