Cambodia's official currency is the riel. However, American dollars are widely accepted, and Thai baht is also used in the western part of the country. The current exchange rate is 1 dollar to 4090 riels. That means a taxi ride could cost 20,000 riels. Foreign currency always feels like Monopoly money. It's colorful, has a weird texture, and goes a long way - especially since I am a Mediterranean Ave. kind of girl.
