Cambodia 2018 Solo Traveler Budget

I am spending more in Southeast Asia than I had predicted, but I never say no to good food or activities! I may be living by the budget but I am not CHEAP. In Cambodia, I was doing pretty well until Siem Reap, Angkor screwed me.

Comparatively, housing, drinks, food, transportation, everything was more expensive in Cambodia than Vietnam but I actually spent less because I wasn’t moving around as much.

My biggest purchases were:

• Park pass for Angkor
• Accommodation, food, and transportation

Exact numbers:

Restaurants: $229.10
Housing: $161.10
Transit: $116
Entertainment: 102.75
Bills: $39
Transportation (tuk tuks): $38.25
Alcohol: $10.50
Water: $8.50
Clothing: $8
Shopping: $4
Cafe: $4
Internet: $4
Books: $1.50
Gifts: $1.35

My daily average was $34.67 and the grand total is $758.55. Seems to be the trend, about 35/day in SE Asia. I get shocked sometimes at how much I seem to be spending when everything is so cheap but…numbers don’t lie! I am currently volunteering in northern Thailand and so far my daily average for Thailand is about 10/day. Phew. 🙂
