Re: Moving from Thailand to Cambodia

I've lived and worked in Thailand for 10 years but recently I've become so tired of their pretentious culture and the swathes of know-it-all expats and posers. Has anyone ever been in this position and decided to move to Cambodia? How did it go? I've visited Phnom Penh regularly since probably 2018...

Re: Tourist Traps

Tricky question. Almost everything in Kampot feels like a tourist trap. 555 - I was earlier thinking about posting similar sentiments with regard to Kampot. :D 7/11 is good though, never fucks you over with the prices. However, I can't agree about 7-11. Sure the prices are fixed, but as it's not lo...

Re: Braless white women

As they say, "location, location, location"... Cambodia is in the tropics, which "...receive sunlight that is more direct than the rest of Earth and are generally hotter and wetter as they aren't affected as much by the solar seasons." https://cdn.britannica.com/40/89940-050-37DF...

Re: Old Swiss francs exchange in Phnom Penh

At that exchange rate I would also have gladly bought the francs from you. Pity you didn't ask here in the forum.. Yes, I was perhaps too hasty, but the amount wasn't large (CHF 240) and my time in Phnom Penh is limited, so I jumped at the chance to get rid of them and mark it off on my to-do list....

Old Swiss francs exchange in Phnom Penh

I saw it mentioned somewhere on this forum a while back that there are a couple currency exchanges in PP that will exchange old series Swiss francs but cannot find it now.

Does anyone have any leads on their location.

Any help appreciated. Cheers 👍
