Green Season in Siem Reap



Cambodia is interesting destination especially Siem Reap, Temples during green season falling between April to October. During this low season (Cambodia classification period between April to October) and you will enjoy a different perspective with better room accommodation rate, and less crowd.


Country side is also recommended area where you will find our local people implement their traditional ways of agriculture and plantation. April and May is the hottest time of the year and very dry but with some rain fall. Whilst you will definitely expect more rain from June to October especially September. Here are some of the reasons why we recommend you visiting Siem Reap during this period:

Less crowd in temples  

Each temple especially the main temples you must visit Siem Reap including Angkor Wat, Angkor Thom, Ta Phrom, Nak Phon, Banteay Srey … If you like watching sun rise, you will be no disturbance and convenient to take your own photos. If you head out to the remote temples like Koh Ker, Beng Mealea you will not find as many as tourists and your first-hand-experienced-local tour guide will take you to some lesser known temples inside Angkor Complex. Sunset is also convenient that you should not be missed!


During this season, you will find Cambodia is at the most natural and beautiful green. Rice paddies are interesting and the moats surrounded temples especially the Angkor Wat’s moat and Baray are full of water. You will expect spectacular sunsets.



Take sometime of your whole holiday in Siem Reap to explore local villages where are about 15 minutes’ drive from Sabara Angkor Resort & Spa. Experience on Tuk-Tuk, the man made trailer, or on Jeep with our driver. 

During July to October, it will be more rain and cooler

Raining will break up the heat inspiring your day. Spend more time in temples or in villages will also be nice. 

The lake – Lonle Sap Lake

There are choices of the floating villages you must visit including Kompong Pluk, Kompong Khleang and Chhong Khneas. Water levels are getting higher from July and high from august to October and can lasted till November of the year making it much easier to explore villages by boat. Visit in August and September and the water levels completely flood the mangroves, which is a beautiful sight and it laps at the front steps of the stilted houses.



Please note that you will pay for boat ticket which is exclusive of Angkor ticket!

Note: If you booking your accommodation at Sabara Angkor Resort, we offer complimentary round trip transfers from Siem Reap International airport, Siem Reap bus station or from the lake pot. Please advise us your flight details or your accurate time of arrival if you travel by bus.
