The overall consumption level in Cambodia is generally low, but the consumption level in the capital Phnom Penh and the coastal city of Sihanoukville is high.
It is a fact that Cambodia is still one of the poorest countries. Although it has been promoted to a "low-and middle-income country" in recent years, 3% of its population still lives near the "near poverty" line.
prices in Cambodia can't be generalized, such as Siem Reap, which is dominated by tourism, but prices in the capital Phnom Penh and the coastal city of Sihanoukville have soared due to the influx of investment hot money, so you can experience the complete "Cambodia" prices in major supermarkets and restaurants.
Cambodia's national strength is weak, the overall economic level is low, and the consumption level should not be high either. Indeed, Cambodia has always been one of the poorest countries in Asia. Every year, a large amount of aid from Europe, America, China and other countries keeps flowing in.
At present, ordinary families in Cambodia generally have 5-1 children, so many children can't be raised, so they are completely "stocked" by their parents from the age of 3 or 4. In some scenic spots, these children chase tourists for tips and beg for candy, money, food and so on. These malnourished children are easy to arouse the sympathy of tourists, and they pay for them a little.
However, this country is really beyond imagination. It is said that the capital of a so-called poor country owns the most Rolls-Royce. Every day when you walk on the road or enter the underground garage of an office building, you feel that you are watching a famous auto show. Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Maibakh, Porsche and Land Rover can be seen from time to time, although the frequency of their appearance is not high.
