What to know before visiting Phnom Penh
Phnom Penh at a glance — tours and river cruises lead the way
Phnom Penh’s bookings are driven mostly by tours and river cruises, with activity rising and falling noticeably through the year. Demand peaks in July and drops to its low point in March, so the city’s calendar has a clear high season rhythm.
When to visit — crowds, prices and best months
According to Klook booking data, July is the busiest month while March sees the lightest demand. Prices move differently from demand: Klook data shows September is typically the priciest month for activities, whereas July is usually the cheapest. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for March or other quieter months; if you’re after the peak-season atmosphere and the most activity, visit in July. Note that price and demand diverge here — the busiest month is not the most expensive.
Tips for travellers from Malaysia
Most travellers from Malaysia typically book about a day before activities, with some booking earlier up to around six days ahead, so you can be flexible when planning. For travel in July (the busiest month), consider locking in popular tours a few days in advance to secure your spot. Use Klook to compare local tours and river cruises and book the options that suit your schedule and budget.
