Will I save money living in Phnom Penh?
We asked expats if they save money living in Phnom Penh. They said...
"Yes, you are likely to save money living in Phnom Penh compared to the United States. The cost of living in Cambodia is significantly lower than in the United States. This includes expenses such as rent, groceries, dining out, and transportation. Healthcare is also generally cheaper, although the quality and availability of services may not be as high as in the United States. However, it's important to note that while the cost of living is lower, salaries in Cambodia are also typically lower than in the United States. Therefore, if you're earning a local salary, your purchasing power may not be as high. But if you're earning an income from abroad or have savings, you could potentially save a significant amount of money," commented one expat who made the move to Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
