The festival marks the reversal of the flow between the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers. During the rainy season, the Tonle Sap river becomes so swollen that it reverses its downstream direction and flows north upstream into Tonle Sap lake. The festival marks the switching of the flow back to its normal southerly direction signifying the end of the rainy season. The festival features boat races and concerts and huge crowds along the banks of the Mekong. Sadly, due to the Covid crisis, this year’s festival has been cancelled. It is the second cancellation since 2016 when a prolonged drought precipitated the first time that the Mekong’s waters did not reverse direction. #banomtouk banomtouk #phnompenh #cambodia #mekong #mekong #tonlesap」11月1日 13時24分
