The $5 Challenge in Phnom Penh - Cost of Living in Cambodia

How much can you do for $5, which is 20,000 Cambodian riel in Phnom Penh, Cambodia? The answer is A LOT. Follow me as I make my way through the city of Phnom Penh as I spend an entire day on just $5. You'll be amazed at how far $5 will take you in Phnom Penh, Cambodia! The cost of living in Cambodia is much lower than places in the West, such as America, Canada, the UK, Europe, and Australia. Let me show you! Enjoy my $5 challenge!

Playground across from Wat Phnom brought me back a lot of memories back to the early 60s as my parent brought us to play there all the time. The fruit bats on the trees were also there then with some wild monkeys playing around. Your exercise at the riverfront is killing me as I'm watching you. PP City was so peaceful then before the civil war started in 1970 with a few cars and a lot of mopeds and bicycles. I had to leave the country after surviving the genocide in late 1979 but most of my family members did not survive. I've returned to visit the country every year for the last ten years since my retirement and I agreed with you the US has become very expensive to live. I'll return in a few months to see my only surviving sister who still lives there. Thanks for sharing this to the world about Cambodia as the country has changed so much since I left. Happy travels and stay safe from Minnesota!

[@SecondLifeTravels1]

Oh yes, they fly all over old town.,including Wat Phnom.

[@unknown-user1.0]

@@SecondLifeTravels1 seeing wild animals were cool but also sad at the same time because it must be a reason why they flew all the way from forest to city
