The story

Kampong Chhnang River Festival in Kampong Chhnang

Cambodia's River Festival is a genuine, well-documented event that rotates annually among provinces along the country's major rivers, including Kratie, Stung Treng, Kampong Cham, Kandal, Kampong Chhnang, Battambang, Kampong Thom, Siem Reap and Takeo. Kampong Chhnang hosted the fifth edition, featuring boat racing, tree planting, seminars, tourism and product exhibitions, trade fairs, and a large showcase of the province's famous hand-made clay pottery.

Cambodia's rivers have long shaped where people live, farm and trade, and the country's River Festival was created to celebrate that relationship while encouraging tourism along its river provinces.
