Climate

Fear not about the climate as Cambodia is known for its warmth and humidity – the perfect tropical climate. However, it’s best if you avoid the monsoon season as the rain can cause certain countryside roads to be impassable.

Economy

Foreign tourism plays a big role in the Siem Reap province, mainly due to the famous Angkor Temples. Apart from tourism, the fishery is the other contributor to the economy – as thousands of tons are exported to the other provinces with the country and outside of Cambodia.
