How to make a small fortune in KoW

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.

First heard this one 40+ years ago in Thailand.

Which goes to show why you are now hearing it in Cambodia now. Aren't we 40 years behind LOS
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.

Yes i been back 5 days and got a foot in the door already laying asphalt.
Just passed my D&A test then.

Better work here in OZ than SEA.

SEA especially KoW doesnt offer competetive rates like the west.

Example the thai salary for a teacher is still 30000 baht a month.

Same as 14, years ago,

And the increase in wages in real terms, in Oz, has been how much over the last 14 years?

No thanks.
