Wages

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.

Not competing, wood butcher from a totally different school. They don't understand how we do it and like the style. So if I were asked..... just wondering.

what i meant by competing is you would probably have to charge around the same as a khmer handyman would charge, depends on the customer really and what theyre willing to pay

Several have tried and frankly, there's no market for it. Even in a supervising role it's rather difficult to make a living.

Actually not really interested, just seems like I may be approached soon, so curious as to what it may be worth.....
