Koh Kong in June
Not the best time
June brings the rains but not much relief from heat and humidity. Budget travelers might manage it, but most will find the constant dampness exhausting.
Weather
Monsoon season officially begins with temperatures dropping slightly to 34°C but humidity skyrocketing. Daily afternoon downpours become the norm, turning roads muddy.

June Tips
- •Pack serious rain gear and waterproof bags
- •Many remote waterfalls become inaccessible due to flooding
- •Indoor activities and covered markets become your friends
All Months
Dry season runs November through April, and that's your window. December through February brings the coolest temperatures - still hot by most standards, but bearable for hiking. March and April turn brutal, with temperatures hitting 38°C (100°F) regularly. But here's the trade-off: waterfalls run strongest during and just after rainy season. Ta Tai Waterfall becomes a thundering cascade in October, then shrinks to a trickle by March. Rainy season (May through October) makes many roads impassable. The Cardamom Mountains disappear behind walls of rain. Some eco-lodges close entirely. November offers the sweet spot - waterfalls still flowing, roads mostly dry, and temperatures dropping from unbearable to merely sweltering.
