How Cambodia works as a nomad base
The nomad score leans hardest on affordability (45%) because cost is the lever remote workers feel monthly, then climate comfort (30%) and safety (25%). In Cambodia, Kampong Chhnang leads at 64/100 — cost 51, climate 71, safety 79; warmest-month highs around 29.8°C and coldest-month lows near 25.4°C give you a feel for the seasons. Kampong Chhnang is the pure-budget play at cost 51/100. Two practical factors sit outside the score — connectivity and visa/tax rules — so shortlist by these numbers, then verify internet quality and the current remote-work visa terms for Cambodia before booking anything long-term.
