      Ontario 🇨🇦 here ✌️✌️ I'm still thinking should I keep a small apt here and come back to 🇨🇦 from may-oct or just move somewhere which you never know what you could be into fully however plane fare isn't cheap either back n forth 2 times a year.
      At least cambodia is your home country and could get along quite well there.
      Best of luck for you !!

    I visit friends in Cambodia every year. I totally agree...Cambodians are friendly. So are the people in neighbouring countries. Here is a piece of advise: Stay away from foreign mass tourism AND from integrating with Expats rather than the local culture. If you do these 2 things you'll live a happy life over there.
    Cheers from 20 HAPPY years in Vietnam!

    Well now Dave -- I am really surprised by your # 1 - 'reason' - for moving 'to' Cambodia. --- It is '''identical''' to many -- ( numerous ) -- opinions I have heard about the Philippines - on dozens of videos the past 2 years - while searching out '''my''' ideal retirement destination. Identical !!! The heart warming similarities appear 'identical' from many sources over there. The Buddhist culture 'appears' to have the influence and/or results - as does Catholicism to the people there. > Both are very happy and very friendly and very welcoming - while being very poor by western standards. -?- I am really drawn to both cultures - very much so - for many of the very same reasons ! = Just my observations.

    eh ??? 100F + temperatures in recent months... and it will be hotter in the future. No mention of the corruption. Once you get into rural Cambodia, you need a local to help you sort things out like transport - no street addressees in rural areas so you need to know how the postage system works - or even buying a motorcycle. 6 months in the North of Cambodia I only saw one other White person.. it was so unusual he stopped to talk to me. He was from the Uk with a Fiipina wife. French fries are expensive - why not eat rice ? Very few businesses have a website, so it is down to who you know to find the things you might need. The best thing is the Visa. You can get one on arrival and you do not need a return flight or flight to exit Cambodia. Medical needs thinking about - Khmer hospitals have an appalling reputation - but pharmacies will supply most drugs without a prescription. Roads are the worst I have ever known that is outside of the few cities. Someone is wearing Rose tinted glasses... but in terms of the people - and it is the same for The Philippines and Thailand (I don't know about other SE Asian countries), a breath of fresh air in comparison with the typical western self-centered arrogant entitled person - but be respectful to Khmer, treat them as an equal. Khmer know they are poor (other than the small number of corrupt people ripping the system off) so if they see you are OK with their humble existence they will warm to you. Do you know what a squat toilet is ? Two entitled arrogant western 30's brothers from a wealthy family in NZ are sitting in a Bangkok prison waiting for their case - where they drove past a policeman who ordered them to stop (on motorcycles), he tracked them down, they attacked him, took his gun from him resulting in the discharge of a round AND it was caught on someone's cell phone. They also tried to bribe their way out... - I hope they get 10 years - don't be like these people.
