Assuming most members still reside in Cambodia -

Why did you move there and, more importantly, what made you stay?

I doubt that one.

The last part of your question might not be of too much help to you to decide. People made their decision in the past (me, 2010) based on what was going on back then. Not sure if I would make the same decision today.
Cambodia has changed a lot over the last decade. To the good, for some, but it's worse, for others.

Don't base your decisions on online info. Come over, see, feel, taste, and decide.

Came for the honey, stayed for the money.

Or was it the other way around, I forget!

Came for the French school (our kid), stayed 3 years for the money, gone for the education of our kid.
Eating Indian food several times a week + the weed supply + the Angkor experience, all were awesome.
But we were 10 years in Indonesia before that, so, the exotic charm wasn't the original appeal to it, i've seen coconut trees before arriving there.

Came on a whim, stayed for the culture and history, women and craziness, left because of the heat, filth and corruption.

I came for the dental treatment.
I stayed because I walked onto Otres beach about 9 years ago and suddenly didn’t want to live anywhere else.

We moved over two months later.

I came for the weather and the weed. I stayed because it is just so damned comfortable living here.

Captain Renault:
What in heaven's name brought you to Cambodia?

Rick:
My health. I came to Cambodia for the waters.

Captain Renault:
The waters? What waters? We're in the desert.

Rick:
I was misinformed.
