Hello guys. I'm currently in phnom pen with a friend and I have an idea and would like to hear your opinions. We want to buy a tuktuk and travel with it across the country (pp - kampot - korong - Siem Reap and everything in between). We would like to know if it's possible, if tuktuks can drive on the highways and if not where they can, what are the prices and where can we find one. Any further advice and tip would be appreciated BTW we have car and motorcycle international driving license.

I'm trying to take the city bus for the first time. I want to go on the orange route (let's say) but on the route (in the city bus app) there are many purple bus stops and the closest one to me is also purple. The orange ones a further away. On Google maps, it told me to just go to the stop closest to me but I'm not sure. Also, in the app, the internet seems to not be working because the last time I opened it, it displayed small moving busses but now it's just blue bus icons staying still. Did something change or is the internet not working? Mine is working just fine but it could be a problem on their end. Please help.

Hi everyone, I have a 20-year-old photo of me and my grandma. It’s a bit stained, so I’d like to restore it and have it printed on canvas. Could you please recommend a place in Phnom Penh that offers good quality and reasonable prices?

Sorry for the newbie question. I hear everyone talking about about the 2X2 passport photo for the visa. However, in the application, the sample is a photo of a passport. So do they want the passport photo or a photo of a passport? The photo we upload at the beginning of the process is called a "portrait photo." Thanks in advance.

As the water level of the Mekong drops, families take over the fertile land that spends five months of the year underwater. I don’t know if there are any rules concerning this, or if anyone can do it, first come first served. ‘Guerilla Gardening’ is a thing in Germany, where people take over derelict public land, but this is another level entirely. This is Kratie town, there’s five or six more ambitious projects starting up right now.

I just want to clarify, is this required even for a short time travel? Thanks for who can help!

Ring pull from a redbull in Cambodia, I presumed the 2 was for 2 free cans...but trying to redeem, I could not get them. Am I missing something?

Hey everyone.

Hope your day is going as anticipated or even better.

I am 30M from Portugal currently living in Phnom Penh.

I've lived in PP in two previous occasions and have, recently, made it back a third time. This time to settle indefinitely.

I'm a regular joe. I like to have talks and discussions about whatever pops into our minds. Love to listen to music as much as I can. Watch basketball, anime, play video games. Laugh at myself, crack jokes, make observations and lead a slow paced life.

I've never been one to approach people out of the blue. Just not my style. I'm also not much into social events these days. For those reasons, I'm writing this post, in case someone is down to meet up and do something.

Thanks for reading and have a good one )

In December is the best time for Sunrise/Set at Angkor Wat temple Siem Reap, Cambodia.

Hello! My daughter in law's first language is Khmer and I am looking for kids songs in Khmer for my 1 year old granddaughter. I would love to find versions of American songs like Wheels on the Bus, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Muffin Man etc. I have already found a few on YouTube, I have Baby Shark, Head Shoulders Knees and Toes, If You're Happy And You Know It, and Old McDonald. Any suggestions where I can find those and even some Cambodian kids songs like the alphabet and counting? I am making her a Tonie Box Creative Tonie with all Khmer songs.

Hello, all! After visiting Siem Reap a few years back, I've made the decision to move to Cambodia. Siem Reap is my first option but if the job market is more preferable in Phnom Penh, I'll choose it instead. I'm currently working as a barback here at home and am soon moving into actual bartending.

How are the job opportunities for such a job for an expat in these 2 cities? Do they pay well? Is this a type of position that you'd have to own the bar yourself to have? I'd be looking for something part-time, given that I make a little over half-a-grand doing some online work and would just need that extra 600-800/month to fully cover my bases.

I would be open to landing a job as an English teacher if they're still accepting native English speakers with only a TEFL. I'm assuming that taking an in person course that involves actual, real classroom training is better than one of the online courses? If so, I'd definitely wait until I moved and find a class to start taking ASAP.

I'm not planning on moving for another year-and-a-half or so to give myself more time to save as much as I can here and definitely want to make sure that if I choose the route of teaching, I'm not taking one of these online courses that'll essentially end up being a waste of time/money.

Thanks!

Id rather not have to go look for it in pharmacies or import it. Any good options to buy it online?

Any ideas where to go here?

(asking)

I have two driving licences. One is from my home country (A1 + car) and one from another ASEAN country (car+motorbike)

I am unable to get a Cambodian driving licence because my home country`s licence is not in English and my ASEAN licence is not from my homecountry. All the agents say its not possible without translation certified by my embassy and to be honest that`s too much work for me at the moment. Not willing to go that way because apparently A1 is also not enough to get the Cambodian motorbike licence.

Does anyone know how to work around this?

Also lots of confusion about length of driving licence. Some agents say only 1 year is possible while others say 10 years is also possible.

I'm a writer and I need to use Vellum which is only available for Macs. I tried ordering one from Lazada (and have it delivered here) but they wouldn't take my payment. I appealed it but who knows. My bank says it wasn't them so... So, I'm hoping to find a legit dealer here.

Hi! So I will be crossing the border between the south of Laos to Cambodia at the end of this month by bus. I initially thought that I could just get a visa at the border, but now I start reading a lot about e-visas that I am doubting wether it’s still possible to obtain one at the border the same day??? Can anyone enlighten me🤗🤗 I am from Denmark btw

I (31F) am on my first solo-travel trip and looking to make some connections with locals, expats, and other travelers while I’m abroad. ☺️

About me: 🇺🇦->🇺🇸 Born in Ukraine, living in America 🎮 Love playing video games 🌱 Vegetarian

I’ll be staying in Phnom Penh for the next few days, and then planning to explore other places in Cambodia.

If you’re in the area and want to chat, share stories, go sight seeing, or grab a bite to eat, then let’s hang out. 😄

Kampot International Tourism Port (KITP)

Kampot International Tourism Port (KITP) is officially set to open on December 12, 2024. This brand-new facility is about to revolutionize regional travel by connecting Kampot, Cambodia, to neighboring hotspots in Vietnam and Thailand, creating incredible new tourism routes!

Here’s what you need to know:

🚤 Destinations:

• Phu Quoc Island 🇻🇳: Just 45 minutes away by ferry!
• Trat Province 🇹🇭: Easy access for exploring Thailand’s stunning coastal regions.
• Koh Rong 🇰🇭: Direct routes to some of Cambodia’s most iconic islands!

🌴 Why This Matters:

• Boost for Tourism: Kampot, already famous for its laid-back charm, pepper farms, and scenic riverside, will now attract even more international travelers.
• Seamless Travel: Forget long road trips or expensive flights—regional travel just got faster, easier, and more fun.
• Explore More: Combine multiple countries and islands in one trip. Imagine starting your day with Kampot’s famous crab and ending it with a sunset in Phu Quoc!

This is a big step for Kampot and Cambodia’s tourism industry, marking new opportunities for increased tourist inflow and outflow.

Hi. I know you can extend visa one time. I leave 4 days after my first visa application. I know it's 45$. And 10$ / day overstay.

1. At immigration only cash or can I pay by card or bakong app?
2. 4 days overstay= 40$, no more right? no bride at airport? Only cash there? Will I be on record if I choose this way?
3. I can't decide what the best way for me

Thanks 🙏
