Cambodia - Budget


Cambodia is a relatively cheap country to travel, though it is not as cheap as its neighbors. We spent on average 35 Euros per person per day. True, since Cambodia was the last country we visited during this Round The World Trip, we treated ourselves to better hotels and hardly ever ate at the markets as we used to do in other countries.

We spent on average 16 Euros per night on accommodation, for nice double rooms with air-conditioning. In Siem Reap, our absolute favorite, the Golden Banana Hotel, even had a pool, which provided a very pleasant refreshment after visiting temples for hours.

We spent 13 Euros per day and person on food and drinks, almost exclusively in the pricier tourist restaurants. Finally, entrance fees, transport and tours are expensive, especially in the Angkor Area. For this, we spent altogether 130 Euros per person in two weeks.

Since distances are short, overland travel is extremely cheap, except of course if you decide to fly...
