What to pack for Cambodia in the summer

In the summer, Cambodia experiences hot and humid weather, so it is important to pack light and breathable clothing.

Lightweight and loose-fitting tops and t-shirts made of cotton or other natural fibers are ideal for staying cool and comfortable in the heat. Bring along a few pairs of shorts and lightweight, breathable pants to keep cool while exploring.

Don't forget to pack a wide-brimmed hat to protect yourself from the strong sun, as well as sunglasses and sunscreen. Comfortable and supportive walking shoes are also essential, especially if you plan on exploring the temples and bustling streets of cities like Siem Reap or Phnom Penh. It's also a good idea to pack a lightweight rain jacket or poncho, as the summer months in Cambodia also bring occasional rain showers.

And don't forget a swimsuit if you plan on visiting coastal areas or taking a refreshing dip in the hotel pool.

In the summer, Cambodia experiences a hot and humid climate with temperatures often reaching upwards of 35-40°C.

The country also experiences monsoon season during the summer months, bringing heavy rainfall and occasional flooding. The combination of high temperatures and heavy rains can make for uncomfortable and challenging conditions, particularly in urban areas with poor drainage systems.

Despite the heat and rain, the lush landscapes of Cambodia thrive during this time, offering a vibrant and verdant backdrop for visitors.
