Thailand Versus Cambodia

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Ok, challenge. Come up with some examples of the food where the same food in Thailand is significantly cheaper than in Cambodia.

Since loads of food, or ingredients of the food, in Cambodia come from Thailand they're more expensive here because of taxes, (inefficient) transport, etc etc. Add to that the ridiculous rents / land prices in Cambodia and you have a mix of ingredients making Cambodia more expensive than Thailand for many products.

No judgement, serious question.
Quite impossible, if you read why I'm living here at the first place.

My social life has been much the same in two countries. If I moved to a 3rd country, I'd probably do the same.

mossie wrote: Sun Mar 28, 2021 8:17 am Number one thing why I live in Cambodia and not in Thailand, is the easy to get 1 year visa here.
In Thailand visa policy is something else...

When it comes to the Thai and Khmer people attitudes towards F(B)arangs, is that we are mostly tolerated 80%.
Liked 10% max / disliked, hated, etc. other negative responses 30%.
Major generalisation or not.

I'm living in this part of the world because of the weather anyway. I do my best to avoid and ignore natives with based on experience.
Foreigner also. I've become antisocial loner and I love it.

Talking about visas, in Thailand being more advanced the price is fixed, although you need money sat in the bank.
Here in Cambodia there's the price of visa at immigration and a higher price at the agents. How many of you go directly to immigration? With supporting documents. No money in the bank at this time.
Always "hope" but never "expect".
