Pchum Ben
It's the festival of the dead in Cambodia.
Everyone returns to their home province to honour the dead.
I'm taking the long weekend on the coast. Just another couple of hours and I'm out of here!
The fifteenth day, of the tenth month, of the Khmer calendar marks the Pchum Ben festival. This is a time when the spirits of the dead ancestors walk the Earth. And the living can ease their suffering by offering them food to eat. (Source)
