Thailand is going full Songkran. Cambodia just banned most of it. This year, from the top of government, they've said no water fights, no "shooting water" at each other. Water play is limited to localized splashing and throwing powder, framed as "back to our roots." Previous years were quite active. Kampot, where I live, had fire trucks at the durian roundabout, water guns in the street, powder fights everywhere. No real reasoning has been given, so everyone's speculating. Maybe it's because Cambodian workers returning from Thailand during Khmer New Year have been bringing Thai traditions back with them and the government doesn't want to be seen copying Thailand. Maybe it's about not celebrating too heavily given the displaced families from the border conflict. But if it's about the displaced families, why not set something up so they could enjoy the holiday too? And if there's a real reason behind the ban, why not just say it? Instead we get a blanket restriction on the things most people actually enjoy, with no explanation attached.
