📖 How Public Holidays Work in Cambodia

Not every holiday repeats on the same date each year. Fixed-date holidays — a national or founding day, typically — recur exactly, while a country's movable holidays are governed by a separate calendar system and land on a different date every year. Cambodia's calendar can include holidays governed by the Easter computus that many Christian-majority countries use, the Hijri lunar calendar behind Islamic observances such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, or a lunisolar cycle behind holidays like Lunar New Year. Cambodia, like much of Asia, likely carries at least one holiday from each category on its calendar — one reason the list above shows a specific date per year instead of a single recurring one.

Worth separating, too: a true public holiday is a statutory non-working day — banks, schools and government offices close by law or long-standing custom. An observance is different — culturally or religiously notable, but without a mandated closure (Valentine's Day and Earth Day are common examples worldwide). This page focuses specifically on public holidays, the ones that actually affect scheduling.

Cambodia is also divided into states and provinces, and countries structured this way often layer a regional founding day, a local patron festival or a province-specific holiday on top of the national calendar — observed in one state but not nationwide. The calendar above covers Cambodia's national holidays; see the Cambodia states & provinces directory for population and government data on each one.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cambodia Public Holidays

What are public holidays in Cambodia?

Public holidays in Cambodia are nationwide days off recognised by the government, when most banks, schools and government offices close and many businesses adjust their hours. They mark historical, cultural, religious or civic occasions and are a standard reference point for logistics coordinators scheduling shipments and deliveries working with Cambodia.


How many public holidays does Cambodia observe each year?

The exact number varies year to year — some holidays fall on a fixed date, while Easter-based, Islamic-calendar or other lunar observances shift annually, and some are added by regional decree. See the live calendar above for the current list of upcoming and recently observed dates.


Are banks and businesses closed on public holidays in Cambodia?

Usually, yes — public holidays in Cambodia typically mean banks and government offices close for the day, and many private businesses follow suit, though retail and hospitality hours can vary by local custom. Always confirm directly with a specific bank or business before an important transaction.


Do Cambodia's public holidays fall on the same date every year?

Some do and some don't. Fixed-date holidays repeat on the same calendar day annually, while others follow the Easter calculation, the Islamic lunar calendar, or an "nth weekday of the month" rule — so their date moves from year to year. See how public holidays work above for the full explanation of why, or check the calendar itself for each year's actual date.


Where does this holiday calendar come from?

It's embedded directly from Google's official public holiday calendar for Cambodia — the same source Google Calendar itself uses. We don't copy or store the holiday data ourselves; Google serves it live, so it always reflects their current information.


Can I see holidays from an earlier date or a different year?

Yes — the calendar opens on today's date showing what's upcoming. Use the ◀ back arrow in its toolbar to browse earlier dates in the current year, or the date selector to jump to a different year entirely.


How can I plan a long weekend around public holidays in Cambodia?

The live calendar above shows the day of the week next to each date — that's what you need. A holiday landing on a Monday or Friday already gives Cambodia a natural three-day weekend; one on a Tuesday or Thursday can often be stretched into four days by taking the single working day in between as leave, sometimes called a "bridge day". Once you've spotted a good date, the Cambodia travel guide covers the practical details for planning around it.


Is this the official government holiday list for Cambodia?

This calendar is a reliable public reference drawn from Google's holiday calendar service, but it isn't a substitute for an official government gazette. For payroll, legal or compliance purposes, always confirm exact dates against Cambodia's official government publication.


Does Cambodia have regional or state-specific holidays too?

Many countries observe additional regional, state or provincial holidays alongside national ones. Cambodia is divided into states and provinces — see the Cambodia states & provinces directory for region-specific pages with more local detail.
