Going on vacation always sounds like a good idea until you start thinking about your budget. It’s tough parting ways with a lot of cash and while trying to relax. For those who want to indulge in a little travel without breaking the bank, you can’t go wrong with a trip to Cambodia.

There’s never been a better time than now to visit thanks to the great currency exchange rate for foreigners. Believe us, a little goes a long way. AirAsia put together this infographic together to show us just how much THB1,000 can get you in Cambodia.

Let’s start with everyone’s favorite Cambodian city, Siem Reap. Spend a few nights here for the best access to the world’s most famous temple Angkor Wat for just THB640 per entrance fee. Worried about how to make your way to the UNESCO world heritage stunner? Hiring a personal tuk tuk for the entire day will set you back just THB640. Grab three of your friends and hit the temple before sunrise to have the full experience.

The palm tree-filled city is teeming with great bars and restaurants to keep you entertained before or after checking out Angkor Wat. When the sun goes down, make your way to Pub Street where drinks start at just THB15. If your feet are too tired for dancing after a day exploring the temple, head to a Khmer-style massage parlour for a foot massage. Fifteen minutes of bliss is just THB30.

If you want to check out Phnom Penh, the capital city has great attractions to for visitors stretching their Thai Bahts to the fullest. Score tickets to the National Museum for THB170 each or visit the majestic Grand Palace for THB200. A powerful and educational experience is to be had for those visiting Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, a heartbreaking cultural place to learn about Cambodia’s history. Entrance tickets to the museum are a mere TBH320.

All of the exploring is going to work up an appetite. Fill up on shabu shabu and a sushi buffet for only THB320 per person. Delicious eats have never been so affordable on holiday.
