Here, fried noodles meet grilled kebabs , steamed pastries rub shoulders with exotic juices . The craft market completes the immersion with textile creations , incense, ritual objects and jewelry inspired by the continent.

On the show side, the scenic space becomes the stage for a variety of performances.

On the program:

Traditional Cambodiandances , sometimes with a contemporary twist ,
Demonstrations of the formidable Kun Khmer, the ancestral martial art ,
And concerts by Khmer artists who combine traditional instruments with contemporary beats .

Folk Cambodian games bring young and old together, while the more curious discover the subtleties of Theravada Buddhism in the temple itself , home to Europe'slargest Buddha statue , a place of meditation rarely accessible to the general public.

As night falls , the "Sabay Party"DJ setsextend the festivities, mixing contemporary Asian sounds with internationalhits (RNB, Hip-Hop, EDM, Baile Funk) that resonate in the peaceful pagoda.
