Cambodian Public Holidays

For year 2022, does Cambodia have any planned public holiday changes?

While decreasing yearly public holidays has been a Cambodian government trend of late, the 2022 public holiday schedule will roughly match the 2021 schedule with 21 planned holidays according to sub-decree N 145 of August 19, 2021.  However, in year 2022 Independence day (November 9, 2022) will overlap with the three day water festival period (7, 8 and 9 November), reducing the total public holiday number to 20 days for year 2022 instead of 21 days for year 2021.
