Hello all! I'll be moving to PP next week for work and needless to say I'm ecstatic! I love SE Asia for some reason...I've lived in Vietnam for a year and the Philippines for about 6 years. I've heard many good things about PP.

All ye PP veterans, so which areas are good to live? I heard the Russian Market. BKK3, and Toul Kork are good areas to live in...

Any other advice is welcome...!

Cheers!

Hello Hmanh,

Nice to see your going to be moving over here. Im currently living in BKK1 and its really nice. Close to coffee shops, marts, and schools. Its about a 5 minute walk to the independence monument.

I've been living here in Cambodia on and off since 1996, If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to drop a message in my inbox.

best of luck,

Patrick

Tonle Khmer is cheap and overlooks the river just north of FCC and the pizza restaurants, south of Kwest and next to Daughters of Cambodia Visitor Centre.

No-one else expressed interest yet..
