Best Time to Visit Cambodia
The best time to visit Cambodia is during the dry season, which runs from November to April. Within this window, November to February is ideal for luxury travelers as the weather is pleasantly cool and dry, perfect for exploring temples. March and April are significantly hotter, while the green season (May to October) offers lush landscapes and fewer tourists, though afternoon rain showers are common.
Currency & Money
Cambodia operates a dual-currency system using the US Dollar (USD) and the Cambodian Riel (KHR). For luxury travel, USD is the primary currency used for hotels, high-end dining, and tours. Ensure your bills are crisp and undamaged, as many places will refuse torn notes. Credit cards are widely accepted at luxury establishments, but carrying some KHR for small tips or local markets is recommended. Tipping is not mandatory but highly appreciated in the service industry.
Getting Around Cambodia
For a luxury experience, domestic flights between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap or Sihanoukville are the preferred method to save time. Within cities, private chauffeured cars or luxury SUVs are the standard for high-end travelers. For a touch of local charm, a 'remork' (Cambodian tuk-tuk) is fun for short distances, but for intercity travel, always opt for private transfers via the new expressways or short-haul flights to maximize your relaxation time.
