Touring my $400 Apartment in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Discover what it’s really like living in Phnom Penh, Cambodia 🇰🇭 — from apartment hunting to daily life, costs, and the reality of expat living in Southeast Asia. After arriving in Phnom Penh in December, I spent weeks staying in hotels across Riverside and BKK1, BKK2, and BKK3 before finally settling in Tonle Bassac—my favorite neighborhood in the city. In this video, I take you inside my $400/month studio apartment and share an honest, detailed breakdown of the cost of living, rental process, and what you can expect when moving here in 2025. From flexible lease negotiations (rare in Cambodia!) to rooftop pools, gym access, and surprisingly spacious condos, this is a real look at what your money gets you. I also cover the pros and cons—from quiet, friendly neighborhoods and great walkability to weaker internet and shared rooftop quirks. If you’re considering moving to Cambodia, becoming a digital nomad, or just curious about life in Phnom Penh, this guide will give you practical insights you won’t find in typical travel videos. ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 Intro & why I chose Tonle Bassac 0:45 Apartment hunting & rental prices ($300–$800) 1:06 Lease terms & monthly costs breakdown 2:15 Full apartment tour 5:30 Balcony & sunlight views 5:56 Rooftop gym & pool 9:28 Why I chose this studio 11:02 Living experience & neighborhood vibe 14:42 Internet & utilities reality 16:24 What to check before renting 20:12 Daily routine & rooftop life 23:18 Final thoughts before moving on 👍 If you found this helpful, hit like and subscribe for more real, unfiltered travel and expat life content.
