General questions about Phnom Penh

[azerrtrt]

Hi CEO community,
I am planning on moving to PP next year on January and have done some research. Apparently, it is a nice city with an incredible diversity and solid expat community. I also found that Internet is decent in this area. I have two particular questions:
1) Can you confirm that no licence is required for <125cc motorbikes in the city surroundings(i heard about problems in some districts in siem reap...)
2) When I was looking for fitness memberships I found a Sofitel package for 800$ a year! It is even cheaper than some gym chains. in the city and includes pool access...Do you believe it is worth it?
3) Have you ever tried regus offices in the city? I have to choose between this option or another classic coworking space.

Thank you!

I would learn to count first with your two particular questions
Anyway,
1 At the moment no licence required
2 Many apartments have gyms and pools, use the $800 to increase your rental budget
3 Regus has a prestigious location, depends how important that is to you

$800/month is what, $65/month?

with a pool that's a good deal IF you intend to use it regularly

gym memberships are like exercise bicycles, great fun to start with but soon neglected for many

Don't book any co-worker space in advance. Visit some when you're around and then decide.

The Sofitel gym sucks if you're really into fitness, but decent enough if you just want an occasional workout.

I certainly think its a good city or I wouldn't have stayed over 20 years And the internet in my condo is very good, which is all that matters. Plenty of excellent international restaurants and very nice apartments. If I ever want a change i'd probably move to the Algarve.

As above, internet is fine here - with some caveats depending on ISP, package and exact location. Plenty of IT people and work online types here.

I'm the opposite of a gym rat, cannot offer much advice there except that if you pass on the need for AC, your options are far increased and far more affordable.
