Srok Khmer

Srok Khmer, meaning "Khmer Time," is a traditional Cambodian concept rooted in local perceptions of time and societal rhythm. It reflects a cultural approach where punctuality may be flexible, emphasizing relationships and harmony over strict adherence to schedules. This worldview values community, respect, and patience, often leading to a more relaxed attitude towards punctuality than in Western contexts. Understanding Srok Khmer helps appreciate Cambodian social interactions and their unique perspective on time, balancing personal commitments with cultural values that prioritize collective harmony.
