Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

I was being flippant doc it has been front page news for weeks now. Summer is coming so the effects will not be felt for a while but next winter ?
I suspected humour was in the mix. This round of price caps expire in October, when the wholesale rates for February 2022 to July 2022 will be used. These rises are for wholesale rates from August 2021 to January 2022. The worst has yet to be factored in.

They are predicting further rises of the same magnitude for the October fix, which means that the rises will be way over 100% from the just expired rates. Just in time for next winter...

Plus rampant inflation. Plus interest rates rises. Plus bread and beer prices doubling due to grain prices spikes....
Thanks for cheering me up doc it's freezing here right now. Hopefully India will reinstate my 5 year e visa before next winter, they have done for 156 other countries but for the UK they remain suspended. I might even consider Cambodia if they don't. I can live well in Goa on £150-£200 a week would that be enough in KOW ?
Yes, it is possible. If you take the higher figure of £200 / $264 PW, this is $1144 a month. Rent will be $250+ a month, electric $50+ (depending on your use of the AC), but if you want a house/apartment share it could be even cheaper. $350 will get you something comfortable and respectable.

The rest is all lifestyle and the sky is the limit, but your budget is more than doable. If you can cook for yourself this helps a lot.

Meanwhile seek the remedy in your moniker. Keep warm by watching cricket and dancing to this.
