Best Time to Visit Cambodia
The best time to visit Cambodia depends on the heat, rainfall, and how busy it is with visitors. Starting with the last reason, the busiest time is between November and March, therefore the least crowded time is between May and October which is the off-season.
Cambodia is warm all year round. However, there are two seasons weather-wise. There is the wet season between May and October when the country receives 75% of its annual rainfall, the peak being July to September. Most rain is in the form of a brief shower in the afternoon. The other months are hot and dry. Expect very high temperatures in the high (dry) season especially in Phnom Penh, Battambang and Angkor Wat.
