According to reports, working all day in Yantian, the salary is only from 15,000 to 30,000 Riel, which is about 27 to 54 Yuan. The work heavily depends on the weather, making it even harder to earn during the rainy season. The non-rainy season is also tough, with outdoor temperatures sometimes exceeding 40 degrees in April and May. Despite these efforts, this is just the cost of a bowl of ordinary fried rice for foreigners or wealthy locals, which can be found across the river, a 30-minute bike ride away.
