Shopping in Siem Reap by Armand

Hello dear members, I guess this could be an interesting topic. I invite all members in Siem Reap (both locals & expats) to share their daily/weekly/monthly experience about shopping. You may also include some shopping tips/suggestions! So can ...

Living in Cambodia and possibility to get a Retirement Visa there by schauerte

Hi, I am looking for the possibility to get a Retirement Visa for Cambodia. What are the requirements. I have a Retirement Visa in Thailand , lived here since 2002, married for 23 years to a Thai national and I am on the run for safety as I am ...

I know for Thai, you need to be over 50 years of age and prove that you have 800,000$ USD in the bank or something for a retirement Visa ..I'm actually not sure if that was USD or Baht but i think USD, as I have discussed this with people I met who ... Read More

my tip is always BARGAIN! always.. you can shave off 30 to 50% if you out heckle the sales person. Also if you buy more you can always heckle a bit more down like some sort of wholesale price. basically things that are 18$ you can probably get ... Read More

Visiting Cambodia by netyoda

Hi, My friend and I are planning to visit Cambodia for 2-8 weeks in October with a view to permanent residence. Can anybody suggest a good play to stay? Area, hotel, guest house etc? My friend will be looking for a job possibly teaching English ...

Van

mmm well everyone I know would tell you to go to sihanoukville. I think I stayed at a place called the beach club while I was there but that was 3 years ago (any place with a fresh water pool is recommended). Most places you can find a variation of ... Read More

yeah visas arent always easy as 1 2 3, but Bangkoks hospital care is decently up to par.. so Thailand would or should have been the first option. anyways, unless you have some sort of long term relationship with the person then I wouldnt trust it. ... Read More

I'm really confused myself. The first place I would think of is Thailand for closest 'best' medicare. In either case tread carefully.. just from a common sense perspective it seems way too sketchy. Read More
