Cambodian-American Refugees by JoostDesigns
I know that the past is a sad one for the Khmer people of Cambodia and they have seen and experienced horrible things. Many of the survivors were brought to America and many have gotten into some kind of trouble with American law resulting in ...

Grocery Store Experiences by marukai47
I'd like to get an overall feeling of what people think of the various grocery chains in Phnom Pehn. I've only been to Aeon and Lucky so far, but I rode by a Thai Huot on the way home from Soriya Mall, which is where I had my first ...

I am planning on going to Cambodia in September of 2016, I'll be 29 by then with a TEFL 120 Hour Certificate. The last year has seen my life turned upside down and I think I just need to get back to basics and take myself out of my comfort zone. ...

Business Visa at PP airport by Bob744
Hello Everyone, has anyone gotten a one month business visa lately at the airport ? I heard that joining the ASEAN has prompted more scrutiny from KH authorities. How is the renewal process changed ? Is it as easy as before ? thanks!
