Fireworks in Phnom Penh

Post by rozzieoz »

We are staying in PP tonight and just saw some amazing fireworks in the city - away from the river.
Does anyone know what they were about?
Some really cool fireworks!

The fireworks displays in PP are usually pretty impressive.

Is it a public holiday or someone importants birthday or something today?

The ones for the King Mother's birthday were better, and obviously closer to Riverside. I should check when the King's birthday is. Wait, we already had that, were there fireworks?

Yup every year. My daughters birthday is the 14th may as well and I always tell her I bought the fireworks for her. LOL.

Yes, I am a miserable old git but for me all fireworks are a waste of money, especially in a country like Vietnam. Germany spent 133 million Euros on fireworks last year, the things that money could be used for.....
