What budget to travel to Cambodia?

Estimates in Cambodia

You certainly know, South Asia is a region renowned for its very low cost of living. But what is it if you wish? visit Cambodia ? How much do you plan for a 2-week trip? Here are our tips to plan your stay at best.

The flight ticket : For a Paris-Phnom Penh or Paris-Siem Reap flight, there are about 900 euros, all year round. Of course, prices can increase in high season (July and August in France) and if you take it at the last minute. The best thing is to fly to Bangkok, which is much cheaper, and then to Cambodia.

food : If you want to discover the street food and eat local, know that typical Cambodian dishes do not cost more than $4, and if you eat them in places rather touristic. We find excellent addresses for at most $2. The stalls are not necessarily the most adventurous, but food is often very good!

The housing : In Cambodia, there are for all budgets! From the guesthouse to the 5-star hotel, you choose. Cities like Siem Reap , Battambang and Phnom Penh offer very correct hotels or guesthouses for less than $20 (about 18 euros) at night for two people. If you want to limit your expenses to the maximum, you can also find nights at $5!

♪ activities As Cambodia is a country with a large share of GDP on emerging tourism, excursions are really not given compared to the overall standard of living. One day in the park of Angkor will cost you $20, a trip to the floating village as much. But these are the essentials during a stay in Cambodia, so it is better to plan its budget accordingly.

There are also cheaper activities of course, such as the Royal Palace of Phnom Penh, which costs about $6, or the National Museum, at $5. The markets, a place of life typically Cambodian, are completely free!

♪ Transport : To travel to the country, it is the bus that must be preferred. A journey between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, the main axis of the country, will cost you 7$ by economic bus and 15$ by “luxury” bus. In the cities, the nicest thing is to borrow tuk-tuks, but you will have to negotiate! In general, it takes $2 for a trip to the city. If you want to save, rent a bike , it costs about $2 a day!

Good trip to Cambodia!
