Has anyone successfully transferred USD currency from an US bank account to a Cambodian USD account by using the Wise transfer service? This would avoid bank currency conversion fees, and only require the transfer fee.

Hey all,

I found a guy called Kat on another post here a few days ago and decided to give him a go.

The friendliest guy I have met so far in Cambodia picked us up this morning at 4:20am. He got us in, first in line and showed us the exact spot (to the centimetre actually lol) to sit in for the best view of the sunrise.

The rest of the day was bloody hot but Kat was always happy and full of interesting info (with great english and humour) Our itinerary was easily changed based on our declining physical health as the temperature got hotter.

He had unlimited bottles of cold water and menthol cold towels to help out.

All in all, couldn’t be happier with his service. He seems to be booked out for the next few days but is free after.

Hit him up!

As temperatures soar to 43°C in Banteay Meanchey province, students at one school wrapped wet towels around their heads in an attempt to cool down, with the principal urging authorities to cut school hours to protect pupils from the scorching heat.

At Koumrou Srok​ Primary School in Russey Krok Village, Russey Krok Commune, Mongkul Borey District, students sat in overheated classrooms with wet towels covering their heads to absorb heat from their bodies.

How useful is English when trying to communicate with the locals? Some people that have been there told me that I'll have more luck with French rather than English. In any case is it hard to pick some basic phrases in Khmer? What about the writing system? Is it as complicated as Siam? I just don't want to be usual clueless tourist.

Hi all -- I am khmer-american and wanted to research the process for attaining my citizenship in the motherland.

I have photo copies of my parent's passports and I have my cousin who will add me to her family book--we will be doing this in PP. Anything else I should be prepared for? How much tea money should I have handy? How long will the process take?

Also, anyone buy land and built a house and or shophouse or multi-unit complex? In Saigon, there are tall houses with a shop on the bottom and then 3-4 units built on top. Does Cambodia do something like that? How much is range of cost?

Thanks! 🙏

Wondering what this says, it’s an old Tshirt from an Irish bar.

I’m trying to figure out the full list of beer companies that are currently letting you win stuff from the beer tabs. I know Angkor stopped a while back so my current list is;

Ganzberg Anchor Cambodia

Anyone had any winners from other beers recently? I know some soft drinks were doing it for a while too

Good morning!

Besides the obvious, a flight to BKK and then a taxi/bus to Pattaya.

Has anyone ever tried an alternative way via land?

How was the journey? Open to take a pit stop along the way for a night.

Just curious 🤔

Akun 🙏

It’s definitely not very accurate LMAO I did not have a reference

Are there restaurants for Happy pizza or happy anything in Battambang?

Seems like there’s no lack of pizza around but I arrived recently and I’ve been surprised by so little for a tourist-ish city area. I’m hoping to have a happy pizza for lunch soon but getting on another bus after the journey here from Thailand… oof. That’s for another day

Would love recs for well “seasoned” food

What are some fun Cambodian border towns next to Thailand?

New to reddit, trying to find information on an Australian accredited Tesol. Has anyone heard of or used Avse Tesol's online course? They cost a lot but info is limited and they only seem to have high ratings and reviews, just wanted to find out if it's a scam of it's really just as good as the comments say?

While I am still here, I’d like to visit more cities in Cambodia besides the commonly-known Siem Reap, Phnom Penh or Sihanoukville.

What would you recommend and why? What are some sites or spots to visit in that city(s)?

I'm going to Cambodia for a 5-day series of meetings. I'm a Filipino citizen. Do I need a Visa type E, or no visa at all since I'm from ASEAN? Thank you.

I have 30 days tourist visa here in cambodia and i want to upgrade it to business visa ..how dod i fo it ..what are my best options and do i have to exit the contry compulsorily?

Hi guys,

I'm a foreigner currently in Malaysia. My visa here is set to expire in two months, so at the moment I'm exploring options to gain residency elsewhere beyond 6 months - this includes by not working in the country itself. I wouldn't mind doing it with a trusted agent, if needed be.

I was just wondering if there are possibilities to ''buy'' a work permit without having to work in Cambodia - just having to live there?

Or is it one is expected to land a job there, get the docs required and then in attain the WP?

Is it also true that in order to attain a WP, one should have a Business Visa which purchased online or on arrival?

I will appreciate of any assistance or recommendations (of trusted agents), especially for those who had done it before.

Thanks :-)

Hi, I have 2.5 days in siem reap. What would you suggest for visiting angkor wat?

Thanks

Did anyone in pnom penh saw Indonesian police around the embassy of Indonesia?

Hello Everyone,

GF and I are about to make the move to Cambodia for minimum of 6 months after hopping in and out of Thailand for past 8 months. I've stayed in Siem Reap before however only for a week. I'll be working remotely full time for an Australian company. I'm Hoping you could share some local insights for the below points:

Visa

I understand this is relatively straightforward. Enter the country on an ordinary Visa E Class and then extend that for 1,3 or 6 months indefinitely for a fee. Can this be done with any reputable travel agent? Or is it easy enough to process this via the proper government channels?

Apartments

Looks like there's no shortage of rentals here! I really liked the Sala Kamreuk area when I visited and others have suggested Wat Bo. Any other nice / trendy quiet areas I could take a look at? Budget is between $650-$800USD per month.

I intend to get a hotel for just over a week while I do the viewings. I've been looking at IPS Cambodia, realestate.com.kh and Facebook Groups. Any redflags I should be looking for when viewing these apartments?

Groceries / Online Shopping

I see there's a big Makro there as well as other supermarkets like AAA Supermarket and Angkor Market. Do any of these offer a delivery service? I noticed there's a couple of online platforms like delishop and grocertel - any experience using these?

Appreciate any help.

Thank you.

This is my favorite, childhood Cambodian dish and I struggle with perfecting it after so many tries. I am hoping this sub can help me identify ingredients that I am missing for a better, authentic chicken porridge.

So far what I use is: Dried baby shrimp Garlic Jasmine rice (I toast these 3 ingredients and throw it into a the chicken broth after I remove the chicken thighs) I like it simmer for about 40 mins and add the shredded chicken.

I season with bouillon, salt, msg, and sugar. Toppings are green onion, cilantro, black pepper, fried garlic, sriracha, chili oil and fish sauce.

People have told me I’m missing the pork blood but I never liked that. I am certain I am missing other key ingredients. Please help if you can! Willing to try anything.

I moved into an apartment Svay Dangkum about a month ago and everything was fine but for the last four nights someone has been burning something, probably garbage, and my whole apartment smells smokey. Is this something that I can expect every night now?

I have booked a ticket to Siem Reap for december. I have about three weeks to enjoy Cambodia before meeting up with my wife in Vietnam. So far I only have planned out:
3 december arrival at Siem Reap
23 december bus from Phom Penh to Ho Chi Minh

So I kindly ask you for all suggestions of nice places to visit. I plan to spend about 4 days in Siem Reap.
I am interested in local culture, Buddhism and nature. I have ZERO interest in nightlife. I don't drink and I would mostly like to stay away from noisy parties and such. I hope to have an educational and relaxing stay.
I hope it's okay to ask such a broad-ended question, just looking to see if any places/experiences come up from people with actual experience of the country, not the standard travel guides.
