    So if you cant buy health insurance over 65 years old, that would exclude most retired people who would want to move there, doesnt sound like they are set up for anything serious in the way of medical issues.

    If you could really eat, sleep, and travel like locals, you can stretch your mighty $$$ much further. There are always pros and cons no matter where we live as life is short to do the things we don't love doing. Be mindful and open minded with your surroundings as locals still live with only a few dollars a day. Cambodia has come a long way since the prolonged civil war officially ended in 1998. I've returned to live here since my retirement for ten years now from US. Most of my family members did not survive the horrific genocide there. Cambodia might not be suitable for everyone but you can give it a try as it's like a new kid in a block comparing to the neighbors. Peace from a genocide survivor ✌️

    Cambodia has been popular to retire for at least 20 years. I went there then and there were lots of expats I met who had been there a long time even then! A lot of money has been invested in the country, especially from China, who have completely ruined Sihanoukville and turned it into a kind of Chinese casino city from a lovely cool vibe beach town. Yes it’s still a country everyone should visit and check out for themselves! Electricity bills can be high if you use Aircon, much more than Thailand. The heat can be unbearable in the hotter months of April/May! Kampot is another popular place to stay, it’s a much smaller town and a pleasant place with beautiful mountains nearby! $1500 to $2000 is a comfortable budget, to live a reasonable lifestyle imo!

    $800 to $1000 is going to exclude a lot. Eating out in nice places would be out, no health insurance, if you are 60+ ( you can get insurance at 60+, but it costs) no vehicle, no travel home or travel in the region, and, as mentioned, no aircon. It's cheap, but 1000 would be very basic, achievable if you have low expectations, or you enjoy a frugile life, which many do. Comfortable is $2000 per month.

      You can rent a studio flat for $150 with aircon. Bills about $50. Food is very inexpensive too. Tuktuk across town $1.50. Or buy a scooter for $500-$1500, depending on age of vehicle. $1000 is easily enough if you’re not out partying every night and wasting money.
