From April 14 to 17 is a Khmer New Year Holiday and many restaurants and cafes in Phnom Penh will close.

Hello, I’m a writer of CONPATH. In Phnom Penh, capital of Cambodia, many shops will close during Khmer New Year (KNY), 14 April to 16 April. I went to a restaurant displayed “Open” on Tripadvisor but the restaurant was also closed. So during KNY it’s hard to find restaurants and cafes still open.

So I researched what restaurants and cafes are open during KNY in Phnom Penh and made a list.
You can find restaurants and cafes open during KNY in Phnom Penh below.


Conclusion. Most shops will be close except the chain store.

Phnom Penh has many chain stores compared to other towns such as Siem Reap, and you can see that there are many shops that are also open during KNY. Because I heard the story that many people living in Phnom Pen go back to the country, I thought most shops will close during the holiday, but it seems like you can spend extraordinarily freely as there is a chain store.

I created a Google Map of the shop where I got a response.
Those who live in Phnom Penh, those who are visiting Phnom Penh during the Khmer New Year, it’s easy to find restaurants and cafes open during KNY. Please check it.
I will add shops where I will get a response in the future from time to time.
