What the numbers say about Cambodia in 2027
The count uses Saturday and Sunday as the weekly rest days, the standard pattern in Cambodia. Only holidays that apply across the whole country are deducted. Someone working in a region with its own extra days will have a little more time off than these figures show.
3 holidays land on a rest day this year: Labour Day (1 May), Water Festival (13 Nov), Water Festival (14 Nov). On the calendar alone that means no extra time off. Some countries move the day off to the next working day; whether that applies here is set by national rules, so check before you plan around it.
March is the longest working month with 22 days, and October the shortest with 18. A gap of 4 days is enough to make a fixed monthly target noticeably harder in some months than in others. Across quarters, Q2 is the leanest at 59 working days (April, May, June).
2026 had 243working days, so 2027comes out exactly the same length.
Among the 204 countries we track for 2027, the median number of national holidays is 12. With 21, Cambodia sits above the middle of the range, around the 98th percentile (the lowest count this year is 3, the highest 49).
Holidays create 11 stretches of three or more days off in a row. The longest lasts 5 days, from 14 April to 18 April (Khmer New Year). There are also 2 bridge days: a single working day squeezed between a holiday and the weekend, where one day of leave turns into four or more days away. See every long weekend in 2027.
9 holidays change date compared with 2026: Khmer New Year, Khmer New Year, Royal Ploughing Ceremony, Pchum Ben, Pchum Ben, Pchum Ben and more. Movable dates are the ones most often missed when last year's schedule is reused.
