Best Time to Visit

Cambodia has rainy weather for half of the year and dry weather for the other half. The seasons can be subdivided into dry-cool (November-January), dry-hot (February-May), rainy-hot (May-September) and rainy-cool (October-November). You will find the best weather in the dry-cool season, with an overall average temperature of 26°C—this is the most popular time to go.

The rainy-cool season can be an alternative if you want to avoid the crowds of tourists—the green landscapes boast beautiful colours during this time. However, so much rain might be uncomfortable for some, and if you are planning day trips, be aware that water may flood the streets and make it impossible to reach smaller, remote places. The rainiest months are August and September.

Passport / Visa

Visas to Cambodia are available at airports and land borders, as well as online for citizens of most countries. In order to obtain one, make sure you can provide a passport valid for at least six months and a passport-sized photo for your visa. Visitors from an ASEAN member country do not need a visa to enter Cambodia, as long as they have a valid passport.

It's essential for travellers to check the latest visa requirements and entry regulations from the nearest Cambodian embassy or consulate or through official government channels before planning their trip to Cambodia.

Health and Safety Advice

While vaccinations are not mandatory for entering Cambodia, they are highly recommended, along with bringing essential medications from home, as they may not be readily available in Phnom Penh.

It's crucial to have comprehensive travel insurance as healthcare in Cambodia can be costly, with upfront payments required, posing significant challenges in emergencies. Stay safe by avoiding tap water, opt for bottled water instead. Be sure to also pack (or buy there) an insect repellent to fend off mosquito-borne diseases.

Public Transport

Although many visitors still often use tuk tuks, cyclos or taxis to move around the city, the municipality of Phnom Penh has recently re-opened the 'Phnom Penh City Bus', an efficient public bus service that is a bit slower, but more comfortable than the alternatives. Moreover, they don't require you to negotiate prices with the driver, as other means of transport do. Bus tickets are cheap, and you can find transport apps on your phone.

Tuk Tuks, Cyclos & Motorbikes

Navigate the bustling streets of Phnom Penh with ease by opting for traditional modes of transportation like tuk-tuks or cyclos. Tuk-tuks, a motorised vehicle common in Cambodia, offer convenient and flexible travel options, though agreeing on a price beforehand is essential. Alternatively, cyclos, typically operated by elderly countryside dwellers, offer a slower but more scenic journey through the city at a slightly lower cost than moto-taxis. For added convenience, phone apps are available to hail tuk-tuks and taxis. While motorbike rides are popular for exploring, caution is advised due to the city's chaotic traffic and lax adherence to road regulations.
