Moving to Cambodia tips and questions
Re: Moving to Cambodia tips and questions
Thanks all. Not to be rude but I'm not looking for advice on why not to move to Cambodia. Ive read enough of those threads and posts.
There are a lot of assumptions here that I will correct. I will be putting my kids in an international school and not home schooling. I have been to Cambodia and southeast Asia numerous times so have a good idea of what to expect. I'm not going in blindly.
I'm looking for some tips and advice to make sure I'm not missing anything in our planning. As I've only visited, I'm sure many of you who have made the move can offer helpful tips o the move.
Thanks

Re: Moving to Cambodia tips and questions
There are folks on here that just want to know why someone asks certain questions instead of helping in answering the questions. My guess is that they have nothing better to do or they just want to make negative comments. Best to do what you did and just ignore them.

I'm moving there for work and will stay a few years at least if that helps.

Re: Moving to Cambodia tips and questions
There are a few very good schools here...Northbridge, ISPP, Logos (if you don't mind religious schools) CIA, CIS, maybe Southbridge
Can't say the same for universities, a few have decent partnership-programme degrees, but still in developmental stages

Re: Moving to Cambodia tips and questions
Northridge ( i looked at it for my daughter) is the only worthwhile international school BUT at $12-16,000/year it is far from Cheap
Universities,ur looking at sending them to bangkok or back to your home country
Northridge has some very nice homes on campus as well at around $2-2,500/month
As far as what to bring, as little as possible, personal items. everything else can be brought locally or fly to bangkok for a weekend and buy whatever u cant find in PP.

Re: Moving to Cambodia tips and questions
Sorry I meant to reply to this a while ago. I don't know why anyone would say cooking appliances here are expensive as they are very cheap. If you are a professional chef and want specific items there may be a problem. Good quality stainless steel cooking pots with laminated bases are available at around $10 like the one below.canabodia wrote: ↑Sat Mar 10, 2018 8:31 pm I'm moving to Phnom Penh this summer with my wife and 3 kids ages 7,9 and 11. We are starting to figure out what we are going to keep in storage, sell or bring with us. So a few questions for now but I'm sure many more to come.
- a friend living in Phnom Penh told us that if we have a favorite pot or pan to bring it as they are expensive there.
Heavy duty teflon coated fry pans at around $15. Check following link: http://www.cambodiakitchenequipment.com ... &id=&lg=en
If you want more specific equipment such as paella dishes Guang hong supplies them very cheap http://www.cambodiakitchenequipment.com ... d=40&lg=en
However really top notch cooking knives seem to be hard to come by. If you have some particularly favourite knives, Shun for example I would bring those. Having said that there are extremely good cheap knives in the market that work very well, if you are not that fussed.

Re: Moving to Cambodia tips and questions
Russian Market (not O'Russei market) has the best selection of clothes, stall after stall, although central market also has some stuff.
There are also some stores that would pass for luxury in Cambo on (I think) st 136 near Sorya market on the good side of Norodom. Selling golf shirts for $75!, but they do have big sizes.
