Charity puppet parade

Every year there is a huge puppet parade in Siem Reap to raise money for charity. Several groups will start planning for the puppet parade in September and then begin to construct huge puppets for the parade.

It is a great spectacle for locals and tourists alike. There are a number of videos below. It is worth skipping through them and watching these large puppets make their way down the street. Sometimes they are so large that someone goes ahead with a long pole and pushes all the electrical cables up high so the puppets can get past.
