Kathen Robe Offering Phnom Penh

Kathen season in Phnom Penh runs through the month after Buddhist Lent ends, with dozens of pagodas each holding one robe-offering ceremony on their own schedule. The capital's version stands out for occasional Royal Kathin ceremonies sent from Thailand to temples like Wat Ounalom, alongside neighborhood processions carrying robes and donations through city streets with drummers, dancers, and fundraising for temple and school upkeep.

Phnom Penh's Kathen season turns the month following the end of Buddhist Lent into a rolling calendar of robe-offering ceremonies across the capital's pagodas, each temple holding exactly one Kathen of its own within the roughly month-long window between the waning moon of Assoch and the full moon of Kattik.
