Ah, the wet season in Siem Reap! The mere mention of rain might send some travelers running for cover, but let me tell you, it’s not as bad as you might think. The monsoon season in Cambodia doesn’t have to put a damper on your vacation plans. In fact, I would argue that it’s actually one of the most beautiful times to visit this vibrant country.

The Green Season in Cambodia

No Tourist

Ah, the wet season in Siem Reap, where the Angkor temples become the ultimate fashionistas with their trendy green moss attire. It’s like they’re saying, “Look at me, I may be ancient but I can still rock a stunning shade of green!” And let’s not forget about the added bonus of having the place practically to yourself. It’s like having your own private tour of these magnificent ruins, with no one photobombing your perfect shot of a moss-covered temple. So while everyone else is flocking to Siem Reap during the dry season, you’ll be the smart one soaking in all the beauty of the wet season.
