Re: How much are you paying for...

Reading this, you're really making the case for dining out or getting deliveries. All that time wasted on shopping, preparing, cooking and cleaning up - I really have better things to do, like posting nonsense on here.

Re: Boarding requirements flight BKK-PNH 16-03-24

Nobody carries cash anymore. Perhaps a sweeping statement that's just a tad hyperbolic? Just a bit? Let us know how your VOA goes without it. That's a good point about the VoA having to be paid in cash. Whenever I got one myself, there always seemed to be quite a number of people who only just real...

Re: Temple That Got Me Busted by the Police

They harassed you for not carrying a passport? Wowsers! What happened to the give a little tea and problems all go away? I’m assuming you are fluent in Khmer and can smooth talk your way out of any situation.. Unlike me. I thought it was commonly known that you are supposed to carry your passport i...

Re: Boarding requirements flight BKK-PNH 16-03-24

That's funny. Always something new with them airlines. Last time I flew out of BKK, for the first time ever, the check-in clerk checked if I hadn't overstayed my Thai visa. I fly from Bangkok (both airports) to Phnom Penh quite often, and whether or not they ask me for my visa for Cambodia and/or a ...

Re: Why do Western women visit Cambodia?

OP obviously thinks the only reason foreign men come to Cambodia is for mongering. Yes, I wonder if he's ever been here. If he has he's probably never been outside of 136/104 etc. I have been to Cambodia, and I don't think all men come to Cambodia just for mongering. However, there are so many awes...

What about shopping or using an ATM overseas?
You can't, with a virtual card. I have both physical and virtual cards.

Re: receiving 2 factor authentication while abroad

This problem can be solved with online SMS verification. You can receive 2-factor authentification codes anywhere with online SMS verification. I use https://anonymsms.com/ to rent a private number when traveling and with it, I can receive all the authentication codes. This works great for me becau...

Re: ABA: Potential Sale by National Bank

I can't remember the last time I used my debit card, and am unlikely to replace it when it expires. How do you pay for online shopping or sign up for online subscriptions? Does the app provide an alternative 'virtual' card? ABA does offer virtual cards, and in my experience, they work very well and...
