New members of the Costa Rica forum, introduce yourselves here - 2022 by Julien
Hi all, Newbie on the Costa Rica forum? Don't know how to start? This thread is for you ;) We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country, or to tell us more ...
@surfdog12 Probably just unlucky. I have been to and driven in quite a few countries (3rd world/ developing countries) with corruptible police, but never experienced that or similar before. Read More

HI everyone, I feel a little out of place here. I am a single 73 year old male Brit, retired for 8 years - last job (one of many) a teacher. I have spent my winters mostly in SE Asia, but also in Central and South America and New Zealand. Of ... Read More
Moving to Costa Rica solo by Cheryl
Hello everybody, Moving to Costa Rica is a challenge in itself, but even more when you decide to go alone. If this was your case when you arrived, we would like you to share your experience. It might help other people who are also preparing for ...
I am a single 73 year old male Brit. Pre pandemic, I spent the winters in SE Asia - mostly Thailand but often having a break in other countries in the area. I have been to Costa Rica once - about 5 years ago. I was scammed/ ripped off twice (once by ... Read More
Common misconceptions and clichés about life in Cambodia by Priscilla
Hello everyone, Old clichés die hard, as the saying goes... and living in Cambodia can generate lots of misconceptions in the eyes of the people. What are the most common misconceptions about the expat lifestyle in Cambodia? What are the ...
@JoeKhmer Why do you have to say "if u don't like it, move somewhere else or you don't fit here?" Don't you think this is a bit negative too as u mentioned about another post?! This is a forum where you give your opinion about ... Read More
Crime in Sihanoukville by les64
I have been here 11 years. Historically I have been aware that the predominant crime occurred in neighborhoods to the right of the road going from the Vietnam Embassy to Victory Hill (I will describe as many do not know local names). I lived there ...
I would appreciate that and maybe Kep (which used to be a resort for affluent Cambodians before the Pol Pot killing fields era). Read More

Sounds like you think the same as me - these guys are painting a picture that suggests a lot of crime - more than Pattaya which I know well. I want a quieter and more pleasant place than Pattaya, but it seems like Sihanoukville is not it. I ... Read More

Got to say you guys are painting a very dark picture of Cambodians! It's become less and less tempting to me to spend winters in Snooky! Read More
PLEASE DONT BELIEVE ALL YOU READ IN THESE POSTS. by les64
There a lot of well intentioned people contributing to these forums but the information varies from outright nonsense to having some element of truth. Some of the participants sound like newly weds on honeymoon who don't yet understand what ...
This is very good advice and pretty much the same all over SE Asia. I'm more familiar with Thailand which is perhaps (?) not as extreme as you say about Cambodia, especially when it comes to property (unless you are daft enough to put it in the ... Read More

That is worrying. I have been considering spending winters (UK) in Snooky. I spent last winter in Pattaya living on pleasant estate (Condos) next to Soi Buakhao in the heart of the bars - although very quiet where I was. Lots of people (every day) ... Read More
Good doctors/hospitals in Phnom Penh that do not cost a lot of money. by kenmac1
Hi I just want to know if anyone knows any good doctors/hospitals in Phnom Penh that do not cost a lot of money. I have a 2 year old daughter with my Cambodian wife who is sick on average 1 to 2 times a month where she is feverish,sore throat and ...
Have you tried SOS? They are a little expensive by Cambodian standards, but very cheap for those of us used to paying Western prices. I had two doctor visits, a ton of blood work, urine analysis, and ultra sound, and it was about $300. In the US it ... Read More
Considering Sihanoukville by motoguzzibob
Hi I have little knowledge of Sihanoukville. I've been only to Phnom Penh and Siam Reap. I have been to Thailand (all over) many times, often Pattaya. I understand that Sihanoukville is a more genteel, relaxed Pattaya. There is a night life (with ...
Thanks for the welcome, Armand. Do you have a general reply to my questions? Or is it best just search the site? Thanks Read More
