Cambodian New Year (Khmer: បុណ្យចូលឆ្នាំថ្មី) or Chaul Chnam Thmey in the Khmer language, literally "Enter New Year", is the name of the Cambodian
holiday that celebrates the New Year. The holiday lasts for three days
beginning on New Year's Day, which usually falls on April 13 or 14th,
which is the end of the harvesting season, when farmers enjoy the fruits
of their labor before the rainy season begins. Khmers living abroad may
choose to celebrate during a weekend rather than just specifically
April 13 through 15th. The Khmer New Year coincides with the traditional
solar new year in several parts of India, Sri Lanka, Puthandu, Myanmar and Thailand.
