Planning to go backpacking in Cambodia? Trying to plan your daily budget? Why not ask someone who’s there NOW! Working out a daily budget can be difficult when you’ve never been there before, while the guide books can help out they’re not always right or up to date.
The best way to plan your daily Cambodia budget is to look what others are spending there TODAY, people just like you and who might want a beer or two with lunch, to take a Moto taxi instead of walking or just want a bit of air con in their guest house.
Our daily budget for Cambodia reflects what most backpackers will spend and where most of them will splurge.
Daily Cambodia budget:
Sleep:
- Room (Private bungalow, fan) – $7 – $10
- Room (Private room, fan, hot water, TV) – $10 – $15

Great breakdown of costs for Cambodia. I’ve found it to be one of the better value countries in the region; however, you are certainly right when you say Siem Reap isn’t cheap!

Yeah for sure… The Siam Reap tax. I wouldn’t say it’s “expensive” but it’s certainly not as cheap as the rest of Cambodia!
