Angkor Wat’s weather is normally dry and also cool in the November until February, so we recommend you to Travel to Angkor at that time since it has the average temperature of 25 – 30 degree Celsius while the other month can be so hot up to 40 degree Celsius. Also, we recommend you to not visit in a big event, such as New Year and Christmas Day or you will get crowds. The humidity in Ancient Angkor Wat is always high every year.
