Ancestor's Day Festival in Cambodia for 15 days. (Hungry Ghosts Festival).

Ancestor's Day (Pchum Ben) in Cambodia is a festival from 27th September to 12th October 2026; it's a religious traditional festival in Cambodia.

Pchum Ben is a unique traditional festival of Cambodia. We have to get up early in the morning in order to go to the monastery to chant the Dhamma, and then we walk around the temple three times and put sticky rice balls on the ground for our deceased relatives; they might become the hungry ghosts to eat.

After we make offerings of foods, drinks, and some money to our parents and then to the monks at the temple, we give alms and pray for our deceased relative to receive merit.

In order to dedicate all the good deeds we have done to all our deceased relatives.

What is special is the time for families who live near and far to visit each other to celebrate together at home and in the monastery.

May we live happily, may all people be happy, may all our merits be passed on to all our relatives, and may all our meritious deeds produce good results.

Welcome to Siem Reap Angkor Cambodia.

On the coming Angkor Equinox, September 21-23, 2026.

If you do not have much time, you can take a day tour to visit the three main temples and Kampong Khleang Floating Village.

1. In the morning, starting with sunrise at Angkor Wat temple, the largest Hindu temple in the world.

2. Bayon temple with a smile, and each peak has four faces. There are a total of 54 peaks, so 54 times 4 is equal to 216 smiling faces in total; the four faces represent the loving kindness, compassion, Sympathetic joy and equanimity of the Buddha.

3. Ta Prohm temple is a jungle temple; there're many trees growing on the temple. In 2000, Hollywood filmed there the tomb raider, Angelina Jolie.

4. In the afternoon, you can visit Kampong Khleang Floating Village, a natural village to learn about the daily life of the locals living, and take a boat trip to see the largest natural lake in Southeast Asia, the Tonle Sap Lake.

5. But if you have a lot of time, I recommend staying in Siem Reap for 3 nights, 4 days, or maybe even a longer stay so that you get to know more about Cambodia.

See you soon at Angkor Wat, September 21-23, 2026.

Wat is not only the largest Hindu temple in the world. But Angkor Wat is a priceless treasure and the soul of the Khmer ancestors.

Wat is a universe and heaven on earth but also an ancient temple that is over 900 years old. Built from over 10 million tons of sandstone and laterite (limestone), the construction took 37 years, from 1113 to 1150, and involved 300,000 construction workers, 6,000 elephants, and hundreds of bamboo rafts to transport the stones from Mount Kulen National park, 60 kilometers from Siem Reap.There is a moat surrounding the temple complex, 1500 meters long, 1300 meters wide, and 7 meters deep.

Wat is the site of the tomb of the great king Suryavarman II, Founder of the construction of Angkor Wat along with his royal teacher, Divakarapandita. and is the most sacred place of worship in Cambodia. Also a center of Hindu and Buddhist religion and history. Angkor Wat is still shrouded in mystery and research.

Wat is a temple that is one of the wonders of the world that everyone must visit to understand and explore in their lifetime.

This is a season for those who love taking pictures and making videos. I recommend all tourists should come and enjoy this green season in Cambodia.

The Tonle Sap Lake is the largest lake in Asia, with a length of 250km and a width of 100km during the rainy season. And 160km long and 35km wide in the dry season. The Tonle Sap Lake covers 12% of the total land area of Cambodia during the rainy season, which is called the heart of Cambodia.

The Tonle Sap Lake has supported the livelihoods of more than 3 million Cambodians living around it.

Here it has become a second place of interest for national and international tourists to see the lives of real Cambodians, fishing, floating villages, and stilt houses built about 7 meters to 12 meters high.What is even more special is to take a boat trip to explore the mangrove forest, see the lake, etc.

is one of the best ways to learn about the world. When we travel, we see new places, meet new people, and experience different cultures .

It helps us understand how beautiful and diverse our world is. Traveling also teaches us confidence and independence. We try new foods, explore famous places, and make great memories.

Whether it is a short trip or a long journey, traveling makes life exciting, enjoyable, and full of adventures!

Wat was built between 1113 and 1150 CE by King Suryavarman II in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Constructed as the ultimate state temple and funerary monument for the Khmer Empire, it was originally dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu before transitioning into an active Theravada Buddhist site.

This is a season for those who love taking pictures and making videos. I recommend all tourists should come and enjoy this green season in Cambodia.

The French naturalist and explorer Henri Mouhot is credited with bringing Angkor Wat to the attention of the Western world in 1860. However, the temple was never truly lost, as local Khmer people had continuously lived near, used, and maintained the site for centuries.

Preah Palilay is a Buddhist temple at Angkor, Cambodia. It is located in Angkor Thom, 400 m north-west of Phimeanakas. This small Buddhist sanctuary in the wooded area north of the Royal palace in Angkor Thom has a number of attractive features and is well worth the short detour.

This is a season for those who love taking pictures and making videos. I recommend all tourists should come and enjoy this green season in Cambodia.

The green season (rainy season) runs from May to October, a season when Cambodians begin to cultivate rice fields and plant crops.

It is a time when tourists should come and enjoy this beautiful season.

Tourists can get a wonderful experience. Come and visit many beauty ancient Hindu and Buddhist temples that are nearly a thousand years old. And clearly understood the daily life, work, and activities of the rural people in the area. Such as monks giving alms, nuns going to the temple, people going to the market to sell and buy, children going to school, people going to work in the fields and planting various crops and going fishing, street vending, and other food production in the area, etc.

All of these are activities where you can explore the green season (rainy season).

This is a season for those who love taking pictures and making videos.

I recommend all tourists should come and enjoy this green season in Cambodia.

In addition to Angkor Wat, the largest religious structure in the world, and the famous Ta Prohm Temple, with its 300-year-old tree-topped structure and famous for its Tomb Raider temple, there is the magnificent Bayon Temple, famous for its smiling face, located in the center of the ancient city of Angkor Thom during the golden age of the Khmer Empire in the late 12th and early 13th centuries, during the reign of King Jayavarman VII.

You can spend more time learning about stone and wood carving, silk weaving, and other paintings. Especially learning about Theravada Buddhism, the real life of the Buddha before his enlightenment, and the current disciples, called monks, who live in monasteries. And you will try street food and the food that local Khmer people like to eat the most, especially fried insects, and so on.
