Today was the fourth and final day of the official Khmer New Year celebration. Tomorrow people should be going back to work. The common people probably will. Government officials might not make it back until next Monday. Here are some scenes of what the ordinary people did during the holidays.
Many Khmers, especially shopkeepers, erect shrines to the new year angel who appears at this time of the year	Few homes have refrigerators so this girl buys ice to cool some drinks for their home celebration
Here a truckload of costumed marchers and dancers head out for a new year performance	Petanque is a French colonial-era relic, a form of bowling played with large steel balls
As in Thailand spirit houses grace each property, to give a home to the spirits displaced by the humans living there now	A popular diversion with the foreigners is renting a motorcycle for cruising the back roads
