quick visit

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

quick visit

Post by tightenupvolume1 »

Can i get by on £50 a day? am thinking of popping over for a couple of weeks to check it out and maybe come back for longer if i like it.
A nice hotel at first and then see what i think, so will £50 a day be enough for a hotel, a few beers, some food and maybe some "nice female company"

Not sure about the female company bit but otherwise you'll get by on USD 65 a day, no problem.

I'd say yes, of you get a cheap guesthouse (~£15-20). If you want ladies, then you definitely won't be able to get one every day, but I'm sure by being frugal you could get female company maybe twice per week. Maybe those more in the loop with such prices will chip in. If all toi want to do is unwind and walk around or sit and have a few cheap beers then it should be enough.

easy
$20-25/day room
$10-15/day eating
rest for drinking, motos,etc
ladies ( unless freelancers) u'll need pony up a few ladies drinks, bar fine and $20-50 ( 1 hour-all night)

The nice female company will love you for what you are portraying "another Cheap Charlie". Hope you don't get robbed on your first night over here. Save up a few more penny's and have a enjoyable holiday here.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

I too noticed a certain irony.

Edit: Not judging, just noticing the irony!

yeah $50 is plenty for a quick cheap holiday
its not a mongers budget though,
you need at least $45+ if taking a girl from the bar ($30 for the girl + $10 barfine + 1 drink for you both)
