I lived there briefly, there was no issue with temperature. It's a very open building and well shaded. You have the mountains in front of you and a nice breeze.Doc67 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 09, 2022 11:33 am In a country with a nice climate it would be a nice place to live. Sadly, Cambodia's climate is either hot, very hot or very hot and wet.
The house has high ceilings and is open plan. It will cost you a bomb to keep it cool, which will probably be impossible given it's openness. Or you can sit there in 30+ degree heat for 9 months of the year.
There was a pool house as well for added shade while in the garden. Nice quiet ceiling fans evenly distributed that were all on count down timers so would not stand on all day even if you forgot to turn them off. Also AC in each bedroom which we used only at night.
I can't comment on the price but it was a really nice place

Sunshine every day was a novelty when I first arrived, now it's just boring. You need cool cloudy days to appreciate the sunny ones which I why I like the rainy season. But the incessant heat is taking it's toll, plus a few other things I cannot tolerate on a long term basis. That's why I am looking to move on, once Covid is over.rubberbaron wrote: ↑Sun Jan 09, 2022 2:59 pmMight I ask why you chose to live here.

Kep would suit you more than PP then Doc.You need cool cloudy days to appreciate the sunny ones which is why I like the rainy season.
Re: Beautiful pool villa for sale in Kep
People say that but if they ever go home to a nice cold crisp day they realise why they left in the first place!
People of the world, spice up your life.

Having just spent 5 months in NZ I'd agree with that.
I'm standing up, so I must be straight.

Every year in the rainy season we have one or two periods with UK style weather. They usually last a week or so. Guess it's left overs from tropical storms from the Pacific.Doc67 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 10, 2022 7:55 amSunshine every day was a novelty when I first arrived, now it's just boring.

Low ceilings, grey clouds, endless drizzling rain, temperatures dropping to low twenties (OK, not very UK-like). It starts as a relieve. The dust is washed out of the air, the air becomes fresher than ever.... But then.... Everything is wet, all's dripping, dust becomes mud, going out is difficult, mold becomes an issue. Sheer horror. You can't even burn your garbage which is a national pastime in the provinces at 5 PM (that's a plus for air quality though).
Next time we have one of those I will let you know so you can experience some of that weather and return on a sunny day in full appreciation.

Lovely property, location and house, if I had some spare money laying around I would snap that up

Sorry for not replying earlier to the post, didn't get notifications. The house posted here is sold now.
The thread I made on this forum about building was a different house I made next to it. That one was not on the market for sale but the buyer of the other house made me an offer I couldn't refuse so that one is sold now also
