Hi all, I would like to ask if there is any website for online shopping like ebay, amazon, asos, ... in Cambodia. Thanks, Kim
Sometime back, I found www.fado168.com. Supposedly, you can buy amazon products through that site. But, be warned, they are not cheap. Personally, I wouldn't use the company due to the added costs. But, I am sure there are others who would. If ... Read More

I'm new here. Can I live well on $1800 a month in Cebu by chefwayne
Hi,I know his has probably been done to death but I'm new here and need to ask. I've been living in Thailand for a while and now want to move to the Philippines. My question is can I lie well on $1800 a month in Cebu? I don't drink I'm a retired ...
The import duties would be too high, unless you have a 13a and are retiring to the Philippines. Then, you are allowed to bring in one container, duty free. So, unless that is the case, you would be much better off buying a car in the Philippines. Read More

A very flaw and superficial post. As I said there are bars, bar girls, hostesses. If you choose to visit those bars, the girls that work there are supposed to talk to you and maybe get you to spend them a drink. That is their job. But, if you are ... Read More

Hi, I cannot recommend any given city regarding work. I am retired and living in Battambang. But, I would imagine employment would be found easier in Phnom Penh, than anywhere else? Otherwise, it all depends on the person. If you are here and ... Read More

From what I can tell, you will return to Thailand on December 10th. Then, you wish to return to Cambodia again around the end of December? I do not think Tourist visas are "multiple entry". I believe they are only "single ... Read More
