Each cell is that destination's own verdict for the month — sweet spot, ok or avoid — with its typical daily high, from the same ten years of climate readings its page is built from. A dot marks a busy month. The last row counts the sweet spots, and the best months are marked.

On arrival

Apps — Rides: Grab. Maps: Google Maps. Grab books cars as well as tuk-tuks and remorques, the last two at a fixed fare set upfront; with a tuk-tuk hailed in the street, agree the fare before you get in.
Paying — US dollars and riel are both used, and change often comes in riel; dollar coins are not taken. Only upmarket places, supermarkets, restaurants and hotels take cards, usually with a 3% surcharge. Or use the National Bank's Bakong Tourists app: link a Visa card or Mastercard, top it up and scan the KHQR codes that shops show.
UPI, for visitors from India — Works at KHQR merchants across Cambodia, from restaurants and shops to tourist sites: scan the KHQR code with your UPI app.
Getting around Angkor Wat — Buy the Angkor Pass only from Angkor Enterprise, on its website or app, at its kiosks or at its ticket office on Road 60, 4 km from central Siem Reap: $37 for one day, $62 for any three days within a week, $72 for any seven days within 30 days; carry it, as it is checked at almost every temple. Get around by tuk-tuk or remorque, booked in Grab or with the fare agreed first. From the airport, the official shuttle bus runs to 7 Makara Road in town for $8, and Grab picks up 60 metres from the international exit.
Emergency — police 117 · ambulance 119 · fire 118. In Siem Reap, the tourist police office is next to the ticket booth for the Angkor temples.
TravelCharika is not an emergency service: we cannot call for help or send anyone. Numbers can change; if one fails, ask someone local or your hotel.

Every verdict here is the destination's own: ten years of climate readings, the public holidays that crowd it, and what the flight costs. Nothing is said about Cambodia as a whole that was not first measured at each place in it.
