Even though Cambodia is a small nation, it has everything. Additionally, it has breathtaking natural beauty, from serene islands to magnificent national parks.
Cambodia
If you are planning to visit Southeast Asia, Cambodia is a must-visit country.
Best time to visit Cambodia
All seasons are hot, but there is a monsoon season that brings about two climatic conditions: rainy and dry. Depending on your travel plans and whether you want to avoid the rainy season, you should choose the best time of year to visit Cambodia.
Between November and April, it rains very little in Cambodia, so it’s perfect if you want to enjoy a relaxing trip to the south coast. During this period, the humidity increases and the rains arrive. However, you should not be discouraged from traveling, as the temples are tranquil, the rivers flow freely, and the countryside is lush and green. This is the perfect time to visit the outer temples as they are no longer crowded.
At the end of summer, the Tonle Sap comes to life. It is one of Cambodia’s true natural wonders and the largest freshwater lakes in Southeast Asia.
November is popular with tourists as the average temperature is around 25°C. This is the perfect time to visit if you plan to wander around temples, monuments, and markets. December and January are also busy months as they are dry and ideal for visiting the southern islands. Temperatures start to rise in March and April, and it can be very humid for sightseeing. However, the Khmer New Year festivities take place in April. It is one of the most important festivals in Cambodia, which coincides with the end of the harvest season.
Angkor Wat is unquestionably one of the must-see places in Cambodia. From the ninth to the fourteenth centuries, Angkor served as the seat of the Khmer Empire. As such, it is full of historical treasures, making it one of the most important archaeological sites in Southeast Asia. The ruins of a thousand temples can be found scattered across jungle, farmland, and rice paddies, emerging from the canopy in a mix of historic Khmer towers and enchanting ancient Hindu shrines.
Angkor Wat
These include the renowned Angkor Wat temple, the biggest religious structure on earth. Watching the sun rise behind the temple’s iconic towers is an unforgettable experience and well worth the untimely wake-up call.
Situated on the Mekong River and once known as the “Pearl of Asia”, Phnom Penh is Cambodia’s largest city and has been its capital since French colonial times. The French influence is still found today. Top attractions include the opulent Royal Palace complex, which shimmers with the spiers of the Silver Pagoda at its center. For a taste of local life, be sure to head to bustling Sisowath Wharf, which runs along the Mekong in a mix of markets and picnic spots. The Killing Fields, just on the outskirts of the city, are a stark and stark reminder of the horrors of Cambodia’s 20th century past.
It’s true that most people flock to Siem Reap (literally “Siam Defeated”) to get to the UNESCO wonder of Angkor Wat. However, thanks in large part to the influx of people over the past few decades, Cambodia’s fastest growing city has become a beautiful place to visit in its own right. You can immerse yourself in an old town of elegant French mansions and enchanting Chinese shops, all punctuated by the heady melee of the Psah Chas market, where you should try the sizzling noodle soups. The museums include the Cambodia Landmine Museum and the War Museum.
Cambodia’s lesser-known UNESCO site, Preah Vihear, is well worth a visit off the beaten path. This magnificent temple complex, located on the border of Thailand, attracts fewer people and a more precise flavor of the Khmer kingdom. Breathtaking views from its summit can be enjoyed.
Koh Rong Island sits where the waters of the Gulf of Thailand meet the South China Sea. It’s a picture of tropical perfection, with 23 individual stretches of sand. Rustic, saline bungalows line the coast sporadically, and there are plenty of opportunities to hike through forests or head out into the coral-colored sea for snorkeling. Koh Rong is also famous for its bioluminescent waters, which sparkle under the dark sky at night.

The reason tourists visit Siem Reap is its massive temple complex. The town, however, has much more to offer than just temples….
