Today, the people of Cambodia honour the 90th Royal Birthday of Her Majesty Queen Mother Norodom Monineath Sihanouk. This special occasion honours Her Majesty’s enduring dedication to the nation, reflecting grace, compassion, and a lifelong commitment to the well-being of the Cambodian people.
Robam Trot (Trot Dance) is a traditional dance that originated in the rural, farming communities of Cambodia. Today, it is well-known in Siem Reap province and some surrounding areas.
The word "Trot" is derived from Sanskrit, meaning "to cut across" or "to sever." People generally perform this dance during the Khmer New Year to mark the transition and cut off the old year to welcome the new one, as well as to drive away misfortune and bring in good luck and prosperity.
Additionally, when the country faces severe drought, the Trot dance is also performed to pray for rain. Furthermore, playing Trot serves another crucial role: fundraising through donations to build and repair public achievements within the community, especially in Buddhist monasteries, rather than for personal benefit.

The Angkor Equinox is an event during which the sun rises above the central tower of Angkor Wat, creating a stunning spectacle that our Khmer ancestors bequeathed to humanity and providing insights into both faith and science. The event attracts both national and international visitors, who gather to witness and capture this remarkable moment at Preah Barum Vishnu Lok, also known as Angkor Wat.
The equinoxes occur twice a year, once during the dry season (Vernal Equinox) from 21-23 March, and again during the rainy season (Autumnal Equinox) from 21-23 September.
