Long, potentially pricey flight? Yes. But hear us out here. Once you arrive, you'll be spending very little day to day for incredible cultural, culinary, and adventure experiences . . . and oh boy, the history. Head north to Siem Reap to explore the Angkor Wat temples, with many options to stay in the town of Siem Reap on the cheap. Traveling domestically within the country is generally very affordable as well, whether by flight, private transfer, bus, or boats. Laze in a hammock on an island beach in Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem, kayak the river and explore pepper plantations in Kampot, and stuff your face with all the delicious street food that's wildly affordable.
