Phnom Penh, April 10th, 2023 —

Cambodia is planning to win two world records during the Angkor Sankranta 2023 to be held in Siem Reap province from April 14 to 16 to cheer the Khmer Traditional New Year.

According to H.E. Hun Many, President of the Union of Youth Federations of Cambodia (UYFC), the organiser of the annual Angkor Sankranta, the two planned records are paper heart folding and Madison dance.

During the Angkor Sankranta 2015, Cambodia earned the Guinness World Records for the largest Madison dance with 2,015 participants, and for the giant Nom Ansorm, Cambodian sticky rice cake, weighing 4.04 tonnes.

In July 2018, Cambodia’s 1,149-metre-long Krama (scarf) won the Guinness World Record as the longest Krama, and in November of the same year, Cambodia’s longest dragon boat of 87.3 metres long and 1.94 metres wide, named “Kambojikaputtakhemaratari,” literally meaning the boat of Khmers in Cambodian territory, was listed as a Guinness World Record.
