I want to know what I could buy used here and sell in PP to make some extra travel cash. I.e iPhone, laptops. Is there things that bring higher prices in Cambodia?

Not much is worth it these days. A lot of small stuff is now available here, and even if it's often pricier, it's not totally unreasonable.

Just bring stuff for yourself that you know may be hard to find (large sized shoes, specialty spices or whatever).

I had this last time as had a 30kg allowance and I usually only travel with the 7kg of onboard. I don't know if there's much worth bringing in for a profit that's a sure enough thing to be worth the hassle. If you're gonna be here a while might be worth filling it up with your favourite processed food items. Anything in a packet or jar seems to be expensive in KOW . I ended up bringing 5kg of penne pasta as an easy to cook carb when I'm riced out.

If it is not a direct flight from Cambodia check your baggage allowance from your point of arrival. For example bangkok airways from BKK to PNH is only 20kg unless your ticket is on a codeshare with the main flight. thai airways gives you 30kg. Some things that are lunatic expensive are USB drivess., portable drives, ddr4 memory.

I fly from USA and am allowed 2...50lb. ....bags..a carryon and a personal...
If you are flying a major carrier changing planes in tokyo.seoul..shanghai.HK...and direct into PP or Siem Reap..I suspect you have similar limits.
Don't bring pasts..I can get pasta for 35 cents more than in the USA...or just make it yourself.
I bring coffee beans of Western Hemisphere varieties I prefer..in 5 lb. bags.
Mayonnaise is outrageous...I make it for far less.
If you are staying to work...the shoe recommendation
was a good one. Clothes if you are a larger person.
Bringing stuff to sell is just not worth it.
I must agree. Bring what you like.
I bring 500 ..200mg ibupeofen...Hydrocortizone cream..sun block....my favorite shampoo in liters.
I have been bringing over my favorite dvds..blurays.
I would be very interested in what someone would buy as I am coming back to Siem Reap in January.
