Fixed dates repeat every year
1 January, 8 March, Khmer New Year in April, 1 May, the royal birthdays, Constitution Day, the two October days and 9 November all fall on the same date each year. Those are on the grid above for any year you choose.
Cambodia Holiday Calendar 🇰🇭
A whole year at a glance with the Cambodian public holidays marked, and the list of them underneath with the weekday each one falls on. The month view adds everything a Khmer wall calendar carries — the lunar date, the Buddhist holy days and shaving days, the Kan Ben days, and the international, national and cultural days that are not days off.

Dates set each year by sub-decree
These four follow the Khmer lunar calendar, so the Gregorian date moves every year and is fixed by the annual sub-decree. They are listed here by name until that year has been entered, rather than shown as a guessed date.
Where these dates come from
Cambodian public holidays are not set by a permanent statute alone. The list is confirmed for each coming year by a sub-decree of the Royal Government, normally published a few months ahead, and that document — not this page — is the authority.
Four holidays move every year
Visak Bochea, the Royal Ploughing Ceremony, Pchum Ben and the Water Festival follow the Khmer lunar calendar. 2015 to 2026 are entered from the published lists (from 2019 the sub-decrees themselves); 2027 and 2028 are shown from the lunar reckoning, the same dates khmer-lunar-calendar.com gives, and marked provisional. The calendar goes back to 1975, but before 2015 no list has been found, so those years show the lunar calendar without public holidays. Other years list the four by name rather than printing a guess.
Check before you close the office
A sub-decree can add a one-off day, shift Khmer New Year to start on 13 April, or move a holiday that falls on a weekend. For anything with money or a contract attached, confirm against the sub-decree itself.
Keeping it up to date
When the next sub-decree is published, the four movable dates are added in one small file and the whole calendar follows. If you spot a date here that does not match the official list, tell us and we will correct it the same day.
