Coconut · Post by **Coconut** » Mon Feb 27, 2023 4:43 am

So I'll move to Cambodia, I'm 42yo and super chill.
I want a quiet place to live.
I love the beach/ocean, the jungle and the mountains also look interesting, but I would be happy to stay near a beach or just a place with clear water where I can do some sunbathing - I'm happy with just a rock to lie on...
Also it would be nice to have a little "hippie" community around, but it's not a must if there are any other chill/quiet places to recommend.
City life is not for me and I don't need any nightlife...
That said, Koh Phangan, Th is my favorite place - so if you have been there you get the picture of what I like, but Cambodia is next as it's to much work for me to maintain a Visa in Th...
Any ideas for a place to live for me?
Thanks for all help in advance

I suggest you start your trip in Koh Kong and travel down south (all along the beach as far as possible) to Kep to see if there is a place you like. Avoid Sihanoukville as you dont like city life. Kampot has a nice hippie vibe to it but is not on the sea. There is no such place as Koh Phangan in Cambodia.

Learn to love she shaded places ...

Cambodia is a bad place for sunbathing.

SPOT on> kampot has very affordable accommodations , wide range of restaurants, a good vibe and easy to get around, you can swim in the river, ( lots of places along the river to spend and afternoon or 2) or travel 18 kms an swim in the sea in Kep ( BUT avoid on weekends and holidays)

Kampot is a mix between new age hippies and old drinkers

living out their lives in Cambodia

The drinkers are often very old. The average age of a visitor in Koh Phangan is about half that of Kampot residents. As a 42y old I would prefer to hang out with younger folks.

I always find it surprising when people believe that the answer to a question like 'where should I live?' can be found on internet forums such as this one. Perhaps especially this one: if you look at old and not-so-old threads, there are plenty of contributors here who've also concluded that Thailand is a better place for them, or just simply less expensive than Cambodia, and perhaps some of them will pop up on this thread and advise you not to bother coming here.

Sounds like Nesat Village in Srae Ambel in Koh Kong province would be a good place for you. It's a small "alternative" village set up by westeners who used to live in Otres area in Sihanoukville prior 2018. There are few beaches couple kilometers from it.

Search Nesat Village on Facebook for more info. Or you can find it on google maps too.

Other option is Kep. Beach, sea, mountains, jungle and quietness. That is definition of Kep. Though beach and the Crab Market area does get very crowded on weekends.

Just out of interest, how are you looking to maintain a visa here?
