Sept Oct in Siem Reap

As for me being "wrong again", while you're busy "looking it up" on your computer, I'm busy living and working here in Cambo.
July and August were very heavy, so far Sept has been dry. (only 1 week, but, there wasn't a dry week in Aug)
I asked my Khmer building foreman "how are we looking weather wise from now on", he said "The rain starts slowing down now from Sept, we should be right".

But, maybe a Khmer who has worked in the building trade for 10 years in Cambodia and myself, who is living here also, don't really know as much as a few internet addicted people sitting in there homes in the west.
"But we looked it up!!"

Wrong again on almost all counts. Tell your foreman to come ask me. I'll set him straight.

Please, have a look.

Pretty short-fused, today, eh, grooger? About time, you find some local-owned businesses to slag off again - helps to ease off your inner tension a bit - it's only a pity, that with this, as well, you'll be wrong! Oh, and before attacking someone of being "internet addicted people sitting in there (sic!) homes in the west", I advise you to look up their bio - makes you look just a liitle less like a complete idiot (but not really much)...

...nice one, GoShar & Fools!

I would tend to think it's fine to visit during those months. The advantage is that there are less tourists around ('less' does not mean 'no'). But if you're a sunset fanatic, you may be disappointed, because of rains at that time of the day.

Thanks again to all the positive responses. However the frustration exhibited by some of the respondents has been less than useful - distracting and makes me wonder if the site is appropriately monitored? That said I guess free-speech etc is a good thing but maybe fools, groogers and so on should have a quite chat somewhere other than this discussion board.

Thanks. In the future when someone offers incorrect information that could adversely affect someone's travel plans, we'll be sure to keep our mouths shut. Might not do much for the value of this forum as a place to get accurate information but at least everyone will be happy and full of smiles.
