Climate - The best time to visit Bali is
from from April to October as this is the cooler
dry season. From November to March the weather
is humid and cloudy with more rain, but is still
not a bad time to go.
Tourists
- July, August and early September are
the busiest months. Accommodation is usually
more difficult to find in these months and prices
are general higher. Also from Christmas until
the end of January it is quite busy due to the
Australians and Indonesians visiting Bali for
Christmas. Besides these times of the year Bali
doesn't really have all that many tourists.
Festivals
- There are lots of of Balinese festivals,
holidays and special celebrations happening
all the time in Bali, so there is no need to
worry about coordinating your visit with local
events.

humidity, cooler temperatures and less rain make December
and January the best months to visit Cambodia. The
wet season in Cambodia is from May to October, even
though it can get very wet it is also a good time
to visit Angkor, as the moats will be full and the
foliage that much more lush. Beginning
in February the temperature continues to climb getting
hotter by the month so once in April the temperatures
are almost unbearable.
Festivals
- "Bon Om Tuk" is Cambodia's biggest
festival and is held in the beginning of November.

the humidity drops below 60%.

season is from December to May with temperatures rising
above 30 degrees Celsius. From June to November is

yourself in a typhoon. Typhoon season runs from the

Filipino style.
