time of year to visit cambodia

[garygx]

I received some advice recently that I might reconsider an April visit to Cambodia based on weather/temperature at that time.  Does anyone else have feedback/experience regarding this?

That is considered the hottest month of the year in Cambodia so be warned.

I was in phnom pehn in April last year.

Living in Western Australia, I'm used to the heat, but PP was on a different scale. The heart radiating up from the pavement and coming from the surrounding buildings was unbearable. At one stage I felt dizzy as I was walking and had to duck into a coffee shop to cool down.

I survived for about a week and then had to come home.

I was told to avoid April to June, by a local.

ok it looks like I got some great advice. I know this is not the Vietnam forum.... but how about Ho Chi Minh in April? Maybe for a week?
