Living in Phnom Penh I can find any kind of food I want. I love Tex-Mex and we have many restaurant choices for that, and being from Texas, I found a Texas BBQ restaurant. All the restaurants where I have tried the western style foods have been very good. For me, it's just like being in the US, minus the political climate and high cost of living. I had 2 job offers within 3 days of shooting my CV out for English language teaching positions. Cheers from PP!
I live in Thailand but I find Cambodia people are a lot friendlier
They are friendlier unless you are working with them doing something kind of investments or business . Then they will try to scam you out for as much as possible
@@sting114you never travel to Cambodia to say such thing lol scam are everywhere in this planet Cambodia rank as the friendliest country in the world for a reason
@@sting114as If devolop country like Thailand doesn’t have scam ? Cambodian generally friendly if you ask any tourist that been to Cambodia get out of Thailand and see how beautiful the real world don’t leave comment if you’re gonna have bias
@@crochetwit_khmer7365 you are completely right. I have travelled to thailand and i felt thai people are less friendly
@ yes if you watch every first impression of Cambodia 🇰🇭 the first things every UA-camr mention is how friendly Cambodian are and this person probably never been to Cambodia trying to fake about that
Cambodia has the option to have a retirement VISA for age 50-54. It just costs more than at 55 and the income qualifications are different. But it’s less complicated than Thailand.
Overcomplicating things is a trademark of Thailand.
Thank you for bringing up this subject and sorry to say this but there’s not even a comparison of this two places Thailand has progressed ahead when it comes to infrastructure health safety internet food academic etc… as you mentioned Cambodia is gradually growing and is a up and coming country about the burning season in these regions of southeastern Asia like Laos,Cambodia’s,Vietnam,Myanmar Thailand as long as i can remember growing up in the northeastern region of Thailand folks from all of these countries that are mentioned they have been doing this for ever and if you’re looking for a cheaper alternatives then please go and check out Cambodia or other nearby countries who knows the grass might be greener on the other side or as Thai folks would say it up to you thank you great video
No burning season in Siem Reap.
The irony is Thailand seems to occupy a sweet spot in terms of progress. Not too much not too little. If it one day catches up to the likes of Taiwan or South Korea, many expats will probably bemoan the "progress".
Two years in Thailand, I'll take Cambodia.
Great video and well explained
Cost of living (?) - ''on a monthly basis'' - Thailand may on be a little bit more (!) - AFTER - you park 800,000 Baht in a bank of theirs !!! --- A not so 'friendly' aspect for many ! --- Visa is no comparison for the over 55 ''retirement visa" in Cambodia. Siem Reap is an ideal spot for overall low cost of living and proximity to Bangkok for medical being a 1 hour flight. - - - Thailand may be more appealing for people who are more wealthy and have less need for a lower budget. Those on a tighter budget for retirement may really appreciate Siem Reap for all factors considered.
The 800,000 baht is not a fee. It’s just a temporary deposit to make sure you are financially stable. Reason: Too many times, foreigners have run out of money and skipped the country without paying their bills.
Great video, thanks for that! I'm looking forward to a comparison between Thailand and Laos.
Excellent balanced analysis
Excellent comparison. I believe most people would lean toward Thailand, however, a great point on getting away from western people by picking Cambodia instead.
@@JR_thelocalnomad more and more you see forigeners now in Cambodia
Thailand is already wealthy, while Cambodia is still struggling with poverty. In the spirit of humanity, we need to help those in need to improve their lives. Many Cambodian children don’t have the chance to go to school and rely on support from foreigners. Let’s help Cambodian children they are living very difficult lives.🙏🙏
Please do Thailand to Vietnam next.

Children in Cambodia are required to learn both Cambodian and English. First half of the day is Cambodian. The second half of the day will teach them English.
There is a surprising amount of English here!
@@TheBuddyShowWorldwide Many young people in Cambodia can understand English. I’d say around 80% of them, because English is considered very important. Our teachers always emphasize that English is the language we can use everywhere . It's an international language.
Cost of living will depend on what currency your wealth or income is in. Cambodia is USD currency. Any larger price-tag, including rent, will be in USD. The riel is pegged to the USD. THB/USD exchange rate fluctuates quite a bit. There is a huge surplus of cheap new modern housing in Cambodia. Thai food is WAY better than Cambodian food. Very good comparison video!
Thumbs up 👍 Tony
Thanks 👍
Great analysis of relevant points Tony. Please do a comparison of Armenia Vs Thailand too. I'm pretty sure Thai will win for cost of living and medical care but taxes,food and PR are things Armenia has the edge over many nations. Looking forward to it some day. Great video as always!❤
Cambodia and laos is my destination retirement
@@winnerwinnerchickendinner8809 curious...what's drawing you to those two countries?
@@jnsa9454 although those two countries might not offered the same as Thailand nor Vietnam but the people are honest with real authentic cultures
@@winnerwinnerchickendinner8809real authentic culture?😂
Laos is one of the poorest countries in the world with an inept but utterly corrupt communist government
@@winnerwinnerchickendinner8809 Real authentic culture? What does that even mean?
How did u reached Thailand and what u do there
I have heard burning season isn't too bad in Seam Reap or Hua Hin. Any locals here that can comment on that?
Yes, it’s a bit hot, but in Siem Reap, there are many trees along the roads. If you want to go to the market, Cambodians usually go in the morning.
Cambodia is suitable for you, friends from Thailand.
Thanx !
You're welcome!
How about Temple?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
There are quality condos all over Thailand for 250 to 300 USD per month that you will never be able to find in Cambodia. Thailand wins this category by far.
Cambodia also has its own luxuries; it just depends on what type of luxury you prefer. I’d say the main issue with the cost of living in Cambodia is that transportation is more expensive than in Thailand, but it’s still affordable.
No thanks,
There are too many snakes!!!
I like these comparison between SE Asian countries. It would be great to do a ✅ checklist like...
If you need (ease if public transport) then (country) is best...
If you're looking for xxx then...
I'm biased towards TH but I am curious about Cambodia too. Other than cost of living, what would Cambodia offer?
Cambodia is right next to Myanmar and even below (less corrupt than) The Philippines on ASEAN's corruption index. I think a lot of people overlook this, dazzled by the low prices. Corruption isn't a problem for people...until it is.
Have noticed both countries seem to have a "chip on their shoulder" when it comes to one another, especially among the ppl in govt positions. This wasnt apparent, as far as I could tell, based on my last visit in 2018.
Why this is the case ? dont know, but I can speculate. firstly, co-vid hit the world hard, especially so in the global tourism sector. Countries that rely on this type of revenue, be it mild to moderate (that would be Thailand, and Cambodia, respectively) "felt it". With tourism not rebounding as some/ to many thought it would back into a boom cycle, it has become competitive for that tourist $$$.
There is also a possibility of a big brother- lil bro dynamic going on here too. with the big one, with a higher GNI, HDI, etc is behaving like a bully to his lil bro neighbor ??
imo, both need to "get back to their shared heritage" roots and be more cooperative with one another.
Indeed, they both "have it in them" to do so....whether they actually do or not remains to be seen. I wish them both "chok dee" (Good fortune) . ~gizziiusa
No one wants foreigner's advice.
Its goes back further than that.. Centuries old..
@@langston3286 been visiting both countries for 2 decades. im only saying based on what im seeing and hearing from both. antidotal info.
(immigration guy at SR airport scolding me for using Thai just as I flew in...We use Khmer and English here. ok, whatever.
it being suggested I not wear my Cambodia hat when coming back into TLand.
other examples too. NEVER had that before).
Centuries old. sure. but now its different b/c Cambodia has "got its shit together" to a degree and maybe TLAnd feels a bit threatened by it (?)
Are you ever afraid of tigers 😅
