A practical October guide to Siem Reap as rainy season begins to ease, with Angkor and travel planning tips.
October is a transition
Rain can still be significant, but conditions begin moving toward the drier part of the year.
Green scenery
The landscape often remains lush after months of rain.
Temple days
Early mornings and flexible afternoons still work well.
Lake trips
Tonle Sap conditions can remain visually strong after the wet months.
My take
October can give you green scenery without committing to the heart of peak wet season.
