Re: Royal Enfield motorcycles now in Cambodia

Like any road bike with short travel suspension, and twin shocks compared to monoshock, they'll be heavy pigs around town, and not comfortable on crappy country roads. If Cambodia can upgrade and maintain their national highways to a decent standard, especially through areas like the Cardamons, then...

Re: New Traffic Laws in Force From 1 May 2020

Barangs need a license to drive any moto that is 50cc and up and they absolutly will take your moto. You don't legally own the bike the person who has the card does. They will have to get it from the police then give it to you, good luck with that. If thats the case (and I'm not saying it is or isn...

Re: A Very Sad Expat Story in Kampot - BUT with Happy Ending

I think the initial problem was he was running out of money and wanted to sell part of his portfolio. I suspect this is when Chara got involved and they discovered he couldn't sell anything. Now if he can sell some then he can carry on with life. Good result for him but he shouldn't trust his new p...

Re: A Very Sad Expat Story in Kampot - BUT with Happy Ending

Wow...so now that this guy has managed to get the properties "returned" to him, he is selling them. Probably a smart move, and likely he was advised to do so. The intened sale of his land implies to me he did not get or need Cambodian citizenship. No reason to have it now, and he easily q...

Re: A Very Sad Expat Story in Kampot

I think his age and simple appearance might have gained some sympathy from the Cambodians. Assuming the property is now in the name of another Cambodian (the RE agent that helped him ??) he should do a longterm lease with them. I've read this is pretty safe if the terms are drawn up correctly and th...

Re: Shipping to Cambodia from Oz

Late edit - second thoughts, dealing with Cambodian customs sounds like it would be a nightmare. and expensive. If you find a good shipping agent in Cambodia, they can handle customs etc for you. In fact, they may provide a local importer you can consign the goods to, so (on paper) you're not invol...

Re: The Cambodian Coronavirus Exception ?

Personally I'm surprised that this issue isn't at the forefront of people's mind when discussing Covid-19. For me, it's such an anomaly it's difficult to believe, considering the hugely contageous nature of the virus. It has spread so rapidly and so uncontrollably throughout populations that we're ...
