storms

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.

The storms I'm used to are very tame in the south of England, Is Cambodia known for big thunderstorms? I'm fascinated by them

April is the traditional hot dry month- but not this year- it was like no pronounced dry season at all.
peak wet months are september and october by historical stats.

Been good for bee's. :) It's also given me more time to concentrate on a few new dishes for the bar.
Like this Kofta curry with fresh herbs and spices, served with rice and pan fried potato's.
