In April 2025 the Cambodian community of Gumi, led by the Venerable Pov Sopheak, held its Khmer New Year celebration at the city's foreign residents center, with about 700 people. The Venerable Pov Sopheak led the alms round that opened the day.[2]
On Sunday, April 19, 2026, the Cambodian embassy in South Korea held its Khmer New Year celebration at the Wat.
