The cost of living in Siem Reap, cambodia
Perhaps the best part of Siem Reap for potential expats or long-term visitors is that it’s very cheap, even by local standards. If you are looking for an apartment you can find something quite nice starting around US$200 per month, and not much more for a house.
At the tourist restaurants you can eat a full meal for under US$2, although there will always be menu items in the $3 and $4 range as well. For those who like a frosty glass of beer to wash down their meal, you’ll be happy to know that Angkor Beer, which is the ubiquitous local lager, is on a happy hour special for exactly 50 cents per glass at almost every restaurant or bar in town. Other options are available and the prices do tend to jump up quite a bit for many of them, so the Angkor Beer seems to be the beverage of choice for nearly everyone in town.
