As Andy & Jamie said, the budget can vary massively.

A backpacker would probably budget around $30 per day (Dorm), 'flashpacker' may go up to $50 (cheap private room). (obviously without company). With western meals each day and a better hotel raise that to $75-$100.

If you are looking for some company then I would budget for no less than $100 per day.

Unless it's had a seismic change in the entertainment scene in the last decade, if I was facing the prospect of a year in Battambang I'd probably blow a fortune in PP in a month and spend the year working off the hangover.
Yes sir, I can boogie, I can boogie, boogie, boogie all night long.
