Cambodia Weather in January - green beauty

Ask one of our
Local Experts

 

 

The dry NE monsoon is well established with generally fine, dry weather. January in Cambodia is quite lovely. The weather is at its mildest, rainy days are very unusual (sunrises and sunsets are very reliable), and water levels around the Tonle Sap are still high, so boat trips are still good. These ideal conditions mean that prices are very much at their highest, with New Year deals at the top

    ABOUTAsia staff view: Why visit in January

    Andrew Hadcroft says: "I arrived in my new home country in January - so this will always be a special month for me. The weather is great - sunshine all day and I can hear the gnashing of teeth back home (in the UK) as I describe the clear skies and the breath-taking sunrises and sunsets."

    "Of course, these ideal conditions mean that hotel prices are very much at their highest. Not that my friends care - there is always a spare room in my new home for my friends and family"

    Khmer Proverb

    Metal gives rise to rust, which will always eat the metal in return

    Interpretation

    Reference to bad karma - i.e. evil act will eventually return to harm the individual who instigated it.
