CLIMATE Cambodia's climate is governed by two
monsoons: the cool, dry northeastern monsoon
from November to February, and the humid
southwestern monsoon from May to October.
Monsoon rains fall mostly in the afternoon,
and account for 70 to 80% of annual
rainfall. Cambodia can be visited throughout
the year. However those planning to travel
extensively by road should avoid August and
September when the countryside roads may be
impassable. Rainfall varies considerable
from area to area.; Whereas the seaward
slopes of the south-west highland (Kompong
Som and Kampot Provinces) receive more than
5000+ mm of rain per annum, the central
lowlands average only about 1,450mm.
Getting into Cambodia and traveling
around
 Bangkok is the easiest place to pick up a
flight to Phnom Penh or Siem Reap. However,
there are direct flights from Singapore,
Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City,
Hanoi, Vientiane, Pakse and Guangzhou.
Although, the major airport is Pochentong,
7km (4mi) west of Phnom Penh, Siem Reap
airport receive more international direct
flights and charters. A taxi to the centre
costs around 7.00 USD, and motos charge
1-2.00, however, we do not encourage
traveler to use. The land route will be
vastly improved when the road linking Phnom
Penh with the Thai border at Poipet is
upgraded, the road to Siem Reap, Kratie,
Battambang have been upgraded. A combination
of boats and buses will eventually ferry you
from Thailand's Trat Province to the coastal
town of Krong Koh Kong. There are direct bus
access with Saigon, boat to Chau Douc
(Vietnam).
Visiting Around
Flying is the quickest way of getting to
places like Angkor and Ratanakiri. Stung
Trung, Mondulkiri, Kompong Som airports have
been suspended when road travel is safer
than it's been for years. There are luxury
air-conditioned bus from Phnom Penh to Siem
Reap, Kratie, Battambang, Saigon whereas
shared taxi are running to Mondulkiri,
Rattanakiri, Stung Treng. Boat from Phnom
Penh to Kampong Cham, Kratie have been
suspended when the road access are more
convenience than ever.
