This is how to build a Khmer house during COVID-19

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.

HI Timmy It's a piece of synthetic slate to imitate the marble. I find that it is stronger in strength than natural marble.
Nice. I wasn't sure if you could get that kind of product here.

Beautiful house but doesn't look very secure!
How do you protect yourself against theft?

Come on Richard!, That is easily taken care of & would result in the loss of the dogs.

haha I was about to reply you with the three dogs too. On top of that, I have three surveillance cameras strategically placed around the house, also I have employed my neighbour to be gardener/security, though he doesn't sleep the night in my house, he is a quite reliable fellow.
I always tried to be correct, not politically correct. :hattip:
