6 live collabsTour operators and hostels across Cambodia — every brand running a creator program right now.
Cambodia is a goldmine for creators who can balance high-energy travel content with a bit of cultural storytelling. Right now, there are 6 active opportunities across Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, ranging from social-first hostel takeovers to full-day excursion features. If you are already planning a route through Southeast Asia, these spots are perfect for keeping your production budget lean.
You’ll mostly be looking at trade-based collaborations here. Brands like Mad Monkey Hostels are big on content exchange, offering stays and activities in return for high-quality Reels or TikToks. If you’re into more curated experiences, operators like Actuality Abroad and Mango Taxi look for creators who can document the logistics of getting around. It is a no-nonsense market: deliver the agreed-upon assets, keep your aesthetic consistent, and you’ll have a much easier time negotiating paid projects once you’ve built a track record with them.
Most entry-level opportunities in Cambodia are trade-based, meaning you get free stays, tours, or transport in exchange for content. Once you establish a relationship with a brand, paid rates become a realistic ask.
Not necessarily. These brands value engagement and high-quality video production over raw follower counts. If your portfolio shows you can drive interest in a destination, you have a solid shot.
Think short-form video. Mad Monkey wants fun, high-energy hostel vibes, while tour operators like Actuality Abroad and Mango Taxi want clean, informative content that helps potential customers visualize their trip.
Apply at least 3-4 weeks before your arrival. These brands like to plan their content schedules in advance, and reaching out early shows you are organized and serious about the partnership.
Absolutely. It’s common practice to hit up a hostel in Siem Reap and a transport partner in Phnom Penh on the same trip. Just be transparent with each brand about your itinerary so they know you’re managing your time well.
