Remember:

May is not the best month to travel to in Cambodia. The weather in Battambang, Kratié, Poipet, Koh Kong and Phnom Penh is OK but just acceptable. The sun is not there all the time and you may be faced the rain regularly. Nonetheless, if you don't plan a pool & relaxation travel but rather cultural visits or walking, this climate may be good enough for you. In addition, there are definitely fewer tourists at this time.
But it gets worse: in Kampot, Krong Ban Lung, Krong Kaeb, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville and surrounding areas where the climate is very bad. It is really not advisable to travel to these areas in may.
