Moving from Thailand to Cambodia

I've lived and worked in Thailand for 10 years but recently I've become so tired of their pretentious culture and the swathes of know-it-all expats and posers. Has anyone ever been in this position and decided to move to Cambodia? How did it go? I've visited Phnom Penh regularly since probably 2018 ...

How many of Phnom Penh's bars are laundrettes?

A bar opposite the hotel I use has been open since 2017 at least. But there is virtually never any customers. The girls say on most nights it's just one or two people. I discovered the owner lives abroad and never visits. He doesn't pay attention to the numbers, but the ten staff are each paid a min...

Lolita Bar & Cherry Bar on St 130 closed / busted?

In December there were a couple of bars on Street 130 called 'Lolita Bar' and 'Cherry Bar' with some very young-looking girls outside.

These have now disappeared. Anybody know if they were closed by police or just went out of business?

Re: Where did all the tuk-tuks come from?

Phnom Post have just published this article about the decline of the Remorque and the rise in three-wheeled Indian style tuk-tuks. However, some of the claims in the article are nonsense, as there are still plenty of the old style around in Phnom Penh. https://www.phnompenhpost.com/national-post-dep...

Where did all the tuk-tuks come from?

Last time I visited Phnom Phen was early 2020 just before the pandemic. Back then there I remember only seeing motorcycle trailer style tub-tuks. So when I went at the start of this month I was surprised by how many new white tuk-tuks there were. Where are they all coming from? How are drivers getti...
