Re: Province life vs City life, What works for you?
As stated, Wood places in Kep are VERY expensive as all wood need be imported (even thou they cut lots of trees to get to the dirt to build the new beach)
my contractor told the wife he lost over $2,000 ( we had agreed on a price/sq M), as so many things he had to redo as i just would not accept
As to never build in Cambodia, that will be easy ( as no intention to return, its her house) <
been there....done that....
PS: what I found about the builders is they have no respect for their work or others work ( the guy that built the house vs the window installer vs the guy that did my doors and wood trim), no pride in their work at all;
its all just a job to them

What size of plot would be 10-15k over there?Kammekor wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 10:05 am
As I said, all in all it costs about 33k for the labor and the parts. The land we bought before, but the prices we paid for the land are irrelevant now. Because we live here we can simply wait for a good chance coming along. I think a piece of land like this close to this location (Ratanakiri province, about 4 km to Ban Lung, not on the main raid) will costs 10-15k these days.
Amazing views!

Re: Province life vs City life, What works for you?
Grew up very country, spent my late teens and all my 20's in big cities
Lived very rural here for a number of years, now living outside a small coastal town
Would like city life again soon but doesn't fit current lifestyle, so hey ho
Ideally I'd like the best of both worlds - nice quiet country home, with land but with a decent metropolis within one hours fast drive for when the release valve needs opening

Re: Province life vs City life, What works for you?
Province for me been here near on 6 years had 4 months riverside apartment PP and 2 months Kampot soon got just as bored as in the province. The difference is no pollution and noise in the province. PP is only a moto ride away for a few days every 3-4 months just for a change but I find after 3 days I've had enough of PP. Must be getting old hahaha.

If that's your house and view it looks awesome.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
