Overview
Cambodia is one of Southeast Asia's most affordable destinations, with street food, local guesthouses, and tuk-tuks keeping daily costs very low for budget travelers. The main cost driver is sightseeing, particularly the Angkor Wat temple complex near Siem Reap, which requires a separate multi-day pass starting at $37 USD. Phnom Penh and coastal areas like Sihanoukville offer a wide range of options, though beach towns have seen rising prices in recent years.
Notes
Buy a multi-day Angkor pass (3-day for $62) instead of single-entry tickets if you plan to visit more than one day, and eat at local markets and riverside stalls where full meals cost under $2 to significantly stretch your daily budget.
