Why move to Cambodia? Because you can ...

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.

Didn't u say u never paid for it but they always give u a fuck for free?? :stir:

Looks like you are paying way too much for beer and hookers. Rent, food and transports cost look about right to me. Assuming that is for one night only.
haha them notes in that picture are stacks of 500 Zambian Kwacha notes, 1 x K500 note = 0.10c hahaha
or
1.2 Kwacha = 1 Khmer Riel :plus1:

So, now you only have to have the same fears once a year after you have accumulated more stuff?
Clearly, to most, that is a quote. Unless PR TYPED those words originally he should not reply to them. Delusional, like thinking Thailand has anything even vaguely resembling a democracy. Oh and that he's never on a soap box :) Well...it might be considered round about bragging I suppose.

Looks like we are all living the dream...

Rent from $350 in Cambodia Leaves Plenty of Money for Expat Activities
By Steven King
25 June 2017
Wherever you are in the world, rent tends to fall into two categories; either an outrageous burden or a relative joy.
In Cambodia paying rent is definitely not a burden thanks in no small part to the reasonably priced properties that are available for expats in places like Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville.

A retiree friend of mine pays just $350 a month for an apartment which comes with its own balcony. It is fully furnished and air-conditioned with one bedroom, one bathroom, kitchen, and living room. It’s the perfect size for a retired person and he spends half his time happily sitting out on the balcony watching the world go by.

In Phnom Penh, the rent on a decent apartment will cost between $350 to $600 a month, plus an additional $75 to $125 for utilities including electricity, water, private garbage disposal, and cable television.

However, if you head down to the coastal resort of Sihanoukville you will spend even less. Western-style apartments range from $200 upwards while two-bedroom houses with gardens can cost about $100 or so more. This means the monthly average cost for all your property expenses can be as low as $300.

With rent as affordable, there’s money left over to do the things you enjoy. That means leading a good, yet affordable, life...

Off topic, but just wondering why Jews always feel the need to announce that they are Jewish? Same with gay dudes, why the need to inform everyone?

It's weird :no:

I can't speak for Jewish people, but I prefer that people don't make incorrect assumptions about me.

It could get worse,, imagine if all Australians kept saying ,, Hey I'm Australian.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
