The most popular time to visit — minimal rain and the best conditions for exploring Angkor Wat. Gets hottest March–April.
Frequent afternoon downpours, fewer tourists, lush green countryside, and typically cheaper flights and hotels.
The most comfortable stretch within the dry season — the single best window for temple-heavy itineraries.
Cambodia's biggest draw — the vast Angkor temple complex.
Cambodia's capital — the Royal Palace, riverside promenade, and important history.
A laid-back island escape — white sand beaches and bioluminescent plankton.
Southeast Asia's largest freshwater lake, with floating villages.
Remote northeast highlands — waterfalls and ethical elephant sanctuaries.
Riverside charm, famous pepper farms, and a low-key beach town.
London Heathrow is the best UK airport for connecting to Cambodia from Beckenham, 18.8 miles away. There's no direct route from anywhere in the UK, so Heathrow's advantage is its wide choice of connecting airlines (Thai Airways via Bangkok, Etihad via Abu Dhabi, Qatar via Doha and more), not distance from you.
No — there are currently no direct flights from the UK to Cambodia. Every route connects via a hub, most commonly Bangkok, Abu Dhabi, Doha, or Dubai. Total journey time is typically 17–24 hours including the connection.
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.
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). Make sure any flights or older guides you're checking reference KTI, not the old PNH code.
