Cambodia In August: Island Hopping And Weather Tips

Dreaming of a tropical escape in August? Cambodia offers stunning island experiences, even during the green (rainy) season. While it may not be the peak tourist period, August brings its own charm—lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and a more authentic island vibe. Here’s what you need to know before planning your Cambodian island adventure.

🌦️ What’s the Weather Like in August?

Cambodia experiences its monsoon season from May to October. But don’t worry—August isn’t all-day rain. You can expect:

• ☀️ Mornings usually sunny
• 🌧️ Short, intense afternoon or evening showers
• 🌡️ Temperature: 24°C to 32°C (75°F to 89°F)
• 💧 High humidity, especially inland, but cooler by the coast

Pro Tip: Pack light clothing, a waterproof jacket, and quick-dry shoes or sandals.

🏝️ Best Islands to Visit in August

Despite the season, many of Cambodia’s islands are still accessible and ideal for a peaceful tropical retreat. Here are Travelx Tours’ top picks:

✅ Koh Rong

Known for its vibrant nightlife and long stretches of white sand, Koh Rong is perfect for beach lovers who enjoy a social vibe. There are also quiet bays like Long Set Beach for a more relaxed stay.

✅ Koh Rong Samloem

Just a short boat ride away, this island is the ultimate escape for serenity seekers. Ideal for snorkeling, kayaking, and relaxing in hammock-laden resorts.

✅ Koh Ta Kiev

This untouched gem is all about going off-grid. With no electricity or Wi-Fi in many parts, it’s a digital detox haven perfect for nature lovers and backpackers.
