budget

Its certainly possible, but would you go and visit Paris, for example, and eat around outside carts? Probably not, but either way, you could feasibly stay in Phnom Penh with that budget, and have a laugh. Local restaurants serve cheap enough food, and a jug of beer is only 7000 riel. Try and get out with some motodops, you'll have a good time, you'll get to talk to some locals and it wont cost much.

#6 we're not all flashpackers in here! Those hotels i stayed in were clean, friendly places, cheap and cheerful, and there was nothing wrong with most of them considering the price we paid!

And as for the comments about the diet and the food, the food was delicious. We ate at markets or food stalls, or noodle shops. At the markets you could fill up a plate of yummy food for $1/2...great stuff!!!

You don't have to spend a fortune to live like a king!!!!!! Good food, a place to sleep, some beer....the simple life!

"You don't have to spend a fortune to live like a king!!!!!! Good food, a place to sleep, some beer....the simple life!"

What do you want? To live like a King or the simple life?
They're not the same.

I like living the simple life too, but it aint like a King.
Your comprehension of English is below satisfactory.

You are such a PLONKER grooger! I hate your type.

You are such a TOOL!!!!! Do you have to take eveything exactly as it is said??? I mean that you can live a very comfortable life on that budget, OBVIOUSLY you can't live like a king, who can afford that??? It's a term of phrase!!

And while we're on the topic of English, "aint" is spelt incorrectly and is not good English. It should read "ain't". If you want your English to be at an above satisfactory level, then you should not use colloquialisms like you have above. To quote from wikipedia:

<blockquote>Quote
<hr>Ain’t is a contraction originally just for “am not”, but can include “is not”, “are not”, “has not”, or “have not” in the common vernacular. In some dialects it is also used incorrectly as a contraction of “do not”, “does not”, and “did not”, as in I ain’t know that. The word is a perennial issue in English usage.<hr></blockquote>

OP, plan to spend more in SR and around Angkor than in PP and anywhere else in the country. Even apart from admission costs and transport, prices there are considerably higher than elsewhere.

Sorry Grooger I agree with Paddy.

But also you quote is from Harvey Danger the song is Flag Pole Sitter.

Sorry if you are going to pick on someone's English, you might want to make sure your quote is credited to the right source.

thank you, thank you! :)

Blink182 said it at a party and was overheard by Harvey Danger who wrote it into a song.

And paddyfudgepacker, the term living like a King is usually in the context of "living like a millionaire". They don't stay at $5 places. That was my point.

Hey now grooger i can have you reported for that homophobic type remark there!!!!!!!! And not that it matters, i am female!

And as for "living like a king" can be interpreted however you like it to be. Obviously being a BACKPACKER you wouldn't be living like a millionaire! But you can live a very comfortable life!!

Ladies ladies! Put those handbags down. You're supposed to be giving people advice.
