Cambodian New Year, known locally as Chaul Chnam Thmey, is the most important and widely celebrated festival in Cambodia. It marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of a new year based on the traditional Khmer lunar calendar. The festival typically takes place in mid-April, spanning from April 13th to 15th, and it is a time for Cambodians to honor their ancestors, celebrate with family and friends, and participate in various cultural and religious activities.
