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.

Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH)

Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH) lies approximately 10 km from the city centre. The easiest way to get to and from the airport is by taxi. It takes around 20-40 minutes depending on traffic. You can also take a tuk-tuk. Whatever alternative you choose, you can buy a coupon inside the airport terminal to avoid the hustle outside.

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.

Taxi

There are two types of taxis in Phnom Penh, those with a meter and those without. You can find them outside major hotels or close to the tourist attractions. If you choose a taxi without a meter, always agree on a price before you start the journey. Phnom Penh Taxi +855 17 757 800 Phnom Penh Taxi Drivers +855 92 994 227
