In which ways, can I make the best of my money?

There are many things to love about travelling in Asia.

Usually, the weather is warm, the people are too and the food is delicious. And for most travellers - things are cheap.

As citizens of the world, it's important though not to get carried away with the 'cheapness' of everything and to keep in mind a sense of generosity with the local people you meet.

What might not be a lot of money to you, might be everything to someone else, so don't get too caught up about the odd dollar here or there!

To help you be street smart about your cash, get your head around the currency and make the most of your travelling budget, here are 10 Money Tips for Cambodia.
