Phnom Penh

A quick read on Phnom Penh and what to expect

Phnom Penh draws most bookings for city tours and river cruises, and the booking rhythm swings noticeably through the year. Demand peaks in June and falls to a low in May, so the city sees clear high- and low-season periods that shape how busy popular experiences feel.

When to visit and how prices move

Klook booking data shows the busiest month is June, while May is the quietest of the year. Prices drift through the year and — according to Klook data — April typically shows the highest average prices and June typically the lowest, meaning price and demand don’t move exactly in step. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for May or June when activity is quieter and Klook prices are typically at their lowest; for the peak-season atmosphere, visit in June when bookings are highest.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most experiences in Phnom Penh on Klook can be booked close to travel: Australians typically lock things in about a day ahead, with early planners booking roughly a week out. If you’re flexible, you can often grab tours or cruises at short notice; if you travel in June (the busiest month), consider booking a few days earlier to secure your preferred time.
