The dream of going abroad is no longer limited only to the rich. Today, middle class youth are also looking for new countries for studies and jobs. In this search, a name is emerging rapidly: Cambodia.
Currently the value of 1 Indian Rupee is around 42.10 Cambodian Riel. That means, if you have 1 lakh rupees in India, then as soon as you reach Cambodia, this amount becomes equal to about 42 lakh riyals. This figure sounds shocking, but due to this, Cambodia is becoming an affordable country for education and job.

In cities like the capital Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, the cost of rent, local transport and food is not much higher than Indian cities. In such a situation, Indian students and working youth can live comfortably here with their savings. While in Europe, America or Australia lakhs of rupees are spent every month, in Cambodia a good life is possible even with a limited budget.
