Cambodia Travel Guide
Cambodia is known for its tropical monsoon climate with two distinct seasons; the rainy season from May to early November and the dry season from late November to April. During the rainy season, Cambodia experiences 75% of its annual rainful with humid temperatures expected and lush, green countryside waiting to be explored! The dry season from November to April is more popular amongst visiting travellers, with clearer skies and glorious sunshine. Temperatures in Cambodia remain fairly warm and consistent across the year. However, if travelling throughout the North during the winter months (December to March), be sure to pack extra layers as temperatures can become cold during the evenings.
We closely monitor the latest travel updates for Cambodia and follow the advice of the UK Foreign Office. For the latest travel advice from UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCDO), please click here.

More than 90% of the people who live in Cambodia are ethnic Khmers, making the country the most ethnically homogeneous in Southeast Asia. Cambodian life is centred around family, faith and food and local people are known worldwide for their gentle and warm nature. Over nearly two millennia, Cambodians have developed a unique Khmer belief from the syncretism of indigenous beliefs and the Indian religions of Buddhism and Hinduism. Buddhism is the most popular religious for the nation, with 95% of the population following Theravada Buddhism. Superstition almost runs parallel to religion, with the belief of spirits and superpowers running rife.
Cambodian cuisine is modest and comforting with a unique twist. Rice and freshwater fish are staples and a traditional Cambodian meal almost always includes a samlor (traditional soup) - Samlor machou bunlay is the most popular of these. Other esteemed national dishes include kyteow (rice-noodle soup) Fish Amok (freshwater fish covered in coconut milk, eggs, fish sauce and palm sugar) and Beef Loc Lac (marinated beef). Angkor Beer is the most well-known beer in Cambodia with prices varying from around US$1 for a glass to around US$2. Palm wine is popular in rural areas and tends to be very strong.
Cambodia is packed with a plethora of night markets, boutique stores, artisan markets and malls waiting to be explore. Haggling is all part of the experience, so brush up on your bartering skills to lock in the best prices. If you're looking for a unique Cambodian souvenir, keep an eye out for the traditional Batiks. Batik fabrics are considered to be the most popular style of Cambodian textile and is formed using intricate patterns and special fabric dying techniques. These dyed and hand-woven textiles can be found in many of the small villages across the country, especially in the very rural areas, and the batiks you can find are often one of a kind.
The Cambodian calendar has no shortage of colourful festivals, offering travellers a unique opportunity to get up and personal with the nations people and traditions;
- Khmer New Year: Held in April each year, Khmer New Year is a three-day affair that traditionally marks the end of the harvest season and is Cambodia’s single most important holiday. The cities shut down for a week over Khmer New Year while Cambodians return to their villages to spend time with their families, have parties, and visit their local pagodas.
- Water Festival: The Cambodian Water Festival (Bon Om Touk) takes place once a year, on the full moon of the Buddhist month of Kadeuk (usually in November) in Phnom Penh. The festival history dates back to 12th century of Ankor period and is a mark of respect to the Naval Forces. Two million Cambodians from all walks of life gather in the capital city to watch the colourful boats race on the river.
- Pchum Ben: Commonly reffered to as Ancestors Day, this festival is considered a major religious celebration across the country. The 15-day ceremony of Pchum Ben is a time for Cambodians to honour their previous seven generations of ancestor. Families gather at nearby pagodas, offering food and prayers to save their ancestors from bad karma. The festival dates back to the middle ages but holds strong today, with students and workers returning back to their families to observe Pchum Ben and make offerings.
