Introducing Cambodia

Centuries of heritage, unbelievable natural beauty, and friendly locals make this welcoming destination a premier stop for all travel enthusiasts.

When is the best time to visit?
There’s no bad time of year to visit Cambodia, but the main tourist season happens when temperatures are coolest from November through February. To avoid some of the crowds, visit towards the end of the country’s dry season, which extends all the way into May. 

Where to go in Cambodia?
For an iconic Cambodian experience, tour the temples of the ancient city of Angkor. Additionally, there are many undiscovered off-the-beaten-path gems, like the untouched island beaches of Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem, the up and coming bustling city of Phnom Penh, and the 216 stone faces carved at Angkor Thom. 

How many days do I need?
Budget at least 6 days in Cambodia to explore the temples and also get to know the vibrant community.

This adventure to a floating village is not for the faint of heart. I found it very challenging but it's one of the experiences I think about most often now that I'm home. Crazy to see 500 families living in floating homes. The river is their life and the sanitation made me woozy. I didn't eat a thing that was served since there was no clean water or soap in the vicinity, but it was eye opening, to say the least.

Dear Kirstin,
Thank you very much for the detailed feedback. We do appreciate it.
We were delighted to read that Len was your best guide ever. And Sukin also did an excellent job. There are two of our favourite guides who are both very passionate about Cambodia.
We will share the comments about Farmhouse Resort so they can mention to the guide to translate and interact more with the guests. Previous feedback was fine, but it might be a newer guide. In any case, it's good to reinforce they do need to translate, even if it's just chit chat, so guests know what is being talked about.
Also, we definitely noticed you did not enjoy the Heritage tour. It is designed to provide an insight into a certain period of Cambodian history. Exploring all the stops with a local guide would take more than a day. However, yes, it's produced by a French expat. We will reevaluate and make sure if it is appropriate for all guests.
Thanks again for travelling with us in Cambodia. It was a pleasure to catch up briefly at your Siem Reap hotel and hope that when planning your next trip you check with Kimkim to see if they have a local expert to assist in your travel planning.

The country combines amazing beauty with a dark and controversial history, and the KimKim guides gave us a full and fascinating exposure to it all.

Poleak and Sreylan are both excellent guides who made the trip very enjoyable. Their input and know-how made this truly a holiday to remember. We were able to balance nicely the cultural aspects of Cambodia (historic temples and the shocking history of the killing fields) with fun activities such as bike tours and the wide range of foods available in the country. Top marks all round.
