The big 4

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.

The big 4

Post by David Stearn »

I it safe to say that the top 4 expat choices are 1 of Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and then Battambang, in that order? Or is one of these in contest with Kampot/Kep?

Anyhow, what is the best and the worst of each of these, and why should you choose one over the other as a place to live?
The Doctor will see you now.

If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!

Money: Phnom Penh, SR, Sinville, Kampot, Koh Kong Battambang

Attractions: PP, Sinville, Kampot, SR, Koh Kong, Battambang

Basically, Battambang is a shithole...I think I would even consider Sinville at present (or maybe even Syria/Yemen) before Battambang

Kampong Cham, Prey Veng, Svay Rieng, Takeo, Takhmao...all nicer towns than Battambang in every respect

*Lived there for 3 months, for my sins. Hell holds no horrors for me. :beer3:

one of the nicest places to just sit back and enjoy life in the slow lane in Cambodia
