I just have a feeling every year it’s gonna get bigger and a lot more tourists gonna be going to Cambodia just for this new years invent it’s just gonna get more crazy…. Wait for it.
Yes, the laughs, and the party. What a way to celebrate the new year! 🎉 We are stuck in Sweden this year and cannot go. 😭 But we are all with you in spirit and hope that you party hard for us too. 😇💜
Been to Siem Reap and Phnom Penh around 10 years ago, there was no water festival there yet.. but I had seen that water festival in Myanmar and Thailand.. Thingyan and Songkran
Water splashing has always been part of our new year celebrations aside dancing, powder pouring, breaking cray pots, climbing banana trees, blimd fold, chasing , just to name some of it and lots more. I'm 40 years old growing being part of that tradition celebrations. Most of it are celebrating at rural areas mostly in the school area. ❤
@@AsainOverSea when I was there, I think it was called Chnam Thmey (khmer new year) in a temple.. lots of giving food to monks and many other things like music and dancing with big mask but they didn't splash water
@@nonon0n0o definitely not at the right place then. temples are respected in cambodia since the majority of citizens are buddhists. Water fights do happen quite literally every single year, you probably didnt go to the right area and it usually takes place evening-night in popular streets, not temples
@@UdDomm are you saying khmer people only splash water at home? Or where did they play water back then? Because I had been to many places there and was there for 3 weeks, but zero water played anywhere.. I did lots of research before I go as well.. but Chnam Thmey was very different from now for some reason. Also, about temple are respected.. I see khmer people playing water in temples nowadays, it's on youtube. Also, I can't find any video about khmer water festival from 10 years ago on youtube.. most of them are dancing and stuff, like for example this one and more.. don't see any water festival ua-cam.com/video/aQ-GRvEr4UY/v-deo.htmlsi=ZjdKtv41BxvIXcrW
@@nonon0n0o that's completely different from what I said, I said it's common and basically happens every year on popular streets, if you didn't find it then probably at the wrong time and place. Why? Cus I'm a local, been living here for 15 years and i see it absolutely every single year, if u didn't find a festival that ain't my fault 💀. Also why bother comparing to Thailand Myanmar bla bla, traveling just for the sake of comparing which country is better, isn't actual traveling. Oh yea and bad phrasing on my part, they do many ceremonies or festivals in or near temples but not with monks. Monks are respected here
It was definitely a unique experience. Since we come from a country where everybody is aware of personal space and shy away from contact, it was nice to challenge our boundaries. The white stuff was talcum powder that they put on our faces. Strange for us, but a lot less poisonous than the paint in India. 🤣
Hi erik & filippa next time if you want to come back to SEA you should come to visit our original songkran water festival we are based on songkran this country 🇰🇭 are copied and claims everythings from each other country they just copied this festival from thailand least than 10 years ago
@@erikandfilippa 🇹🇭 Some Thais people have a bad idea of wanting culture Cambodia, you can learn a bout history Cambodia. Cambodia is one of the oldest countries in the Asea. Thank you coming Cambodia. 🙏
@@nwyliedavid07 Ah, yeah, true. Yes, that festival is celebrated country winde and I think it is India's biggest festival. There are just so many people celebrating it. When good triumphs over evil, it is cause to celebrate for sure! 😊
No, I would say old and young participate in the water fighting. Kids with their parents and of course a lot of tourists over 30. Many locals of various ages come out for this event. But the waterfighting is something that has become popular in recent years. It's not part of the original tradition. ☺️
Ahh, that must be insane. Hoping we get the chance to be a part of that someday. Haha, I'm enjoying the man bun as long as I can. I'm loosing hair faster than a negligent rabbit farmer.
Please note: On November 22, 2010, the last night of the Cambodian Water Festival. 375 were killed in a stampede at Diamond Bridge What is suspected is that in 2010, they still played the water festival in November and didn't even use the word Songkran. Who said that Khmer has had Songkran for a long time? Play and still play for a month. They've only been replaced for a few years. The Khmer intended to copy Thailand..
Are you dumb? Songkran/Sangkrant is the first day of Khmer New Year (Chol Chhnam Khmer), the first day is called "Moha Sangkrant". Yes the water tradition is inspired by Thailand, as Sangkrant isn't about splashing water. But the splashing water tradition isn't from Thailand, its from Burma's Thingyan festival not Thai songkran. Don't make false accusations. The Khmers have been celebrating Sangkrant for centuries, you can't distort history Thais🤣
it was an accident at that time and we also use the word songkran come to countryside there are star that bring luck and more thing to do at khmer new year a lot of ppl go to there home country also most of it go to siem reap or battambong to have fun at there btw it's fine now in khmer there are no selling to a 14 years old kid to kill ppl in somewhere rn it's safe and also RIP to whose die at there
Just so you know that what you said is all wrong because You didn't even know what is water festival and Khmer new year. They're both totally different festival and songkran is a Sanskrit word that we use only in Khmer New year. Songkran got nothing to do with MF water festival dude. Stop act like you know.
Welcome to cambodia 🇰🇭 hope you guys enjoy your staying in my beloved country 🇰🇭🙏❤️

The fact that i was there😂
Total craziness. We love it! ♥️
แม่งสงกรานต์ตลาดนัดนี่หว่า😢

I used to live there. What did they put on your face? As a Cambodian who lives abroad I feel so uncomfortable for strangers to touch your face.
It was definitely a unique experience. Since we come from a country where everybody is aware of personal space and shy away from contact, it was nice to challenge our boundaries. The white stuff was talcum powder that they put on our faces. Strange for us, but a lot less poisonous than the paint in India. 🤣

Your title is wrong. The world biggest water and color festival happens in India
Are you thinking of Holi? That is a crazy celebration. Colour, water and balloons everywhere. We were in Delhi for that and it was really intense. 😅
@@erikandfilippa you r correct it's the festival is good over evil.

Original Cho-Cha-Nam-Tha-Mey of Khmer is missing.
We have never heard of that, what is it?
@@erikandfilippathey just called songkran because they want to be like Thailand
Why Cho cha nam tha mey is not popular?
The biggest water fight of the year is Songkran in Thailand. This takes second place. Erik, the man bun is ridiculous.
Ahh, that must be insane. Hoping we get the chance to be a part of that someday. Haha, I'm enjoying the man bun as long as I can. I'm loosing hair faster than a negligent rabbit farmer.
