From 21 to 23 September 2025, Cambodia saw a remarkable rise in tourist numbers during the traditional Buddhist festival of Pchum Ben, the ancestors' festival, a time for meditation and family reunions.

Pchum Ben (បុណ្យភ្ជុំបិណ្ឌ) or the Festival of the Ancestors will be celebrated in the Kingdom from 21 to 23 September 2025. Known as the Festival of the Dead or Cambodian All Saints' Day by Westerners, Pchum Ben is much more than that for Cambodians.
