Is 1000$ per month enough to live in Siem reap or Kampot as a family of 4?

I’m planning to move to Siem Reap or Kampot (or Battambang, it’s still in our list) this year. With a family of 4, my 2 kids are already in school. We exclude our kids’ tuition from our monthly budget of $1000. I’m not sure if it’s enough or how much more we could add to our monthly budget.

What are some of the biggest attributes of Cambodian culture?

Curious as a young American male

EDIT: I’m curious about everyday Cambodian lifestyle. Everyday interactions, and that kinda thing. My father’s Croatian, and in Slavic culture, nobody says ‘hi’ or interacts on the sidewalk. That kinda thing lmao

Durian tips

I’ll be in Cambodia from mid May until late May. I’m splitting time between PP, Siem Reap, and Krong Kampot. Durian is a big motivator for this trip so I wanted to check with y’all for tips/advice on how to really get the full durian experience. Some starter questions:

  • how can I find Cambodian-grown durian? (I’ll eat imported too but want to try home-grown at least once)
  • can I visit a durian farm somewhere near one of those 3 cities? What’s the process for visiting?
  • are there any unique preparations or dishes involving durian I should try to find?
  • I’ll visit the durian statue in Kampot. Are there any other durian art / monuments I should look for?
  • anything else a durian lover should know while visiting?

Cheap temple to stay on Cambodia?

Does anyone knows a temple, retreat or anywhere in the middle of nowhere in Cambodia that doesn’t cost too much? I’m talking around 15€ a night, and I would happily do some helping and working there…

Vietnam vs Cambodia Cost of Living

Greetings,

I've spent a couple of winters in Vietnam and loved it. So much so I am considering trying to move there, visa issues notwithstanding. Before I do, I'd like to look at Cambodia and Thailand, which I've only been to on short visits. Can anyone tell me what it would cost a month to live a fairly comfortable life in Phnom Penh?

For me, a comfortable life would mean a fully serviced 1 bedroom apartment in a clean building, western bathroom/shower, lots of restaurants/street food, and a gym membership.

Greatly appreciated.

Affiliate Marketing

Does anyone do this while living in Cambodia, I recently came across a lot of content about how you can make online income through doing affiliate marketing but to me it seems to be more of a western world thing . Does it work at all in Cambodia

Health Insurance 70+

Hello again,

I've been searching the internet for health insurance that is not only valid for the first 45 days or costs €1,000 a month and accepts people over 70 years old. I got in touch with Forte, but 70 is too old.

Do any expats here know of a good and reasonably priced insurance? Maybe another cambodian insurance? Do I actually need one, or could I just pay when I need to visit a doctor?

Thank you in advance!

CAMPUCHIA : SỐC VÌ BỊ ĐÒI TIỀN XNC TRẮNG TRỢN

CAMPUCHIA : SỐC VÌ BỊ ĐÒI TIỀN XNC TRẮNG TRỢN

Mấy hôm nay ồn ào vụ Cam kẹ mie Việt Nam phản ứng vẫn tiếp tục dự án kênh đào Phù Nam. Đồng thời mềnh cũng vừa mới có việc đi Cam về thấy nhiều chuyện nên chia sẻ cho những ai chưa biết.

Trước đại dịch, từ Saigon đi PP mua vé xe bus chỉ 10 đô/chiều, mua vé khứ hồi thì chỉ 19 đô bao hết dịch vụ qua cửa khẩu 2 nước. Sau đại dịch thì mọi thứ thay đổi dữ dội vật giá leo cao và giữ luôn giá đến nay. Giá vé bus 1 chiều là 520k khứ hồi là 960k bao phí cửa khẩu 2 bên. Do team mềnh đi 6 người nên tính ra thuê xe 7 chỗ chở đi qua tới PP rẻ hơn mà tiện vì đón tận nơi chủ động giờ giấc lại xe Highlander êm ái. Nhưng phải tự lo chi phí 2 cửa khẩu. Do lâu rồi toàn đi bus có dv lo, lần này phải tự đóng dấu xnc cả 2 bên nên mềnh bị sốc nặng.

Mềnh đi ngay dịp lễ 30/4 nên khá đông người VN đi du lịch. Bên cửa khẩu Mộc Bài Việt Nam, do team mềnh pp Việt Nam nên được khuyên trước là ko kẹp gì cũng ko sao nhưng đông quá thì nên gửi mấy anh mỗi pp 1 2 ly cafe muối để qua cho nhanh.

Qua đến nhập cảnh Bavet Cam, mềnh nhập cảnh đầu tiên, pp mềnh đi tá lả Sing Mã Indo Thái mấy chục dấu, mềnh không kẹp gì thử xem sao. Thằng (gọi nó là thằng vì thái độ quá láo xược của nó) hải quan Cam vừa mở pp ra không thấy gì liền kêu ngay money money cùng cái tay giơ lên ra hiệu đếm xẹt xẹt. Mà thiệt ko thể ngờ trong cửa khẩu camera tá lả mà nó nói lớn và làm vậy luôn. Nhớ hoài cái kiểu của nó kêu money và giơ bàn tay đếm tiền lên, là thằng ngồi line ngoài cùng bên trái.Xong tiếp tục nó nói to rõ bằng tiếng Việt "200 ngàn". Mà nó chứ qua nó chơi đem đô la qua nó du lịch mà bị đối xử vòi tiền vậy luôn. Moá thiệt chứ lúc đó mà ko có dẫn 5 người đi theo là mềnh quay về lại VN rồi, và cũng là đi kết hợp công việc không bỏ được. May cha tài xế trước khi bỏ xuống đã đưa cái card casino và dặn kỹ rồi nếu bị đòi quá thì đưa cái card này ra nói tao qua casino đánh bài chiều về rồi. Xong mềnh làm y vậy nói nó 100k người 5 người 500k thôi. Thì nó nhìn nhìn ngó nghiêng cả đám( do cũng là đi làm nên ko ăn mặc diem dúa như đi du lịch) rồi ok. Mà đm ghét cái kiểu ánh mắt nó nhìn nhìn team mình kinh khủng, làm như dân VN là công dân hạng bét qua nó đi ăn xin ko bằng. Mà đm chưa hết, vừa qua xong của xnc là đến cái bàn dài thằng áo xanh đòi xét pp 6 người xong đòi mỗi người 100k nữa. Cái đm muốn chửi nó luôn định chửi wtf rồi xong bạn đi chung nói thôi anh đi đi lỡ việc. Nên nói nó tao còn 100k 6 người dc ko thì nó ok luôn. Moá trong cửa khẩu camera cả đám hải quan mà đòi tiền trắng trợn, mà nhìn passport Việt Nam kiểu coi thường éo ra gì. Còn lúc quay về xuất cảnh khỏi tụi nó cũng đòi tiền luôn, 100k 1 pp ko có thì nó ngâm pp đoa hoài ko chịu đóng dấu xuất cảnh. Mie nó không biết nhờ công ơn của ai đây nữa.

Authentic Fish Amok recipe

Hey guys, I lived in Phnom Penh for a few years and fish amok is literally one of my favorite dishes i’ve had there. Where I live there are barely any Khmer restaurants and none of them have it on their menu. What would be an authentic recipe for it? I’ve been craving it so much and would love to learn how to make it

Visiting Cambodia for five weeks

Hey. I'm 36M from Sweden and spontaneously bought a return ticket to PP for five weeks, traveling solo. I've read up on the visa and such so that's okay. I'm going in less than three weeks and I don't like to plan. I'm not really a party guy but staying at hostel seems to be a much better option than staying alone at a hotel. Is mad monkey too much of a party place?

Is there something else I should think about before going and are there some other things you recommend? My plan is just to go to PP, Angkor Wat and see what will happen. I'm a bit afraid of feeling lonely and not having fun!?

Exchange or withdrawal from atm instead?

Travelling to Phnom penh soon, would I be able to exchange SGD to USD at a bred bank branch ?

Or would it be better to just withdraw money from the atm for a small fee instead ?

Paying respect in Phnom Penh

Hi all, hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I'm arriving in Phnom Penh in a few days, researching where to go and how best to pay respects to monks. A dear friend passed away some years ago in Phnom Penh, the local monks came to his room and performed a ceremony. This has brought me so much comfort, knowing even far away from home people cared.

I got ‘this’ 8 years ago…

…while I was traveling through Cambodia and se asia with my then-girlfriend, now-wife M and very best friend N. We were all 25 and it was the best and like The Beach but not depressing

I know it’s not Cambodia but wasn’t The Beach just kind of a bummer? Like who loves that movie lol. Big The Beach rewatcher lol

Anyways, here’s the thing - ‘this’ is a lighter.

Don’t stop reading, I know it’s the lamest of pretty much anything that it could have been.

Look I just loved that lighter when I saw it again after so long and had great memories with it that I just couldn’t remember…

plus it lit a candle and a joint tonight first try like it never left

But, I just really just want to know what the words on the lighter in Khemer say in English now.

PS (huge PS) if the language isn’t Khmer - blanket apologies to all the nations of se asia

Thats it that’s all. Just curious. Let me know if you know.

If you’re out there traveling, you’re lucky and doing it right.

Transportations from Sisophon to Poipet?

Hi folks. I came across an old news about the opening of a railway connecting Sisophon to Poipet , but I'm unsure if the train service is still operational. Can anyone confirm if the train is still running?

I would also appreciate any insights on other transportations available. Are there any public buses? Or, is it easy to find Grab taxi or Tuktuk there?

I'm open to any suggestions or recommendations, thanks!
