The water festival is one of the national ceremony which is held every year for three days in the diddle of November it is usually celebrated on the banks of Tonle Sap River in front of the Royal palace.
This year I and my family are planning to visit the water festival for three days. We are going to set off a day before the festival starts because we want to have more time to relax in my uncle’s flat near phnar Thmei market so that we will be able to do some shopping there. We are going to travel by taxi to Phnom Penh and I hope that it will not be very expensive and the journey will not be safe we are making some Cambodia traditional cakes like Num Ansames and Num Kom for our relatives in Phnom Penh I am going to take some warn clothes to wear when we go for a walk at night.
I hope we will have a good time and interesting things to do during the water festival.
