Workers across the Kingdom will enjoy a day off on Tuesday to celebrate International Women’s Day.
Next month will bring three days off for Khmer New Year, and after six more public holidays in May, June will begin with a day off for Children’s Day.
All told, Cambodians will enjoy 26 public holidays this year, a total among the highest of any country in the world.
While workers will assuredly enjoy the break tomorrow, some observers are raising questions as to whether this surfeit of days off is introducing a hurdle to Cambodia’s development.
