Sorry for the late reply, we have Rice fields growing all Year long, of course there are three months a Year (we do three harvest) were the paddies are empty, still it is possible during that time to see the buffaloes at work ploughing them, the gardeners are spreading the compost, following transplanting manually the little new plants of rice. We try to privilege the high season in having the rice paddies full, still we can not oblige Nature to follow our wills! At this moment we finished few days ago the transplanting, as such by December we should have all paddies grown and looking green, by the end of December we should start seeing the first rice kernels and by end of January beginning of February we will do next harvest. As said all this depends on how Nature will treat us! Hope I have answer your question

It takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes by Tuk Tuk or car. You could walk it however at night it would not be advisable as the road is quite dark with limited lighting. Kind regards, Colin Bryan General Manager

Dear Talha K, Thank you for your question. Yes your rooming request is possible. (2 plus 2 is the standard setup). I would propose king size bed for you and your husband, extra bed and use of the sofa bed for your children aged 5 and 6 and we could perhaps even add a cot for your 1 year old or, as you suggest, the child could sleep with you. We have a fully manned children's club with lots of activities for children. We can also provide babysitting for your children should you require this service. Should you have any further questions we are only too happy to assist. Kind regards, Colin Bryan Resort Manager

Thank you for your question. Living here in Siem Reap and working at Phum Baitang I think all year round is a good time to visit Cambodia and in particular Siem Reap but then I may be a little biased. Let me address your question by splitting the year into months in quarters…….. The best time to visit Siem Reap is January for most people as this is one of the coolest months of the year and it is also dry season. During January the skies are clear most days so it perfect for sunrises and sunsets. February, like January is probably the busiest month of the year in Siem Reap as it is high season. The weather in Siem Reap during February is near perfect as the climate is cool, the skies are blue and the sunrises and sunsets are amazing most days. Of course, because it is high season, there are many tourists at this time of year at the Angkor temples. The weather in March is very pleasant and I would recommend March as one of the best times of year to visit Cambodia. The climate in Siem Reap is quite cool most days. The weather in April can be very hot and humid with the climate a bit unpleasant at times. However, April is a good time to visit the Angkor temples as it is generally much quieter during this time of year. The Khmer New Year also falls in this month if you would like to join in some New Year celebrations. May is a good month to visit Siem Reap as it is much quieter than most other months. The climate in May is quite warm but with a bit of careful planning you can have a really good time. May is also the beginning of the rainy season but there is normally little rain during this time of year and when it does rain it is normally in the late afternoons or early mornings. May is the start of the rice planting season in Cambodia but at Phum Baitang we plant and harvest rice all year round. June in Siem Reap is quite warm and the rainy season has started in earnest. Even though June is part of the rainy season it is a good time to visit Siem Reap. The weather is not very hot as the few showers Siem Reap get generally cool the air to make it a more pleasant climate. June is also a great time to visit Siem Reap as the Angkor temples see fewer visitors at this time of year. One of the best times of year to visit Siem Reap is July as the weather is not very hot and the rain is normally in the evenings or during the night. July is a popular month for visiting Siem Reap for many families as this is a time when many schools are on holiday. Another good time to visit Cambodia is during the month of August. The weather is not very hot and the rainy season is not fully upon us but the landscapes are starting to look very green. August is a good month to visit the Angkor temples if you want to keep away from the big crowds of high season. There is more rain in August than there is in July but the rain is normally during the night or late afternoons. September is one of the wettest months in Cambodia but do not let it put you are off visiting Siem Reap. During September the vegetation is lush and green and the Angkor temples are so peaceful. October is cool and wet with day temperatures between 20 and 30 degrees celsius. October is one of the wettest months of the year so a light rain coat is advised, because it can rain at anytime, although it normally starts around 4pm. Strong trainer type shoes with a good grip are also recommended for climbing the temples as the stone is often wet and slippery. October is one of the nicest months of the year for scenery especially if you are interested in photography, as this is when the countryside is lush and green with rice fields stretching for miles. The weather in Siem Reap during November is very pleasant as the rains have almost stopped the blue skies are starting to appear and the weather is cooler. One of the best times to visit Siem Reap is during November as the weather is almost perfect and the sunrises and sunsets are generally pretty good. November is still the start of the high season so the Angkor temples are not busy like January and February. November is normally the month that the Cambodian Water festival is held where you will see boat races in Siem Reap. The best time to visit Cambodia is early to mid December as everything is perfect. The weather in Siem Reap is cool and dry with blue skies. The sunrises and sunsets during December are normally very good every day there are not so many tourists around the Angkor temples.
