Our advice: the best boutique accommodation option in Kampong Thom, Sambor Village is suitable for travelers looking to experience life in a quiet provincial town without giving up the conveniences of the modern world. Situated mid-way between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, the resort also makes an inviting stopover for those looking to break up the overland journey between these two cities.

When to go?
Similar to Siem Reap, Kampong Thom has two distinctive seasons: rainy from June to October and dry from November to May. Traveling during the rainy season has its benefits as landscapes are lush and great for photo opportunities. The rains are usually in the afternoon and last 2-3 hours. The dry season can be very dusty, but easier for sightseeing. The temperature hovers around 30-35 ºC during the day time, although November to January often experience cooler temperatures.
