Re: Renting in PP

Health insurance is the other query – what options are about that don’t cost a bomb? I've been using World Nomads here for years. Cost me about $100/month with repatriation coverage. I know world nomads, i think from some overlander-website, but did you ever had to contact them, needed them. I saw ...

Re: Best Online Resources for learning Khmer

I am really interested in your language-skills. I can help myself a little in daily life in Phnom Penh with my Khmer, learned myself a lot of vocabulary, but not enough to make a normal khmer conversation. Problem is for me, i hit a wall as most barang speak hardly khmer and i rarely speak with bara...

Re: Has living in Cambodia become 'normalised' for you?

Re: MOON LANDING HOAX CONFESSION

They had maths and astrology when the yanks were still living in caves !!

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: Illiteracy in young(ish) Khmers

10 years ago 50% of khmers couldnt read or write, i suppose slowly its getting lower, and i know some european people also who hardly can: They are champions in hiding it, always will have a reason to not read for example a restaurants menu (forget glasses always works). Before i was "smart-pho...

Re: Oh, You Internet.

I noticed that my internet speed on both Smart & Cellcard was diminished over the weekend. A cheeky check on the undersea cables revealed that South East Asia–Middle East–Western Europe 5 (Singapore to France via everything) was broken on Friday at some point, not sure if that has impacted spee...
