To rikko77: in 4 years

[Manamo]

Hello, just to set things straight, it's in 4 years...not one year!!:P

About Cambodia in august. I am not a specialist, but the classic time to go there is december to april as it's cooler and there is less rain, which means that there should be less tourists in august. But the good thing is that when it rains, it's just a strong flash. Which means, it's hot most of the day, but then it will rain strongly for a short period of time. The day I arrived in Siem Reap for example, the streets were all flooded...it was very hard to circulate there...the remaining 3 days were VERY hot and everything dried very quickly; the day after our arrival, the streets were dry. I was there at the end of the wettest month and most of the time I was there, it was only sun.

It's too bad that Bangkok is such a mess right now because it is a good transit to get to Cambodia...Vietnam is not bad either. You can fly to Saigon and then take a bus to Chau Doc. From there, you can pass the border by boat and get to Phnom Penh. It's a fun ride!!

you can see a thread about it there: http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowTopic...Siem_Reap.html
and an interesting graph here: http://www.worldtravelguide.net/coun.../Cambodia.html

Read a lot, get prepared and don't fear the weather...:P If you have more questions, go ahead!
