Angkor Wat Travel Forum

Hi,
I've been warned against visiting Angkor in April due to the weather. Is it really that oppressive then and best avoided?
Thanks

Hi, I was there in April last year, and the weather was extremely hot, I felt like I couldn't breathe at times, but then, I am asthmatic, (but not bad) I am used to hot weather, and this would have to be the hottest I have experienced. Of course, it didn't stop me from walking the whole of the 3days looking at the Temples. The plus at this time of the year, is there aren't a lot of tourists, so you can get nice photos without a lot of people in them. You can always go back to your Hotel and cool off!

Trying to predict the weather can be difficult because of local on the day variations.
