Been thinking about visiting Cambodia and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to the Philippines?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $56/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.
