Cost of Living in Phnom Penh

Aaronlee · Post by **Aaronlee** » Tue Apr 19, 2016 12:12 pm

I'm curious about monthly expenses. Rent, food, utility's, phone. I'm hoping to find a place in the range of 250-300 for rent. But unsure of the others. Any help would be appreciated

Where are you planning to live ? Prices vary. In general, life is more expensive in PP - COL is higher and there's more to spend your money on.

How much will you use the a/c? Electricity is expensive.

Eat like a Westerner or like a local? The latter is much cheaper...

And so on.

The general rule is people's expenditure expands to accommodate their earnings. Live like a peasant or live like a lord. It's up to you.

I plan to live in PP eat locally. i prefer an area with less expats the better not into partying all the time.i would like to be close to a market. I'm fine with eating some sort of meat and rice everyday, and fruit. For transportation I plan on getting a bicycle. Do I need 3G on a phone or is wifi everywhere?

Wifi is everywhere coffee is sold. The coffee is far more expensive than the 3g/4g service.

Absolute minimums, unless you're some kind of ascetic who likes being uncomfortable and bored:

Monthlies:

Rent 100
Utilities 30
3g/4g 5

Weeklies:
Household /groceries 50
Entertainment 50

Dailies:
Bicycle parking 500r x number of times you park somewhere
Breakfast 6,000r
Lunch 10,000r
Dinner 10,000r

Could eat cheaper, but if you want any kind of variety, be prepared to pay more/travel further

To know any other costs, kinda need to know what you're going to 'do' here.

I'll be teaching. So I figure 1000 a month plus savings. I'll be picking up a moto from Vietnam and driving back. So I plan on taking some trips around the country side. I really want to see how the Khmer people live in the country. And I love to fish.
