Re: Banking issues for Americans residing in Cambodia

Why do you need a US bank account to file your taxes? I've never encountered that requirement. You don't. But if you don't you will need a US address to send the paper check to if you are getting a refund. They will send you a check to Cambodia, but I don't think any bank in Cambodia will cash it.

Re: Fans with Water Vaporisers

From personal experience here in Cambodia, I don't think these fans work so well. The humidity is already pretty high and then you add more moisture with the mist. You end feeling more hot.

Maybe if the mist fully evaporated before coming in contact with anyone it would work better.

They are NOT shutting down.

They are just stopping the print edition and going online edition only.

Re: e-Arrival Card app for foreigners coming to Cambodia to be launched in 2024

Who doesn't have a smart phone in 2024?

And frankly, does Cambodia want a tourist who can't afford a smart phone?

https://i.postimg.cc/qtSKDGyC/71-KUVim1x-WL-AC-SL1000.jpg This is probably a stupid question but do you have to stick it to the floor with something, or does it just stick automatically? Yeah you just lay it down. It's some type of plastic, not foam, so it should last a long time. Bought it from a ...

Re: Longtime Australian Expat KEN LONG Dies in Phnom Penh from Heart Attack After Slip in Bathroom

RIP Death by falling in the bathroom is not such a uncommon occurance. When i shower and the floor is wet i walk really really carefully like a couple inches per step, for a reason. Those slippery tiles here are not to play with and certainly not if you slip and hit the back of your head on them or...
