There are two primary seasons that impact vacation plans, but the country maintains a warm tropical climate all year. From November to April, during the dry season, most people go because it is sunny and comfortable, making it perfect for exploring temples, المدن, and الساحلية getaways. From May through October, when it rains, the landscape becomes verdant, and there are fewer tourists and a more laid-back vibe. Tourists looking for a less crowded and more picturesque Cambodia can rest assured that brief downpours are common, but they usually clear out fast, revealing beautiful new landscapes.
