Phnom Penh Local Custom Tips by keeweechic

Climate Useful informations Review

The climate is tropical and has three major seasons. The nicest season is the dry season from November to March where the temperatures are cooler (average temperatures 20 - 28C). The hot season lasts from March to June (average temperatures 28-35C) and the rainy season from May to early October. I was there in early April and it was pretty hot.

Electricity Useful informations Review

Electricity is 220v 50hz. There are two types of plug with some outlets a combination of both. That is the 2 flat pin and 2 round pin. Some British plugs outlets can also be found at some hotels.

Some credit cards can be used. In my hotel I could pay any additional charges with my credit card but I could not buy a book from the hotel on a credit card (unless I had it charged to my room).
