At kiwiincambodia and Jamie, the corn with sugar, sesame and coconut. The best taste of it when you use banana leaf to pack it and palm leaf as a spoon.

It must be the corn. What can I buy besides the corn?

Hey kiwiin. What happened that made you decide to never have a Khmer girlfriend again? Did your ex cut off your penis or something?

How many people here work in Cambodia and live off their income? I think the average salary is about $300 per month. Is that enough?

Hi SS, Well what a strange post...

Hey kiwiin. What happened that made you decide to never have a Khmer girlfriend again? Did your ex cut off your penis or something?

You sound concerned about this. Are you having fantasies that Khmer girls will cut your dick off or something ?

The average salary of who ? Most Cambodians earn less than $300 pm, but where did you get the idea that this is an "average" expat salary ??

You obviously need more info. Try the Q & A thread.

The "average" salary does not matter particularly much (It would rather be the "median" salary). The entry-level salary for unskilled labour is more interesting. How much would someone get for doing a job that does not require any skills at all and no experience whatsoever? What would come close to that description is the job of security guard. I think that this salary is around $100/month.

Actually, there is even a lower salary possible: How much would someone get for doing a job that does not require skills nor experience and they would recruit even women? cleaner or waiter/waitress. Salary $80/month.

With additional skills and experience, it goes up very fast. An experienced electrician or plumber would get $500+/month.

From a certain level of skills/experience level on, you will reach the global rates. You would make the same in Cambodia as anywhere else in the world. Example, what does an SAP FI/CO consultant make with 10 years of experience? around $1000/day or more, regardless of whether it concerns New York, London, Khartoum, or Phnom Penh. For places like Luanda it would be still more, because that rate contains a "hardship premium" that would not exist for Phnom Penh. These are gross rates. So, in net-after-taxes terms, the same person makes substantially more in Khartoum or Phnom Penh than in New York or London. In other words, in rich countries, at the bottom of the salary scale there are strong imports (immigration) but at the top of the salary scale there are strong exports (emigration). Indeed, who else built all those factories in China?

If you make less in Phnom Penh than back home, that would be a bit alarming, because it means that you do not have a skill set for which the payment rate is global. Changing location is not a good solution, because it would also be a job type that tends to get off-shored. You'd rather need to change job type ...

If you live in countryside or rural area, I think 300$ per month is enough. If you live in cities 500$ is survival. Most of my friends earn more than 800$ per month up to.
- a plate of food is around 5$
- a glass of cocktail is around 5$
- one house warming /wedding / birthday party is around 20$
- funeral/ ceremony is around 10-20$
And I don't include your health care coat.
