What would you bring to Cambodia (if you had the room)?

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!

Post by Anchor Moy »

:dm: Hypothetical situation: you have a friend coming to Cambodia with an spare suitcase, who is prepared to bring you over any stuff you want or need. What are the goods that you can't find or which are crap in Cambodia that you would ask for ? It's a suitcase so shouldn't weigh much more than 20k. This hypothetical person is coming from Europe so forget the Vegemite :)

Not much really as I can get anything on the Internet. Cheese, cold cuts perhaps. And there is Marmite, which tastes just as crap as vegemite.

Ecstasy (ideally in MDMA crystals but pills would be fine) or cocaine of a sufficiently high-grade to be worth snorting.

Hanno, you order stuff from the internet, get them delivered, and they arrive ? Do you have a PO Box or what ?
Previously I tried sending things to Cambodia by post but it never arrived at destination.

Must have received a few hundred parcels and magazines over the years, with anything from food to camera equipment. Never lost a thing.

Yes, I have a PO Box.

Don't tell Vladimir FFS, or he'll hound you with it every time he disagrees/notices a spelling/grammar/syntax mistake!

For me, a few good books, a couple of back copies of Viz & Private Eye, a decent tin opener, a decent potato masher, Bisto, other various 'just add water' sauces, a couple tins of Frey Bennies, Scampi Fries, a pack of sensi-seed's feminized finest, a small egg incubator, August 1995 copies of Razzle and Asian Babes and an eighth of crack.
