Introduce Yourself

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

SEAfann wrote: Sat Nov 18, 2017 7:24 am Hi, im a guy on the wrong side of 50, love visiting SEA countries...of course KAMPUCHEA is my favorite, been to Thailand, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, PI, Viet, India & Lao.
Hoping to find in future tours a place similar to Cambodia for its good points!
Can anyone recommend a country which shares the highlights of Cambodia apart from the countries ive noted here?
Hi, you should visit Indonesia.
Cheers, yes indeed Indo is next on the tour list, i do not want to go to the tourist hotspots such as Bali, but prefer a more relaxed trip away from maddening crowds of other farang, so the more remote or less traveled islands have the allure for us, can you recommend any places like that in Indo?
Off the beaten path in SEA seems exotic but can turn out to be boring.

Nowadays i prefer to have english speaking company, and good food around me.

Indonesia off you beaten path you may well find yourself in a bamboo hut fighting off food poisoning instead if living the indiana jones lifestyle.
hahaha yes thats true too!, but when i go to a place & see more farang than locals i know i shouldnt be there, i travel to see other countrie's people & lifestyle, not a heap of my countrymen behaving as usual ha
Yeh off the beaten path can be great but you need a purpose (photography, filming a documentry, pretending to be anthony bourdain for a day... …).

I agree there is way wayyy to many farangs in SEA, sometimes i wander what they are all doing there.,...?

yes i remember my first trip to Cambo about 10yrs ago, it was a direct flight from BKK after being in Pattaya, such a refreshing change from the bustle with so few tourists comparatively, feel privileged to have been to the Kingdom before the onset of mass tourism had ensued...wont be long
