Cambodian Public Holidays in 2022
For year 2022, does Cambodia have any planned public holiday changes?

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.
