Cambodia Public Holidays 2025
The Royal Cambodian Government announced that there will be 22 Cambodian public holidays in 2025 spread across 15 international, national, cultural, and religious festivals. This is less than in 2024 but that year saw two late additions as public holidays.
The three longest public holidays in the Kingdom on an annual basis are Khmer New Year (April 2025), Pchum Ben (September 2025), and the Water Festival (November 2025).
From a business perspective, in 2021, the Minister of Labour and Vocational Training changed the policy on public holidays that fall on a Sunday, which no longer are carried over to a Monday in Cambodia although some businesses still apply this at their own discretion.
The total number of public holidays in Cambodia has decreased but the Kingdom still enjoys some of the highest numbers of public holidays globally. This is something to consider for all businesses, regardless of sector, when operating in Cambodia.
