Introduce Yourself

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.

been a regular holidayer to the KoW each year the past 5. Generally set up camp in PP and get the Giant Ibis up north and down south. Love the relaxed atmosphere and gets me out of the crappy winter each year!

Whoever said that wasn't in Thailand 10 years ago.
Nah, not true, thais are and have always been overly concerned with getting rich
Khmers are more into a layback lifestyle.

How come you're not enjoying PP?
First off I'm living in Toul Kork, purely for the commute, the wife works there and I'm at the airport so it makes the best sense.
I'm not a city person I guess and having to drive short distances that take 20-30 minutes is very frustrating. Yeah yeah, cry me a river, but the past 3 years I've had no commute and easy access to dining and drinking venues, so I've been very spoilt and perhaps having a real-world commute is a hard adjustment.
SR, being walkable and bikeable, just fitted me better I guess.

Hi, im a guy on the wrong side of 50, love visiting SEA countries...of course KAMPUCHEA is my favorite, been to Thailand, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, PI, Viet, India & Lao.
Hoping to find in future tours a place similar to Cambodia for its good points!
Can anyone recommend a country which shares the highlights of Cambodia apart from the countries ive noted here?

Cheers, yes indeed Indo is next on the tour list, i do not want to go to the tourist hotspots such as Bali, but prefer a more relaxed trip away from maddening crowds of other farang, so the more remote or less traveled islands have the allure for us, can you recommend any places like that in Indo?

Off the beaten path in SEA seems exotic but can turn out to be boring.

Nowadays i prefer to have english speaking company, and good food around me.

Indonesia off you beaten path you may well find yourself in a bamboo hut fighting off food poisoning instead if living the indiana jones lifestyle.

You don't see too many white people outside of Bali and Jakarta. I'd recommend Sumatra (Lake Toba, Bukit Lawang, Berastagi, Bukittingi, etc.), Kalimantan, and Sulawesi for starters. Try the Malaku Islands if you really want to go somewhere less travelled.
