Re: Cambodia: Asia’s New Fraud Capital

I am very dubious about claims of loss of large sums of money, often thousands of dollars, by anyone. Who carries such sums? They must be either very, very wealthy or very, very stupid! Regarding locals rather than foreigners, 10 years ago only about 10% of Cambodians had bank accounts. Large payme...

Re: Farewell to an Era: Phnom Penh International Airport Set to Shut Down to Make Way for New Airport Next Year

How was that calculated? I have flown to/from PNH many times before and after covid and have yet to see it "busy" in comparison to other airports Why would you compare with other airports that most likely have a capacity many X compared to PNH? If a airport dont have enough gates to rent ...

Re: Pallets for Sale

Plastic or wood, new or used? There are a few places around here https://maps.app.goo.gl/4nHsLeYm9SXsimST9 Wood and used. That place looks perfect. Any idea as to cost? I am hoping for >$3 a piece, or am I dreaming? Unlikely unless you want crappy ones, but you can try, especially if you don't need...

Re: British Tourist BEN WILKINS in Coma at Cambodia Hospital While Family Raises $60,000

I might as well kick off the speculation as someone will do it eventually, still no mention of how he ended up unconscious or with sudden kidney failure. Normally I wouldn't ask, but since the family are asking everyone to donate... Just to make it clear, I do feel sorry for his family that they've ...

Re: Farewell to an Era: Phnom Penh International Airport Set to Shut Down to Make Way for New Airport Next Year

Just immagine Cambodia in 2024 with NO new recent aiports. None of the old airports would be near max capacity. Billions could have been better spent. Those mega project just create huge corruption I guess covid was not foreseen. What airport was running near max capacity before covid hit? Pochento...

Re: British Tourist BEN WILKINS in Coma at Cambodia Hospital While Family Raises $60,000

7,500USD/ per day ? I understand that he is in a coma in a country with limited medical resources, but that seems extremely high, even by Cambodian standards. Yeah no way that is a correct number unless he had surgeries and other expensive treatments while there but even then that is not a daily co...

Re: Borey living

We are just renters for first six month ... after that buy or sign long lease ... if it's all good. If buying: #1 be aware that it will not be your name on the title #2 over the long term it will probably appreciate but if you need to sell up for whatever reason in the short term you may well lose ...
