No Celebration of Water Festival but Keeps Three-Day Holiday from 18-20 November

PHNOM PENH: The Royal Government has announced that there will be no celebration of Bon Om Touk, or the Cambodian Water Festival, and Moon Worship in 2021, but has decided to keep the holiday to celebrate the festival in private.

The Ministry of Labor has declared from 18 to 20 November, a three- day holiday. Normally the festival goes for three days and commemorates the end of the country's rainy season as well as the change in flow of the Tonlé Sap River. It’s going to be a long weekend. The ministry has also reminded factory owners to give their workers a bonus equal to the normal working day wage, in case the employees work on that date.
