Khmer New Year 2005 |
| The most important holiday of the year in Cambodia is the Khmer New Year, usually celebrated on 14, 15, and 16 April. It is a major holiday because of its length but even more because of its cultural significance as the one time of the year when almost all commerce stops and the big cities are suddenly depleted as all the urban dwellers return to the villages in the provinces where they are originally from.
