Honestly..I've never watched an expat apartment hunter video where I liked all of the available units for rent. Just amazing on the price and also only the quality of craftsmanship and cleanliness. After the Kia virus is gone..it's hello cambodia..^)
All of the units were absolutely stunning... each were so unique and the price was so fair!!! In the end we loved being higher up and the patio was huge and beautiful!!!!
Stayed in Cambodia for a month in January and thinking of a future move maybe in a few years time (we are currently in China). This video was really helpful, so thanks Julia
New apartments in Siem Reap at ST Residence from 250 to 500, right off HWY 6 on SFPDA road just down from Angkor Market, pool, gym, play area avaiable, parking and British manager, great for brangs
Please show and point out all AC units....very important in all those hot,himid places. I live in Fl, and I'd go nowhere that did not have AC in living area and all bedrooms.
Cambodia’s re-opening is set to be done in phases with Sihanoukville and the Koh Kong Islands on the Gulf of Thailand being the first provinces to open. Travellers who wish to visit are required to present proof they have been fully vaccinated, have a valid PCR test and a pre-booked hotel confirmation. After a 5 day stays you will be allowed to travel freely in Cambodia. Siem Reap province is set to re-open as the second quarantine-free province on 1 of January 2022 as part of the program. Similarly, after 5-day stay travellers are free to continue and visit other destinations unrestricted throughout Cambodia.
Showing your excitement that its so cheap...trust me thenext bloke will be charged 500+...never show ur reaction to price...general asia advice. Cool video...cheers!!
Oh wow. No. Please don't spend that type of money on rent. You'll find once you arrive you won't make that much money if you are working from there. Also, it doesn't make sense. You can live very well and find a place for max $250. I'd suggest something with WiFi, FULLY furnished with the kitchenware, and looking in Sala Kamreuk. Also, be mindful that air-con and electricity tend to be high in SR, and will add a good $30-50 to your rent if it's not included. xo Good luck!!!!
@@juliahaw Thanks,I don't plan to work while I'm there,I chose Cambodia as my place to retire at a young age because if I can live off $1000 I'm set for the next 70 years.

Yeah It's costly for the air conditioning as you really need It on all night long and sometimes It's a little noisy unless It's of good quality, then you'll have the Gas , and bottled water costs and be aware the Chinese are buying a lot and pushing up prices and taking over lots of business and the locals are losing out because of this , so It won't be a good place too actually retire in the future as It will become expensive, right now you'd acutely need around a thousand US, dollars a month to live pretty comfortably as a foreigner that's eating out every day at a restaurant and socialising in the evening, if you are doubting my advice about the Chinese invasion just checkout what the locals are saying about kampong Som (Sihanoukville ) with the casinos and the violence on UA-cam just always better to be informed, nothing personal as the country and the Khmer people are wonderful and one of my favourite countries in the world 🌎 I would recommend It still to anyone who loves a sense of adventure, but please do your homework before listening to my thoughts as we are all individuals with different opinions , I lived there for 3 years and will definitely go back one day as my personal stay was a wonderful time 🙏
They are closets in each room in this apartment. I'm sorry I didn't review them! They are medium sized - good for a smaller amount of clothes. :) Thank you for watching!
Don't I know it. I still am dreaming of Siem Reap. I haven't been able to get back after I'd gone to India last March and was evacuated by the US. Cambodia was closed to US citizens. My partner and I are waiting it out here in the US... the situation in Cambodia is very dire right now. It's sad.
@@juliahaw Awe you're kidding me? I know India is CRAZY right now, So Cambodia is still in a bad situation? Lock down and such? I've been trying to find places to go (as I don't have a bachelors) Cambodia seemed perfect, Would of done my studies there! :(
Hi Julia add 150$-200$ on top of that price for electricity. Can you tell us more how it was living in that apartment and the extra cost in $ for utilities
@@juliahaw Yes cambodia utilities are expansive. You can find a good cheap house but the utilities are going to increase the price. When i rented a house for around 390$, when the utility bill came in it was an extra 200$. Using a washing machine and running the AC during hot humid days + the fridge.
@@wallstbets4865 The problem is they are still building without insulation. So the brock walls and concrete floors all heat up during the day and need all night to cool down a bit. I just bought a house in Phnom Oenh and will be getting solar on the roof.I'm also looking into adding insulation to the walls, which is a bit challenging when the building is already done.
@@mick-berry5331 Yes the way they construct the building in Cambodia they do not bother with insulation against the heat , so hot humid air will get in the apartment/house the whole day. Risky business buying a house in dictatorship country. I had an acquaintance in Siem reap who got his house demolished after the government claimed part of a land even though he had his property title which has no value if the government decides to take a land piece...
Why do all the detached houses have high outside walls and gates and why are all the windows covered in metal bars like prison cells. Regards Ron living in a small French village with zero crime in 14 years.
@@lifeuncommon1116 Very true, I have lived 16 years in small village in central Finistere. Zero crime here during that time. Also now Zero Covid 19 in the commune. Never any traffic jam except caused by agricultural convoy.
Paul, it's pretty close actually -- so I'd say yes, if the timing is just right!! I'd give yourself maybe two days for the whole process if you're really speeding things up. But honestly, we chose one and the next day signed the papers! In the meantime I'd suggest you find a cheap hotel -- max $20 while you're searching! Are you heading to PP or SR?
@@juliahaw I'm looking at PP, but that's not for 3 years. I have to be 55 to come on a retiree visa. Since I have my SSDI and will have to cut off my Part B, I'll have $2,295 I can work with from SS plus another $300+ from my early retirement. From watching the two of you shopping for a home or apartment I was in awe at what I saw. Plus I'll be coming alone anyway. By the way, the health insurance there, I heard it was like $30 per month, is that true? Also, I don't mind paying the extra $50 a month for electricity for using my A/C. I can't be hot. Is that the max it goes up, $50?? Thanks for responding.
i find myself not liking those long bumpy rides into town for groceries and other stuff, i prefer something really in town and also good internet in town, how far were you from the town please ? i have tended to look for places in the philipiines
The walk into town was approximately 10-15 minutes. The internet would cut out at times... so a bit spotty, but most of the time it was good! We had a health food store right across the road from our apartment too, so a very limited walk for fresh produce. :)
Daniel, you're absolutely right. We realized that in the end. Next time we head to Cambodia we will definitely get a cheaper place!!! The apartment we chose was in a good location, but too much cost and too much space!! haha who knew!!!
Wow!!! I've actually heard that electric bills in Cambodia are pretty darn high. It really caught me off guard!!! It would be a nice feeling to crank that AC high and just ride with it! haha!
Hi James. You would thrive then in Siem Reap. There all smaller, fully furnished apartments. In hindsight, I would 100% go that route. Next time I go to Siem Reap I will get a much cheaper and smaller apartment.
I watched a few of his videos when he was living in Cambodia. I couldn't get on board with his out-there politics, but overall I thought he was pretty interesting. I don't think he's making content anymore, right?
Cambodia is now ready to reboot its tourism and welcome fully vaccinated tourists quarantine free if they stay at least five days in designated areas starting from 30 November 2021.
@@juliahaw Thank you. Perhaps our paths will cross one day. My strongest connections are in Thailand (wife). However, I do not want to tie up money in Thai bank account to satisfy their retirement Visa requirements. So, that means leaving Thailand for periods of time.
@@juliahaw Aloha, because of the plandemic and other issues, I am not in Thailand presently. I have not seen my wife in over a year. I have called the Big Island of Hawaii home since 1983. I can live pretty cheaply here as I have always owned property and house here. I have ALWAYS remained out of debt and owe no many to anyone. My back boundary on my 7 acres is a large forest reserve. Never have hooked up to "their" power, sewer, water, cable, satellite, etc. Provide what I need for myself. I moved here a long time ago after discovering I could grow fruits and vegetables year round here. Over 33 years with the National Park Service. Anyway... long winded. To actually answer your question... She has a small house in her community (not far from rice farm she grew up on) of Chaiyaphum "city" (small). Chyiaphum is in the province of Chaiyaphum which is central Thailand. It is of the Issan culture.
I wouldn't know because I haven't yet been to the Philippines! My only wish is that Siem Reap was by a large body of water. There is the river and Tonle Sap Lake, but I miss the ocean.
I’m curious... does the guy in the video ever say anything without being prompted? His lack of interest/excitement killed any vibe this video was going for ... life of the party I guess and hungover.
Well this comment is quite passive and impolite. If you mean my partner, his name is Blair and he's a very chill guy. He also prefers not to be on camera so much, so I respect that. He's an amazing person. Also, judging by the views on the video, I'm thankful many others have watched and enjoyed! Cheers!
Loved the tour of all the available rentals… thank you. One comment tho… the camera work is so very choppy, chaotic, and frantic it’s like someone with ADHD is recording - To make better video try to calm down, breathe deeply, relax, and pan more slowly and steadily to allow the viewer to actually see something before jerking their attention to this thing, that thing, the next thing, the next thing, and oh that and this and well that too. Doing good hand-held video requires the camera person to at least try to be steady and organized. Perhaps you felt stressed and were just rushing about to find a place qui qui - and if so that really comes across loud and clear. Deep breaths help. Good luck in your new home.
Thank you -- I've heard several comments like this. Perhaps I was VERY excited in this video. A few months ago I started using a tripod a lot more -- which reduces shaking than when I hold the camera only with my hand. I appreciate the feedback! I'll be back in cambodia later this year and look forward to making more content there!
@@juliahaw - Thank YOU for sharing your experience actually. I was hesitant to say anything bcoz I was sure I would sound rude and I hope you know I was not trying to be so.

I’ve been reading lately that Cambodia is quite the desirable destination for English-speaking travelers. If only the pandemic would wind down we could all dust off our passports and get in line again. Be well.
@@noahjuanjuneau9598 Oh wow. I thought my situation was difficult. When I was in India in March of 2020, I was banned from re-entry into Cambodia after having JUST moved there!

You are 100% right. In hindsight I would have gone with a much different setup of an apartment, lower in price. :)
Oh god the shoes😖😖
Eek! My apologies for not falling in line with this custom. I think it didn't cross my mind on account they were empty apartments.
Take your shoes off before you lay down on the bed.
Hahaha, $400 US is so cheap but most people over there make less than $200 per month .
Absolutely. You're right... or, much less than $200. The situation is difficult to witness right now.
She needs to learn to hide her excitement; that’s no way to get a better deal. She’s leaving a lot of money 💵 on the table acting like everything is a great deal.
haha You could be right about this one... in hindsight I'd rent a cheaper place next time!
Thank you for the advice. I too wasn’t aware of that but now will keep that in mind when hunting for a place in Cambodia. :-)
Do any of you so called tubers actually work and do a full day of work ?
haha! Do any of you so called trolls do something else aside of leave toxic comments like this?
Actually I do work dude 🤨 - not swanning around searching for clicks
@@user-ep3ck5re4o haha and what constitutes that your job is a "real" job? I also direct a gallery here in Siem Reap, lead a yoga class, personal train, and design liquor labels -- as well as sell my paintings for over a decade. So which job is "real" again?
Great a real job - must visit your gallery when I am in Siem again.
@@user-ep3ck5re4o Finally, some positivity! LMK when you visit.
Ideal for house for burglars
Stop spinning around in circles with the video camera. I was getting a headache & was NOT able to see what you thought you were showing!
I'm planning on filming more slowed down content the next time i go out apartment hunting! Cheers!
Thailand's way better Chiang Mai it's unbelievable
I'd LOVE to visit Chiang Mai!!! It's on my list!!!
Agreed
Stay with a gated community/condo with 24/7 security or you're eventually going to get robbed just as soon as you head to town.
i think someone have to teach you how to ''video'' slower ..!
I'm much better at taking video now. Thanks for the input!
Really bad video it makes me feel nauseous from the gonstant and erratic movements.
I hear you and I'd like to work on that in my future content. Have a beautiful day!
Wow o wow and peoples are starving to death
It's very sad the situation. This video was taken pre-pandemic.
What is your point?
@@TheBramVC my point is peoples can afford living so luxiorsly and some people cannot even afford a meal in lock down that's my point
@@lucianyolmo8492 I truly hear your Lucian. I have donated my money where I can for the situation in Cambodia. I'm now living back in the US while things settled down... and living in a van.
Zoom out a bit please.......so difficult to watch, i had to stop
Always a work in progress!
