Re: Same same

It's a tradition to copy western songs, at least the tune. Listen to pre-KR Cambodia Rocks albums and you'll hear Beatles, Procul Harum +.

Re: UK pension reciprocal agreement or not...

I'm an ER holder and a UK passport holder and on a pension. Simple answer, no you do not need to contact UK embassy in any way. The ER process is entirely Cambodian rules and regulations. Just find a reliable agency and do it.

Relocate AC in a room?

I want to relocate an existing wall mounted AC from one wall to another within the same room. So I need to find a competent person/business that can do that for me. I am in PP, BKK2. Any recommendations?
