What you gain in November
- ↑The most underrated month in Siem Reap: dry season conditions returning, temples still green and atmospheric from the rains, and accommodation at shoulder prices
- ↑Bon Om Touk Water Festival (if not in October): the boat racing on the Siem Reap River and the fireworks over Angkor are the most spectacular free event in Cambodia
- ↑Temple vegetation at its most dramatic — Ta Prohm's tree roots glistening, Angkor Wat's moat full, jungle paths lush — without July's rain disruption
What you sacrifice
- ↓Early November still transitional: rain can return for multi-day stretches, particularly in the first week as the dry season is not yet fully established
- ↓Visitor numbers rising toward December peak: Siem Reap's Pub Street, riverside restaurants, and tuk-tuk drivers at higher demand than September
- ↓Water Festival timing uncertainty: planning around it requires checking the lunar calendar date each year
