Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom.

No. I've never owned a home.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

^ Fair enough.

I was thinking of those options too, but thought it was a better poll with just the 2 options.

"Back home" means different things to us all.

I usually say I had a nice time "visiting the States," and I was "glad to be home" when I arrived in Cambodia.

funny; 80% of my friends here in Thailand own their own homes (condo or home)
NONE own one in their birth country

quite different from those i know in Cambodia where only my brother in law owns his own home and NONE of my friends

That should include, the city of Sihanoukville, Kampongcham, Kep, Kampot, Siem Reap and Battambang. House prices in those provinces are incredibly expensive too.
