I can't tell about Thailand as i have never been to Thailand. However, i always thought that living in Thailand is much better than Cambodia in so many reasons.

It's shit - it's full of Siems and the worst type of foreigners.

I bet their house is in Stoke Newington. I live in Cambodia because it's cheap and my wife doesn't want to move. I don't feel anyone is exploited by me living here on the cheap.

excepting perhaps one's good self. LOL
not that serious, but a kernel of truth.
almost every barang i know here benefits the country by their presence.
kudos to the Khmer for realizing the benefits of an open door policy, and their forebearance in tolerating the foibles of the mad majority who wash up on these shores.
kindred spirits i suspect.

At least they are honest that they are living here just because they like it. Did they say how long they've been here ? Not worried about dissing the majority of SR expats' lifestyles anyway; that was either refreshingly candid or rather naive.

That's a cute baby!

They look live simply and happily in the countryside.
BTW I still like living in Cambodia more than in Thailand. Beside Political issue and norms, I love everything here.

They seem to have quite a haughty attitude, like they are somehow more worthy than these cliquey "expats" they talk of, who gossip so much and are just here to speculate and exploit the situation. Maybe that goes on in the circles they mix in. Their take on Cambodia seems quite alien to me. Good luck to them either way though.

Our Australian cat is worth hours of discussion, even when he's not visible. As an eight-kilo Burmese our Khmer neighbours don't believe he's a domestic cat, and we allow them to think he's a clar, a tiger, or at least part wild-cat. They're terrified of him, and if that helps keep him safe, then good.

Brown Burmese?
Tough cats and very dog like. Loyal, smart and affectionate.

I miss my Burmese. In fact it's the only thing I miss about home, although I'd actually call Cambodia home now.

I would say over confident, as opposed to haughty. They could be in for a shock if they have "bought" the land in their own names, certainly can't have obtained a hard title if that is the case. I would imagine the joy of doing very little will wear off fairly soon. What then, not much call for a foreign electrician in the countryside, nor for an English teacher, unless there is a private school somewhere near by.
