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 Colombia?
Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $97/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

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

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.
