This lunar month
Phdrabot is the tenth lunar month, falling in August–September at the end of the rainy season. It is the time of Kan Ben, when families take morning food offerings to pagodas before Pchum Ben.
The season in Cambodia
Rainy season (May–September): the monsoon rains arrive and rice planting begins. Rivers rise, fields fill with water, and monks keep the Vassa rains retreat. It is also the season of Kan Ben and Pchum Ben at its end.

Understand the calendar
What do Koeut and Roach mean?
The Khmer lunar month counts 15 Koeut days (waxing moon) and 15 Roach days (waning moon). Day 15 Koeut is the full moon; day 15 Roach is the new moon.
Learn more →What is B.E. (Buddhist Era)?
B.E. counts years since the Buddha's passing. The year steps at Khmer New Year, so B.E. runs about 544 years ahead of the Gregorian year.
Learn more →What is Thngai Sil?
Thngai Sil (holy days) fall on the 8th and 15th of each lunar half. Many Buddhists keep the precepts, listen to sermons, and make offerings at pagodas on these days.
Learn more →What is the difference between Kan Ben and Pchum Ben?
Kan Ben is the fourteen days before Pchum Ben when families bring morning offerings to pagodas each day. Pchum Ben is the culminating day when people visit pagodas to dedicate merit to their ancestors.
Learn more →How is the Khmer lunar month counted?
The Khmer lunar month follows the moon: 15 waxing days and 14–15 waning days, making months of 29 or 30 days. Leap years add an extra month to stay in step with the solar year.
Learn more →Why is B.E. about 544 years ahead of the Gregorian year?
The Buddhist Era counts from the Buddha's passing, which occurred roughly 544 years before the start of the Common Era, so B.E. always runs about 544 years ahead.
Learn more →Is today an official public holiday?
