What is it about Siem Reap ...

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 have lived in siem reap for about 10 years,for me its a lovely place to live,also lived part time in pp,for about 2 years.
if you love going out to girly bars than forget siem reap but i got over that addiction many many years ago,most of my friends are khmers,but i have many long time expat friends also,its a safe place to live,no hassles and easy.pub street for me is for tourists i have not ventured there for many years,as with all places you live its what you make out of it,for me i love fishing/camping out,boats,small villages and siem reap is ideal for this,currently building a floating home on the lake so plan more time just relaxing and fishing

None of the SR expat crowd spends any real time on Pub Street either... that's where the tourists go. It's a city with tons of great places to eat, pubs to hang out in and interesting people to meet but it takes more than a fleeting visit to work any of that out. Which is good, it keeps the riff-raff in Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville where they belong. ;-)
Siem Reap has it's fair share of riff-raff, a certain gentleman of your acquaintance topping the list at the moment. :hattip:
The most boring man in the World. Ever!
