March to May
With cooler temperatures averaging between 20–30°C and generally drier days, spring is one of the best times to visit both Vietnam and Cambodia.

June to August
Summer in Vietnam and Cambodia is vibrant and atmospheric. While you can expect warm temperatures and glorious sunshine, it is also pre-monsoon season, meaning heavy but brief showers are common and leave the landscapes looking lush and revived. You’ll also find fewer crowds at highlights such as the Củ Chi Tunnels and Angkor Wat, alongside a lively calendar of local festivals to enjoy.
September to November
Despite a drop in temperatures and a slight increase in showers, the weather remains pleasant, with far less humidity. The Mid-Autumn Festival takes place on the full moon between September and October, offering a wonderful opportunity to enjoy lively gatherings, vibrant dragon and lion dances, and other spirited celebrations.

Winter is also ideal for a scenic river cruise along the Mekong Delta.

Wander bustling streets, sample aromatic pho, fresh seafood, tropical fruits, or local snacks like banh mi and Cambodian num pang.
