Bon Om Touk – Cambodian Water Festival

celebrate and give thanks to our rivers

As the moon becomes full, we celebrate with you the Cambodian Water Festival – Bon Om Touk

 

Did you know that prior to the festival being celebrated, the flow between the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers has actually been in reverse due to all the water from the rainy season? During this time Water flows upstream to the Tonle Sap lake and it is usually during the festival that the flow switches back to its normal direction (and marks the end of the rainy season).

It is a time to give thanks to the rivers for what they provide to our region, including drinking water, fish and water for our farms. Of course, the boat races are the best and most popular events of Bon Om Touk, particularly at Sisowath Quay in Phnom Penh. It is a great spectacle held over three days and culminates with fireworks, food and festivities well into the evening. 

 

From the team at QLM Label Makers we wish you a Happy Cambodian Water Festival – Bon Mom Touk. Get wet and have some fun!
