Key facts for Cambodia
Christmas is not a traditional business occasion; Khmer New Year is the main festival.
How companies in Cambodia give year-end gifts
In Cambodia, the main festivals are Khmer New Year in April and Pchum Ben in the autumn, and corporate gifts and staff bonuses tend to follow these dates. The international New Year is used for greetings to foreign partners, and Christmas is marked mainly by expatriates and international organizations. Chinese New Year matters in Sino-Khmer businesses. Gifts are given with both hands or the right hand. Choose modest, well-packaged gifts; English is common in international business. Corporate gifts tend to be practical and well presented: tea, sweets and branded items are common. Wrapping in bright colors is appreciated, while white is associated with mourning. Gifts are usually given in person, and recipients may not open them immediately. Allow extra time for courier transit and customs clearance.
