Leak Kan Saeng popular game for Khmer citizens on New Year Day

Khmer New Year Day is coming soon on the middle of April in this year so most Cambodia citizens prepare themselves to welcome new angel in new year. Leak Kan Saeng (hide scarf game) is a very popular and famous traditional game for Khmer citizens all around the country. So this is a reason that I take this game to tell you.

Of course, Leak Kan Saeng is a perfect and popular game in Cambodia. People always play it on special Khmer New Year day and after working hard on holiday. This game has become a very important and special game in Cambodia since old generation until nowadays. Do you wonder why Cambodia citizens love it and keep it as a traditional game ? The reason is because it really offer so much fun for players.

How to play Leak Kan Saeng game :

First of all, We must find 6 to 7 players or up (Be remember more players more fun too). Players must sit down in a circle line put both of your hands on your knees in a pretty big playground or any places that are possible.

Secondly, players must find one small scarf and roll it tightly and keep a bit hem in other to easy to hold it while you are playing. This game is assuming that have one player (I call 1st player) stand up and walking quickly surrounded the circle hold the rolling scarf and then put it behind the back of a player (I call 2nd player) who is sitting in a circle line that you like ** remember that do it very quickly and don’t let 2nd player know that you put scarf behind him/her. This game isn’t let any players look at their back if possible they might close their eyes for fair. 1st player who hold the scarf run surrounded the circle where another players sitting 2-3 times look at the player who sit without looking or interest at the scarf holder or 1st player this is the golden chance for 1st player to put the scarf behind him/her back and then run as fast as you can to sit in a place in the circle that you put the scarf (2nd player sit place) because if 2nd player know that 1st player put the scarf behind him/her back 2nd player will run follow 1st player and hit 1st player as much as he/she can do (when 2nd player run after 1st player, 2nd player sit place will empty so 1st player must run to sit at there). If 1st player did it he/she is win and the scarf holder or 2nd player who run after 1st player will walk and find new player as a 3rd player and do like the way of 1st player just do. If any player don’t know or notice about the scarf behind their back is a loser and will hit by scarf from other player who take the scarf fastest. And then keep on their playing until the night has come. Sometimes, some players never come to play because they always don’t know or notice about the scarf at their back and always hit by other players.

Sound like fun right ? If you want to play please do it on Khmer New Year Day or on your holiday. For foreigners you should come Cambodia if you want to play or know much more about this game. Cambodia always welcome you with very bright smile every time, every place. This game can make you run more faster and have high careful feeling and more stronger too.

Time to visit Yeak Loam Lake (Beung Yeak Loam) in Cambodia

   Yeak Loam lake (Beung Yeak Loam) located maybe 5Km in southeast Banlung city of Ratanakiri province. This wonderful lake has beautiful form because of volcano after the volcanic eruption in 4000 years ago. This lake has 800 m for it depth and show clean water maybe 50 m.

   On the side of Yeak Loam lake has 2 shores that build by woods for tourists seeing the view of the lake more closer and feel more relax. Road around the lake offer good feeling and take slow tour walking. On the west of lake has local handicraft product shops to selling many things like music instruments, baskets, scarfs, bags that made from fabric which weave by hands. Many rare wild boars and birds include eagles tourists can see it around the lake also rare big and strange butterfly with shine wing as the view.

   “Yeak Loam” is in Khmer language depend on history and stories that always told by citizens in that area and old generation people who like telling stories. So now let read about Yeak Loam story with me !

   Once upon a time, has a powerful giant who has a very beautiful daughter that no one can compare with. Her hair and whole body has very sweet smell than perfume so far so that why mr giant give name to her that “Neang sork Kror Ob” mean “sweet smell hair girl”. When she grow up has a boy love her. Their love grow so fast from day to day but they worried about giant know that so both of them decide to run away into the deep forest together. Not so long time, giant known that his only one daughter lose and run away with a boy, he feel so surprise and so worried. At first, he pity his daughter and then he call all of his armies go to find his beloved daughter. Whole empire of giant and forest are find by giant armies but they cannot found anything about her even they enter the thick and deep forest (that thick forest is Yak Lom lake nowadays) they still cannot found her. Giant king suspect that his sweet daughter is in the forest so he told his armies to take a look carefully around forest and take all tree away and dig the ground around that deeply in order to find his daughter. The armies try their best to did it finally they feel so tired and cannot continue so giant told them sadly to stop and go back.

   Because of armies dig the ground and take tree away that why that place become the big lake in Rattakiri province until nowadays and has name “Beung Yeak Loam” mean “Surround Giant Lake”. Beside this story it also has a story that talk about an army who love king daughter and take her away from her boyfriend and the royal palace and then that news came in to king and armies ear so they go find this couple. The sweet couple was hide in a mountain and the armies were surround that mountain so the couple has no way to escape they pray to the angle to make this mountain disappear into the ground. Their wish come true. So the mountain become the big and deep lake like nowadays that named Yeak Loam.

   Other story claim that the word “Yeak= giant” mean the owner or the leader and word “Loam= surround” mean the name of the leader in the story (example: giant or king name). So Cambodian citizens decide to named the lake “Beung Yeak Loam” mean “Surround Giant Lake” until now in order to respect the leader in that generation for getting happiness in the area forever.
