Best Time to Visit

When to Fly to Cambodia

Cambodia has a simpler climate pattern than Vietnam — one dry season, one wet season, across the whole country.

Peak Season
November – April

Dry Season

27–35°C

The most popular time to visit — minimal rain, comfortable humidity (especially Nov–Feb), and the best conditions for exploring Angkor Wat. Gets hottest March–April.

May – October

Wet Season

26–32°C

Frequent afternoon downpours rather than all-day rain, fewer tourists, lush green countryside, and typically cheaper flights and hotels. Tonle Sap Lake is at its most impressive.

December – January

Coolest Window

22–30°C

The most comfortable stretch within the dry season — lower humidity than other months, making it the single best window for temple-heavy itineraries around Siem Reap.

FAQ

Common Questions

Is there a direct flight from the UK to Cambodia?

No — there are currently no direct flights from the UK to Cambodia. Every route connects via a hub, most commonly Bangkok (Thai Airways), Abu Dhabi (Etihad), Doha (Qatar Airways), or Dubai (Emirates). Total journey time is typically 17–24 hours including the connection.

Which airport should I fly from to Cambodia?

London Heathrow offers the widest choice of connecting airlines to Cambodia, making it the best starting point for most UK travellers regardless of exact distance. Since there's no direct route anywhere in the UK, the airport with the most onward connection options matters more than which is physically closest.

Should I fly into Phnom Penh or Siem Reap?

Depends on your itinerary. Siem Reap is the gateway to Angkor Wat and is where most first-time visitors head. Phnom Penh is the capital, with more history and culture sites. Many visitors fly into one and out of the other, or travel overland between them (about 5–6 hours by road, or a short domestic flight).

What's the cheapest way to fly to Cambodia?

A typical Economy return runs £600–£900. Connecting via Guangzhou (China Southern) is often among the cheapest options; Etihad via Abu Dhabi is currently the single most popular route among UK travellers.

What is Techo International Airport?

Techo International Airport (KTI) is Cambodia's brand new main airport, which opened in September 2025 and fully replaced the old Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH). If you're booking flights or checking older travel guides, make sure they reference KTI, not the old PNH code, which no longer operates.
