=== Cambodian New Year ===
{{main|Choul Chnam Thmey}}

At this time, Phnom Penh celebrates [[Cambodian New Year]], an occasion increasingly popular with tourists. During this typically hottest part of the year, water gets thrown around adding to the party atmosphere along with dancing and music. The precise date changes year-by-year but this holiday lasts, at least, three days. This festival marks the turn of the year based on the ancient Khmer calendar and also marks the end of the prior year harvest.
