Thanks Joe, Direct as usual. What a bloody pain in the arse, but if you don't mind I might make your response the one I send my poor bloody clients. 🤟 Read More

Garden Shop or Farming Supply in or Near Siem Reap
Hi fellow expats, I'm trying to find somewhere that sells garden supplies such as lime, blood & bone, potting mix, as well as orchids, cycads, euphorbias etc. My main interest is in obtaining soil amendments so we can grow peppers, ... Read More
Expat interest in politics in Cambodia by Bhavna
Hello everyone, As an expat, your day-to-day life in Cambodia is impacted by decision-making at the political level in your host country as well as in your country of origin. We would like to know how involved you think expats should be in the ...
Fred, I bow to you! Only an Englishman could such use gentle words as lethally as a bushi gives his short sword the cutting power of his katana. Well said sir! As I strive to rant & rage, anarchically stinging all, from my etymological hive, you ... Read More

Not if you spend $100 a year on world leading VPN tech & use a Tor browser. ISPs couldn't tell them where you are or where you've been, even with a blowtorch to their feet. You got to be smart to survive with an honest point of view in ... Read More
Vehicle Import Loopholes & unavoidable realitys in the Kingdom by Buddhasmafia
I left behind a beautifully maintained '85 Chevy pickup when I moved here on a fulltime basis in May. This isn't a K30 or a Silverado, it has a non civilian designation- M1008[9]CUCV. My wife has become convinced I love this truck only a ...
More like this, in fact, this IS my one. Cut & paste into ... Read More

Your compliment humbles me, however I'll accept it only for writing well. My personal overview of regional history is no work of art, just a personally opinionated point making exercise about how the political history in the region & ... Read More

Thank you for those kind words sir. On the rare occasions I offer my thoughts on this forum, the moderators get nervous. Although I've never been treated with anything but respect by them, they do warn me that the longevity of my [published] ... Read More

Try talking politics with an average Cambodian. Most of them will either very bluntly & obviously change the subject or stop talking to you completely. As an expat, of course I hold my own views on politics in this country, however as Kampuchea ... Read More
Counterfeit money by Buddhasmafia
Anybody heard reports of dodgy/counterfeit/stolen Eastern European banknotes circulating around PP? It could be genuine but one of the Viets in my neighbourhood just asked me to convert a D100,000 1993 Croatian Dinar. According to the exchange sites ...
You have to take your hat off to them when it comes to creative hustles. Toughie for me is that I'm the only barang in a very Vietnamese enclave in peripheral PP. They're lovely people, but there seems to be an unwritten rule that I'd be ... Read More

According to your source, which is one of an overwhelming variety that I periodically amused myself reading in between counting passing Honda Dreams today. I've got more positive things to do than argue with you over the possible monetary return ... Read More

Actually, we both stand corrected Joe: in your case its not totally worthless, in mine, its not worth 15k. The problem lies in most currency converters (including XE) still valuing Dinar as Kuna. Looks to be worth between $15-$70USD. I wasn't ... Read More

Actually Joe, I checked it out; it's a '93, collectable & valued at $15354USD. Read More
