They may have cleared up most of the rubbish, but they need to do some serious cleaning of the pavements, they are caked in filth. A few days and a few teams with pressure washers and it'll be shining in no time.

I seriously hope the won't just let rain clean it in 6 months time.

Khmers do not have any concerns about pollution, in fact the youngsters are worts than the previous generations. Cambodia is a fourth world country, and it is not about to change.

More doom and gloom thrown on the Water Festival. What a bunch of curmudgeons there are on here. I thought it was a fine festival. Anyone complaining about garbage obviously hasn't been here to notice improvements.

I have been positive about it, save for the fireworks, which I thought were a bit dull. Otherwise, 5 stars all round.

I was simply suggesting that a few days with a few cleaning teams are required to return the the park and Sisowath quay (aka "the prom") to a clean condition. Detergent and pressure washers will do a decent enough job. There are areas that are black with filth, and it will not clean itself.

Let's see if the competent authorities notice it and fix it. Or of they just ignore it as they won't be walking on it anytime soon.

Anyway, my question is why were there so many heavily armed police marching up and down the streets? Is there a terrorist threat that I'm unaware of?

FWIW...13 years ago over 500 people died in a electro stampede on Day 2 of WF. Since then basically no WF except for 2 small ones in 2018/19.

So, this was the first biggie in 13 years and still smaller than 09/10....hence security to prevent the total f.up of 2010.

Saw parts of it get cleaned last night.

Very glad to hear it. Those tiles should come up quite nicely. I'll be walking through Botum park in a while, looking forward to seeing their progress.

Pressure hoses operating now opposite Bgari/Metro area. The Herbalife chairs also cleaned up (and Herbalife motifs painted over).
