When to visit

The best time to visit the South Coast of Cambodia is during the dry season from November to April when the weather is sunny and dry. The wet season from May to October brings heavy rainfall and rough seas, making it less ideal for beach activities. However, the lush green landscapes during this time can also be a beautiful sight for nature lovers.

Getting around

Getting around the South Coast is relatively easy with options like tuk-tuks, motorbike taxis, and rental bicycles available for short distances. For longer journeys, buses and private taxis are convenient and affordable. Boat tours are also popular for exploring the nearby islands and beaches.

Traveller tips

Make sure to carry enough cash as ATMs may be limited in some areas of the South Coast. It's also advisable to pack sunscreen, insect repellent, and light clothing for the tropical climate. Bargaining is common in markets and with street vendors, so don't be afraid to negotiate prices. Learning a few basic phrases in Khmer, the local language, can also enhance your travel experience. Lastly, be respectful of the local customs and traditions, such as removing your shoes before entering someone's home.
