Kingdom of Wonder recommended for low costs for expat retirees

So far so good, but how about letting us in to retire in the first place? My plan this year was to finish work forever in July, spend a couple of months on the beach in Ao Nang, then move to Siem Reap for the last downhill run. And what happened? Dont get me started. But its nice to know that it would be a good place to retire, even if I cant!

Yes, at least in Cambodia you don't have to worry about an overvalued currency like the Thai Baht being driven to ridiculously high levels by speculators.

Re: Kingdom of Wonder recommended for low costs for expat retirees
Just wondering what were your reasons for choosing Siem Reap to retire to ?,
Ao Nang has a pretty bog-standard beach to be fair, a strange choice as a beach destination

I was in Siem Reap a few times on visa runs when I lived in Vietnam, I like the pace of the place and you can get a better type of accommodation for a reasonable price. I am not into wholesale mongering and spent enough time in cities like PP to put me off living there. Ao Nang? Went there once for few days, stayed in a bungalow not far from the beach, I like the scenery,ok not the best beach but I like being near the sea and after the virus is over it will be fairly quiet.jaynewcastle wrote: ↑Tue Jun 16, 2020 11:35 pm Just wondering what were your reasons for choosing Siem Reap to retire to ?,

I have worked in hospitality for 35 years, totally sick of every day dealing with the public, just want a quiet place, a decent motorbike, a few beers, the odd bit of female company, and enjoy the downhill run to oblivion. But at the moment the world is conspiring against me.

Re: Kingdom of Wonder recommended for low costs for expat retirees
someone send this guy a case of anchor and a bag of gniew or whatever those stinky little clam shell things are... just to tide him ove.
Seriously though, what is the top thing you would miss or are missing about Cambodia?
And I don’t want answers like
“The people because they are amazing” we know that!
my main thing about missing cambodia is..... people watching!,, with a beer... on riverside... trying to guess where the different people come from.

I'm standing up, so I must be straight.

People? hah - same everywhere, good and bad, although the mix varies from place to place. What I miss - hot weather, relaxed laws, cheap beer, interesting countryside, easy access to Vietnam / Laos / Thailand, generally cheap living, oh yes and girls who pretend not to mind that I am 40 to 50 years older than them and who will entertain me for the price of a few UK pints, compared to the aging slappers back home who will barely look in my direction without a belly full of high priced Vodka and Coke....atst wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:31 amMy girlfrienddjstuntmunch wrote: ↑Wed Jun 17, 2020 4:27 am
