Fresh Coconut in Siem Reap costs USD 0.5–1 where residents buy it, and USD 1–2 in the parts of the city built around visitors. That is roughly 100% more at the top end, or about USD 1.5 lost on a single purchase if you happen to buy at the worst place on the worst street. These figures were last reviewed in October 2026.
The gap here is a location gap, not a quality gap. Kitchens in Siem Reap buy from the same suppliers; what changes is whether you are sitting somewhere with foot traffic worth paying for.
Treat USD 1 as the ceiling for a fair price in Siem Reap, with USD 1 as the everyday midpoint. Quotes at USD 2 are not scams in any legal sense — they are simply priced for someone who will not check.
For context inside Siem Reap itself: of the 7 things we price here, amok carries the widest visitor markup (USD 3–5 locally against USD 5–10), while angkor day pass is priced most consistently across the city. Fresh Coconut sits closer to the problem end of that scale, so it is worth checking before you buy.
None of this is unique to Siem Reap — it is how pricing works across most of Cambodia — but the size of the gap is local, and it is large enough here to be worth thirty seconds of attention before you hand over money.
