Phnom Penh Prepares for an Unprecedented Event to Celebrate Khmer New Year. The former international airport, an architectural gem from the 1950s, opens its doors to the public as a recreational park from April 11 to 19. A festive initiative blending history, relaxation, and celebratory spirit.

The former Pochentong Airport, closed since September 2025 in favor of the gigantic Techo International Airport, is set to transform into a vast urban green lung. Cambodian authorities have announced the winners of an international competition aimed at reinventing these 450 strategic hectares within a capital experiencing rapid demographic and real estate expansion.
