Re: Is my Electricity Bill high?

Anyone else being charged 30 cents per killowatt hour?? I helped a friend look for a new place last year and it wasn’t unusual for mom and pop apartment style places to ask for 0.30 for electricity and $5 per person per month for water. I saw several like that, and these were places without elevato...

Re: Is my Electricity Bill high?

Yup. That's high. Even with a big room/s. I'm getting ripped at .25 and it is around $100/mth. 24/7 ac. You realise a ceiling fan heats your room? In front, you feel the breeze, but the motor heats the room. So does everything that uses electricity, especially your fridge.... As do people. If he ge...

Re: Is my Electricity Bill high?

I am not sure if my electric company is overcharging me but maybe not. I live in Siem Reap. I didn’t check the Kilowatts but I will. My a/c runs almost 24/7 and I have a tv, a few lights, a computer, one ceiling fan and a small wall fan. My electric bill is usually about $270. per month in this sea...

Re: Borey living

The owner lives in it. Older Russey Keo twin villa. 4/5 with plenty of plants and trees. Very Khmer neighborhood, few if any baring. She bought new for $17k five years ago. Shows normal wear & tear, kitchen was a no-go for what I require. Could install a modern kitchen, but seems like it would ...

Re: Borey living

I think the word 'Borey' originates from 'Boring'. Most of them are just soulless cash cows, purpose built for the wannabe upperclass. Keep in mind that thanks to the mostly swampy area they were built on and the as-cheap-as-possible construction, repair and maintenance costs will start to kill you...

Re: Borey living

Is it built yet? If buying off plan then get firm dates into contract, visit regularly during the build. Get to know the foreman, be a pain in the ass and insist on things being done right. Find out about extra fees, pool? Gym included or extra, security cleaning fees per month? How often do they fo...
