Theang RathanaFlights to Cambodia: Budget Guide
Cambodia is one of the cheapest countries in Southeast Asia to backpack, and flights here are more affordable than you'd expect if you route through the right hub. A full month — flights, dorms, food, temples — comes in around $900.
30-day Cambodia budget
At about $20/day on the ground, Cambodia is absurdly cheap. A dorm bed runs $4–6, a street meal is $1–2, and even Angkor Wat's $37 day pass feels reasonable when everything else costs pocket change. Check our cost index for the full breakdown.
Flights to Cambodia from your city
There's no such thing as a cheap direct flight to Cambodia from the West — you're connecting through Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, or Singapore regardless. The move is to book the long-haul to BKK or KUL separately, then grab a $50–80 AirAsia or Cambodia Angkor Air hop to Phnom Penh or Siem Reap.
