PM seeks ban on water gun games during KNY after foreign tourist injured
Re: PM seeks ban on water gun games during KNY after foreign tourist injured
Well, it's that time of the year and the water and the talc are going to be flying around again.
I seem to remember Wat Phnom being a hotspot, and also a few streets around Riverside - street 5/136, I think.
As we have a new young HE, perhaps he will allow it - his father was not impressed with it at all.

All sorts of water play and flour throwing were banned a couple of weeks back. Not sure if they will allow it at Wat Phnom.Doc67 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 11:05 am Well, it's that time of the year and the water and the talc are going to be flying around again.

Well so much for that "ban" on water pistols etc. I was in the central city this evening and it was as wild as I've ever seen it. All good fun but I'm glad I was in a car.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: PM seeks ban on water gun games during KNY after foreign tourist injured
Anyone in a tuktuk was getting a soaking last night in the central area. St 13 was blocked with sodden revellers from St 110 southwards. No Grabs available. Walking around I did not get very wet if I avoided the big party areas. Many bars closed. Many young punks racing around and zigzagging on motos. That's the dangerous part.

11am Sunday at the cafe at Wat Phnom playground. Lots of waterguns, talc and watertight phone bags for sale. Police seem oblivious to any restrictions on their use lol.
My kids are waiting for the arrival of the water truck and we'll probably come back tomorrow or Tuesday with their waterguns if it's all business as usual per soaking everyone

So water splashing is banned in Phnom Penh, but there will be a water truck, that's how serious they are with the ban.IraHayes wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2024 11:20 am 11am Sunday at the cafe at Wat Phnom playground.

Re: PM seeks ban on water gun games during KNY after foreign tourist injured
To be fair, having water guns and water trucks in a designated and cordoned off area where people can have a great time getting soaking wet while not putting passing motorists in danger is where the government should be moving towards. Initially it would require a pretty big effort by law enforcement officers to warn offenders and then confiscate the hosepipes, water guns etc. and issue fines but the message will eventually get through I think.Alex wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2024 4:29 pmSo water splashing is banned in Phnom Penh, but there will be a water truck, that's how serious they are with the ban.IraHayes wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2024 11:20 am 11am Sunday at the cafe at Wat Phnom playground.

Depends on how serious they are about putting an end to the roadside soakings of road users and the accompanying accidents that they cause.
