Is this city busy all year round or is there a low season period like Thailand?

there used to be a low (and unbearably hot) season between May and September, but with the Chinese invasion of Cambodia in full swing, there is not much of a low season anymore. Still, hotel rates tend to be a lot lower during those months (but did I mention it is HOT as hell then?)

Hotter than Ayuthaya? Found the old temples very hot there in May.

At the monuments there is a lack of shade so yes, hotter,

Correct, although there are always tons of westerners (farang) too, irrespective of time of year. Not just Chinese.

you can avoid the heat by going on a sunrise temple tour, 5am pick up, back to your hotel at lunch time.

to me that was enough...a 3-day temple tour will put me in a coma.
