August is a secret destination of travelers who are fond of adventure, culture, and the tropical beauty of Cambodia. Although August is in the rainy season, the rain usually comes in short showers, and the sunny hours are plentiful, in which one can explore. This is the ideal period to go island hopping, with places such as Koh Rong, Koh Rong Samloem, and Koh Ta Kiev having crystal clear waters, green veg and a quieter vibe than high season. The beaches are less crowded, the rates are lower in accommodation, and the marine life is spectacular, making snorkeling and diving an experience that cannot be forgotten. And outside of the islands, there are cultural treasures in Cambodia to be found, which dazzle in August, including the amazing Angkor Wat temples, the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, and the unusual floating villages of Tonle Sap Lake. We create itineraries at Redwood Holidays to ensure that the weather patterns, ferry schedules, and sightseeing opportunities complement each other, and you get the best of the Cambodian islands and mainland in a single tour. August can be one of the best times to visit Cambodia, especially when planned properly as a solo traveler, couple, or family.
