Huge crowds of people from all over Cambodia come to Phnom Penh. Boat races along the river are followed by boat processions at night. Go to the FCC for a great view..

Lots of folk watch the races as much to see the boats sink as to support their villageSend your feedback or queries to been.there@guardian.co.uk
