Why is the consumption in Cambodia so high?

Due to the influx of investment hot money, housing prices in the capital Phnom Penh and the coastal city of Sihanoukville soared.

Prices in Cambodia can be said to be polarized. For example, in the city center, prices are particularly high and consumption is high. In a developing place like Siem Reap, prices are not high and consumption is naturally not high.

In fact, Cambodia is still one of the poorest countries. Although it has been promoted to a "low-and middle-income country" in recent years, 30% of the population still lives near the "near poverty" line.

Cultural clothing

Being located in the tropics, Cambodian people's clothes are very thin. Their national casual wear is that men wear straight-necked and multi-buttoned tops, and they don't wear tops when the weather is hot, but only "sarong" or "Mountain Park". "Sarong" is made of several feet of cloth, with various beautiful patterns sewn on both sides and tied around the waist, which looks like a skirt.

"Shanpu" is a long piece of cloth, which goes from the waist down to the calf without sewing, and then passes through the crotch, tied tightly around the waist at the back, and the rest sticks out like a fish tail. Women's casual shirts are mostly silk short-sleeved round neck double-breasted shirts, and the lower body also wears "sarong" or "Mountain Park". Usually, they have to wrap a long cloth towel with a beautiful pattern around their waist.
