The good old days

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.

"I suppose Jamie lambo the hero make 100 pounds an hour now......"

Do I detect a bit of jealousy, perhaps non work related?

If you can't tell the difference between sarcasm and jealousy then yes, you can detect jealousy.

Probably depends on what your buying and eating . Convert these $A to $USA and you will find some products in OZ very cheap.

With one exception:

Where in Phuket can you go to get 2 liters of milk for 52 baht ($2 AUD)??? A 2 liter jug of milk is 90 baht. 80 if you can find it on sale.

Australia/New Zealand have the lowest prices in the world on milk and cheese. Nobody can beat them.
