Re: Old Swiss francs exchange in Phnom Penh

At that exchange rate I would also have gladly bought the francs from you. Pity you didn't ask here in the forum..

Re: Entering+traveling in Cambodia with Vietnam motorbike

Used to cross the KH/VN border many times over the years with my VN plated Scooter, mostly at Ha Tien. There was never any mention or question asked about the motorbike. Until December 23 when stamping out of Cambodia the officer said "you have motorbike? Go over there to the customs window&quo...

Re: Best place to buy - local roasted cashews

It is actually right at the South/West corner of Central Market. l also used to buy chestnuts there. The cashew nuts are roasted and vacuum packed 500 g and 1 kg, around $10 per kg. Beeing an addict, I used to buy the cashew nuts unroasted out of a 20 kg bag for just under $10 /kg from a lady inside...

Re: i dont know what to make of this? laugh or cry

Mid April I deposited 2000 USD by error into the account of the guy in front of me at the ATM deposit machine who left his transaction unfinished.

I don't know about that. I crossed the border 25 km SW of Chau Doc at Tịnh Biên, then on road 2 to PP.

Re: Going to Vietnam with VN plate moto

I can't remember that I ever had to show the blue card in VN except of course needed it when selling them (I'm on my 3rd now, all VN-plated). Never got stopped by the police in VN. I have been using my bikes mostly in Cambodia. The trips to VN amounted to a total of 2 or 3 months. When stopped by th...

Re: Going to Vietnam with VN plate moto

I crossed the border to VN on my VN-plated scooter several times (at Ha Tien and back at Moc Bai, Chau Doc and Ha Tien), last time in December 2019. There was never any mention of the motorbike, no problem. If there are fixers telling you otherwise, ignore them.

Re: Swift outbound blocked by NBC

My Swiss online stock broker bank (Swissquote) does not accept any transfer from a cambodian bank because of the grey list. The same with Revolut and Wise. So what I have to do is transfer to my Philippines bank account and then onward to one of the above banks.
