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.

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

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

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

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $114/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

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

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.
