What to bring from USA?

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

I think you can get a kindle shipped to SEA, but still worth having someone bring it over. There are certainly medications equal to tums but again, up to you. Plenty of coffee choices as well. Overall, your list seems sort of odd since items available here.
Shipping / customs charge for the kindle would double its price
copies and things equal to are not the same

I got Uno from a toy store, I think it was called toys & me, or toys & us, something like that. They also had a decent selection of board games such as Monopoly, etc. I have also seen board games at some of the larger book stores.

Between that toy place and random book stores a lot of those board games can be found. Image

Sweet, I'll have another look. Picked up a weird multilingual version of Scrabble the other day for $5 from Facebook, almost better to play than the original.

Peets coffee is easy. just get your local roaster to take it past the 2nd crack until the shit and life is burnt out of it.
will likely look greasy from over roasting when done.

add some normal roast into it for a better taste.

See if they can bring democracy over. And yes, I'm wearing my flak jacket.
