April, May, June, July, August, September, October

Don't try the F-roads / highlands outside Jun–early Sep — they're closed.

Pick Cambodia 🇰🇭 if you're going in…

January, February, November, December

Buy the 3-day Angkor pass and spread visits across sunrise/sunset.

Months where both are equally good: March.
