Can't make decent pie without it, the ones here they make with marg and they all taste like shit because of it.
Decent quality tools, fittings, components etc. Something like Screwfix back in the UK.
Also car parts that aren't Vietnamese or Chinese shit.
Computer hardware that's not a year out of date. Plus some sort of selection.
Furniture. See car parts.
I have a long list.
I dunno bout car parts or tools but furniture is expensive, i saw one barang in SR was trying to sell a stained sofa with holes in it for a few hundred dollars.

The good news - you can get decent pies in Phnom Penh.phrammoianchor wrote:

The bad news - you couldn't afford them as they cost more than pot noodles.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

There have been quite a few people who have done that already. If you had come here around 2009 or so, you would have smoked some good weed and at very affordable prices. About $8 a bag stuffed full of heads. Or even top notch stuff for around $3 or 4 per gram. Unfortunately, as soon as the foreigners backs were turned (prison etc) they seem to have gone back to their old ways. Joe was also saying that the Chinese were/ are growing a lot of hemp here now and the genetics were mixing with the smokables and f'ing it all up.prettyvacant wrote: ↑Sun Feb 12, 2017 11:48 pm Top quality grass?
Not sure if it would benefit the local population straight away. But if one taught a local to grow top genetics, weed out the males, harvest at the right time and dry the stuff properly, top profit would ensue.

The taste? I would assume that Angkor has three prominent chemicals, whilst Anchor has only two. It's as if you drink them so quickly that you don't leave them enough time to get warm and flavorsome.
Street food and beer are not two of Cambodia's strong points.

What do you ''assume '' these chemicals are ?
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
