Summary

[edit]
Description
Français : La confluence du Tonlé Sap et du Mékong à Phnom Penh en 2008

La confluence est le lieu où les Cambodgiens fêtent le phénomène d'inversion du courant du Tolé Sap

Bon Om Touk, la « fête de l’eau », rend hommage, chaque année en novembre, à la fertilité des eaux du Tonlé Sap et du Mékong. Le courant du Tonlé Sap s'inverse en fin d'année pour aller alimenter le Mékong. Des milliers de cambodgiens se retrouvent alors en ce lieu où se déroulent notamment des courses de pirogues.

Sur cette bande de terre, à la confluence, face au palais royal, le lieu où la ville a été fondée, est en cours de construction fin 2011 un immense bâtiment, destiné à devenir un hôtel de luxe.

Ce bâtiment, pas encore terminé en décembre 2011, transforme d'ores et déjà totalement ce paysage unique (la photo a été prise en 2008 bien avant le début des travaux). Il semble que les investisseurs soient des thailandais en relation avec la famille royale mais cela mérite d'être confirmé.

On ne peut que regretter que les autorités cambodgiennes aient accepté de défigurer ce lieu unique et majeur dans l'histoire de ce pays.
English: Convergence of the Tonle Sap and Mekong Rivers at Phnom Penh in 2008. This river convergence is where the Cambodians celebrate the inversion of the current at Tole Sap. Bon Om Touk, the "Water Celebration", honours the fertility of the waters of Tonle Sap and Mekong, held every november. Thousands of Cambodians come to this place where feasts of "pirogies" are held. On the shores near this convergence are the Royal Palace, the location where the city was was founded and where an immense building was under construction in 2011, to be a luxury hotel.
