Best time to visit Cambodia

Timing is simple in Cambodia: every destination here peaks in December, so one set of dates works for the whole country.

Averaged across every destination listed, Cambodia is at its best in December, scoring 72 out of 100, with November close behind at 65. May is the weakest month nationally at 33. The window is narrow: only 3 months come within eight points of the best, so an itinerary covering several of these places should be built around that rather than around any one city's own peak.

Cambodia is represented here by Siem Reap alone. Its year peaks in December at 32.5 °C with rain on 2 days, and bottoms out in May at 34.1 °C. With one destination there is no internal variation to plan around — the month is the only decision.
