In Cambodia, there are many ways to calculate calendars, such as the Western calendar or other traditional Cambodian calendars known as Chula Sakarat （Lesser era calendar）, the Buddhist calendar, etc. This book will give you a detailed explanation of how to calculate the Lunisolar calendar, which is one of Cambodian traditional calendars, based on the formula used by Cambodian ancestors, and the results of the Lunisolar calendar calculation by the author from 1 A.D. till 3316 A.D.

H.E. ROATH Kim Soeun is a former secondary school teacher interested in Khmer astronomy. After retiring in 1996, he researched by reading documents that he had collected related to Cambodia’s traditional calendar system. Those documents were written in Khmer, English and French languages. It made him more interested in Khmer traditional calendar system and gave him basic knowledge of converting different calendars. After that, he decided to edit those precious documents in Khmer language and describe in detail what he had learned through this book.
