How to Do Khmer New Year

#1. Make an offering of your favorite foods and treats at your house. At the moment the New Year begins (this year it was around 2:15 am), say your prayers and place and incense stick.


#2. Just take a load off and relax.


#3. Drink and eat more than your normal share of sugar and just go wild.


#4. Hang out with your family: eat, drink, make music, and be merry.


#5. Liven up your afternoons with a bit of gambling.


#6.  Dance with your family.


#7. Dance with strangers.


#8. Ask the monks to bless you and your family for the coming year.


#9. Join together with your family and pray for your ancestors.


#10. Karaoke.
