The story

Koh Kong Mangrove Festival in Koh Kong

The Peace Mangrove Festival gathers officials, monks, and villagers in the stilt-house community of Koh Sralao to plant mangrove saplings, tour the tidal channels by boat, and learn about the roughly 30,000 hectares of mangrove forest protecting Koh Kong's coastline. First staged in early 2025 by the Ministry of Environment with provincial and local conservation partners, organizers describe it as intended to continue annually.

In the stilt-house river village of Koh Sralao, on Koh Kong province's mangrove-threaded coast, officials, monks, and villagers waded into the shallows together in early 2025 to plant mangrove saplings along an eroding tidal creek, the centerpiece of a three-day event called the Peace Mangrove Festival.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival is anchored to one specific place, Koh Sralao village in Koh Kapi commune, rather than a generic beach or town venue, and its signature activity is a communal mangrove-planting ceremony performed alongside government officials and Buddhist monks, framing conservation as a shared civic and spiritual act rather than a demonstration for spectators

02

The mystery stays covered

Its stated theme of 'peace' through mangrove restoration, plus its joint government-NGO organizing structure involving Meta Nature Organisation, distinguishes it from Cambodia's more commercial coastal festivals
