PAST EVENT
(January 1-2, 2022)
Back in January 2022, we had the chance to visit a wonderful two-day food exhibition in the heart of Preah Dak. This mini-market event was a fantastic showcase of local products, from delicious food to handmade crafts, bringing together locals and visitors in a lively, festive atmosphere.
The Vibe: What We Saw & Did
Local Eats
The main attraction! Stalls were filled with authentic Khmer dishes. We ordered food and ate right there, enjoying the bustling market atmosphere.
Artisan Crafts
Beyond the food, there were many different local products for sale, including clothes and handmade goods—perfect for unique souvenirs.
Live Music & Dance
To top it off, there were extra activities including traditional music and "Ram Skor Dai" (drum dancing), which really brought the celebration to life.
