The Cost of Travel in Cambodia: A Detailed Budget Breakdown

I’ve spent a lot of time in Cambodia.

This wonderful country has so much to offer its visitors. While it may be most famous for the magnificent Angkor Wat, you can’t forget about the beautiful beaches, spectacular islands, delicious food, hipster cafes, idyllic countryside, and welcoming locals. Yes, I absolutely adore Cambodia.

I’m fortunate to have spent three months in this country; splitting my time between five visits and multiple different travel styles. I’ve backpacked the country on an absolute shoestring, visited as part of a couple on a mid-range budget, spent a month working on the beach as a digital nomad, and splurged on some serious luxury for an unforgettable birthday treat for my partner. I even flew to Cambodia weeks after it opened up to the world post-pandemic and explored the country while few other tourists were around.

Most importantly of all, I tracked every single riel I spent on all five of these trips.

If you’re wondering how much it costs to travel in Cambodia, this is the post for you!

What to Know About Money in Cambodia

Cambodia’s currency is called the Riel (KHR) and one U.S. dollar is worth 4,000 riels. If you’re thinking that’s going to make calculations difficult, fear not: you’ll only really use riels when paying for small-ticket items.

It’s true: most people use U.S. dollars in Cambodia, so don’t be surprised to see many prices quoted in USD although both currencies are accepted everywhere. In convenience stores and markets, you’ll most likely be quoted in riel. The ATMs dispense U.S. dollars.

You can’t take any riels outside of Cambodia, so make sure you exchange any before leaving the country or you’ll be stuck with them. This also means you won’t be able to exchange your money into riels before you arrive in the country. But no worries — U.S. dollars will be more useful in Cambodia.

How Much Does it Cost to Get To Cambodia?

If you’ll be entering Cambodia from anywhere outside of Southeast and East Asia, you’ll be doing so via an indirect route. Yes, direct flights to Cambodia simply don’t exist from Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Oceania.

To find cheap flights from any of these regions, then, my recommendation is to hit up  Skyscanner .

Keep in mind that it’s always far cheaper to fly into Phnom Penh than it is to Siem Reap, as everybody wants to set eyes on the Kingdom of Angkor, so demand (and prices) are higher. When planning your trip, opt for your itinerary to kick off in the capital and it’ll help you save money on flights. I paid $100 to fly from Singapore to Phnom Penh via Siem Reap, and was shocked to see it would cost $200 to fly on the exact same flight to Siem Reap without continuing to Phnom Penh.

As always, the more flexible your plans, the easier you’ll find it to save money on flights. If you’re happy to fly into and out of different airports, you may be able to pick up a deal (flying into Phnom Penh and out of Siem Reap, for example), and if you’re happy to visit at any time of year, you’ll be able to pick and choose the best prices, too.

If you’ll already be in Southeast Asia, travelling overland into Cambodia will be your cheapest option: I’ve taken a van into Cambodia from Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam over the years, so I’m kind of an expert at these border crossings now. My biggest tip: expect to get scammed pay a bribe at most overland borders.

Yes, it’s corruption and yes, it sucks, but taking a stand unfortunately won’t change anything. You’ll be asked to pay $1-2 for a nonsense fee, although sometimes you do get lucky and aren’t asked for anything at all.

I usually book my transportation in Southeast Asia in advance through 12Go . You can check the prices of the border crossing journeys using their widget below. In general, you can expect to pay around $32 for a bus from Bangkok to Siem Reap, $25 from Saigon to Phnom Penh, or $40 from Don Det to Siem Reap.

The Cost of Accommodation in Cambodia

When it comes to saving money on accommodation, let’s start with the options for budget travellers.

The first of these is hostels. Cambodia has hostels blanketed across the country, and they’re one of your best options for saving money while still making friends. I always recommend staying in hostels if you’re going to be travelling solo!

And fun fact: I spotted the cheapest hostel from my travels in Cambodia! In Siem Reap, some friends of mine stayed in a 10-bed dorm for $0.50 a night ! Yeah, it was pretty grim, but if you’re running out of money and desperate to extend your travels, it’s could be worth it for you.

Hostels in Cambodia are similarly priced to elsewhere in Southeast Asia, so you can get by on not very much at all. You can expect to spend around  $5-10 a night for a dorm bed , and  $15 for a private room , so if you’re travelling as part of a couple, you may find you end up spending similar amounts for a private room, as opposed to going with two beds in a dorm.

If you’re on a really tight budget, you can stretch your riels out by making use of some of the free accommodation options in the country. Couchsurfing has been a backpacking staple for over a decade now, and there are  thousands of hosts  scattered across Cambodia. If a host agrees to let you stay with them, you’ll be able to gain an insight into life in Cambodia that’s always going to be tough to experience when staying with other travellers in hostels.

Housesitting is another option if you’re going to be trying to save as much money as possible but want to stay in nicer accommodation. Take a look at  Trusted Housesitters , where there are usually a handful of options up for grabs in the country. Housesitting allows you to stay in somebody’s house for free, usually while taking care of their pets, and is a fantastic way to spend more time in Cambodia without breaking the bank.

Finally, when it comes to free accommodation, you could also check out  WWOOFing . You’ll receive free lodging and food in exchange for working on a local organic farm for a few hours every day. You’ll likely make tons of new friends, learn a new skill, and see a side of Cambodia that few travellers get to experience.  WorkAway  is another option in Cambodia that’ll give you a free stay in exchange for a more diverse choice of work (think: volunteering in yoga studios, painting houses, and working in an eco resort on a paradise island).

In Cambodia, I don’t really recommend bothering with Airbnb. Prices are typically high and most of the time, it’s only guesthouses that are listing on there anyway — and at higher prices than they do on Booking .

Okay, but what if you’re not a budget traveller and just want to stay in a lovely, well-reviewed hotel or guesthouse that’s good value for money and has all the things you need from a place to lay your head? I’ve got you! I’ve visited Cambodia on a cheap-as-chips, mid-range, and high-end budget, and was blown away by how much I could get for my money. For around  $60 a night , you’ll be able to stay in a seriously impressive hotel.

Here are some of my favourite spots in the country.

Phnom Penh: Aquarius Hotel ($70 a night)

My new favourite Phnom Penh hotel! Aquarius Hotel is simply wonderful, and as one of the top-rated hotels in the city, an easy choice for me to make. It has the most incredible rooftop swimming pool, with sun loungers slotted around the water, and a spacious, airy bar with happy hour cocktails (buy 2, get 1 free) that we took advantage of every evening. The staff are wonderful, the rooms are clean and modern, and it’s in a fantastic location, within walking distance of all the main attractions. But really: it’s all about that rooftop infinity pool!

Kampot:   RikiTikiTavi ($75 a night)

I’ve stayed at RikiTikiTavi three times[!], so opting for this guesthouse now feels like a travel tradition for me. Fortunately, it’s just as lovely in 2024 as it was in 2012. It’s an adorable guesthouse in a central location, right on the banks of the river. The open-air restaurant makes for a particularly epic spot for catching the sunset each evening. The staff are wonderful, the rooms luxurious, and it’s also possible to hire motorbikes through reception to ride to Kep and back.

Kep: Q Bungalows ($25 a night)

I absolutely adored Q Bungalows; so much so that I extended my stay by a couple of nights because I wanted to soak up more of the property’s chill vibes. If I’d had an infinite amount of time in Kep, I think I’d have stayed for a couple of weeks. Here, it’s all about the wonderful owners! When I was unwell, one of the owners brough me a cup of ginger lemon tea, which was so sweet! The bungalows themselves are clean and spacious, with large balconies, and the swimming pool is wonderful! Yep, that’s $20 a night and you get access to a pool. I can’t recommend this place highly enough.

Siem Reap:   The Urban ($45 a night)

Talk about an incredible hotel! The Urban is one of my favourite hotels in Siem Reap. The staff are simply incredible, greeting you with so much warmth and doing everything they can to help you get the most out of your stay in Siem Reap. The pool is gorgeous, the rooms are luxurious as hell, and it’s in a wonderful central location. Do use their recommendation for a guide for Angkor Wat — he was amazing for us!

Koh Kong: Canvas and Orchids ($260 a night for a floating bungalow, or $190 for an island one)

Yep, this was definitely a hotel I visited on my high-end trip to Cambodia! But what a mind-blowing spot and something you can find nowhere else in the world. This floating hotel is located atop the Tatai River, in the southwest corner of the country, a few miles from the Thai border and surrounded by jungle. Nobody visits this part of Cambodia! You need to take a half hour boat journey to get there, and when you arrive? Nothing but silence .

At Canvas and Orchids, you’ll find no roads and no neighbours. It’s only accessible by boat and you’ll spend your time floating on the water in a permanent state of bliss.

You’ll have free use of the kayaks to explore Koh Andet, formerly a refuge from the Khmer Rouge and now home to a dozen farming families. Most of the hotel’s staff come from there. You’ll also have access to inflatable rings to float in down the river — a cold Angkor beer in hand — and we even received a free evening cruise to go firefly spotting in the jungle.

It was one of my greatest travel experiences ever.

The Cost of Transportation in Cambodia

Cambodia’s a small country and it’s home to a solid public transportation system.

Most people get around the country by bus or minivan, as it’s affordable and easy to book online with 12Go Asia . We booked all of our travels in Cambodia through them and couldn’t have been happier — especially as none of the local booking sites would accept our foreign cards.

The buses and minivans in the country are generally high-quality, although the roads can be poor, so expect a bumpy journey at times. Giant Ibis is the biggest and best bus company in Cambodia, covering most destinations in the country. Their buses come equipped with A/C, Wi-Fi, power sockets, and snacks. You can expect to spend around $10 for each bus ride . Otherwise, you’ll be jumping in minivans, which are all clean, comfortable, and have air conditioning.

One of the best aspects of travel in Cambodia is hitting the water and heading out to the islands. Koh Rong is the most popular destination — and for good reason — but Rabbit Island is a great option if you’re on a budget and like to head off the beaten track. The ferries average around $12 each way.

If you’re travelling in a group, you may find it more affordable to hire a private taxi through 12Go Asia and split the cost between you. If a bus is $15 each, for example, and a taxi is $100 and there’s four of you, it’s probably worth each paying the extra $10 to have a more comfortable journey.

For shorter distances, taxis and tuk-tuks are prevalent, and PassApp (the Uber of Cambodia) is available everywhere. Seriously: the one thing you should do when you arrive in Cambodia is download PassApp! It makes getting around so easy. Not having to bargain with tuk-tuk drivers and try to explain where you need to go then getting scammed and overcharged and… none of that’s a problem when you use PassApp!

Personally, I wouldn’t recommend hiring a car in Cambodia. The roads are bad, it’s tricky to get your hands on a Cambodian driving license, and simply isn’t worth the effort and hassle it’ll take to get it all set up.

I also want to mention flying in Cambodia. If you’re short on time, you may want to jump on a plane to skip the bad roads. On one of my trips, I only had a limited time in the country, so I flew between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, and from Kampot to Siem Reap, and paid around $50 for each of the flights with Angkor Air.

Here are some typical overland transportation costs you’ll come up against while you’re travelling in Cambodia. All prices are correct as of February 2024:

• Bus ride from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap:  $10
• Bus ride from Sihanoukville to Phnom Penh:  $10
• Minivan from Kampot to Kep:  $4.50
• Motorbike hire in Kampot for 24 hours:  $5
• Bus from Siem Reap to Battambang: $8
• Ferry from Sihanoukville to Koh Rong:  $12
• Ferry from Kep to Rabbit Island and back:  $7

The Cost of Food in Cambodia

Cambodian food is often overlooked by travellers in Southeast Asia; mistakenly viewed as bland and boring in comparison to fiery Thai dishes and complex Vietnamese soups. Don’t buy into the rumours: there’s plenty of delicious dishes to sink your teeth into in Cambodia.

Food in Cambodia is tasty and inexpensive, and you’ll never find yourself complaining about the cost of a meal. If you’re on a tight budget, dishes can be had for as little as $1 , which makes saving money incredibly easy. And yet, even when travelling this country on a higher budget, I still only averaged $5 a day or so on food. When the local food is so delicious, there’s no reason to pay more — and actually, it’s hard to find places with higher prices!

I loved diving into the food scene across Cambodia, and in particular, I enjoyed exploring the hipster cafe scene in Phnom Penh. I’d love to give a shout out to Backyard Cafe in Phnom Penh, for offering up some of the best avocado toast ( $8 ) I’ve ever had — and I’ve spent the past nine months in Melbourne; home of the smashed avo! Backyard Cafe is a great place to go if you’re craving healthy, whole foods, with plenty of vegan, keto, and paleo options. I also loved Idli Dosa for dosas ( $1 each ), and David’s Restaurant for phenomenal dumplings ( $2 for 6 ).

When it comes to local eats in Phnom Penh, my greatest recommendation is Sophath , where I had one of my best meals in the country. Serving up nom banh chok — otherwise known as Khmer noodles — you’ll be able to pick up a steaming bowl for just $1.25 . English isn’t spoken here, so you’ll simply point to one of the three steaming vats and prepare yourself for one of the tastiest dishes of your life.

If you’re looking to splurge on a date night and sample some of the best food in the country, consider heading to Malis in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap. Serving up experimental takes on Khmer food, it makes for an expensive meal, but it’s well-worth a visit if you love your high-end restaurants. We went for Valentine’s Day and it was the perfect way to celebrate! For $150 (I know), we each sampled the six-course tasting menu and shared a bottle of wine. (If you skip the fancy tasting menu, main courses are $10-20 each )

I recommend pairing a trip to Malis with a visit to Juniper Gin Bar in Phnom Penh — a fancy rooftop joint that overlooks the riverside. You’ll pay around $5 for a cocktail here; all of the ones we tried were fantastic.

If you want to impress your friends back home and sample something truly adventurous, add the town of Skuon to your Cambodian itinerary. This spider-filled town is packed full of tarantulas and everywhere you go, you’ll find them fried up, piled high, and ready to be eaten. Yes, really. The cost? 2,000 Riels, or 50 cents. In Battambang, you’ll be able to sample barbecued field rats — at a price of 25 cents each.

Cambodia’s tap water is absolutely not safe to drink — and I have the gut dysbiosis to prove it — so take care not to brush your teeth with the water and keep your mouth firmly shut in the shower. Nearly every guesthouse I’ve stayed at in Cambodia has provided free daily water bottles, but if not, they’re less than $1 for a 1.5-litre bottle from convenience stores. Pretty much every restaurant offers free water to patrons. I try to reduce my plastic consumption while travelling, so pack a Grayl water bottle with me. The Grayl removes all viruses, bacteria, and parasites from your water, and filters out particulates, chemicals, and heavy metals — so you can safely drink and us the tap water anywhere in the world!

In general, I’d recommend expecting to spend around $5 a day if you’re on a tight backpacker budget, $15 a day if you’ll be occasionally eating Western food restaurants, and $25 a day if you plan on eating at higher-end restaurants.

The Cost of Activities in Cambodia

When it comes to activities in Cambodia, you’re probably picturing one major attraction: Angkor Wat. Of course, it’s the one thing you have to do while you’re in the country. You can trust me on this: I’ve been on three separate visits! Yes, it’s going to be crowded and yes, it’s expensive, but it’s so, so worth it.

And if you hate crowds, it’s super-easy to get away from them. On my third visit to Cambodia, I knew I wanted to see the lesser-visited structures of Angkor and it was so easy to do. I hired a tuk-tuk driver for the day and asked him to take me to the quietest ruins where there would be no other tourists; to show me his favourite monuments.

I spent a fantastic day clambering over ruins, wandering through the jungle, and seeing just five or six people over the entire day. It was so worth the $37 for a one-day pass .

As of 2024, the cost of the three-day pass is $62 and the seven-day pass is $74 .

But what else is there to do in Cambodia? There’s plenty to keep you busy in this country, even if you don’t have much money to spend.

One of my favourite free things to do is explore the Cambodian coastline. Skip Sihanoukville, as it’s a construction site these days with nothing to do or see. Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem are beautiful island-escapes, and there’s even Rabbit Island, off the cost of Kep, if you want to get away from the crowds. Kampot is full of the most delicious food and Kep is all about the crabs.

In Phnom Penh, there’s a few attractions that are worth checking out: The Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda are $10 to enter, as is the National Museum of Cambodia. You’ll definitely want to head out to Choeung Ek Genocidal Centre — the Killing Fields — where entrance is $6 per person and includes an audio guide. Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum is $5 to enter, with an additional $3 for an audio guide. You’ll pay just $1 for a visit to Wat Phnom; it’s absolutely worth the entrance fee.

In Siem Reap, when you’re not exploring Angkor, check out Phare, the Cambodian circus , which costs $18 per person. There’s tons of day trips you can set out on, too. You can spend a day exploring Beng Mealea and Koh Ker  for $80 , take a Cambodian cooking class in a local’s home for $29 per person, sign up for an evening street food tour for $69 per group, spend the day at Phnom Kulen waterfall for $59 per person, or head out to marvel at the floating village of Kompong Phluk on Tonlé Sap at a price of $45 per person.

In Battambang, the main attraction is the bamboo railway. Yes, it’s touristy, but also so much fun. I really enjoyed riding the rails out in the countryside. You’ll pay $5 per person for a return trip. If you’re confident on a scooter, I recommend hiring one for a day or two and using it to explore as much of the countryside of Battambang as possible — this is one of my favourite things to do in the country! Nothing is too expensive here: we paid $1 to enter Phnom Banan, $2 to see Phnom Sampov, and $1 to hit up Ek Phnom temple.

Miscellaneous Expenses for Cambodia

The Cambodian visa: $30 plus a $6 processing fee

Cambodia now offers an e-visa for tourists, which takes a lot of the hassle out of entering the country. You apply through the official government website and it takes three days to process and be approved. The website is super-easy to use and it only takes around five minutes to apply for the visa. Double-check that your entry port accepts e-visas ( there’s a list on the site ), but the airports and most of the overland borders do.

If you can’t apply online for the e-visa, you’ll need to apply for a visa on arrival at the land crossing. Officially, it’s $30 for a visa, but you can expect to pay an additional few dollars in bribes.

A Cambodian eSIM, plus 1GB of data: $4.50

On my most recent trip to Cambodia, I tried using an eSIM for the very first time and I fell in love with its convenience. I used the company Airalo , and it was all so easy to set-up. Essentially, before you fly to Cambodia, you head to the Airalo site, purchase a Cambodian eSIM and credit, and activate it. It took five minutes and meant that as soon as my flight touched down in Cambodia, I was able to turn on my phone and have data.

As somebody who truly hates the rigmarole involved in buying local SIM cards, this feels like such a game-changer. With the Airalo app on my phone, I was then able to top up with data whenever I needed to, and purchase any further eSIMs as I travelled across Southeast Asia.

A Cambodia guidebook: $18

A guidebook will give you an in-depth look into Cambodian culture, suggest the perfect itineraries for the amount of time you have, and offer recommendations for where to eat and what’s worth doing. I always opt for Lonely Planet guidebooks because I love how they look on my bookcase at home, and their  Cambodia offering is great . As an added bonus, if you purchase through my link, you’ll receive a 10% discount on any of their guidebooks!

Travel insurance: $4 a day

I haven’t had the best of luck in Cambodia, health-wise. I’ve sprained my ankle, developed an infection in a wound, discovered I was allergic to sandflies, and battled through five cases of food poisoning; all of which needed antibiotics to eliminate them.

During the reign of the Khmer Rouge, the healthcare in this country was decimated. Of a population of 7 million, as many as 3 million are estimated to have died under Khmer Rouge rule, and many of those who perished were people with higher levels of education. By the end of it all, back in 1979, only 20 medical doctors remained in Cambodia.

Of course, the medical care is far better these days, and it’s always improving. But it’s still relatively poor. As a Cambodian tour guide once said to my partner’s parents: in Cambodia, you hope you have a heart attack while you’re in Thailand. Personally, I needed urgent medical help while travelling in Kep this year, and there was nothing available to me. The local hospital didn’t have a doctor, so my only option was to take a four-hour taxi to Phnom Penh to get help. In the end, I had to seek treatment at an international hospital in Thailand: a process that cost hundreds of dollars in medical bills.

Travel insurance is essential, not optional. I’ve seen far too many Go Fund Me campaigns from destitute backpackers in Southeast Asia, unexpectedly stranded in a foreign country after a scooter accident/being attacked/breaking a leg with no way of getting home or paying for their healthcare. If you can’t be treated in Cambodia, you’ll need to be airlifted to Thailand, Singapore, or even your home country. These costs can quickly land you with a six-figure bill to pay at the end of it.

In short, if you can’t afford travel insurance, you can’t afford to travel.

Travel insurance  will cover you if your flight is cancelled and you need to book a new one, if your luggage gets lost and you need to replace your belongings, if you suddenly get struck down by kidney stones and have to be hospitalised, or discover a family member has died while you’re overseas and need to get home immediately. If you fall seriously ill, your insurance will cover the costs to fly you home to receive medical treatment.

I use and recommend  SafetyWing  for travel insurance in Cambodia, as they’re one of the few companies out there who will actually cover you if you contract COVID-19. On top of that, they provide worldwide coverage, don’t require you to have a return ticket, and even allow you to buy coverage after you’ve left home. Finally, they have a clear, easy-to-understand pricing structure, which is always a bonus.

How Much Does it Cost to Travel in Cambodia?

With all that being said, how much can you expect to spend on a trip to Cambodia? How much should you budget if you plan to visit for a week, two weeks, or even a month?

I always end my budget breakdowns with the daily costs of my cumulative time spent in a country, as I know it’ll help you better plan out any upcoming travel expenses. In this case, because I visited Cambodia on both the backpacking and higher-end of the budget spectrum, I’m going to separate out my personal expenses into several sections.

I spent six weeks backpacking in Cambodia, during which I stayed in budget guesthouses (essentially the cheapest places that were still rated 9+/10 online, travelled by bus and minivan, ate street food, and visited Angkor Wat. On this trip, my costs averaged:

Accommodation: $8 a day Transportation: $5 a day Food: $9 a day Activities and entrance fees: $2 a day Total amount spent: $24 a day

Next, I spent two weeks travelling across Cambodia as part of a couple on a high-end and full-of-splurges trip. Over that time, I averaged:

Accommodation: $120 a day Transportation: $7 a day Food: $15 a day Activities and entrance fees: $3 a day Total amount spent: $145 a day

Most recently, I travelled around Cambodia on a mid-range budget, treating myself to well-rated accommodation with swimming pools, travelling overland by minivan, splurging occasionally on high-end meals and cocktail bars but generally eating on the streets, and hitting up Angkor Wat for the third time.

Accommodation: $40 a day Transportation: $8 a day Food: $18 a day Activities and entrance fees: $3 a day Total amount spent: $69 a day

As you can undoubtedly see, Cambodia is a high-value travel destination that can be visited on the most shoestring of budgets.

If you have the ability to splurge while you’re in the country, you’ll land yourself with some wonderful rooms and experiences, but the country is just as spectacular when you’re backpacking around.

But don’t you dare think about skipping Angkor Wat to save some money :-)

What a detailed, useful guide! Making notes of all of your top tips. How long do you think is the perfect length of time to travel in Cambodia?

You should review your position on Airbnb, I run a hotel in SIem Reap and our best rates are on Airbnb besides direct bookings. Booking.com is highway robbery for hotel owners in terms of high commissions, forced discounts etc … Thanks and good travels 🙏

Hey Lauren. Do you know if it’s possible to take a scooter up to Angkor Wat? Seeing a bunch of contrasting opinions online – some say you can do it, some say you can’t hire a scooter in Siem Reap. Any ideas? I’d love to explore on my own rather than taking a tuktuk!

Love Cambodia! Love your posts. I used this to plan my two weeks in Cambodia and had the most wonderful time. How amazing is Battambang?! So glad you recommended it so strongly otherwise I might have passed on visiting.

I wanted to say thank you for sharing such detailed and helpful information. I visited Cambodia a couple of years ago and found it to be very affordable – maybe the cheapest country in Southeast Asia? It’s definitely a destination I’d recommend to budget travelers and I’m glad to see prices haven’t increased too much in recent years.

Hello, Thank you for all of your information. I am looking at your recommendation for hotel’s in Cambodia: Phnom Penh: Aquarius Hotel ($41 a night) however booking.com its now $226.00 per night. It appears all of the lodging is 4,5X more than your blog mentions. Is there a reason why very unusual given your blog is this year. I understand maybe double but not the huge discrepancy I am looking at.

Thank you for any insight

Hi Jacqui — I have absolutely no idea how you’re managing to get those prices! I just had a look now and Aquarius Hotel is priced between $50 and $75 for the entirety of 2023. Which dates are you looking for?

Your prices for food and transportation are seriously inaccurate in 2024. Food is $5 plus per dish even for breakfast in Siem Reap. Attractions are $12 USD plus. Since you recommend tours that have very high prices, this should be obvious. Plus those tour don’t include entrance tickets if applicable. Transportation is $20 USD if you want to go further than 20 minutes or so. I am finding this place to be way more expensive than Thailand. Accomodations are still pretty cheap though. Your information needs adjustment.

Hi Ila, I’m genuinely confused, as I just went through every item mentioned in this guide and all of the prices are still accurate.

Transportation is $20 if you want to go more than 20 minutes?

Here’s a six hour bus ride from Sihanoukville to Phnom Penh for next week for $10: https://12go.asia/en/travel/sihanoukville/phnom-penh?date=2024-03-04&people=2&direction=forward Here’s an eight hour bus ride from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap for next week for $8: https://12go.asia/en/travel/phnom-penh/siem-reap?date=2024-03-04&people=2&direction=forward

Attractions are not $12 plus. Entrance to the Killing Fields with audio guide is $6, entrance to S-21 is $5, entrance to the Royal Palace is $10 — these are all prices I quoted in my guide and they’re still accurate today.

And food? Well, that’s not the case, either. Here’s a great place in Siem Reap where you’ll pay $1-$2 for a meal: https://maps.app.goo.gl/TxTXXuNCZBmbuhnq6 Go to the street markets and food stalls and try the local food! If you go to cafes and eat Western food, you’ll obviously pay more (which is, again, mentioned in my article, as I talk about paying $8 for avocado toast from a hipster cafe).

I’m really baffled by your comment, Ila. I have checked every single price that I include in this article and can’t find anything that’s incorrect!

Is Cambodia Expensive To Travel To?

Cambodia ranks as  one of the most affordable  destinations in Asia. It has a relatively low cost of living that drives accommodation, food, and transportation costs down. Bargaining is also a common practice, lending to cheaper prices.

Along with Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand, Cambodia is often considered an  inexpensive destination  in Southeast Asia.

Among the two major cities, Siem Reap is more expensive than Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. Siem Reap’s primary industry is tourism due to Angkor Wat, the largest temple complex in the world, which increases the cost of living.

💰 Trip Daily Budget for Destinations in Asia

For comparison, I visited these countries in Asia within a year of visiting Cambodia, and here’s how much I spent per day at each one:

*My Cambodia daily budget is high because I splurged on accommodation.

How Much Is a Trip to Cambodia?

This section covers estimated trip costs depending on your travel style. I share my actual travel expenses further below.

🎒 Budget Travelers – Cambodia Trip Cost

A budget traveler can expect to spend approximately $40 per day or $280 for one week of travel in Cambodia, excluding flights.

Here’s what a budget traveler’s cost breakdown can look like:

Traveling Cambodia on a Budget

To travel to Cambodia on a budget, here are some things you’ll need to do:

• 🏠 Accommodation – For the cheapest option, stay at a  dorm-style hostel for as low as $7 a night in cities like Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. Booking private rooms in a hostel will increase the price to roughly $12 a night. A budget hotel room is not much more expensive than a hostel at around $15 a night.
• 🚗 Transportation – Walk and bike as much as possible to get around. Both Siem Reap and Phnom Penh are small cities with walkable areas, especially around the city center. You can also negotiate tuk-tuk rides, but they are usually already very cheap.
• 🐟 Food – Eat at inexpensive, local restaurants serving Cambodian food (aka Khmer cuisine) for $3 to $5 a meal. Tourist-focused restaurants will have an upcharge.
• ⭐️ Entertainment – The famous Angkor Wat has a $37 entrance fee, but that cost jumps to over $50 with a guided tour. While Angkor Wat’s history is worth a guide, you can visit it on your own if you’re on a tight budget.
• ☀️ Travel Season – The best time to travel to Cambodia for the best deals on accommodations is during the low season (aka the wet season), which runs from May to October.

💰 Mid-Range Budget Travelers – Cambodia Trip Cost

A mid-range budget traveler can expect to spend approximately $90 per day or $630 for one week of travel in Cambodia, excluding flights.

I consider myself a mid-range budget traveler, but you’ll see below that my daily budget in Cambodia is higher because I splurged on accommodation (which I rarely do).

About My Cambodia Trip

To give context to the expenses below, here’s what you need to know about my trip:

• 📍  Siem Reap – The top two destinations in Cambodia are Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. I visited Siem Reap , which is typically more expensive than the capital city.
• 🗓️  Three days – Most people visit Siem Reap to see Angkor Wat, so I didn’t spend more than three days there like many others.
• ☀️ Low season – I went to Cambodia in November, which is considered the low season.

Cambodia’s high season runs from December to January, coinciding with the dry season.

• ✌️  Group travel – I traveled with one other person, so we were able to split some costs, such as housing.
• 💰 Mid-range budget – I consider myself a mid-range budget traveler, and these expenses reflect that. I don’t aim to travel on a budget, but I’m thoughtful about how and where I spend.
• 🍀 Self-funded – My trips are self-funded, so I paid for everything listed below. None of my excursions or experiences are sponsored.
• 💵 US dollars – All costs listed in this post are per person and in US dollars, converted from Cambodia’s local currency, Cambodian Riel.

The exchange rate was $1 USD = 4,105 KHR at the time of writing.

Total Cost for a Cambodia Trip: $602

My three-day trip to Cambodia cost a total of $602 , including flights.

See the highlights of my trip in this  Siem Reap itinerary .

💰 Cost Breakdown for Cambodia

Here’s a quick overview of my expenses by travel category:

🗓️ Daily Budget in Cambodia: $123

My Cambodia trip cost $123 per day , excluding my flights from Thailand and to Malaysia.

A mid-range budget traveler can expect to spend $90 per day in Cambodia. This generally means staying at accommodations that cost $30 per night, eating at $ to $$ restaurants, paying for tuk-tuk rides, and going on popular tours.

✈️ Flight Cost to Cambodia: $235

I usually take round-trip flights from the United States, but I flew into Cambodia from Thailand and out to Malaysia for this trip. Here are my flight costs:

A round-trip flight between the US and Cambodia that costs under $800 is considered cheap; international flights typically cost over $900.

🛂 Tourist Visa Cost in Cambodia: $30

You need a tourist visa to visit Cambodia from the United States.

• A 30-day visiting visa for Cambodia costs $30.
• An eVisa to Cambodia that you can apply for in advance costs $36 .

You can get a Cambodia tourist visa upon arrival at the airport, and it’s cash-only. When I visited, they had one ATM with a long line, so it’s best to have cash on hand.

🏠 Accommodation Cost in Cambodia: $163

My average cost of accommodation in Cambodia was $54 per night. I was able to split accommodations with one other person at all times.

I usually book basic accommodations, but I booked a villa while staying in Siem Reap to celebrate my anniversary. My villa included:

• A private swimming pool in a private backyard
• Full kitchen
• Modern bathroom with a rain shower head
• A private washing machine and dryer

Accommodations in Siem Reap are incredibly cheap. A mid-range accommodation in Siem Reap starts at $30 a night . Luxury hotels range from $200 to $1,000 per night .

🍜 Food Cost in Cambodia : $49

My average cost of food in Cambodia was $16 per day.

A mid-range budget traveler can expect to spend about $15 per day on food in Cambodia.

Cheapest Meals in Cambodia

Here are the most affordable meals I ate during my trip:

Local food in Cambodia is very affordable. You can expect to spend anywhere from  $3 to $10 per meal , and you likely won’t spend more than $15 per meal unless you’re eating at high-end restaurants. A local beer is usually  less than $1 .

Most Expensive Meals in Cambodia

Here are the most expensive meals I ate during my trip:

Khmer cuisine is flavorful and delicious. If you’re not familiar with it, you can sample different dishes at an affordable street food tour .

🚙 Transportation Cost in Cambodia: $8

My average cost of transportation in Cambodia was $3 per day.

• The average price of a tuk-tuk ride was $2.60 per ride.
• The cost of a tuk-tuk from the airport to my accommodation five miles away was $6.

Siem Reap and Phnom Penh are small cities, so a very convenient and affordable way to get around is by tuk-tuk, which you can call through the Grab app ( iOS , Android ).

Cambodia doesn’t have extensive public transportation, but one of the best ways to travel between major destinations is by bus. You can take a bus from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap for less than $15 .

⭐️ Entertainment Cost in Cambodia: $119

My average cost of entertainment in Cambodia was $40 per day. This total includes a 5% to 15% tip at certain places.

A typical mid-range traveler in Cambodia can expect to spend about  $35 a day on entertainment.

Costs of Activities and Attractions in Cambodia

Here are all the activities and attractions I paid for and how much each cost:

One of the most unique and underrated things to do in Siem Reap is biking through the countryside .

Entrance Fees for Cambodia’s Top Tourist Attractions

Tourism is one of Cambodia’s biggest industries , so you’ll find that many of the country’s top attractions, ancient temples, and national parks have entrance fees.

Below are the entrance fees for some of the most popular attractions in Cambodia:

• Angkor Wat – A UNESCO World Heritage Site and Cambodia’s most famous temple, Angkor Wat, has an entrance fee of $37. The fee gives you a one-day pass to Angkor Archaeological Park, which includes famous temples like Bayon Temple and Ta Prohm.
• The Killing Fields – One notable site that I wasn’t able to visit in Cambodia but recommend due to its educational significance is the Choeung Ek Genocidal Center in Phnom Penh, which has a $6 entrance fee.
• National Parks – Cambodia has several national parks, and the most famous one, Phnom Kulen National Park, has an entrance fee of $20.

Check out great things to do in Siem Reap .

Do You Need Cash in Cambodia?

Cambodia’s economy is  largely based on   cash transactions , especially in non-tourist areas, so bring some cash. I needed to use cash almost everywhere when I visited.

Below are tips on bringing and using cash in Cambodia.

💵 1. The US dollar is widely accepted in Cambodia.

USD and the Cambodian Riel are widely used in Cambodia, so you can withdraw cash in either currency. However, if you use USD, expect to receive change in riel and remember that you may not get a favorable exchange rate.

ATMs are widely available in the tourist areas of Cambodia, but they generally have large bills for USD (e.g., $50 or $100 bills), so I recommend withdrawing in riel instead if you want to avoid carrying large bills.

🏧 2. Bring about $20 worth of cash per day to Cambodia.

On a typical day, a mid-range budget traveler in Cambodia will need  at least $20 in cash  to cover food, transportation, and attractions. A daily cash expense breakdown can look like this:

• $10 at a local restaurant
• $5 to $10 to tip drivers, tour guides, or other service providers
• $2 at a juice stand or bar for a drink

I keep my cash in my crossbody bag , but if you want extra protection against pickpocketing , carry it in a hidden money belt instead.

💳 3. Very few places in Cambodia take credit cards.

Being able to use a credit card in Cambodia is the exception, but below are some places that  accepted credit cards  during my trip:

• Grab app rides
• Larger established hotels
• Touristy restaurants

💵 4. Tipping is not customary in Cambodia.

Tipping is  very appreciated  in Cambodia, but it’s optional. Since it is one of the poorest countries in the region, service workers always appreciate tips.

Food, accommodations, and services are so cheap that a 10% to 15% tip would not significantly impact your wallet but would make a difference to a local.

💰 5. You need cash to get a Cambodia visa (unless you pay online).

Visitors from the United States need a Cambodia tourist visa. The visa is cash-only if you get it at the airport after you land.

Lists by Lukiih is a humble website that I fund with my own savings. If you find my tips helpful, I appreciate you saying thanks with a bubble tea !

Thanks for the information. I am heading to Siem Reap next month. I’ve booked the majority of trips and accommodation on line but didn’t have a clue about spending money. Great article

Thanks, Stuart! Enjoy Siem Reap.

You can save money with a multiday pass to Angkor Wat. For example a day pass is $37, but a three day pass is $62 (as of January 2024). Great article/page, by the way.

Thanks, Ruben! Great callout.

Hi, Lukiih,

Thanks for the fantastic summary review of Siem Reap. Can you recommend any tour guides for the Angkor Wat temples, that will take you round to the various sites within the complex? I am aware there is a small (short circuit route) and a large circuit route around the complex. Do you have to follow one of the circuits with the driver, or can you suggest with them what temples you want to see? Going to Cambodia for the first time in March 2024 (Phnom Penh & Siem Reap)

Hi Paul, glad you found my post helpful.

I did the Angkor Wat small circuit route with this operator . My guide, Mr. Bun, was fantastic. The short circuit typically covers the must-do temples, so you don’t get to pick the temples.

If you want more input on temple selection, you typically need to pay more for a true private tour like this one .

I don’t have recommendations on the larger circuit since I didn’t do one!

Enjoy your trip in March!

Hi Your information are very helpful for my planning in March 2024 Thank you 😊

Hi Wendy, glad you found it helpful. Enjoy your trip in March!

Cambodia Travel Guide

Last Updated: April 29, 2024

Backpacking Cambodia was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.

When I first visited Cambodia in 2006, I had low expectations for the country as I hadn’t heard much about it as a travel destination. I knew a little about its violent and tumultuous past but that was it.

But, as I traveled around Cambodia, I was blown away by the friendliness of the people, the beauty of the country, and all the great things there are to see and do. The country fast became one of my all-time favorite travel destinations; I think it’s one of the most underrated countries in the world. I can’t recommend it enough!

Since that first visit, I’ve been back dozens of times — I even spent over a month there writing a book. After all these visits and my subsequent travels elsewhere, the country remains a favorite.

Cambodia is still trying to find its footing after the horrifying genocide carried out by Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge regime between 1975 and 1979, which saw upwards of 3 million Cambodians killed. This conflict left a deep, deep wound on the country that very much exists to this day.

Despite this, Cambodia is filled with some of the friendliest people I’ve ever encountered, a rich history, delicious food, beautiful coastlines, and a lively nightlife.

This guide to Cambodia travel guide can help you plan your trip, save money, and ensure you make the most of your visit to one of the best countries in the region.

Top 5 things to see and do in cambodia.

1. Explore Angkor Wat

The Angkor Wat temple ruins are massive and you’ll need a few days to satisfy your inner Tomb Raider. If you’re not a history buff, just purchase a single-day ticket ($37 USD). Everyone else may want to consider the 3-day ticket ($72 USD) as there is a ton to see here! You can also take a guided tour if you want to really learn about this epic site!

2. Hang out in Sihanoukville

White sand beaches, nearby deserted islands, great diving, seafood, and a lively nightlife filled with cheap booze make Sihanoukville a favorite among backpackers. It’s not a quiet place to hang out, but it’s a good place to drink or use as a base to visit the nearby islands, which are quiet and serene.

3. See Phnom Penh

As the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh has a wild west ambiance. But it’s an up-and-coming foodie hub with lots to see and do so you can easily spend a few days here playing tourist. Don’t miss the sobering but important Killing Fields outside the city.

4. Visit Tonle Sap

Sailing down this river and around the lake highlights just how closely Cambodian life is tied to this major waterway. You can take a boat all the way downriver or just cruise around on a day trip. Tours start around $20 USD per person.

5. Discover Battambang

Other things to see and do in cambodia, 1. see the killing fields.

You can’t mention Cambodia without people drawing a connection to the country’s bloody genocide. Although a visit to Choeung Ek, also known as the Killing Fields, may not be the most cheerful way to spend an afternoon, it makes for a hallowing and memorable experience, a testament to the dangers of uncontested power. You can’t understand modern Cambodia without learning about Pol Pot and the violence of the Khmer Rouge, which was responsible for killing millions of people during their reign of terror. Admission is $6 USD, though you’ll need to arrange a ride to the area, as the site is located 10 miles from Phnom Penh. Expect to pay at least $15 USD for a return trip via tuk-tuk .

2. Visit Kep

This quaint beach town, located three hours east of Sihanoukville, is the quiet version of Sihanoukville. It’s a nice place to relax near the ocean without the party atmosphere. This town is famous for its pepper crab and empty beaches. It’s quite sleepy and there’s not a lot to do here, making it a good place to come for some downtime. Nearby Kep National Park, which spans almost 70 square kilometers (26 square miles), is a great place for mountain hikes with incredible views over the water and surrounding jungle.

3. Hike in Bokor National Park

Visit this national park as a full day trip from Sihanoukville or nearby Kampot. Here you can wander among the atmospheric French ruins while hiking around the rainforest. Bokor was a big destination for the French aristocracy in the early 20th century and Bokor Hill Station has the remains of an abandoned luxury resort and casino that was later used as a hideout by the Khmer Rouge. Admission to the park is free. Group day tours from Sihanoukville start from about $20 USD, while a private guide for the day is $40 USD.

4. Enjoy the views at Prasat Preah Vihear

This breathtaking mountain temple was built in the 11th century and is a UNESCO World Heritage site due to its exceptional carved stonework and overall preservation. Today, it’s the source of conflict with neighboring Thailand, which also claims ownership of the temple. As it is quite remote, the trip here is not easy so not a lot of foreigners visit. Expect a $10 USD entrance fee and a long and steep hike (you can hire a 4×4 for $25 USD or a motorbike taxi for $5 USD to take you to the top if you don’t want the trek).

5. Visit a river village

There are three major floating villages in Cambodia. At these villages, the houses are built on bamboo stilts, and there are always boats filled with people selling trinkets, food, and hanging out. The Chong Khneas is the most visited in the country, but its popularity has made it a bit of a tourist trap. It’s interesting to visit but you won’t have a whole lot of interaction with the locals. Most tours cost at least $15 USD per person. The other floating villages are Kampong Khleang and Kampong Phluk, which you can access from nearby Siem Reap.

6. Visit the pepper farms of Kampot

Outside the city of Kampot and on the way to Kep are vast pepper fields. This southern region of Cambodia is filled with pepper farms where you can learn about the history of the spice, see how it is grown, and pick up what is considered some of the finest pepper in the world. Tours are usually free, though you need to arrange transportation. Half-day tours are around $25 USD. Don’t miss the nearby mangroves and national park too.

7. Trek Koh Kong

An island near the Thai border in the Cardamom Mountain district, the Koh Kong region offers excellent jungle trekking opportunities, as well as a chance to relax on the white-sand beaches. Koh Kong is the biggest island in the country and is considered one of the best beach spots in Southeast Asia. It’s illegal to spend the night there, but there are plenty of operators offering day trips to the island. Keep an eye out for monkeys, boars, and all kinds of indigenous birds while visiting.

8. Tour Kampong Cham

Though it’s the third-largest city in Cambodia, most travelers overlook Kampong Cham. The city has retained a lot of its old French colonial feel and is a great place to really get to know Cambodia. While the city in itself is something to explore, don’t miss the ruins at Nokor Wat, a 10th-century temple built by Jayavarman VII. One of the temple’s highlights is a detailed series of murals that depict religious torture scenes.

9. Relax, Unpack, and Meditate in Kep

Take a break from traveling and sign-up to stay at Vagabond Temple for a while. Prices begin at $275 USD for a 5-day retreat, which includes accommodation, meals, and full days of yoga and meditation classes from incredible teachers. If you’d like to commit to staying for longer, you can pay around $43 USD per day for a two-month retreat. This is a great place to take a break and gather your thoughts, especially if you’re on a long trip. No previous yoga or meditation training is required either.

10. Visit the Landmine Museum

Landmines have devastated Cambodia, maiming and killing thousands over the decades. The remaining mines from the Vietnam War (which spilled over to Cambodia) are still discovered every year. Located in Siem Reap, the Landmine Museum is an eye-opening museum that will broaden your perspective on the war and the horrific impact of landmines. Admission for foreign visitors, including a guided tour in English, is $5 USD per person. I can’t recommend this museum enough.

11. Shop at the markets

Exploring the street, indoor, and night markets is a quintessential part of traveling through Southeast Asia , and Cambodia is no different. Every major city has sprawling markets offering all manner of stalls, from prepared street food and produce to clothing and household items that make great souvenirs. Haggling is commonplace, so don’t be afraid to do so.

12. Learn to cook Cambodian dishes

Learning how to cook Cambodian food is one of the best souvenirs you can bring home. Dive into Cambodian cooking with a class where you’ll learn to cook 3-4 different dishes — and eat them at the end! You’ll usually get to go to a market to shop for produce too and you’ll also get a recipe card so you can recreate the recipes at home. Class sizes tend to be around 6 people, take around 3 hours, and cost around $20 USD per person.

13. Take a food tour

Traditional Khmer food is often overlooked compared to other Asian foods, so a food tour is the best way to sample this culture’s amazing noodle dishes, fresh seafood, sweets, and street food while learning about the history and culture behind the cuisine. Siem Reap Food Tours offers several tours, including morning tours into the market and evening tours perusing food stalls. Tours start from $75 USD and include all food, drinks, and transportation.

14. Hike in Phnom Kulen National Park

Located just 1.5 hours from Siem Reap, this national park is the perfect place to spend a day hiking in the rainforest, with majestic waterfalls, epic viewpoints, and hidden temples in the jungle. Don’t miss Kbal Spean, an archaeological site in a riverbed with intricate rock carvings representing Hindu gods. The entire park area holds tremendous national significance as it was on this mountain range that King Jayavarman II founded the Khmer Empire in 802 CE. The park entrance fee is $20 USD.

Cambodia Travel Costs

Note: Cambodia uses USD. There’s no real need to carry the local currency, Cambodian Riels (KHR), unless you’re paying for really small things on the street. In a growing number of places, especially in the countryside, you might start getting riels back when paying in USD but you can essentially get by using mostly USD here.

Accommodation – Dorm rooms in hostels with 6-8 beds start at around $6-8 USD per night. Private double rooms generally go for $10-20 USD per night, depending on where you are in the country. Free Wi-Fi is standard and many hostels also have outdoor swimming pools and air-conditioning. Free breakfast and kitchen facilities are rare.

A double room with an ensuite bathroom in a comfortable guesthouse or hotel costs $15-20 USD. Most places have air conditioning, TV, and Wi-Fi. Nicer hotels in the $25-35 range have swimming pools and restaurants on-site.

Airbnb is available in the major cities, with prices starting around $25-35 USD per night for an entire home or apartment.

Food – Cambodian food is similar to Thai and Vietnamese cuisine. Vietnam and Cambodia especially have many dishes in common due to the countries’ shared history of French colonization. For example, the baguette sandwich known as bánh mì in Vietnam is called num pang pâté in Cambodia. Popular Cambodian dishes include num banhchok , a lightly fermented rice noodle dish served for breakfast; amok trei , a fish curry dish; and samlar kako , a hearty soup filled with vegetables, roasted ground rice, and catfish or pork. In general, Cambodian cuisine includes a huge variety of noodle soups, stir-fries, curries, fried rice, and sweets.

Rice and freshwater fish are present in nearly every Cambodian meal. Lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, tamarind, ginger, chili pepper, and kaffir lime are all commonly used spices. Fermented fish paste is another widely used ingredient that adds saltiness and flavor.

Common vegetables include leaf and root vegetables as well as melon, long beans, snow peas, bean sprouts, and eggplant. Dozens of types of fruit are native to Cambodia, with durian being the most infamous. However, there are plenty of less pungent fruits to try, including mangosteen, passionfruit, dragonfruit, and mangoes. Fruit is a popular dessert and snack, either eaten alone or made into a variety of sweets.

Overall, food is very cheap in Cambodia. A meal from local street vendors costs about $1-3 USD per meal, while street snacks are even less. Basic restaurant meals cost between $3-5 USD for a typical dish like curry or fish and rice.

Western meals generally cost $5-10 USD. Pizza costs $4-6 USD, a burger costs $7-8 USD, and a pasta dish costs $6-8 USD.

For drinks, a beer costs less than $1 USD, a glass of wine is $3 USD, and a cocktail is $3-5 USD. A cappuccino is $1.75 USD.

If you want to splurge, you can get world-class food in Phnom Penh for around $8-10 USD.

If you plan on buying your own groceries and cooking your own meals expect to pay between $15-20 USD per week for basic groceries like rice, produce, and some meat or fish. Stick to local markets for the cheapest produce. However, given that hostels and hotels don’t have kitchens and the street food is so cheap, I wouldn’t advise cooking your meals while here.

Backpacking Cambodia Suggested Budgets

If you’re backpacking Cambodia, expect to spend around $45 USD per day. On this budget, you can stay in a dorm room, eat food from the street stalls, have a couple of beers here and there, and take public transportation to get around. If you’re visiting Angkor Wat (you likely are), you’ll need an additional $37 USD plus the cost of a bike or driver.

On a mid-range budget of $90 USD, you can stay in a budget hotel with air conditioning, have some sit-down meals at nicer restaurants, drink more, take buses between cities, visit Angkor Wat, and do more tours and activities like seeing the Killing Fields and taking a cooking class.

On a “luxury” budget of $160 USD or more a day, the sky is the limit! You can stay at hotels, eat out anywhere you want, drink as much as you want, hire a driver, and do whatever tours and activities you want (including a multi-day visit to Angkor Wat).

You can use the chart below to get some idea of how much you need to budget daily, depending on your travel style. Keep in mind these are daily averages – some days you’ll spend more, some days you’ll spend less (you might spend less every day). We just want to give you a general idea of how to make your budget. Prices are in USD.

Cambodia Travel Guide: Money-Saving Tips

Cambodia is one of the cheapest countries in Southeast Asia . There really aren’t any big money-saving tips here unless you go out of your way to find the most expensive things to see or do. But if you really want to pinch some pennies, here are a few tips on how to save extra money in Cambodia:

• Minimize your drinks – Every drink is a dollar and before you know it, you’ve spent more money on beer than on food and accommodation. Limit your drinking to save your budget.
• Work for your room – You can usually negotiate a discount at a hostel if you stay for a week or longer and offer to volunteer. Usually, this means just a few hours per day helping out in exchange for free accommodation.
• Book tours and day trips as a group – You have more negotiation power when you’re with a group of people buying multiple tickets. Traveling alone? Meet a friend at a hostel and see if they want to join the same tour as you. You can likely get a better price this way.
• Don’t book in advance – Don’t book any tours or activities before you get to your destination. They’ll be much cheaper when you arrive as you can to negotiate a lower price. Anything you see online is going to be more expensive than you need to pay!
• Eat on the street – You can pick up tasty local fare for cheap in Cambodia. Eat cheap at the stalls and avoid Western food.
• Pack a water bottle – A water bottle with a purifier comes particularly in handy in Cambodia since you can’t drink the tap water. Save money and thousands of plastic bottles by getting a bottle that can purify the tap water. My preferred bottle is LifeStraw since it has a filter that ensures your water is always safe and clean.

Where to Stay in Cambodia

Accommodations in Cambodia are incredibly cheap. Here’s a list of budget-friendly places to stay in Cambodia:

• The Siem Reap Pub Hostel (Siem Reap)
• Lub D Cambodia Siem Reap (Siem Reap)
• Onederz Hostel (Siem Reap)
• Onederz Sihanoukville (Sihanoukville)
• Next Beach Club (Koh Rong)
• Mad Monkey Koh Rong Samloem (Koh Rong Samloem)
• Mad Monkey (Phnom Penh)
• Onederz (Phnom Penh)
• Sla Boutique Hostel (Phnom Penh)
• The Magic Sponge (Kampot)

How to Get Around Cambodia

Public transportation – Local city transportation is cheap in Cambodia. Phnom Penh is the only city with any public transportation network to speak of, with a small bus network of 17 routes. Tickets cost just $0.40 USD per ride, paid in cash each time you board the bus.

Taxi – Taxis are normally double to triple the local transportation cost, and you often must haggle for the price. They start high, and you work towards something you are willing to pay. Shared taxis for long-distance travel are a good idea if you have a group of 3-4 people. When in doubt, ask your hotel/hostel staff for a price estimate so you know you’re not getting ripped off.

Renting a driver for the day costs $15-20 USD, and most hostels can help you arrange finding one.

Tuk-tuks can be found on every corner in the big cities, though be sure to negotiate a price in advance (usually not more than $5 USD depending on the distance).

Bus and minibus – The easiest and cheapest way to travel around Cambodia is by bus, a network that has improved quite a bit in recent years. The backpacker trail is so worn that there is a very well-established tourist bus system to take you anywhere. Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, and Sihanoukville are the main hubs.

Generally, you can get a bus anywhere in the country for under $20 USD. Buses depart regularly from Siem Reap to Bangkok for $20 USD each way, a journey that takes around 9 hours. Both buses and mini-buses also make the 6-hour journey from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh daily for $10 USD per person. The 5-hour ride from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville starts from $9 USD, while Siem Reap to Sihanoukville takes 10 hours and costs $17 USD.

To find bus routes and prices, use BusBud .

Train – Trains are not common in Cambodia. There is one route that runs between Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville, and one that runs from Phnom Penh to Poipet. Tickets cost $5-7 USD though departures are not very common so you’ll need to plan ahead. While improvements are being made, due to the lack of upkeep of the rail infrastructure, trains are in bad shape. I’d stick to the buses.

Boat – You can take a boat between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap and between Siem Reap and Battambang. This isn’t the most efficient or cost-effective way to travel, but it can be a scenic and fun journey. The 6-hour ferry ride from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh costs $18-25 USD, and it’s $25 USD between Siem Reap and Battambang.

Flying – There are only a few domestic routes in Cambodia, between the major destinations of Phnom Penh, Sihanoukville, and Siem Reap. The main airline carrier is Cambodia Angkor Air. Flights are generally quite expensive and have infrequent schedules. The one-hour flight from Sihanoukville to Siem Reap costs $140 USD, while the 45-minute flight from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh is $90 USD. These prices can increase significantly when booking last-minute.

Car rental – Car rentals are expensive here and the roads are far from excellent. Since accidents are common, I suggest skipping the car rental here.

When to Go to Cambodia

The high season in Cambodia is from November to April when temperatures are milder. This more or less coincides with the dry season, which is from November-May. November-February are the busiest months, with temperatures rarely dipping below 20°C (68°F). Temperatures can go as high as 38°C (100°F), especially in April and May, so if you visit during these months be prepared for the heat and dress accordingly.

If you’d rather avoid peak tourist season, visit from May to the beginning of October. Although this overlaps with the rainy season, generally that just means getting hit with brief heavy rainfall in the afternoons. You can still see and do a lot during this time, just bring a rain jacket.

How to Stay Safe in Cambodia

Cambodia is a safe place to backpack and travel — even if you’re traveling solo, and even as a solo female traveler. Violent attacks against tourists are rare here, though petty theft can occur so always guard your possessions.

Unfortunately, theft is frequent on the beaches and in crowded streets. Always keep an eye on your belongings when out and about and never flash your valuables. Keep your wallet and phone secure and out of reach and don’t leave anything unattended on the beach either.

There are some common scams around that you’ll want to be aware of, such as the motorbike scam. This is where vendors try to charge you for damage to your bike rental. To avoid this, take pictures and video of your bike when you rent so that you can’t be charged for existing damage.

There is also a common tuk-tuk scam where the driver takes you miles from your destination and then pressures you to stay and spend money at the shop or restaurant where he dropped you off (the driver works under commission for a particular restaurant, hotel, or shop). If this happens, firmly decline and demand to go back or find another tuk-tuk driver.

Another common scam involves shady or fake police officers who demand to see your passport. Chances are, you’ll be asked to pay a “fine” to get it back. Simply deny the request and tell them the passport is back at your hotel in a safety deposit box.

For more information on travel scams, read about common travel scams to avoid here .

The people who usually get in trouble in Cambodia tend to be involved with drugs or sex tourism. Stay away from that stuff and you’ll likely be fine.

Avoid dehydration in the heat by making sure you bring lots of water to keep hydrated. Remember that tap water isn’t safe to drink, so bring a water bottle with a built-in filter.

If you experience an emergency, dial 119 for assistance.

Always trust your gut instinct. Make copies of your personal documents, including your passport and ID. Forward your itinerary along to loved ones so they’ll know where you are.

The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past.

Cambodia Travel Guide: The Best Booking Resources

These are my favorite companies to use when I travel. They consistently have the best deals, offer world-class customer service and great value, and overall, are better than their competitors. They are the companies I use the most and are always the starting point in my search for travel deals.

• Agoda – Other than Hostelworld, Agoda is the best hotel accommodation site for Asia.
• Booking.com – The best all around booking site that constantly provides the cheapest and lowest rates. They have the widest selection of budget accommodation. In all my tests, they’ve always had the cheapest rates out of all the booking websites.

Should you do an organized tour or travel independently in Cambodia?

Organized tours and independent travel are essentially the two main ways to plan a trip to Cambodia. Organized tours offer a convenient and hassle-free experience, with travel experts handling all the logistical details and the added benefit of an expert guide imparting valuable insights. This option is favored by those who appreciate the convenience and ease provided by tours that often include transportation and expert guides.

On the other hand, independent travel provides a different set of advantages, allowing for greater freedom and flexibility in customizing itineraries and exploring at one's own pace. This option appeals to individuals who value spontaneity and control, enabling them to immerse themselves in local culture on a deeper level.

Ultimately, the choice between organized tours and independent travel depends on personal preferences and travel style, considering factors such as convenience, guidance, and flexibility.

3 weeks in Cambodia Itinerary

DISCLAIMER: This post might have links to travel services and products that we enjoy. We might make a commission from it at no extra cost to you.

Cambodia is a relatively small country, but it has so much to offer. It’s right on the heart of Banana Pancake Trail, which is popular among backpackers, making it an incredibly popular and affordable destination.

I have been to Cambodia at least four times, and each visit has been a different experience . It’s honestly one of the countries in the world that must be visited at least twice to fully appreciate its beauty and what it can offer.

Cambodia is the country in Southeast Asia where you will find the stunning Angkor Wat . In the 70s, there was a genocide in Cambodia, resulting in almost 2 million Cambodian deaths.

Today, the country honours the people who have died by opening a museum that tells so many stories and showcases that all is not forgotten.

With 3 weeks in Cambodia, you can definitely travel a lot slower, see the top attractions, visit lesser-travelled areas, and get to know a bit of Cambodian history, culture, and cuisine.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE GOING TO CAMBODIA

Don’t book anything yet, first, you should know a few things such as when to go, what to budget, the dress code, and other basic but vital information. These details will be covered in this section.

When is the best time to go to Cambodia

The best time to visit Cambodia is between November and February when the weather is cool and dry. This period is also the peak tourist season due to pleasant temperatures.

The rainy season occurs from May to October , and there are expected to be heavy showers and high humidity. Whether you’re coming for the Cambodian coastline or the temples, it’s best to avoid the typhoon season as it can really put a damper on your trip.

The shoulder seasons are March to April and late October to early November , offering a balance with fewer tourists and moderate weather, though March to April can be quite hot. These shoulder months are ideal for exploring Cambodia’s rich cultural heritage and natural beauty with more comfort and fewer crowds.

Are 3 weeks enough for Cambodia

Yes, 20 days in Cambodia is plenty of time. While it’s a big country, travelling overland can be time-consuming, especially if you plan to travel to less-travelled areas. So before putting your 3 weeks in Cambodia itinerary, you need to spend some time checking if the cities you chose are accessible from one another.

Plan to see 4-5 cities and not more to avoid wasting your time in buses, airports, and vehicles. If you feel like 3 weeks is too much time in Cambodia, you can do 3 weeks in Cambodia and Vietnam instead.

What to pack

This is Southeast Asia, so it’s vital that you pack bug spray regardless of the month you plan to visit. You must also bring clothing that will cover your shoulders and legs for when you visit temples, pagodas, and other sacred places.

One last thing: overall, it’s very hot and humid in Cambodia, so make sure to pack breathable and lightweight clothing. Check our what to pack for 3 weeks list , we also have a summer packing list .

How to get around

In Cambodia, the most common way to get around is by tuk-tuk , offering an affordable and authentic experience.

Buses are the most economica l for longer distances, with extensive routes covering the country. Minivans are a popular choice when travelling between cities that are not more than a 5-hour drive, such as Siem Reap and Phnom Penh.

For the fastest option, domestic flights connect major cities. However , if the flight is not more than 6 hours, it might be better to take the bus, or minivan, or book a private transfer instead.

Ride-hailing apps like Grab, WeGo and PassApp are available, providing convenient and reasonably priced taxi and tuk-tuk services in urban areas. These apps are a reliable choice for short distances and navigating cities like Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, blending affordability with convenience.

Motorcycle rentals are popular for adventurous travellers but require caution. Since you have 20 days in Cambodia, it might be a great idea to rent a motorbike and travel on your own. This is only possible, though if you have small luggage such as a 40L backpack.

You can rent a motorbike for 3 weeks, then return it after. While other young travellers would buy a second-hand motorbike, that’s only common for those planning to motorbike in Indochina, meaning bringing the motorbikes to Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Language and currency

The official language of Cambodia is Khmer . While Khmer is predominant, English is widely spoken in tourist areas, major cities, and by younger generations, making it relatively easy for tourists to communicate. In rural areas, English proficiency may be limited, but locals are generally helpful.

Basic English is often sufficient in hotels, popular restaurants, and tourist attractions. Learning a few Khmer phrases can enhance the travel experience and is appreciated by locals. Install a translator app to help you get around as well.

The official currency of Cambodia is the Cambodian Riel (KHR), but the US Dollar is widely accepted and often preferred , especially in urban areas and tourist destinations. ATMS dispense Riel, but sometimes, you might find one that gives out USD.

USD is so common that you can even buy a bottle of water for a dollar. The price might be shown as $0.75, but it’s highly possible that you won’t get any change. So, only use a dollar when you’re paying an exact amount.

Cash is generally more accepted than credit cards , especially in rural areas and small establishments. However, major hotels, restaurants, and some shops do accept credit cards.

Average travel cost for Cambodia

Haggling is common in Cambodia, but don’t try to bargain too much; an extra dollar here and there could make a big impact on the locals. On average, a local makes between $150 to $300 a month, and that’s for those fully employed. Street sellers and tuk-tuk drivers make a lot less than that.

Unless you have a passport from the ASEAN country, then you need to apply for an evisa in advance . It allows you to stay for up to 30 days in a single entry. You can also get a visa on arrival, but expect longer queues at the immigration office.

I prefer getting an evisa as it saves time, you should apply at least a week before your trip . Depending on where you’re applying for your Evisa, you might pay the visa fee online or pay it upon entry. For evisa holders, you must enter through a specific entry point:

• Phnom Penh International Airport
• Siem Reap International Airport
• Sihanoukville International Airport
• Cham Yeam (Koh Kong Province) (from Thailand)
• Poipet (Banteay Meanchey Province) (from Thailand)
• Bavet (Svay Rieng Province) (from Vietnam)
• Trapeang Kriel (Stung Treng Province) (from Laos)

Other travel tips

Book your travel arrangements when you have the dates down and the cities you plan to visit. If you’re arriving during the peak season, you should make the booking at least 3 months in advance or even 6 months if possible.

Here are some travel sites I personally use when booking my accommodation, flights, insurance, and more:

This itinerary for Cambodia is perfect for first-time visitors, honeymoon couples, family vacations, retirees, and friends travelling together.

It’s filled with visits to historical places, exploring the local cuisine, doing water activities, and discovering the jungle (which you can skip if you wish).

This itinerary for 20 days in Cambodia, is designed as Siem Reap to Koh Kong, then to Sihanoukville, then to Koh Rong, and finally to Phnom Penh. On the other hand, you can easily do this the other way around or plan an itinerary that ends in Sihanoukville or Koh Rong to end your trip on a relaxing beach and/or islands.

I personally like finishing my trip where I’ll be boarding my flight out. If I finish my trip in a different city, then my travel day back home will be even longer than needed. If you feel like

Siem Reap for 5 days

Siem Reap is not the capital of Cambodia, but many people get confused too. It’s so popular because it’s the home of the magnificent Angkor Wat. Plus, a lot of flights land here as well. If you’re entering Thailand, you can even take a bus from Bangkok to Siem Reap.

This is a perfect place to start your trip, it’s easy to get around here and lots of accommodations are available. From here, you can also plan a day trip to Battambang and travel by land either to Phnom Penh or to the southern region for some sun and sea adventure.

Angkor Wat is a massive area to explor e, it’s over 400 square kilometres, and features temples from the 15th century. The exact number of temples in the entire area is not precisely defined due to the varying sizes and states of preservation, but it is generally agreed to be over a thousand.

It’s so big that you can buy up to 4-day passes and must travel around the compound either with a motorbike, tuk-tuk, or a minivan (by foot is not possible).

With five days here, you can catch up with sleep on the first night, get a local sim card with data, get local money, and plan the rest of your trip or you can explore Angkor Wat better.

Things to do in Siem Reap

• Angkor Wat – book a full-day sunrise tour or 2-day tour sunrise or 2-day sunrise and sunset tour
• Angkor Thum/Thom
• Ta Prohm Temple

There’s a 6-hour or minivan from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh . You can also book a private transfer or fly, which is more comfortable, but costs more.

Koh Kong in Cambodia is an awesome spot for adventure lovers. It’s a place where you can dive into nature and do really cool stuff . You can kayak through mangroves, trekking in Southeast Asian jungles, and swim through waterfalls that look like something out of a movie.

Plus, there are beautiful, quiet beaches where you can chill and listen to the waves . And if you’re into wildlife, there’s plenty to see, from exotic birds to other native animals. Koh Kong is a really nice place to take a break from the busy tourist trails of Cambodia.

From Phnom Penh, its a 5-6 hour drive to Koh Kong . You can choose between a bus or a minivan, but you can also arrange a private transfer for convenience and comfort.’

Things to do in Koh Kong

Accommodations in koh kong.

Sihanoukville for 2 days

Sihanoukville might not be the most beautiful beach town in Southeast Asia, but it has its moments. For one, it’s where you’ll find a $0.50 beer, while many bars and restaurants offer happy hour every night. Not to mention that many restaurants have a massive menu covering all the cuisine you could ever ask for.

However, if you’re feeling peckish and want some pizza, you should really be aware of “happy pizza”. Sounds great, but “happy pizza” actually means having weed or hallucinogenic mushrooms on your pizza toppings. There are also “happy shakes” and “happy smoothies”, so be aware.

Sihanoukville offers boat trips, day tours, and hiking trips to the Preah Monivong Bokor National Park. This is also the gateway to Cambodia’s island gem called Koh Rong.

To get to Sihanoukville from Koh Kong, you can take the bus which takes about 4 hours and 30 minutes. You can also book a private transfer, although that will only maximise your money if there are 2-3 people in your group as it can be costly.

Things to do in Sihanoukville

• Queenco Hotel and Casino – if you want to play some games
• Independence Beach

Accommodations in Sihanoukville

• Affordable to Mid-range: Manoha Villa or Om Home or Villa Blue Lagoon or Onederz Hostel
• Luxury: Queenco Hotel & Casino or Independence Hotel Resort & Spa or Star Bay Residences

Kong Rong and Koh Rong Samloem for 4 days

Koh Rong is easily one of the most remarkable spots in Southeast Asia. This is because it’s one of the few places where you can see bioluminescence (a.k.a, the glowing plankton in the ocean) . There are night boat tours specifically for this trip, or you can book an afternoon boat tour featuring snorkelling, fishing, and plankton trips.

Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloen are two different islands , but they are near one another. Koh Rong Samloen is more serene and has fewer accommodations. On the other hand, Koh Rong is lively and a hot spot for the party crowd.

Either way, if you choose to stay in one of the islands, you can easily book a boat tour to check out the other island.

Before you leave Sihanoukville, you must decide which island you’re going to since the ferry is most likely not to stop on boat islands. There are plenty of ferries that go every day, so you can leave the booking ticket the day before you plan to go.

You can get to Koh Rong from Sihanoukville through a boat. There are boats leaving throughout the day so you don’t need to book the tickets in advance. If you book a faster boat, it’s only a 45-minute sail, there’s a slower boat that is more affordable, but it’s almost 4 hours.

It’s a great place to end your 3 weeks in Cambodia itinerary you can just relax on the islands, and enjoy a classic beach vacation.

However, from here, you’ll need to travel back to Phnom Penh for an international flight. There might be international flights leaving Sihanoukville if you book in advance since they are limited and only available to limited Asian countries.

Things to do in Koh Rong

From Koh Rong to Phnom Penh, you have to take the boat to Sihanoukville first. From there, you can take a minivan, a bus, or a private transfer, which only takes 3 to 4 hours.

• Koh Rong and Koh Rong Sanloem – they are 2 different islands but right next to each other
• Bioluminescent Plankton snorkel tour (Koh Rong Samloem)

Accommodations in Koh Rong

Must-try cambodian dishes and drinks.

Cambodia might not be known for its cuisine, but this country has lots to offer. Here’s a list of tasty local dishes that you must check out during your visit.

Apart from that, many restaurants in Cambodia especially those in the touristy areas have a massive menu offering wide choices of cuisines.

• Amok – A traditional creamy curry often cooked with fish, coconut milk, and Khmer spices, typically steamed and served in banana leaves.
• Bai Sach Chrouk – Grilled pork marinated in garlic, soy, and coconut milk, served with rice and pickled vegetables.
• Lap Khmer – Lime-marinated Khmer beef salad flavoured with herbs, spices, and fish sauce, often served spicy.
• Nom Banh Chok – A popular breakfast dish, also known as Khmer noodles, served with a fish-based green curry gravy.
• Kuy Teav – A noodle soup made with pork or seafood broth and topped with various meats, bean sprouts, and herbs.
• Fish Amok – A signature Cambodian dish, similar to Amok, but specifically made with fish, giving it a distinct flavour.
• Prahok Ktis – A spicy pork dip made with fermented fish paste, coconut milk, and served with fresh vegetables.
• Bai Damnak – A Cambodian sticky rice cake, often coloured and flavoured with pandan leaves.
• Sankhya Lapov – A pumpkin custard, where the pumpkin itself is used as a bowl filled with a creamy coconut custard.
• Num Chak Kachan – Layered jelly made with coconut milk and cassava, visually appealing due to its vibrant layers.
• Teuk Ampil – A refreshing sugarcane juice, often sold by street vendors and served cold.
• Kuy Teav – A popular Cambodian coffee, typically strong and sweet, often served iced.
• Sraa Tram (or Palm Wine) – A traditional alcoholic beverage made from the sap of palm trees, mildly sweet and refreshing.

Cambodia On A Budget: Detailed Cambodia Travel Budget

By: Author Lotte

Posted on Last updated: February 9, 2023

Categories Cambodia

Cambodia is a fascinating country in Southeast Asia and a very affordable place to visit. This post shows you how to travel Cambodia on a budget.

This Cambodia travel budget is based on our one-week trip to Cambodia and includes detailed information on how much you can expect to spend on accommodation, transport, food, and activities.

You'll also find plenty of tips on how to save money in Cambodia without missing out on the many amazing sights that Cambodia has to offer. Let's get started!

How to travel Cambodia on a budget

Prices in Cambodia: infographic

In the infographic below you can find a detailed budget breakdown of our Cambodia trip to give you a quick overview of how much (or actually how little) you can spend during your trip in Cambodia.

Of course, the amount you'll spend depends on your style of travel, the length of your trip, and the type of accommodation you choose.

However, compared to countries such as Japan , New Zealand , Canada , and Europe , Cambodia is a very affordable destination.

Generally speaking, you can travel around Cambodia on a budget of $35-$70 per day (per person). As you can see in the infographic, we spent $73 per day as a couple.

I'll explain more about how much we spent on accommodation, food, transport, and activities further on in the post.

Cambodia travel budget: essential facts and figures

• I traveled to Cambodia with my husband, and all expenses mentioned are for the two of us together . We were backpacking around Southeast Asia and budget travellers, so we really tried to make the most of our money during our entire trip.
• We spent 8 days in Cambodia . We entered the country from Ha Tien ( Vietnam ) and crossed the Cambodian/Thai border at Poipet.
• I quote prices in US dollars as this is the currency used most in Cambodia. For payments smaller than $1 you’ll get the change in Cambodian Riel (the actual local currency), $1 is about 4000 riel .
• In total, we spent $585 in 8 days , which comes down to an average of $73 a day .
• All expenses in Cambodia are included , plus the transportation costs for the trip from Siem Reap to Bangkok.

How to save money when planning a trip to Cambodia

The good news is: traveling to Cambodia on a tight budget is definitely possible!

That being said, it's important to plan carefully, look for discounts, and be flexible with your itinerary to make the most of your travel budget for Cambodia.

Avoid peak season (travel during shoulder season instead)

Start by researching the best time of year to visit Cambodia as the cost of flights and hotels can vary throughout the year.

The peak season in Cambodia is from December to February . During these months accommodation prices are at their highest.

If you have the option to be flexible with your travel dates and able to travel in low season, this is a great way to save money on your Cambodia trip.

Save money on flights

You can look for discounts on flights to Cambodia on websites like Kiwi.com . Try different travel dates and see how this affects the price of your flight.

Generally, the cheapest days to fly are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Airlines often offer discounted fares on these days, so it's worth checking the booking sites and comparing prices on different days of the week.

You’ll get a better deal by booking your flight in advance. For domestic flights 1-3 months before your trip is ideal. For international flights, it’s best to book 2-8 months in advance.

Lastly, you may be able to find cheaper flights if you're willing to be flexible with your departure and arrival times.

Sure, it’s not ideal to arrive in the middle of the night, but if it saves you hundreds of dollars it’s worth losing one night of good sleep.

✈️ Click here to find the best ticket deals

Book your accommodation in advance

Once you've got your flights booked, it’s time to research budget accommodation. I always use Agoda and Booking to find the best value-for-money accommodation for our trips.

I recommend checking both platforms before you book to make sure you get a good deal.

Please note that Agoda includes taxes in their price whereas Booking doesn't always include this. Make sure to check this before finalizing your booking.

Also, if you're in a country with hefty ATM fees or a limit on how much cash you can withdraw per transaction it can be better to book with Agoda as you can often pay online with your credit card (thereby reducing your need for cash).

Cost of travel in Cambodia

Now that you know some great ways to save money in the planning phase of your Cambodia trip, it's time for a deep dive into our Cambodia expenses. Our daily expenses can be divided into five categories:

• Accommodation costs: 16% of our daily travel budget
• Transportation costs: 14% of our daily travel budget
• Cost of food & drinks: 39% of our daily travel budget
• Activity costs: 19% of our daily travel budget
• Visa costs: 12% of our daily travel budget

Cambodia travel cost

1. cost of accommodation in cambodia.

During our Cambodia trip, we stayed at three different hotels and spent $96 in 8 days. The average price per night was $12 *.

We stayed in private rooms with ensuite bathrooms. In the table below you can find the budget hotels in Cambodia that we stayed at.

* Note that our trip to Cambodia was a couple of years ago and average prices have increased a bit since then. I've updated the prices in the table to reflect the current prices per night, that's why these are a bit higher than the average of $12 per night mentioned (though still very affordable).

Budget hotels we stayed at in Cambodia

• Bohemiaz Resort & Spa in Kampot: I loved our stay at  Bohemiaz Resort & Spa , it was one of my favorite hotels of  our 5-month trip . This cute little resort offers a gorgeous view of the mountains, a swimming pool, and several super comfy chairs and hammocks to relax and enjoy a drink.   Click here to book .
• Diamond Palace II in Phnom Penh : this budget hotel is located across from the Royal Palace. The beds are comfortable and there are tea and coffee-making facilities in the room, as well as complimentary mineral water and a small fridge. It's a good budget hotel in Phnom Penh. Click here to book .
• Hak Boutique Hotel in Siem Riep : this is a lovely place to stay, with a spacious double room and comfortable beds. The food is great as well, and there is a swimming pool to cool off after a day of exploring. The family who runs the hotel is wonderful and will make you feel very welcome. Click here to book .

2. Cost of transport in Cambodia

Let’s take a closer look at transportation in Cambodia. There are many ways to travel around the country, such as buses, taxis and tuk tuk, and minivans.

One of the most popular and cost-effective ways is taking a bus. Bus services are available in most of the major cities and towns, and they're a great way to explore Cambodia.

A quick note: when traveling in Cambodia (and Southeast Asia in general), you need to be prepared for delays. Most of these delays will be relatively short but sometimes your bus or minivan can be delayed for hours (without anyone offering an explanation).

The easiest way to get from A to B in Cambodia is by booking your bus ticket via 12Go Asia . This is an online platform where you can book tickets for trains, buses, ferries, minivans, and private transfers all around Southeast Asia.

I've used 12Go Asia several times and had great experiences with both the ease of booking on the platform itself as well as their fast and friendly customer service when I needed to amend our booking.

For example, you can use 12Go Asia to book bus tickets from:

• Kampot to Phnom Penh ( check availability here )
• Phnom Penh to Siem Reap ( check availability here )

How much did we spend on transportation in Cambodia?

Looking into our own transportation expenses, when adding everything up our total transportation costs were $80. So $10 for us as a couple on an average travel day.

Check out our complete Cambodia itinerary  to read more about getting from place to place and which highlights you can't miss on your Cambodia trip!

In general: the faster you travel, the higher your average daily transportation costs.

If you're on a strict budget, it’s better to spend a couple of days at a handful of locations, instead of visiting lots of places because this requires moving around all the time (and therefore will be more expensive).

3. Cost of food in Cambodia

A general note about Cambodian cuisine: it's delicious! Cambodian food is known for its unique flavors and textures. Some of the most popular Cambodian dishes are:

• Amok (a coconut-based curry)
• Fish Amok (a similar dish with a fish base)
• Kuy Teav (a noodle soup)
• Samlor Korko (a sweet and sour soup)
• Lok Lak (a marinated beef dish)
• Banh Chiao (a type of fried flatbread)

If you're looking for something sweet, Cambodian desserts like Num Ansom (sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves) or Nom Krohk (fried coconut pancakes) are delicious.

How much did we spend on food and drinks in Cambodia?

Good news: the food in Cambodia is not only really tasty, but it’s also very cheap!

That is if you eat local food at local restaurants. Eating Western Food always triples the price of dinner when traveling around Southeast Asia.

So when it comes to food, explore the local markets to find inexpensive meals and try delicious street food whenever you have the chance.

Anyway, let’s talk numbers .

We spent $224 on food and drinks, on average $28 a day. Street food is the cheapest option and there are so many delicious dishes you can try during your trip!

However, looking at our own expenses, I think 90% of our food budget money was spent on Amok?, this traditional Khmer dish remains one of my favorite dishes!

The other 10% was probably spent on fresh fruit smoothies, which you can buy everywhere in Cambodia for approximately $1.

4. Cost of paid activities in Cambodia

When you’re in Cambodia, make sure to take advantage of all the free activities the country has to offer, like exploring temples and local markets and eating local food at local restaurants to save money.

Doing so will help you make the most of your vacation while still sticking to your budget.

When planning your Cambodia trip, it's worth looking into tour companies that offer (discounted) activities that can help you save money while still getting the best experience.

Klook is the largest tour operator in Southeast Asia, but Get Your Guide has been working really hard on growing their SEA offers as well so be sure to check out those websites as well when you're planning your Cambodia activities.

Some of the most worthwhile tours in Cambodia are:

• Angkor Wat highlights and sunrise tour : Angkor Wat is without a doubt one of the best places to visit in the entire world. With this tour, you get to watch the sunrise at Angkor Wat and soak up the early morning atmosphere on this full-day trip from Siem Reap. Book here .
• Tuol Sleng prison and Choeng Ek memorial tour : get picked up from your hotel and driven to the two locations, and learn from a local guide all about Cambodia’s harrowing history. Book here .
• Phnom Penh city tour : join this immersive heritage tour of Phnom Penh. Learn about the country’s rich history, from French colonial times to the Khmer Rouge regime. Book here .
• Siem Reap cooking class : learn to create delicious food and traditional Cambodian dishes led by a local chef. Book here .
• Kompong Phluk Floating Village tour : take a half-day trip to floating markets, fishing farms, and rice paddies in the more rural areas of Cambodia. Discover the day-to-day routines of the families who live in the floating villages at Tonle Sap. Book here .

How much did we spend on activities in Cambodia?

* Please note that entrance fees and prices have increased since our Cambodia trip so expect to pay more for similar activities. For example, a 1-day pass for Angkor Wat is now $35 per person.

Our total costs for (paid) activities came to $112, a daily average of $14 . As you can see from the table we did a lot of activities.

We rented a scooter and explored Bokor, Kampot, and Kep. We watched the movie ‘ The Killing Fields ’ in the Ecran Movie House in Kampot, our very own private cinema.

Well, it was actually a room with a big TV, but the movie is a must-see when you are in or going to Cambodia no matter how and where you watch it.

In Phnom Penh we went to the Tuol Sleng Museum and the Choeung Ek Killing Fields , I found it impossible to find the right words to write about these visits and haven't gone into detail on the blog.

However, these two places should be on any Cambodia itinerary as they played such a terrible but important role in the history of the country.

In Siem Reap , we explored the magical and ancient temples of Angkor Wat . We only spend one day in Angkor but you can easily spend (a lot) more time here, there are so many beautiful temples to see.

5. How much does a visa for Cambodia cost?

The costs for a tourist visa to Cambodia depend on your nationality. In our case, we have Dutch nationality and paid $35 for a 1-month single-entry visa .

We bought this visa at the land border between Vietnam and Cambodia. Officially, the Cambodian Visa costs $30 for most nationalities (read more Cambodia travel tips here).

However, there is a $5 fee levied at the border which makes the total visa fee $35 per person.

When looking exclusively at visa costs, it's better to stay in a country a bit longer, to spread the visa costs over more days.

We only ‘used' 8 days of the 30 days that our visa was valid for, so we could have gotten more value out of our visa. Maybe next time we'll be able to spend a month in Cambodia!

6. Travel insurance costs

I didn't include the cost of travel insurance in our Cambodia budget breakdown because we use our travel insurance for all our trips, not just for our Cambodia itinerary.

However, that doesn't take away the fact that making sure you have proper travel insurance is super important .

It helps protect you and your belongings in the event of a mishap during your travels. Furthermore, it provides coverage for medical expenses, trip cancellation, lost or stolen items, and more.

Also, having good travel insurance will provide you peace of mind, knowing that if something goes wrong, you have a safety net in place.

With so much to consider when planning a trip, having the right travel insurance can help ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey without stressing out about things that can go wrong.

Plan your Southeast Asia trip like a pro with these tools: ✈️ Find the best flight deals on Kiwi.com . ? Book your transport tickets (train, bus, ferry, minivan, and more) via 12Go.Asia ?️ Find your dream accommodation on Booking.com or Agoda . ? Book the best tours with Klook and Get Your Guide . ? Plan your journey with the  Lonely Planet . ?️ Travel safely and get reliable travel insurance from Safety Wing .

Cambodia trip budget: in conclusion

So, that's it, all our Cambodia travel expenses! Cambodia was a little more expensive for us than the other countries in Southeast Asia we visited.

You can compare our Cambodia travel costs with my budget breakdown posts for the Philippines , Vietnam , Malaysia , and Thailand .

The main reason for these slightly higher costs is that we only spent a week in Cambodia. Plus the exchange rate of the Euro against the Dollar was pretty terrible, which also did not help our travel budget.

Still, Cambodia is a very budget-friendly country. Its history and people will impress you and I encourage you to eat loads of Amok;-).

Thank you for this post and loving some of your other SE Asia posts. It's hard to find newer information and hard to find info on costs :)

I am heading to Cambodia and a few other places next week and can't wait!!!

Wednesday 6th of July 2016

I am really happy to hear that, thanks:-). Have a great trip in Cambodia and the other places you are going to visit!

Saturday 2nd of July 2016

Hello, Me, my sister and boyfriends are looking at either traveling Vietnam and Cambodia in one go or Japan. And i wondered if you could help? We are torn on what to do. Did you have a preference? is there a big budget difference between Vietnam, cambodia and japan? How long would you suggest in each country? Any information would be great! Thank you, Jess.

Sunday 3rd of July 2016

Hey Jessica, thanks for your comment! Awesome you have plans to travel to Vietnam, Cambodia or Japan. Each country was very different and it's hard to pick a favorite...

Japan is definitely the most expensive, I am currently working on a budget post for our 1 month trip but I guess our expenses were between 100-120 euro a day (mind you, I had a sponsored car for Hokkaido so that definitely saved us a lot of money). Both Cambodia as well as Vietnam are very affordable, you can check my budget breakdown for Vietnam for more info.

Japan was the most varied I suppose, we experienced 4 seasons in 1 month (snow, sakura, sun and some rainy days as well) and the nature is so different across the various regions. Vietnam is very easy to travel and the food is fresh, cheap and delicious. Cambodia made a deep impression upon me because of it's terrible history. But each country is worth a visit. I spent a month in both Japan and Vietnam and think you need at least that amount of time (though more would be better;-). I was in Cambodia for only 8 days but 2 weeks would be perfect I suppose (you would have time to visit Kampot, Phnom Penh, Siem Riep and Koh Rong).

Long story short, you can't really make the wrong decision. I would mostly look at your budget to decide where to go. Please let me know if there is anything else you would like to know!

Tuesday 29th of December 2015

Cambodia! It's been on my list since 2010, but something else always came up... I expected it to be a bit cheaper, to be honest. But I guess 8 days isn't too long for Cambodia, so you could possibly do if for cheaper.

Nope, I agree, it wasn't the cheapest country in Southeast Asia. Two reasons:

1 => The euro-dollar exchange rate. 2 => The short period of time I spent in Cambodia. It can be done cheaper, if you travel more slowly;-)

Hope you get opportunity to visit the country soon!

Monday 28th of December 2015

So much to see.... looks like you could use a week or two. Thanks for your reply!

Yes I think 2 weeks would be better. Have a great trip:-)

Sunday 27th of December 2015

I would really like to visit Angkor Wat, but always thought it would be expensive travelling there. So this blog turned out to be really useful :) Do you think spending one week in Cambodia is enough? Or would you recommend a longer trip?

Happy to hear you find the post helpful:-) Angkor is actually not that expensive and so amazing to visit! There were more places I wanted to visit in Cambodia, like Koh Rong in the South and the Mekong Delta near the Cambodian-Lao border in the North, so if you have more time...

Cambodia Travel Budget: What Does a Trip to Cambodia Cost?

Planning a trip to Cambodia on a budget and wondering exactly how much a trip to Cambodia costs? 

We’ve rounded up our full Cambodia travel budget in this blog post, and even though we blew our personal travel budget a bit on comforts like nicer hotels and restaurant meals, we still walked away feeling like backpacking Cambodia was an excellent value for money.

Relaxing at a beach resort, touring the temples of Angkor Wat , and exploring Phnom Penh all fit into our roughly $50/person/day expenses.

The Cambodia trip costs outlined here represent our time spent backpacking Cambodia on what we would consider a flashpacker budget. Basically, no to dorm rooms, (mostly) yes to a/c, and no to major luxuries.

We spent 17 full days in the country, averaging a total Cambodia travel budget of $98.96/day for two people, or $49.48 per person, per day. This added up to a total cost of $1682.35 for our 2.5 week trip.

All prices for our trip to Cambodia costs are listed in USD unless otherwise noted, and, as usual for our travel budget roundups, we don’t include the costs of entering or leaving the country here, as those expenses can vary so dramatically depending on your starting point (in our case, we entered Cambodia via a budget flight from Vientiane ).

Some links in this post may be affiliate links. If you make a purchase through one of these links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Please see our disclosure policy for more detail.

Our Lodging Costs in Cambodia

Total: $817.24 for 17 nights, an average $48.07/night..

We felt that we got excellent value for money with our hotels in Cambodia, including at the resort we stayed at on Koh Rong .

If you take off our Koh Rong resort splurge, our per night cost drops significantly–we only paid between $19-$37/night for the rest of our hotels.

Cambodia’s hotels offered a great value–both properties we stayed at in Phnom Penh and our property in Siem Reap had pools, were extremely clean, and were centrally located.

We would stay at any of them again–though, we would return to Kolab Sor Phnom Penh Hotel before Home Feel CS Hotel in Phnom Penh, just because they offered a lower price for what we thought to be a similar value.

Here’s where we stayed in Cambodia!

HomeFeel CS Hotel — Our first stop in Phnom Penh! The most memorable thing about this hotel (as all of our Cambodia hotels felt clean, safe, and accessible) was the breakfast–it was delicious, and served across the street in a restaurant!

On the day we left for Sihanoukville, the staff was happy to get us a takeaway breakfast to go with us.

Kolab Sor Phnom Penh Hotel — A huge room, a varied and delicious breakfast, and a great location in the heart of town–we were very satisfied with our second stop in Phnom Penh!

This hotel also has a reasonably priced rooftop bar with a very relaxed atmosphere–we loved watching the sunset over the city from here.

Check rates & book your stay in Phnom Penh today!

Sok San Beach Resort — This resort is beautiful, and located on the “quiet” side of Koh Rong–only a small fishing village was nearby.

The pluses included staying directly on 7 Kilometer Beach, delicious food, and the perfect place to relax.

The minuses included isolation, and the resulting lack of competition–most of the small restaurants in the fishing village were closed for the season, so we were stuck with resort food at resort prices for the duration of our stay.

If you want to “get away from it all”–this is the place to do it.

Check rates & book your stay at the Sok San Beach Resort!

Angkor Boutique Villa — We adored our guesthouse in Siem Reap, and would return here in a heartbeat.

This small, family-run guesthouse is on a very quiet road and also less than a 10-minute walk from Pub Street–who can beat that combination?

The family running it was incredibly kind and treated us to a wonderful meal our final night there.

The pool was beautiful and the perfect place to head after getting overheated at the temples, and the room was extremely clean with plenty of space.

Check rates & book your stay at Angkor Boutique Villa!

Our Transportation Expenses in Cambodia

Total: $251.10.

Our biggest transportation expense, by far, was the $80 we paid to take Sok San Beach Resort’s private ferry to Koh Rong and back to Sihanoukville–$20 per person/per way. 

The (clean, air-conditioned) buses that we took from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville and back, and to Siem Reap from Phnom Penh,  were a great value–about $15/person, give or take, for a several hour ride. We used Great Ibis and were very satisfied with them as a company.

Here’s a hint that I read too late: if you’re taking Great Ibis’ country bus, do not book seats 1A and 1B.

Those seats rest on a ledge, so your legs sit straight out in front of you rather than having a place to rest on the ground. That made for a much less comfortable ride to Sihanoukville than needed.

We could have upped this cost a bit by taking day trips outside of the cities–like from Phnom Penh to Oudong or from Siem Riep to ruins further away than Angkor Wat–but were content to stick closer to town on this trip.

Our Restaurant Travel Budget for Cambodia

Total: $426.64.

We went a little expensive on the food side in Cambodia–we ate lots of sit-down meals, especially at restaurants in Siem Reap , and during our week on Koh Rong , the resort food was really the only accessible food in the area.

Overall, the damage wasn’t bad–we averaged $13.31 per person/per day in food costs, including the grocery category.

Our Grocery Trip Costs in Cambodia

Groceries: $25.92.

“Groceries” in Cambodia consisted of about what it did in Thailand and Laos–water and the occasional snack item.

Virtually all of our meals were eaten out, with the exception of the owners of our guesthouse in Siem Reap making us a delicious thank you dinner by the pool one night.

Our Tour + Excursion Cambodia Travel Budget

Total: $146.00.

Considering how much adventure we squeezed into our Cambodia itinerary , I’m thrilled with this number!

$146.00 covered an ATV tour of Koh Rong, our 3-day passes to Angkor Wat , our visits to S21 and the Killing Fields , and–most inexpensively–about 15 minutes spent at a fish spa in Siem Reap.

The fish spa was bizarre, and I mostly laughed through the entire thing (I’m completely ticklish), but it did start to feel good after a while!

Miscellaneous Trip to Cambodia Costs

Total: $15.45.

We had very few miscellaneous expenses in Cambodia, and this category mostly consisted of replacing some toiletries that we were running low on.

This number does include our last round of completely inexpensive laundry–I miss $3.00 loads of laundry in Southeast Asia that included washing, drying, and folding!

Though we spent more than we initially planned for our Cambodia itinerary , I’m still entirely happy with our Cambodia budget.

Our decision to splurge on nicer accommodation in Koh Rong definitely edged our numbers upward, but it was worth it–we were ready for something slower-paced at that point.

While food also ate into the budget, transportation and excursions were both incredibly affordable in Cambodia.

With the exception of maybe a couple of meals that we could have done more cheaply, I wouldn’t change anything about how we managed our Cambodia travel budget.

About Kate Storm

In May 2016, I left my suburban life in the USA and became a full-time traveler. Since then, I have visited 50+ countries on 5 continents and lived in Portugal, developing a special love of traveling in Europe (especially Italy) along the way. Today, along with my husband Jeremy and dog Ranger, I’m working toward my eventual goal of splitting my life between Europe and the USA.

Hi! I love your website! We’ve been travelling for a year but the money’s run out (we don’t have remote work options just yet but have been bitten by the long term travel bug and are looking for options…). I am the budget guru in our relationship and I love that you keep such a budget too! We managed $65 per day for the both of us but knew we were getting to the end so we were pretty tight on the purse. Anyways – just wanted to say I’m enjoying reading your posts! Greetz Marina

Aw, thanks so much Marina! Very impressive budget–as you can see, we definitely didn’t keep it that low, though we had originally intended to! Glad to have you around the blog. 🙂

Sounds like you had an amazing time in Cambodia. As you know, we LOVE it there and go back every chance we get. We usually stay in cheaper accommodation than you, but next time we go back we’ll probably spend a little more to me a little more comfortable.

We definitely did! Cambodia is lovely–we are missing Southeast Asia, hopefully we’ll finally make it back in 2019.

next trip to cambo….be sure to visit Kampot and Kep….smaller towns, but very affordable and slow paced without the cost of the islands

Currency in Cambodia

The official currency in Cambodia is the Cambodian riel (KHR) . However, the US dollar is also used in the country. Especially in tourist facilities, paying with US dollars is common. However, it is more common to pay in riel in local stores and street food stalls.

At the time of the last update of this article, one dollar is equivalent to around 4,000 Riel.

Saving tips: How to visit Cambodia on a Budget

While we used many “tricks” to save money in Japan, such as Couchsurfing and hitchhiking, we traveled more traditionally in Cambodia. As always, we didn’t miss out on anything and saved a lot of money.

General Cambodia money-saving tip

You can sometimes save a few dollars by paying with the local currency, the riel, instead of US dollars. The prices in US dollars are often higher than in the local currency. If the converting rates are bad, though, paying in US dollars can actually be recommended.

Transport Saving Tips

Getting to cambodia.

Just getting to Cambodia can account for up to 50% of your travel costs. Therefore, this is the first step to reducing your travel costs. Look for flights several weeks (ideally six weeks or more) in advance.

I recommend using a flight price comparison tool like Skyscanner to get an overview of the various offers. (Don’t forget to delete your cookies before searching!)

The average flight price between Germany and Cambodia (Frankfurt – Phnom Penh) is just under €550 and €1,200 for a return flight. From New York, expect to pay around $ 1,000 . It may be worth connecting different Southeast Asian countries to save on flight costs.

Another option is to consider a transfer flight. It is often cheaper to fly to Bangkok or Singapore first.

Follow our tips for booking flights online to find the best deal.

Note: Please note that the flight costs are not included in our cost breakdown.

Check flights on Skyscanner

Buses are usually the most accessible and most affordable means of transportation when traveling through Cambodia, although they don’t cover every route. Minivans are another standard option.

The first rule for getting your ticket is to shop for the best prices. You can do this online through platforms like 12Go Asia or visiting various local travel agencies.

There’s often a significant price difference between agencies . It’s wise to check with several, as accommodations like hotels may offer tickets at a higher price. Sometimes, there’s a choice between different service levels, with the more luxurious options being pricier.

Remember that night buses typically cost more than those running during the day.

Tuk-Tuk and Taxi

Bargaining is key when taking a tuk-tuk or taxi in Cambodia. If you accept the first price quoted, you’re likely paying much more than the journey is worth. A general guideline is to pay no more than $1 per kilometer. You can check prices on travel blogs or ask your hotel for an appropriate fare for popular routes.

Negotiating Effectively

Even if you’re not a natural at haggling, like myself, give it a try. Start with a lower offer than what you’re willing to pay . In the best case, the driver will agree immediately. If not, they’ll probably counter with a higher price. The goal is to meet in the middle, hopefully leaving both parties satisfied.

Cambodia Food Saving Tips

Regarding food, there are two main ways to save a lot of money when traveling to Cambodia. And the best part is that they are pretty easy to follow.

Avoiding tourist restaurants

In Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, in particular, you will find that many restaurant prices are not at all what you would expect in Southeast Asia. On the contrary, some dishes almost reach the price level you are used to at home. But is that really necessary? No, not at all.

If you simply go one street further, a little off the main road, you will find plenty of options for a reasonably priced meal .

Even if you generally avoid street food, there are also affordable restaurants with a quality comparable to tourist restaurants. So just keep your eyes open. Most restaurants in Cambodia have their menus displayed outside the door so that you can look and compare at your leisure before entering the restaurant.

Eating Street food

If you want to save a lot of money on food in Cambodia, there’s a magic word: street food! It’s not only inexpensive but usually also super tasty . I know many travelers shy away from street food and have heard some horror stories. But I myself have never felt sick after eating street food in the country.

It’s actually relatively easy to find out which food is good. Just look around you. Do many locals eat here? Then they must indeed have had a good experience here in the past. So there’s probably nothing for you to worry about, either.

Just try it, and you’ll probably want to eat street food more often afterward.

Staying hydrated is essential, especially in the hot weather in Cambodia. Unfortunately, there are few ways to save money when buying water here. Some accommodations offer to refill your bottle for free or for little money. This not only saves money but is also good for the environment.

In general, however, water in Cambodia is relatively expensive compared to its neighboring countries, Thailand and Vietnam. So try to buy large rather than small bottles to save a few cents.

Or how about not spending money on water at all?

Yes, you read that right. You can travel through Cambodia without buying water. Not only can you spare your Cambodia budget, but you can also do something good for the environment. And no, I don’t want you to die of thirst…

The trick? Tap water! That’s not drinkable in Cambodia, you’re probably thinking… That’s true, but there is a way to make the tap water drinkable. And that is with a so-called Lifestraw . This disinfects and filters the water so that you can drink it.

Vicki’s note: Make sure ONLY to drink tap water if it is filtered with a trusted filter! Otherwise, tap water in Cambodia is not drinkable .

Saving on Entries & Activities in Cambodia

Unfortunately, you cannot do much about the entrance fees in Cambodia. If you want to see something, you have to pay for it. As a rule, however, the entrance fees in the country are not that high. Exceptions are Angkor Wat, which tries to get everything out of the tourists with an entrance fee of $37, the Royal Palace, and the National Museum in Phnom Penh for $10 each.

Whether these prices are worth the entrance fee is something everyone has to decide for themselves. Of course, we couldn’t do without Angkor Wat, so we paid $62 for three days. As you can see, this makes up most of the $91 we spent on entrance fees and activities.

It can be worth reviewing various attractions and tours beforehand (e.g., on TripAdvisor ). This will help you decide whether a visit is worth the entrance fee.

Savings Tips for Accommodation

Accommodations in Cambodia are surprisingly affordable. You can easily find a basic double room with a fan in a hostel starting at just $7. In places like Battambang, we even managed to snag a double room with a private bathroom for a mere €5 per night – less than €2.5 per person!

For groups of two or more, opting for a double room often makes more financial sense than choosing beds in a dormitory. Solo travelers can look into room-sharing options, maybe by connecting with fellow travelers in backpacker groups on Facebook or directly at the location.

For those who prefer their own space, there’s good news: even private rooms are quite budget-friendly, making them a viable option for solo travelers.

Should you book your accommodation in advance?

At many destinations in the country, we chose our accommodation locally rather than booking online. However, in hindsight, I honestly don’t think it was worth the local search and lugging our backpacks around after the long bus rides.

Even though you might save a dollar or two by searching on the spot, you’ll save a lot of valuable time if you simply book online beforehand . The price difference between deciding on the spot and booking online is only minimal, and you can honestly make better use of your time.

The best way to do this is to use a booking site like Booking.com , where the reviews of other travelers alone can benefit your search for accommodation.

Vicki’s extra tip: Honestly, price isn’t everything. We learned this the hard way after spending a night in a poorly rated hostel surrounded by cockroaches and bedbugs. Since then, I’d rather pay an extra buck a night than spend the night in a run-down hostel. Never book accommodation without reading the reviews first.

Check accommodation in Cambodia at Booking.com

Other travel expenditures

The rest of our money we mostly spent on fresh coconuts and fruit juices.

We just couldn’t get enough of it. The fruits in Cambodia taste so much better than the ones I am used to from Central Europe. And also, it is just so cheap. Well, it adds up anyway within 27 days.

Another significant expense was the After-sun-lotion we had to buy after we returned from our Island hopping tour in Sihanoukville with a big sunburn . Sunscreen and After-sun-lotion are super expensive in Cambodia as the main customers are tourists. If possible, bring enough of it from your country.

Alcoholic drinks can be pretty cheap in Cambodia. You can buy cheap cocktails and long drinks, especially at the night market in Siem Reap or Phnom Penh. But also in other cities, such as Kampot, you can find cheap options like 2-for-1 or Happy Hour offers.  

But please keep in mind that when you buy for low prices, you will most probably not receive high-quality alcohol.  If you want a beer with your food, it is usually relatively cheap in any restaurant or supermarket.

A local SIM card can help you stay mobile and find your way around. Practically, SIM cards in Cambodia can be pretty affordable .

Depending on the length of your stay, you can find providers with 5 GB data volume for 30 days for just about $5. So, you don’t need to worry that mobile data will eat a big hole in your Cambodia budget.

4 thoughts on Cambodia on a Budget: Travel Cost Breakdown, Prices & Savings Tips – It’s so easy to make your trip significantly cheaper

You’re spot on about street food! I’ve never quite understood why so many people have such an aversion to it… but then again, I’ve never had a bad experience, so I guess I’m just lucky 😉 It’s such a great way to eat for cheap, especially in SEA. I’ve got to be a bit more careful now that I’m gluten-free, but it hasn’t caused a problem yet. This post also gave me major nostalgia/envy for the drink prices!! I’ve not made it to Cambodia yet, but this post has given me hope that it’s do-able on my rapidly-shrinking travel budget… thank you for sharing! 😉

yeah, right? I just love street food (actually just coming back from a street food market in Malaysia right now haha)

Awesome article! Always happy to read about good cash-saving techniques. Thanks

It’s so easy to do Cambodia on a budget! I was only there just over a week but agree that it’s very cheap.

Cost To Travel Cambodia: My $29.00 Per Day Travel Budget

Planning on traveling around Cambodia? Then come check the cost to travel Cambodia on a budget backpacker style. Let’s talk about the price of accommodation, transportation, food, and more before I let you know my EXACT Cambodia trip cost!

One thing I always do on my travels is keep a budget as it allows me to make sure I don’t overspend. As a bonus it also allows me to write super informative posts where I can share my true costs to travel Cambodia , and create an exact Cambodia travel budget.

When you check out Cambodia online and its travel costs you will generally see it in the lower half of Southeast Asian countries. though I must say proceed with caution as it is super easy to overspend here.

Also as they use US Dollars, if your home currency isn’t that strong, you may feel like you are actually spending quite a bit. Overall most websites seem to recommend somewhere from $20.00 to $50.00 per day.

Though as this is a huge range it’ll entirely come down to what type of traveler you are. For me, this post is for the budget-conscious traveler, who will book accommodation on the cheaper side, but not the cheapest, and eat at restaurants over street food.

Surprisingly even in Asia traveling can be expensive. It’s easy to find yourself craving a taste of home and sitting down in a British-style pub. Perhaps you want to book a hotel room in Siem Reap with an infinity pool and air conditioning.

Once you get a small taste of luxury it can be hard to go back to sitting on the curb with a meal or sharing a room with 12 other strangers.

Nevertheless, backpacking is a great way to explore a country. You’ll meet some great people, taste delicious food and discover the beauty of varied landscapes.

So, enough chatter, let’s get into my Cambodia budget and how much it cost to travel Cambodia!

How I Book Cheap Cambodia In Cambodia: 12.Go Asia

My partner, James joined me on this backpacking Cambodia trip. This allows us to split certain costs such as private rooms, taxis, hiring a motorbike, etc. Where this is true I will state that the cost is ‘shared’ or ‘split’. Now time to get on to find the cost to travel in Cambodia…

Like any country accommodation costs can fluctuate quite a bit. Though I must say Cambodia has some of the best value-for-money hotels I have ever experienced.

In places like Siem Reap it is quite easy to find a private room full of creature comforts from $20.00 per night. Though you can’t let the air conditioning get the better of you and forget you are actually on a budget. I may or may not have found myself in this position numerous times throughout my travels.

Personally, I like using Booking.com to book accommodation everywhere I travel. This is due to the fact that they offer free cancellation allowing me to change my plan relatively last minute.

You will also find in Southeast Asia many of the places you will still need to pay at the property as they prefer cash and are not set up to accept credit cards online or in person.

Cost of Hostels In Cambodia

If you are truly on a budget you will no doubt be staying in hostels while traveling in Cambodia. These range from super modern pod style to your typical metal childhood bunk beds and everything in between.

Though one of my favorite things about hostels in Cambodia is the social atmosphere and events they put on. It is also great value for money as most hostels will have air conditioning and a pool as well!

I have stayed in a handful of hostels in Cambodia, and often times when I haven’t, I have wished I had. Even though you can split a private room for about the same price as a hostel, you will be forgoing a lot of comforts such as air conditioning, which in my opinion is much needed here.

Cost of Guesthouses In Cambodia

I have stayed in plenty of guesthouses in Cambodia, honestly probably too many to count over my numerous trips there. In my opinion, they are the perfect mid-budget option, a little bit nicer than a hostel since you have privacy, but you aren’t paying the price tag of a hotel.

Just be aware that even though you will get your own private room, this is to more local standards than Western standards.

For example, the bed may be hard, your shower might be located straight over the toilet, and don’t expect an onsite restaurant. Typically they are in a large house and run by the family who owns it. You will get a private bathroom and a clean room. Though the furniture might be a bit dated.

I find guesthouses the perfect option if traveling as part of a couple. Generally, prices are around the same as booking 2 dorm beds but be aware the cheaper ones won’t have air conditioning, so always make sure to double-check when booking.

Cost of Hotels In Cambodia

I honestly may be the wrong person to talk about hotels in Cambodia. I have stayed in a couple, though this has only happened when I have been sick and need some creature comforts, or don’t have cash and only have access to a credit card for payment.

I will say though, if you enjoy a bit of luxury, but cannot often afford it in Western countries. Then you will absolutely love hotels in Cambodia. You can find plenty of affordable hotels here starting from $30.00 per night.

Brand-name hotels will be a bit pricier, though it is much cheaper than you can find elsewhere in the world. The service is often second to none and you will be living in uttermost luxury.

Food Prices in Cambodia

Now Cambodia may not be as well known as its neighboring countries Thailand and Vietnam in terms of being a foodie destination. Though you can still find some delicious dishes and restaurants.

Luckily you will find both street food and meals in restaurants are both pretty damn affordable. I would rarely spend more than $5.00 on a meal out with a drink.

You will find street food more affordable than that again, though in all honesty personally, I didn’t fall in love with any street food in Cambodia. But I will say I am a pretty fussy vegetarian so that is normal for me.

If I am being honest, when I travel in Cambodia, and Southeast Asia generally, I never buy my own food to cook. This is because eating out is so affordable. You will also find the same thing happening with local people who will often head to one of the many street food vendors for a meal.

Streetfood in Cambodia

Now I am not going to lie I honestly haven’t eaten that much street food in Cambodia. Though I have eaten food from street food vendors in the touristy spots in Siem Reap, but not in the likes of a more local experience.

From my experience, the street food scene here isn’t as common as you would find in the neighboring countries of Vietnam and Thailand.

On our Stray tour, we did stop off on the side of the road to try BBQ’d rats and frogs. Though times like these I am lucky I am a vegetarian so I have an excuse to politely decline.

Restaurants in Cambodia

Now for the most part we mainly eat at restaurants during our travels in Cambodia. Whether you are wanting an amok curry or a wood-fired pizza. You will be able to find both options in the main tourist hubs without having to look far.

There is plenty of places that cater to vegetarians and vegans, so it was so easy for me to find a delicious spot to eat. Tofu is a common ingredient in many places around the country for vegetarians.

The prices here are insanely affordable and there is always a variety of choices available. I was always able to eat at a restaurant for whatever I was craving and even splurged on fancier options a couple of times.

One thing I also enjoyed about Siem Reap is that many restaurants are commonly social enterprises where they support local villages and communities, provide learning opportunities, and train local workers.

Transportation Costs in Cambodia

No doubt there are some amazing places in Cambodia and you will be needing some sort of transport to get around. Though luckily because this is such a popular country to travel to, there are numerous ways you can choose to travel around.

Whether you are needing a shuttle bus, train, bus, boat, or perhaps even a flight. As long as you stick to the typical tourist route I promise you will have no issues figuring out how to get from A to point B.

One thing that Cambodia doesn’t have, that you will often find in Vietnam or Thailand is overnight journeys. Most popular routes around the country max out at around 6 or 8 hours so doing an overnight trip isn’t popular here.

Your longer days will be getting down to the islands. Definitely check out 12.Go Asia to book your transport for easy and comfortable options with reviews so you can know what to expect.

Trains in Cambodia

Now trains are definitely not as popular of a transportation method as in other countries. The main reason for this is the lack of usable railway lines in the country. Up until 2009, there was actually only one train service in the entire country, running from Battambang to Phnom Penh.

Though this was stopped in 2009 when it was no longer viable. Thankfully due to increased tourism and demand for trains Toll Royal Railway was given a 30-year contract to repair and operate the railway lines in the country.

Nowadays you can travel by train from Phnom Penh to Battambang , Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville , and Phnom Penh to Kampot. As you can see this does cover a lot of the country. Though because it was unavailable for such a long period of time it is still not a popular method of travel.

Buses In Cambodia

Taking a bus is no doubt the most popular way to travel around Cambodia and as the country is relatively flat with plenty of highways the journeys are rather straightforward and uneventful. This is also one of the cheapest ways to travel so it will definitely help your Cambodia travel budget.

I for sure have taken my fair share of buses in Cambodia, and thankfully all have been positive experiences. Though I would recommend checking out reviews before booking, especially on those longer journeys.

I always book with the Giant Ibis where possible when traveling Cambodia as I know they are a reliable company that will provide a safe and comfortable service. You can book them through 12.Go Asia .

Shuttle Buses In Cambodia

Now, this is another form of transport I have taken in Cambodia. Though in my opinion, my experiences were for sure mixed.

Sometimes, we had a decent van and decent driver, and other times we were squished into the back of a random local van. Though those latter experiences were booked through travel agents, not by booking online with reputable companies.

Once again I would recommend checking out reviews before booking, so you know exactly what to expect. You can also find some nice limo buses operating in the country with lazy boy-style seats, now that is traveling in luxury. You can book shuttle bus tickets in Cambodia online at 12.Go Asia .

Flying in Cambodia

I actually may not be overly qualified to talk about this simply because I have actually never taken a domestic flight in Cambodia. The country has pretty good ground transport which is a lot more affordable. As a result, this doesn’t make flying an appealing option to me.

Though you will find airports in all major cities around the country. This would be a good option for longer distances like Siem Reap to Sihanoukville.

Boats In Cambodia

Now you will need to take some sort of boat if you are planning to check out the incredible islands, which I highly recommend you do. They have some of the best beaches I have ever experienced, anywhere.

Luckily once you are in Sihanoukville it is super easy to catch a boat to either Koh Rong or Kong Rong Samloem from the ferry terminal.

Prices will differ depending on what type of service you book but you can expect to pay around $20.00 for a one-way journey. Once you are also on your desired island it is easy to catch the local boat to the neighboring island for $5.00.

I have had both a chill relaxing experience on the boat and others that have been blasting loud dubstep. It’s completely a mystery until you are onboard as to what to expect so just come with an open mind.

Below you will find what exactly I spent my money on while in Cambodia, day by day, city by city.

Cambodia Travel Budget In Phnom Penh

We grab some more snacks and a couple of bottles of water throughout the day for $2.00 each

After a late lunch, we have a basic dinner of a streetside crepe for $1.00

We stay at a local guesthouse a quick 5-minute walk out of the city center. Though the heat has become too much so we upgrade to an air-con room for $6.00 each per night Daily Cost In Cambodia: $27.50

Surprisingly my budget was actually pretty decent for Cambodia. Originally I budgeted I would spend $30.00 per day and I ended up pretty close at $29.56 per day. Though in saying this, I could have easily overspent. This Cambodia travel budget is honestly the bare minimum I would recommend traveling with.

I know it may seem like we pigged out with plenty of restaurant meals, though this was mainly at locally run places that were quite affordable. Also if I were to travel it again I would splurge and book rooms with air conditioning as we quite struggled with only having a fan.

It only costs a couple of dollars more to wake up fresh and not covered in sweat.

No doubt there were two big experiences in Cambodia which were the visa on arrival, and the entry fee for Angkor Archeological Park. Well, the visa on arrival is kind of unavoidable, and the same with Angkor Archeological Park as it is one of the best things to do here.

I was surprised by the relatively affordable cost of minivans and transport in the country. It felt pretty affordable compared to neighboring Thailand where you can spend up to $30.00 on just one ferry trip.

Though, all in all, my cost per day of $29.56 was pretty damn good and I had a fantastic time exploring Cambodia.

How I Book Cheap Transport In Cambodia: 12.Go Asia

• Book hostels and hotels with free breakfast.
• Check out whether your accommodation also includes free water.
• Share transport with other people, waiting ten minutes to see if anyone else is going to the airport/bus station could save you money.
• Haggle with tuk-tuk prices when traveling between locations to ensure you get a decent price
• Put on those walking shoes and venture out early to beat the heat!
• Bring snacks to the island to save some money on eating out!

Cost of Travel in Cambodia

How much does it cost to travel Cambodia? In this guide, we'll help you understand the travel cost in Cambodia, share Cambodia accommodation prices for various budgets, give you our best tips for finding cheap places to stay and help you choose the best budget for your style of travel.

Table of Contents

Introduction to Cambodia Travel Costs

How to get cheap flights in cambodia, how to find the best accommodation deals in cambodia, sample accommodation budget in cambodia, siem reap (angkor wat), sihanoukville, phnom penh (airport options), cost of food, cost of going out / drinking, cost of activities & attractions, overall cost travel in cambodia.

Cambodia is a thrilling SE Asia destination, and though most travelers are attracted by the stunning temple complex of Angkor Wat , the Kingdom has so much more to offer.

The costs of travel in Cambodia are toward the lower end of the budget spectrum.

However, be careful as some may try to get more money from you by charging US dollars for small things like food. For example, a coconut might cost 2,000 KHR ($0.50), but a vendor might say $1 to a foreigner.

Cambodia uses the Riel (KHR) currency, though US dollars are almost the preferred monetary currency throughout the country. It's wise to carry a supply of US money when visiting Cambodia.

Getting a tourist eVisa to Cambodia is easy and can be handled online for stays of up to 30 days.

Cost of Transportation

Motorcycle taxis

Throughout the cities of Cambodia, random men with motorcycles will pull up and offer a ride on their motorcycle for a fee.

This method of transportation relies squarely on your judgment as to whether the price is worth it or not. It's not much money, but it's not as safe.

I'd say somewhere around $1 for a 5-10 km ride and less for a tiny 1 km ride.

Motorcycle tuk-tuks

Carts pulled by motorcycles are the most common form of taxi around towns. Rates shouldn't be much more than a dollar for a short ride.

Bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh : a six to seven-hour journey to a popular destination on the local bus can cost $5-6. On the more tourist-oriented bus, the trip can run around $10.

The bus from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville (five hours) is $5 (20,500 KHR).

Cambodia has a few discount airlines that can get you from place to place quickly and comfortably.

It's a good idea to use Skyscanner to compare the best deals. Here is an example of the average prices of domestic flights between major cities in Cambodia.

• Phnom Penh to Siem Reap: from $30
• Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville: from $60
• Siem Reap to Sihanoukville: from $33
• Phnom Penh to Bangkok: from $51

Cost of Accommodation

Most accommodation options in Cambodia deal only in dollars.

Siem Reap, the entrance town of the famous temples of Angkor Wat, and Phnom Penh  are loaded with all sorts of accommodation options.

As with much of Southeast Asia, finding a friend and paying for a double room is usually easier than finding a dorm room.

• Double fan room for two: around $4 – 5 (16,430 – 20,500 KHR)
• Double air-con rooms: $6 – 8 (24,600 – 32,900 KHR)
• Step up to medium range accommodation: $10 – 20 (41,100 – 81,200 KHR)

The best way to find cheap deals on hostels and hotels in Cambodia is to use Hotels Combined to compare prices with Hostelworld .

Hotels Combined is a meta-aggregator that compares the deals offered on other popular booking sites to find the best price for the best places.

It doesn't include Hostelworld , so you'll need to compare that site on your own.

We estimate a 10-day trip through Cambodia will cost you between $50 and $258, depending on your travel style (from “on the cheap,” “upscale budget” and, “flashpacker”).

Here's a sample 12-day itinerary for the different travel styles and budgets and how the types of accommodation could impact your trip.

We've looked at different Cambodia hostel and hotel options for this itinerary:

• 3 Nights in Siem Reap
• 1 Night Battambang
• 3 Nights Phnom Penh
• 3 Nights in Sihanoukville
• 1 night in Phnom Penh (before your outbound flight)

On the cheap

Hostel Salakamreuk for those who want a bit more space in a quieter spot, $3 (12,500 KHR) a night for a dorm, or Boutique Dormitory Kochi-ke is a bit closer to the center and its nightlife also for $3 per night for a dorm.

If you can stretch it and want to party, grab a bed at Funky Flashpacker for $5.

Total for 3 nights = $9 (37,000 KHR)

Upscale Budget

Highly rated Onederz Siem Reap has bunks in dorms for $9 a night. It's right in the center and has a pool, bar, and restaurant on site.

One Stop Hostel is another well-liked spot for $7 for a dorm, and it's super close to all the nightlife.

Total for 3 nights = $20 – $26 (82,000 – 107,000 KHR)

Affordable Flashpacker

For a quiet spot to relax after a long day, double rooms at Golden Takeo Guesthouse are $15 a night, with breakfast included.

If you prefer to be in the action, Siem Reap Pub Hostel has great-looking private rooms with private bathrooms for $14 a night. Swimming pool and restaurant on site.

Total for 3 nights = $43 – $60 (177,000 – 247,000 KHR)

In the old center and cheap, rooms for $5 a night at Chhaya Hotel.

You could also try Shang Hai Guest House; it's a further walk from the river and the center, but quiet and friendly, $5 a night for a double room.

Total for 1 night = $5 (20,500 KHR)

A double room with a private bathroom at the Royal Hotel Battambang can be had for $12 a night.

It's nicely located close to both the river and the historical center and has a rooftop restaurant.

Total for 1 night = $12 (49,000 KHR)

The Asia Hotel gets some great reviews, is close to Boeung Chhouk Market, slightly away from the historical center, but tuk-tuks are cheap and always plentiful, or hire a bike from the front desk.

Cheaper rooms are fan only, a bit extra for a/c.

Total for 1 night = $11 – $16 (45,000-65,700 KHR)

A well-located and well-liked place like 19 Happy House Backpacker has bunks for as little as $5 per night.

Cheap beds and good vibes can also be found at Velkommen Backpackers (now rebranded as Riverside Backpackers) for $6 a night.

Total for 3 nights = $15-18 (61,600 – 74,000 KHR)

Lovely Jubbly Villa is well located close to many tourist attractions, has a swimming pool, bar and restaurant on-site, and many different room options.

Great-looking comfortable bunks in dorms can be had for $6 a night.

Total for 3 nights = $18 (74,000 KHR)

A private double room with a shared bathroom is a super modern place like Sla Boutique Hostel; go for $21 a night.

Alternatively, the popular Alibi House has large double rooms with private bathrooms for $23 a night and has a very nice garden and terrace area.

Total for 3 nights = $63 – $69 (258,800 – 283,400 KHR)

Backpacker Heaven Hostel has a swimming pool, bar, and restaurant, and overall good vibes.

Bunks can be had for $4 a night. The Big Easy is another popular and lively spot where bunks in dorms are about $5 a night.

Total for 3 nights = $12 – $15 (49,200 – 61,600 KHR)

Onederz Sihanoukville is highly rated for its cleanliness, location, and its value. It has a swimming pool and shared kitchen, dorms for $18 a night.

Or, if you want to be a bit more remote, head out of town and get a bungalow at Mama Clare's for $20 a night.

Total for 3 nights = $54 – $60 (222,000 – 246,500 KHR)

Quiet beachside bungalows at Hi5 Bungalows are $20 a night and are close to beach bars, local restaurants, and entertainment.

If a beach resort feel is what you're after, check out the 3-star Sok Sabay Resort with beautiful air-conditioned bungalows for $25 a night.

Total for 3 nights = $60 – $75 (246,500 – 308,000 KHR)

Back in Phnom Penh for a night before you fly out, obviously you can stay where you stayed before, a cheap bunk somewhere in town and take a taxi, or check out KOL House for a double room for $15 and a quick ride to the airport in the morning. Or try TOP Hostel for $20 a night.

Total for 1 night = $15 – $20 (61,500 – 82,100 KHR)

S-Susheel Mart Guesthouse is the best-rated guesthouse we could find close to the airport in a decent price range.

Free airport shuttle, breakfast included, and the owner takes good care of the guests. Not much around the airport, but if you have time, they can arrange transport into the city, $21 a night.

Total for 1 night = $21 (86,000 KHR)

Spend a comfortable night near the airport at the 3-star 9 Dragon Hotel & Restaurant .

It has a pool, fitness room, restaurant, and all breakfast is included, and there is a market quite close to get a little something else. Double rooms go for about $38 a night.

Total for 1 night = $38 (155,800 KHR)

The total accommodation budget for this 12-day/11-night sample itinerary was:

“On the cheap” (bunks as cheap as possible) $50 – $58

“Upscale budget” (bunks in 'boutique' and well-located hostels) was $100 – $109

“Affordable flashpacker” (private rooms in boutique hostels, or 3-star hotels) was $215 – $258

Around the major tourist attractions (namely Angkor Wat ), prices for everything are inflated.

Local food can still be found relatively cheap if you look where the locals eat.

If you like to dine at restaurants with nice seating environments designed for foreigners, food prices can be relatively high.

Street food is not as sanitary as in Thailand , but I ate it every meal and never had a problem.

Cambodian food is a delicious combination reminiscent of a Thai and Vietnamese fusion, along with a few fantastic noodle dishes.

• I ate most of my meals in local markets, a plate of rice, and a selection of tasty dishes: 6,000 KHR ($1 – $2)
• Single plate dishes including rice should cost: $0.75 – $1.25 (3,000 – 5,000 KHR)
• Cambodian version of baguette sandwiches on the street: $0.50 (2,000 KHR) 
• I ate some decent Indian food in Phnom Penh for $2 (8,000 KHR)

For nicer sit-down restaurants, it's common to eat meals for anywhere from $2-5 (10,000 to 20,000 KHR). A big bottle of water: $0.50 (2,000 KHR)

Most of the drinking and partying is done at small guest house bars and hangouts around the area.

There are plenty of clubs and nightlife options within Phnom Penh if you are up for it.

A big bottle of Angkor beer: $1 (5,000 KHR), while some places will charge $1 for a beer or drink.

Angkor Wat entrance (as of April 2019):

• $37 (152,000 KHR) for a 1-day pass
• $62 (254,500 KHR) for a 3-day pass
• $72 (295,600 KHR) for a 7-day pass

Hiring a tuk-tuk all day to visit the temples around Angkor: $13 (53,400 KHR) 

Killing Fields : $2 entrance + $13 tuk-tuk to get there (61,600 KHR total)

Museums in Phnom Penh: $2 entrance (8,200 KHR)

While Cambodia is famous for a few attractions, the most interesting sites can be seen just walking around, visiting with Cambodians, and sampling the local cuisine.

Add to the experience and go with a guide. Check out these amazing tours:

Siem Reap: Full-Day Small-Group Temples Tour 4.8 / 5 from 50+ reviews From $17 (70,000 KHR)

Siem Reap Jeep Tour to Angkor Wat and Ta Prohm 4.9 / 5 from 65+ reviews From $48 (197,000 KHR)

Half-Day Tour of Tuol Sleng and Choeng Ek Killing Field 4.4 / 5 from 8+ reviews From $29 (119,000 KHR)

The low cost of food and accommodation in Cambodia makes it a great budget travel destination.

Except for Angkor Wat, I could get away with spending around $10 – $12 per day on average.

If you do plenty of activities and drink, your cost of travel in Cambodia may be anywhere from $15 – $30 per day.

If you're paying by credit card, check the exchange rate before you pay.

While the cost of living is low, entrance fees to tourist sites in tourist areas can quickly add up to a lot of money.

The growth in tourist-focused luxury hotels and tour companies in recent years has also made it harder for budget travelers on a mid-range budget to find a good deal.

Even if you're going off the beaten track in rural areas, your overall costs can mount up. But the good news is that following these tips is a great way to have a good time for a reasonable price.

Most bars on pub street in Siem Reap now do beer at 50 cents per pint

Wednesday 10th of January 2018

Most prices are unrealistic in 2028 to go by on 12 dollars a day would be a major job, regard cambodia as being 50% more expensive than thailand or indonesia and you will be right off double that on transportation. There is no one dollars meal unless you go far iff the track it took me 2 hours in Pp to find a 1.5 dollars meal whereas on bali its everywhere the first days in cambodia i spend around double of indonesia an thailand the wsy around it us thinking in riel dollars will rip you off many things are pricey hete like water 1 dollars a bottle generally it looks like the expectation us a double up so until you are willing to really look at what you are sp ending double up your budget. With cheap dorms 20 dollars is possible witout drinks sn transportation, in pp use uber you wil get an aircon taxi prepaid no hassle cheaper than any tuk tuk . If you wat to go to the island expect to pay 40dollars pr night fore a simple beach hut 10 dollars fore a tent 20 dolars fore a half hour boat trip ,5 dollars fore a falafel And 3.5 to 5 fore khmer food beers are cheap though, during my stay i meet backpackers leaving cambodia because of their budget. Bottom line cambodia aint cheap prepare to spend more than in thailand or indonesia

Hi we are going for 9 nights Vietnam and 5 Cambodia has anyone got recent updates on cost of food/beer and where it is best to eat.. any other advice is welcome

Thursday 20th of April 2017

it's easy to give static prices, but I've found the reality in SEA is that the static price is only theoretical. Vendors in Cambodia are often reluctant to charge anything less than a dollar to a tourist, so the cost of small items can double. businesses in the region act as cartels in many places, including bus companies; and nobody will hesitate to take advantage of you if you are in need (without water on a hot day, without an internet connection, without a place to stay) many places will even have side-by-side prices for cambodians/foreigners, I've even had corner stores refuse to honour printed prices

also notable is that the price of the angkor wat has doubled, making it one of the worlds most expensive attractions; and drivers act as a cartel almost doubling prices getting to it

bottom line; Cambodia should be cheap, but often it isn't; and if you don't use US dollars this goes double

When is the best time to visit Cambodia?

The best time to visit Cambodia can be throughout the year, although October to April is the most popular thanks to the weather being most pleasant. Early summer is also a good option, although frequent rains and high temperatures can put a dampener on your plans. May to June is popular among those looking to enjoy viewing wildlife, as well as fewer crowds at the Angkor Wat temples. However, July to September should be avoided, as in most cases it rains for 2 to 3 days at a stretch.

How long will the visa be valid for in Cambodia?

The visa will be valid for one month from the date of visa issuance.

Are any vaccinations required before traveling to Cambodia?

Although no specific vaccinations are required for traveling to Cambodia, it is advisable to carry a strong mosquito repellant with you. The border of Thailand and Cambodia, when crossing via road, is susceptible to malaria-carrying mosquitoes.

It is advisable to have a guide, although it is not necessary. A guide, however, can definitely enrich the experience of a traveler.

Is it okay to drink tap water in Cambodia?

It is advisable to drink only mineral water from store-bought bottles since the tap water of the country is not always clean enough to drink.

What is the best way to travel across Cambodia?

For the faster commute, air travel is quite effective in Cambodia. However, for leisurely travels, it is appropriate to travel by road, enjoying the scenery.

What is the dress code for visiting the temples in Cambodia?

Try to cover your shoulders, and legs from the knee up. Avoid wearing skimpy outfits.

What are the documents required for a Cambodia Visa?

These are the documents required for a Cambodian Visa:

• For an e-visa, an online form needs to be filled and submitted, along with the fee.

For a traditional tourist visa, the following will be required:

• Original, signed passport valid for 6 months beyond stay in Cambodia, with at least one blank
• passport page available for the Cambodian visa stamp.
• One signed Cambodia visa application form plus one copy.
• One recent 2 x 2 passport type photograph, in color, front view and with a plain/light background.
• Computer-generated flight itinerary showing round trip travel to Cambodia and onward flight

Is visa on arrival available at Cambodia?

Visa on arrival is available for several nationalities, including Indians. However, their website offers the chance to apply for an e-visa online, which is an option tried out by many.

Can any other place be combined with Cambodia tour?

You may take some time to visit the nearby famous places of Vietnam. It is a great idea to combine Angkor Wat tour with your Cambodia trip.

Is it advisable to book the tickets for Angkor Wat a day before?

Angkor Wat is a popular tourist destination in Cambodia. It is highly recommended to book the tickets before one day as there is a huge queue in the morning.
