You've travelled, so what made you choose Cambodia over the rest?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

The Sweds came and took Gottfrid Warg back in 2102 out of Phnom Pehn,( he was living above Cadillac) )
and they got Fredrik Neij on the thai /laos border 2014

extradition treaties dont mean shit
You are right of course. You can lay low and avoid detection. Once you're on the radar it's an auction.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Other way around, Cambodia chose me, I.e. the outgoing girls did.

Your way off the mark on that one. Australia has some of the most cheapest land available, and you get your name on the title.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Work. Most of my work isn now in Vietnam and Laos but I still prefer to be based here. Easily accessible airport, frequent flights, nowhere near the pollution or traffic of HCMC or Ha Noi. I am getting a little tired of Temple Town, I was watching an endless parade of Hipsters last afternoon, but a quick trip to Vietnam quickly gets me over it.

Laos is really nice as well, Vietnam is busy and pushy.

same happened to me with BKK, rest of Thailand is great. Had I not started in Bangkok I possibly would still live in Thailand. But thats where the job was.
My frequent escapes to Hua Hin and Songkhla were always a treat.
