Dont goto thailand!!

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.

Post by Beerinthemorning »

AUD has taken a tumble and dipped below 25 baht.

At least it hasnt dipped under 3000 KHR.....

I remember when i was getting 33.33 baht per AUD

10000 baht was 300 aussie dollar back in the day and it was alot cheaper tooo bloody hell.


Cambodia also has a strong riel bit i only lost 20% not 33%

Plus cambodias beer prices havent skyrocketed like thailand..

It shouldn't really concern you as a)you have previously stated that you will never return to SE Asia and b) you are making AUD 100,000 a month picking pineapples.

Cant see how anyone would think Cambodia is cheaper ( except getting drunk while smoking cigs)
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

I agree, AUD lost near 40 cents over 7 years.

A hostel here in brisbane goes for 25$ USD equivelent, no fan no wifi not even a damn towel.
