Like most of Cambodia, Siem Reap boasts a consistently warm dampness throughout the year, with temperatures generally hovering from the mid 20˚Cs to the upper 30˚Cs. The months of December to February, however, stand out as the months with the least rain; they’re the most popular among tourists, and the best time to come should you wish to catch the weather at its most outdoorsy – assuming you’re willing to deal with heavier crowds and higher accommodation rates. By contrast, the months of May until October are marked by the rather relentless rain that has given this island nation its distinctive lush greenness; it’s the best time to come if you’d like to avoid the crowds, but you’d better remember to pack a raincoat.

Siem Reap stands as a landmark to the adventurous traveller; for it is through this northern Cambodian city that one steps back through the centuries and into the breath-taking world of Angkor, the capital of the once-mighty Khmer Empire. Recognised by UNESCO as a world heritage site, these beautiful ruins are famed across the world, and are emblematic of the distinctive beauty of Cambodia.
Siem Reap itself, however, is far more than just a rest stop; though not vastly populated, this city’s constant influx of tourists has given rise to bustling shops, enticingly varied restaurants, busy pubs, and some seriously happening nightlife. You’ll come to immerse yourself in historical Cambodia; but modern Cambodia might persuade you to stay a little longer than scheduled.
