Visitors came from nine different cities, including from border provinces around the Tonle Sap Lake, such as Siem Reap, Kampong Cham, Kampong Chhnang, Preah Vihear, Battambang, Pursat, Stung Treng and Kratie.

The Governor of Kampong Thom Province, Nguon Rattanak, also allowed the River Festival to continue for an extra two days over the weekend on 11-12 March, as many wished to continue visiting the festival and traders wished to continue their booth operations to make more profits.

The Minister of Tourism, Thong Khon, previously predicted that the main three days of the river festival would attract at least 1 million tourists, and the final total was more than anyone expected.
