Cost of traveling to Cambodia: what budget should you plan for your stay?

The daily budget varies significantly depending on your travel style. For a comfortable and well-organized trip, plan between €70 and €120 per person per day, all expenses included excluding airfare. Each expense item should be anticipated to fully enjoy your holidays in Cambodia without surprises.

Accommodation is one of the most flexible budget items when traveling in Cambodia. In Siem Reap, the gateway to Angkor's temples, you will find a selection ranging from charming guest houses from €15 per night to characterful resorts around €150 and more. In Phnom Penh, the capital, upscale hotels offer a premium level of service with rates generally between €60 and €200 per night. For a stay in Cambodia with family or as a couple, 3- and 4-star hotels often represent the best balance between comfort and budget control, with rates ranging between €30 and €80 per night.

The most common form of transport on the ground remains the tuk-tuk, ideal for short trips in Siem Reap or Phnom Penh, budget between €2 and €5 per ride. For intercity trips, the bus is a budget-friendly option (€5 to €15 per trip), while domestic flights, operated by several local airlines, allow you to reach the coasts more quickly. Regarding plane tickets from France, there are no direct flights available: plan between €700 and €1,000 in economy class for a round trip, depending on the airline and booking period. Booking 4 to 6 months in advance often gives access to the best fares.

Traveling in Cambodia also means allowing yourself to be seduced by generous and affordable gastronomy. A meal at a local restaurant typically costs between €3 and €6, while refined establishments that reinvent Cambodian cuisine with elegance sit between €15 and €30 per person. Street food, a must, lets you sample authentic specialties for under €2. For a gastronomic stay, several addresses in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap deserve special attention and can be included in your tailor-made itinerary.
