Climate
Cambodia's climate falls into the pattern of the southern monsoons that also hit neighboring Thailand and Vietnam from May to November. The seasonal temperature varies little, meaning that it's always hot (a yearly mean of about 82°F/28°C), and the best time to go is in the dry season from December to April. Wear light, loose clothing, preferably cotton, and bring a hat.
Public Holidays & Events
Independence Day is November 9 (1953) and is celebrated throughout the country like the American July 4th. October 31 is King Sihanouk's Birthday, and Khmer New Year is in the middle of the month in April. There are water festivals and boat races at the end of November, and the Angkor Festival is held at the end of July.
