How many long weekends are there in Cambodia in 2026?
There are 6 long-weekend periods in Cambodia in 2026. The longest lasts 5 days on 21-25 November 2026, covering Water Festival (Bon Om Touk).
What is the official source for the 2026 Cambodia holiday calendar?
The official source is Royal Government of Cambodia — Sub-Decree No. 167 ANKr.BK on the 2026 Public Holiday Calendar (Official 2026 public holiday calendar (22 paid holiday days; Visak Bochea coincides with International Labour Day on 1 May).

Does Cambodia move holidays that fall on a weekend?
No. The third Labour Law amendment, in force since October 2021, abolished substitute days. In 2026, International Women's Day (Sunday, 8 March) and the middle day of Pchum Ben (Sunday, 11 October) fall on Sundays without replacement days.
Why does 1 May 2026 carry two holidays in Cambodia?
International Labour Day (fixed on 1 May) and Visak Bochea Day (a lunar holiday marking the birth, enlightenment, and passing of the Buddha) coincide on Friday, 1 May 2026. The sub-decree lists both, so the official count is 22 holiday days across 21 calendar dates.
