How to use bridge days in Cambodia
A bridge day (sometimes called a sandwiched day) is a working day that sits between a public holiday and a weekend. By taking it as paid annual leave, you connect the holiday to the weekend and create a longer uninterrupted break.
For example, if a public holiday falls on a Thursday, taking Friday off gives you Thursday + Friday + Saturday + Sunday — four consecutive days using only one day of leave.
In Cambodia 2027, there are 10 bridge day opportunities highlighted in the table above. The biggest gain is around Khmer New Year Day (Day 1) & Khmer New Year Day (Day 2) & Khmer New Year Day (Day 3): take Monday and Tuesday off to turn a 5-day break into 9 consecutive days using only 2 days of annual leave.
