Has anyone done this successfully recently? I know there is VFS global that help with the process. But just wondering if anyone ever gets rejected after paying the fees and booking the flights etc. thanks. I plan to take my partner for a few weeks.

I recently came back to Cambodia after a year away (don't think it is relevant but thought I might mention it in case it is). When i try to pay with the ABA app scanning another ABA QR code it usually doesn't work. I get a message saying "the transaction amount exceeds your transaction limit" As far as I can see both the transaction limits are above $100 when I look at "cards" on the app. Is there another place to change the scanning limit that I might have set lower at some point?

I have gone to ABA three times now and they have me send them $0.01 and then say everything is fine. Then I go to scan and pay for something that is $10 and I get the message again.

Hi!!!! I am a 23 yrsold university student who also work a full time job to support myself and my parents. Lately, I have been feeling really stress out and experiencing a Burnout. I genuinely want to escape this life for a while and I wanted to go to work in Koh Rong island for 4 months starting from May( my contracts at work ends on April while my school semester end on early April.). I would love it if you know any business that is hiring for a new employee.......Thank you🙏

I have a bus booked with Go Ho Travel tomorrow but Grab and Google Maps have different addresses for the Siem Reap office. Does anyone know where it is now?

Where are some places to chill and read for non-students in the city?

Looking for somewhere quiet with comfortable seating, that I can stay in for a few hours. Totally ok with buying a drink/snack if needed

Brilliant song. But I only hear the female version played, which imo is way better. However it’s not on any streaming platforms?! Where are they playing it from?

I have a hard rule of tipping 20% no matter what I purchase, whether it’s at a restaurant or a coffee shop, in the U.S. or abroad. However, my friends—some of whom are Cambodian American—keep telling me I’m overtipping and that it could cause problems down the line. I’m not sure what they mean by that. Is there any validity to what they’re saying?

I wonder if you can recommend any good hotels in Siem Reap with pools suitable for "serious" swimming?

I am moving to phnom penh in 6 months and would like to know others experiences with the government monitoring system.

Has anyone ran in to trouble with the authorities being able to monitor what you privately view on the internet from your personal devices? According to some Google searches, all internet usage is funneled through a government portal so everything can be tracked and monitored by the government. That being said i understand laws like speaking out agaisnt the government is illegal as well as possesion and distribution of pornography.

What are the odds of getting in trouble for viewing any explicit material using your own devices privately in your own apartment? Regardless if it's porn or if it's explicit artwork from a professional artist like shibari or nude portraits for example.

Also has anyone had any email, bank account, or social media tampering because of how the cambodian government has internet usage set up?

Any experiences, info, and insight is greatly appreciated.

Cambodia got a nice coastline with some beautiful beaches and nice geographical positions, but they're not growing to anywhere near their fullest potential, why is that the case?

Hi everyone! I would like to ask how is it traveling to Cambodia while pregnant? Just worried about food safety and mosquitoes. Been to Cambodia before but was not pregnant.

Thanks!

Hey, I just arrived here today on my ones. (British 32M) Zero plans. Anyone else in the same boat and want to explore together?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for almond or coconut syrup in Siem Reap—the kind you mix with milk or coffee. It’s a concentrated liquid flavoring, not thick like a paste, but more like a flavored syrup.

I’ve checked a few supermarkets but haven’t found any yet. I’d love to buy a locally made product to support local businesses. Does anyone know where I could find something like this? Maybe a specialty store or a supplier for cafés and restaurants?

Thanks for your help!

Hi we are currently in Thailand and planning to go to Cambodia by a bus. We were going to get an e-visa but then I saw videos that e-visas only work if you travel by air and since we’re travelling by land we will need to get a visa on arrival? Very confused and nervous as to what we do and I’ve been emailing the government for days and no answer

Can somebody tell what are the rules or the name of the game so I can check the rule.

We’re 2 backpackers looking for a half day tourist guide driver

Hi everyone! I'm looking to buy an original Seiko watch in Bangkok and was wondering if anyone has recommendations for where to purchase one. I’ve heard about some reliable stores in the city, but I’d like to know if there are any shops offering a good selection of models, maybe even some that are harder to find in Europe.

Also, are there any Seiko models specific to the Asian market that might not be available in Italy? I’d love to hear about anyone's experiences with this.

Thanks in advance!

Any suggestions on the fastest way to get to Chi phat from Battambang?

Hello I was wondering if anyone has any advice on English speaking hospitals or clinics in the city? I'm worried I have a skin infection but really unsure what to do as I've heard healthcare here isn't very good and I won't be in bangkok for another 3 days. I'm quite worried right now so would really appreciate some help. Thanks in advance

I just arrived for 2+ days here. Would love to meet locals or travelers and enjoy this paradise.

my partner (KH) and i (SG) are currently in a Long Distance Relationship (LDR), for coming to 2 years, and we love each other dearly but the distance is not doing it for us. We are looking to the possibility of having him work in Singapore (the money is better, of course), even for just a short time, but have no idea on how to go about this . He is university educated but knowing Singapore, it might not mean much. He is willing to explore most industries.

From my preliminary research, Currently there are not too many KH ppl in Singapore to my knowledge, (most are from PH, MYN, Viet, Indo, due to the quotas allowed for certain nationalities in certain industries). Ive only encountered 1 older lady who works in retail (and has already married a SGrean for years) and see online that there may be KH students in SMU. I'm really curious how any Khmer person can begin to work or stay in Singapore, if any.

Some questions that are on my mind.. if anyone would like to respond: What were some of your first steps ? What professions did you choose? What passes do you have? What was your experience like? Or if one wanted to stay in Singapore for an extended period of time, what did yall do to make this happen?

This is a lot to ask, but i appreciate all and any responses, we are simply trying get a better understanding of our options now.

Finished uni at late 2023 and officially graduated in Jul 2024 which was last year. Had some random works during uni from uni ambassador, a 3 month internship in marketing (gained nothing) and ended up working in hospitality right now while figuring out what’s next.

Any ideas or suggestions would help here.

1. Do you think it’s a good idea to move back to Cambodia for a 9-5 job? How would the opportunity like for a recent graduate i would say that has some gaps year in work experience, given a 1.5 year studies and the rest was on random work types.

2. My employer in UK hopefully they’re willing to sponsor me for a visa to continue working for them as i do lots of stuff from office administration tasks including HR up to staff training ( I am responsible for the whole business operation as well meaning I have to do it myself for most of the time). But again, i doubt it’s not related to my experience and knowledge. If you were to put on my shoes, how would you react, given the fact that you fear to lose your opportunity towards a first world citizenship in the coming years but you also feel regretful for not being able to use your knowledge from your degree as well as your desire of career.

Sometimes you have to sacrifice for something you don’t like. How do you think?
