Hope everyone had a Happy Khmer New Year 2023!

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

We found a Khmer pagoda in the US to go to this past weekend to celebrate the Khmer New Year, and I just had to share these pics of the fam. Daughter is almost a year old now!! Unbelievable how fast this time has gone by.

We went to a pub in Manchester for a get together that was organized by the owner of Kambuja Marple restaurant in Stockport. There were roughly 10-15 Khmer people as well as a few Thais. I usually hate stuff like that but actually had a really cool time and met some very interesting people. Not posting the photos as I didn't ask for anyone's permission to do so.

I had no money other than 500 riel.
Walked 10 km to a village I have friends in and did the water thing.

A guy bought me a beer and I won a dollar.
The next one won a free beer.
The next, another free beer.
The next, another free beer.
The next 10,000 riel.
The next 5,000 riel.
The next a free beer.
The next 10,000 riel.
Next two lost.
Spent a couple bucks on food and water.
Had a great time over two days.

In total, had ten beers for free and left 3$ ahead.


Cambodia beer.
