Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, has been named the most budget-friendly city in Asia for New Year’s Eve celebrations, according to recent data from the digital travel platform Agoda.

This ranking comes as a pleasant surprise for travelers in search of an exciting yet affordable way to welcome the new year. Agoda’s research shows that accommodations in Phnom Penh are much more affordable compared to those in other popular Asian capitals during this busy season.

While well-known cities like Tokyo and Seoul can be quite pricey, Phnom Penh offers visitors the chance to enjoy vibrant festivities without overspending. This affordability, along with the city’s rich history, growing culinary scene, and the warmth of Khmer hospitality, makes Phnom Penh an increasingly appealing choice for those wanting to celebrate the new year in a unique and memorable way.
