Cheap rent in Cambodia is causing expats to move to Phnom Penh. But the lower cost of living can put a tax on your lifestyle.
In this video, I take you on a tour of the vibrant BKK3 neighborhood in Phnom Penh, Cambodia where I've been renting an apartment for only $300/month. Join me as I explore the realities of living in this "Big Dirty City," a term I use to describe Phnom Penh and its bustling streets, much like Manila and Jakarta.
While the city is full of life—morning markets bursting with color and activity—there's a stark contrast to the romanticized images often portrayed in travel photography. I'll share my firsthand experiences navigating the chaotic streets, where sidewalks are scarce and the mix of tuk tuks, motorbikes, and street food carts creates a challenging environment for even the most adventurous walker.
Despite its rough edges, Phnom Penh offers an incredibly low cost of living and endless opportunities for adventure. If you're considering a move or just curious about life in Southeast Asia, this video provides an honest look at the ups and downs of living in this fascinating city.
