๐ŸŒŸ Best Time to Visit Cambodia

November to February is the ideal window โ€“ cool, dry, and perfect for Angkor Wat, Phnom Penh, and coastal areas. March to April is very hot but still dry. May to October offers fewer tourists and vibrant green rice paddies.

For sunrise at Angkor Wat, aim for dry season (Dec-Feb) for the clearest skies.

๐Ÿงณ Packing Tips

Lightweight cotton clothes, sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, insect repellent, rain jacket (if visiting May-Oct), comfortable walking shoes, and a reusable water bottle.
