From May to October is the wet season, with September tending to be the peak of the monsoon. At this time of year, dramatic skies cast a beautiful light on the iconic temple complex of Angkor, making it a popular time of year with photographers. It rarely rains for more than two or three hours at a time and there is still a good chance of sun each day. If you’re not deterred by the rain, these months can be a good time to travel to experience fewer crowds and lower prices.
