Re: Is my Electricity Bill high?
I experienced the same about trn years ago when I moved from the small table top fridge to the multi storey one with freezer, which surprisingly used less power.John Bingham wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2024 6:16 am My bill halved when I bought a new (and much bigger) fridge last year.
Now it's probably time to make another change.

Re: Best Online Resources for learning Khmer
I wouldn't feel guilty about not learning and speaking Khmer all those years you have been here. The 99% of the Cambodians that you have been in contact with have probably learnt a lot of English from you, although you haven't realised it. When you leave this world, leave it knowing that you have i...

Re: Best Online Resources for learning Khmer
If you start learning Khmer, start with loads off attention for the pronunciation of simple words. This will take some time because the way Khmer words are pronounced feels very unnatural. Listen where in words the emphasis lies,. Once you have mastered that, your pronunciation will improve massivel...

Re: PP to DMK flights
Can anybody recommend a cheap flight to DMK from PP? I think there may be some here who travel to DMK on a regular basis? I have an early morning flight to catch out of DMK on May 2. Thanks. If you have luggage and travel on a shoestring it might be cheaper to go to BKK with a 'classic airline' )wh...

Re: Illiteracy in young(ish) Khmers
The actual number is 78%. It's not hard to find wirh some basic googling. 78% is 'around 80%' - it's far, far from 50%. The correct number is 56% higher than his stated number. Even 25 years ago it was still around 70% https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SE.ADT.LITR.ZS?locations=KH&start=2014 ...

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! Think of it this way: owner (owners?) rent the places, employ some girls, pay off the authorities, and obviously ...

Re: Google Pay or Apple Pay payment method in PP?
I have used Google Pay (with a WISE card with multi-currency inc. USD). I used it in Oskar Bistro which is used to lots of credit cards and probably contactless, and the use of a device instead of the physical card is not a new thing to them. I also used it in a Kiwi Mart, as they have contactless ...
