Khmer New Year in Ratanakiri


This Khmer New Year , I went to Rattanakiri. I am very disappointed with tourist site management. Actually , there are many places to go around, especially visiting the village of minority ethnic, waterfalls, and a big lake with a beautiful landscape surrounding. But lack of tourism destination management.


On the first day of New Year, I went to restaurant in town, there are crowds of people waiting their breakfast, and some waiting very long time to have their own meal. Some are very disappointed because no food available. One thing I made notice of restaurant is the guest come to take the meal by ownself. Then, I continued to go Pagoda in Lumphat district for traditional ceremony with family and friends. After finishing the ceremony, I went to TAT TAI is along the Sre Pok rivers with a vivid beautiful landscape. Hummmmmmmmm............


Ah I forget to tell how far it is from Ban Lung town to Lumphat. It is about 40 Km with a good road condition that can drive 60-90 km/hours. It takes me nearly 40 mns to arrive there. On the second of my new year in RTK, I went to Pagoda as usual with my father's men to celebrate it. This pagoda is very small with two middle aged monks and many clerks. The pagoda is just built two months ago. On the way back, I went to waterfall of hydroelectricity one, called CHRORS TDAM SNAE . It is very popular place for high school student come to play with their partner. Eh, too dangerous for khmer society. Is it good?????????? I don't think so. It is very bad effect on Khmer Culture. As people told me there, they often see student come to play here.


The most important thing I want to tell you here is the toursim site management is not satisfied at all . No public toilet, no dust bin, car parking.....,. Generally Speaking, the facilities is your turn to rate it.
