The best time to visit Chi Phat is during the dry season, which runs from November to May.
This period offers pleasant weather with less humidity and virtually no rain, making it ideal for exploring the jungle, trekking, and enjoying outdoor activities. Temperatures are generally comfortable, ranging from 25°C to 30°C, great for long walks and wildlife spotting.
For travellers interested in wildlife, particularly birdwatching, the dry season is excellent as animals are more active and easier to spot near water sources. The trails are also much easier to navigate without mud.
Couples looking for an active and adventurous trip will find the dry season provides the best conditions for exploring the Cardamom Mountains, kayaking on the rivers, and visiting waterfalls.
