Public Holidays
During public holidays and festivals, banks, ministries and embassies close down, so plan ahead if visiting Cambodia during these times. Cambodians also roll over holidays if they fall on a weekend and take a day or two extra during major festivals. Add this to the tact that they take a holiday for international days here and there and it soon becomes apparent that Cambodia has more public holidays than any other nation on earth.
