Greetings, noob here. I'm curious to know what would be a livable salary in Siem Reap. I'm a certified math teacher in NYC and I'm strongly considering accepting a job at an International School. How much money would it take to live comfortably? What is a good salary and benefits package to expect?

Thanks in advance for your reply!
