Cambodia News (Siem Reap): On the morning of 7 April 2023, the Ministry of Water Resources reported that a heavy storm of rain and strong winds caused damage in 6 districts of Siem Reap province.
According to preliminary information, the sudden arrival of dense rainfall combined with gusts of strong winds blew down about 30 stalls along the riverfront in Siem Reap, and 15 open houses and 3 houses collapsed or had their roofs blown off.

It should also be noted that only a week beforehand, on 29 March 2023, the same weather pattern already caused extensive damage in Siem Reap,(one person was killed and others were injured), just when the city is preparing to celebrate the Khmer New Year.
The two natural disasters have caused the public to lament that this year has not been lucky for the new year celebrations in Siem Reap.
