Tips in Cambodia

What are the usual prices, how do you tip in Cambodia, when is Cambodia holiday,...?

Prices

It will be a travel bargain coming to Cambodia because it is so cheap compared to Europe and other Asian countries.  The average daily cost of a trip to Cambodia would be around 33 dollars per day (135,257 KHR). Get more information about the prices here.

You can travel light as you can find everything at an attractive price here. Your first purchase will surely be an empty suitcase so you could pack it with all of your shopping! 

Tipping

As the average starting salary in Cambodia for service staff is around $100 USD per month, tips are greatly appreciated in restaurants, hotels and for tour guides.

You should tip only after receiving excellent service, not every time you purchase something.

Homestays

Get a glimpse into the real life of Cambodians by staying with local families. There are plenty of homestays across the country.

Staying in a homestay is a meaningful experience. You can immerse in local life, eat and sleep alongside your host family, see how they work and even join them. However, please note that the quality of accommodations can vary and go from wooden structures on stilts to upmarket villas equipped with western amenities. 

With host families, you can experience the real Cambodia away from tourist traps. For example, staying in the mountainous region of Mondulkiri can help you encounter many minority ethnicities. 

Plug outlets

In Cambodia, three types of plugs are used, type A, C, and G but most sockets are Type A, the one with two flat pins. In addition, Cambodia works on a 230V supply voltage with a frequency of 50Hz.

If you bring electronic appliances with different voltage, we do advise you to prepare an adapter. 

Before going further and choose the adapter you will pack for your trip, get more information here.
