I always use USD for everything in cambodia from hotel , paying tuktuk to paying wLs. In cambodia we usually take it as usd1 = 4000 riels.
Of course from money changers, we get slightly more then 4000 riels to usd1. But i think most people dont bother to change usd to riels. In cambodia we must hv small change as those tuktuks etc wilĺ always say they got no small change.
In cambodia everything must bargain just like singapore 45 yrs ago. My friend just bought a bag at usd16, bargain down fm usd25. One yr ago, fm pp airport to sihanok i took a cab usd60, bargain down fm usd120. I know it shld be usd 50, but nvm let him earn. In fact taximan get only usd40.
Cheers to yr cheong in asia and those cowboy towns.
