What can't you get hold of in Cambodia that you wish you could???

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.

What can't you get hold of in Cambodia that you wish you could???

Post by youngbritmale »

Hello everyone, not too sure whether this topic will garner any interest, but worth a shot. This can range from necessities to luxuries? Maybe even dare to suggest items that could be advantageous to the Khmer population?
Are there any home comforts that you Cambodian expats miss from your homelands?
Whether they be certain foods & beverages, electrical appliances, books, both fictitious and educational, sports equipment, health & beauty products, collectables, tools, automotive & marine consumables etc.
Anything that springs to mind? Just shout it out (post).
Thanks

Top quality grass?

Not sure if it would benefit the local population straight away. But if one taught a local to grow top genetics, weed out the males, harvest at the right time and dry the stuff properly, top profit would ensue.

Hahahahaha, fantastic response! Books it is then, no doubt they'd throw a foreigner in jail for attempting such things!

Good responses, given both some thought to be honest! Not sure if I could pull it off though, bit too ambitious by my standards.
