Weather at the moment
Weather all year round
Cambodia's hot and humid climate is conditioned by the monsoons which determine the two seasons, dry (from November to the end of May) and wet (from the end of May to October), and finally by the north-western and south-eastern orientation of its seafront. The most difficult period to support weather level in Cambodia is the end of the dry season when temperatures can rise up to 40°C...
Budget
Be careful, the vast majority of Cambodia's population is poor, but the cost of living for foreigners is higher than in other Asian countries. Cambodia is not a very cheap country. The national currency is the real currency but the dollar is also used throughout the country. You can pay and withdraw with your credit card in big cities especially, plan cash for more remote areas. Tips are not mandatory but 10% of the score is welcome.
Health
No vaccination is required to travel to Cambodia. However, vaccines against diseases such as viral hepatitis A and B, diphtheria, tetanus, poliomyelitis, typhoid, Japanese encephalitis (prolonged stay in rural areas), rabies ("adventurous" tour) are recommended. If you are an adventurer of a completely different kind, know that AIDS is also very present in Cambodia. Most water is not drinkable.
