On 13th April, 2024, I had the pleasure of attending the Khmer New Year festival held at the Wat Khemarangsaram Temple in Bonnyrigg. It was an enriching experience filled with vibrant cultural displays, traditional music, and delicious Khmer cuisine. The atmosphere was with joy and camaraderie as families and friends came together to celebrate this auspicious occasion. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Ms. Chanthy Lim-Chum and the Khmer Community of NSW for extending their warm invitation to me. Their efforts in organizing such a successful event not only fostered cultural appreciation but also created a sense of unity within the community. The festivities provided me with an understanding of Khmer traditions and customs, leaving a lasting impression on me. It was a privilege to witness the cultural richness and diversity showcased at the festival, reflecting the resilience and spirit of the Khmer people. Attending the Khmer New Year festival was truly a memorable experience, and I am grateful for the opportunity to participate in this celebration of culture and community.
