Sure but not ideal if you want to be near a half decent hospital.

As of yesterday I've been walking 12 years past your deadline. A new body would be nice, but I'll settle for a new pair of flip-flops.

Life expectancy is an average. You were put here to compensate for all those barangs in their 20s and 30s who die of heart attacks in the Harmony Hotel.

I think we would all agree that abusing drugs and booze has at least a little something to do with that figure. Keep yourself fit and relatively sober and you have a fighting chance at a long life.

Did any of them leave a decent pair of size 44
flip-flops behind?

Why do you say that? Twenty or so years ago that may have been true, but not now. There are a number of very good services in Phnom Penh. Central Hospital is the best vale for money and provides among other things cardio - vascular related care including surgery, (stenting) etc.

Monitoring and treatment of Diabetes and Hypertension are fairly straight forward. As I noted on TOF, relating to Central Hospital:
"You can go in and confirm prices with ms. Geli, the admin manager, but the following is what I would expect. Consultation $20, diagnostic cardiac ultrasound and ECG around $50. Blood tests cost mostly between $1 and $2 each. You can discuss which you really need,it will probably be around four or five. Results for all blood tests are usually available within an hour" If you want a fasting blood sugar (diabetes) test its best to arrive in the morning having not consumed anything for 8 hours or so.

Emergency services are crap in PP or non existent. For the check up, fine, but the higher risk remains and the combination of humidity and heat is a killer. Not too many expats 75 and up here.

In Bulgaria you have mandatory health insurance for very very little money. It does not give you too much but then you can up it with an extra insurance at low cost. Legal security, visa security for US citizens, rents comparable, food same or cheaper. Beer better (after it's Europe). They do have ambulances and emergency services in the cities. 10% tax rate. No monkey business with cops. Many reasons why I think it makes sense and also makes sense when I apply a worst case scenario. My own plan is Bulgaria or a comparable place in Europe combined with long holidays in winter.

Personally, I can see myself jumping on the sidewalk at 70 just because I m in the way of a motorbike. The riverside park gets tired after a while. Hiking the mountains, sorry not here. Many other reasons. Not too much to do to fill up a day. Air pollution? Will get worse. I enjoy my time here while it lasts but I know I will be gone in the future. This is not a country for old men.

Yeah and their Slavic language in terms of difficulty surpasses the linguistic hardships of Khmer. Lo siento mucho Senor, but my plan B is Ecuador.

It has a variety of climatic zones. It's cheap, above average medical care and I could get residency on my paltry Social Security checks. But as for medical care, I've plan to buy insurance and pretend that I'm going to live forever. If Idie in Cambodia my written instructions are quite clear. 1). Shove a bone up my ass and 2) whistle for the dogs.

i guess you have registered your Koan Kot kids as US citizens born abroad?
you know their mother and the kids should get usa ss for a long time after you are gone.
it is a pretty simple process compared to some of the gov tomfoolery.
also- any kids you have in ecuador can get it too!

there are a few little cracks of humanitarianism in policy.
