A Cambodian krama has set a new Guinness World Record for the longest scarf in the world. A ceremony marking the feat was held yesterday on Koh Pich in Phnom Penh. Guinness World Record adjudicator Dangarikar Swapnil Mahesh certified the record.

 

“The 1,149-metre scarf sets a new Guinness World Record for the longest scarf in the world,” he said. Hun Many, president of the Union of Youth Federation of Cambodia, and Phnom Penh Governor Khuong Sreng, along with hundreds of other government officials, joined the ceremony marking the feat with the youth that constructed the krama.

 

The project was an initiative of GoGo Cambodia, an organisation established by youths to promote national pride. Weaving ran from February 13 until June 28 at Veal Preah Mehru, in front of the National Museum. The weaving enjoyed the patronage of King Norodom Sihamoni, Queen Mother Norodom Monineath Sihanouk, Prime Minister Hun Sen and his wife Bun Rany.
