The plateau where Sen Monorom is located is about 3000 feet above sea level, making it a cool region for Cambodia. The climate plays a particularly important role and you'll need to consider it in your travel plans. The rainy season makes access to the town complicated because of landslides. As for winter, don't forget your fleece, because it gets cold at night!

Sil Island is called that because of the numerous silk weavers who perpetuate their skills. You can spend a day here , cycling around and discovering the real, authentic Cambodia.

If you like nature, don't miss the Botum Sakor national park, situated in the Cardamom mountains in the south-west of Cambodia. It's a haven of peace that is still protected from deforestation, where you can admire the diverse flora and fauna of the country.

A truly iconic place to visit when in Cambodia, Angkor Wat is the most famous temple of the vast ancient city of Angkor. It represents the earthly city of the gods, and its finely detailed architecture enables you to delve into the very heart of Buddhist history.

I immediately liked Kampot: it's a nice quiet city, and lively at the same time. It is very cosmopolitan: many expatriates live in beautiful harmony with the locals. I also found that you eat very well in Kampot, as many restaurants with various flavours blend together.  When it comes to activities, for sports travel enthusiasts, one can really have fun on the river by spending a morning kayaking, and then enjoying the afternoon on a boat admiring the sunset. Several boats await your arrival and depart around 4 p.m. for a trip.  The nearby caves are also worth a family outing.  In my opinion, Kampot is a city that's worth the side trip during a <a href="/cambodia/">trip to Cambodia</a>: a quad ride, a day of climbing or a cooking class to learn how to cook the famous Kampot pepper crab are all unique activities that made my stay in Kampot really enjoyable.

Kampot is known for its beautiful colonial architecture and for its pepper.

I arrived in Kampot late in the day,  after a few hours on a bus from Siem Reap. I had heard about the super guesthouses located outside the city along the river. But alas, they were all full. So I went back to the town centre. Kampot's city centre is nice, having a strange roundabout with a huge durian standing in the centre. There are lots of nice restaurants, including the very chic Rikitikitavi, if you want to drink some good cocktails in the light of the lanterns.  The next day, I took a trip by tuk-tuk to see the famous pepper producers before heading to Kep. I wanted to see Bokor National Park, but several travellers I encountered along the way changed my mind about doing that. Since a luxury hotel was built, the places have lost their charm and character. It's too bad, because the jungle and the little French church <a href="/cambodia/">seemed like a beautiful Cambodian destination!</a>

Like Kep, Kampot is a charming village where time seems to have stood still, and a place where you can enjoy the star of local cultural heritage: the pepper that made the village famous.

This is the time when Cambodia is most visited and so, in some popular places, can seem a little crowded. If you’re keen to enjoy dry, hot weather with no chances of rain then travelling during this period is the choice for you, however, it is advisable to book accommodations a little in advance since they can fill up. Contrary to its name, rainy season is not filled with constant downpour, but rather sees rainfall for around an hour every day, and usually in the afternoon or evening. This brief daily shower rarely puts off plans but can be quite dramatic and sudden. For the other hours of the day, bright sunshine is accompanied with green scenery as plant life and trees flourish during this season and it is generally considered to be the time when the country is at its most scenic. April and May are very hot and humid, and may be overwhelming for younger visitors who could find dramatic storms frightening, however this can be the perfect time to visit with older children and teenagers since they will be able to enjoy the hot summer mornings and then relax in the shade of a palm tree and have an afternoon siesta during the hot midday hours.
