1: I didn't fly directly from China to Cambodia, but first went to Bangkok for two days, and then flew from Bangkok to Siem Reap (Cambodia) Angkor Airport landing, landing visa I gave 30 US dollars, I have already exchanged US dollars in advance in Bangkok, Thailand, in Cambodia local US dollars can be used together with the local currency, I personally think that the exchange rate in Bangkok, Thailand is not bad, but the reverse exchange is not necessarily, after the Angkor Airport came out, with most of the tourists, the scene is spectacular, because there are very many tourists.

2: Back to the topic, after landing at Angkor Airport, I remember seeing a tourist from Europe and the United States who was also applying for a visa on arrival, and then the information of the visa on arrival on the plane will be sent to everyone by the flight attendant, and it is best to give US dollars when handing over their passports, because which European and American tourists give Thai baht is converted to 45 US dollars, and will not find you change is equal to giving an extra 15 US dollars, so in Cambodia does not pit Chinese, it is equal to pit everyone, no matter which country you are from.
3: When I paid for the landing visa, people said to 1000 baht, I said I don't have baht, only US dollars, just give 30 US dollars, after paying the passport on the side quietly waiting, after 5 minutes, the customs quietly told me that the information is not right, she wants to help me fill in and use a mosquito-like voice to say tip, I can't take out 1 dollar from my pocket to her, and I don't want to cause trouble, but she actually doesn't want to be less, or to stamp out of the country, haha.
4: In Siem Reap, Cambodia, you can use Alipay WeChat to exchange money, there is a Chinese restaurant opened by Chinese in the local area, you can exchange money inside, you can use Alipay WeChat to change, I remember that I used 100 US dollars to exchange RMB exchange rate is 7 o'clock, if you don't bring a card or ID card in the local area, it doesn't matter, this point does not look at these, I also asked a lot of tour groups in the local area, they all said that Alipay can not exchange money, but I found it.

5: The American knife is better than the local currency of Cambodia, if you want to lie flat don't come to Cambodia here is not suitable for you, a country that has not even used its own local money, in Cambodia the local American knife and local money (riel) are universal, 1 American knife can probably be exchanged for 4000 riel, go to buy things for others 5 U.S. knife, actually found me 25000 riel, directly blindfolded me will not calculate the exchange rate, of course, although the U.S. knife is easy to use locally, but it can not be a little damaged or look very shabby, otherwise people will not accept it.
6: I just paid the money for the landing visa on the first day I bought a phone card, and there were 30 US dollars left on my body, which was not enough to eat and stay in the local area, and I was cheeky and asked one by one on the street if I could exchange some money, but fortunately I found a small shop and exchanged 100 US dollars, otherwise I would have to sleep on the road.
7: Cambodia's infrastructure is slightly better than Laos next door, pay attention to just a good loss, the local toto car price is 1 US knife can go, toto car is the rural electric tricycle, this everyone should have seen, the kind of car that pulls crops in the countryside.
8: Cambodia's wealth gap is larger than that of Laos next door, only 17 cars are sold in Phnom Penh, and there are not as many places to play as Thailand, but one thing is better than Thailand, and the tourists from Northern Europe here are really handsome, tall and handsome, and I don't know if I was a nymphomaniac.
9: Cambodia's roadside stalls I personally think more expensive, many roadside stalls of fast food rice starting price is between 2 US dollars - 5 US dollars, and RMB 15-37 yuan, but also let us pay US dollars, this is more expensive than the second and third tier cities in China, in the domestic roadside stalls to buy a stinky tofu is only 6 yuan, buy a fried rice is only 5 yuan, cold noodles and cold skin is only 6 yuan are very easy things, Cambodian local people's monthly income is less than 1000 yuan, if there are tourists to consume, where do the locals consume.
10: Cambodia's local hostel to 50 yuan, the café on the first floor of the hostel is not bad, the roof also has a swimming pool, Cambodia's spirit is particularly many, not afraid of your jokes at night I go out to walk 1 km at least can meet 5 people walking next to me teenagers, screaming at me and I don't understand what to say.
11: If you ask me what delicious food Cambodia has, then I tell you that it is a desert of food, the local dishes that can enter your eyes are either flour or flour, and a variety of ice cream roll milkshakes that I have not eaten or seen, I have eaten the only one that I have said in the past, it is not in the tourist area I saw on Google Maps, I took a toto car to go over, when I went in to eat I and my friend 2 foreigners, the others are locals, including the toto car driver who sent me, also came in to eat, the owner of the store does not speak English or Chinese, relying on two hands to compare for 10 minutes before ordering a good dish, at first the boss directly gave a lot of vegetables, and then on a roast beef, very pleasantly surprised, and a bowl of beef trotter soup, which gave beef like no money, can't eat it all, we won't get seasoning, or the boss helped to get it.
The menus in the small shop are all in local characters that you can't read, and you can only order food by gesticulating.
Roast beef tastes very fragrant, just give so many vegetables to eat, I really can't understand, just like this raw vegetables, dip a little sauce to eat raw, I am not Xi used to eating, in the country vegetables are fried to eat, how can there be raw food.
12: I found a fun thing at the door of a bank in Cambodia, but I don't know what it is, it looks a bit like a domestic stone lion, that is, a stone lion placed in front of many people's doors, but I found that it doesn't seem to be a stone lion, how can the lion's tail go up, is there a friend who has been in Cambodia for many years, what is this?
I don't know what it's called
13: Cambodia is one of the more than 10 countries I have been to, the income and prices are outrageous countries, the local income is only a thousand yuan, not as good as a fraction of the Chinese, but the price is higher than Japan, in a local look like a small restaurant to eat, you order a small dish for 10 US dollars, or the cheapest dish, supermarkets and small shops are also expensive, I also said before that Uruguay's monthly income is only more than 3,000, the price level is the same as that of European and American countries, I came to Cambodia and found that it was really a small thing.

14: For the low local income and high prices, I also asked a lot of people, and they told me that because the system that tourists are in contact with and the local people live in is different, the locals buy food and go to the very small stalls on the street, and most of the tourists who come to travel will not go, and generally go to slightly better restaurants, this kind of stalls are charged with local currency, the price is cheap, and the good restaurants are all American knives, and the price is very expensive.
15: In 2019, my brother-in-law went to Siem Reap (Angkor Wat) in Cambodia, and the roadside stall fried rice was only 2,500 riel, which seemed to be only 0.7 US dollars, and the seafood fried rice was only 2 US dollars, and it was only 2,500 riel to buy Coke, but when I went to the restaurant to eat, the cheapest dish was 7 US dollars, and he asked the tour guide at the time, even if they went to eat stir-fried vegetables, they were looking for that kind of local restaurant, usually a few small tables and small benches on the side of the road, and a small cart began to open a restaurant The nobility consumed, and our countrymen used to be Xi going to those places, after all, the country was relatively very volatile.
Now that 5 years have passed, local prices in Cambodia have already risen a lot.
