Frequently asked questions

What is the best month to visit Siem Reap?

November–February is the best window to visit Siem Reap. The cool, dry season — the most comfortable conditions for exploring Angkor Wat.

When should I avoid visiting Siem Reap?

March–May is the stretch to avoid if possible. The hottest stretch of the year, often exceeding 95°F before the rains arrive.

Is the best time to visit Siem Reap the same as the cheapest time to fly there?

Not necessarily — weather and crowd timing don't always match the cheapest airfare windows. Check our Best Time to Book Flights tool separately for pricing.

Is shoulder season worth it for Siem Reap?

Usually yes — the weeks just before or after Siem Reap's best window often have nearly as good weather with noticeably fewer crowds and lower prices.
