Quality of customer service in Cambodia by Cheryl

Staff tend to be very friendly but are often not well trained. Service can be hit and miss. When ordering online, there often won't be an answer if they know you are a foreigner as they are worried about the communication breakdown.An example of ... Read More

Face Masks--- by deebee123
I gather there are no longer Covid restrictions in Cambodia. But is everyone still voluntarily wearing face masks similar to what's happening in Thailand and Vietnam? To what extent is Cambodia still "masked-up?" (Hoping this thread doesn't become a ...
I'd say about 10% of the people here in PP are wearing face masks, just as they did before Covid. Funny that you are hoping that this is not becoming a political debate when obviously this is your intention. As for Vietnam: lots of people have ... Read More

Phone snatching is pretty common in Phnom Penh. I never used the phone on the street; if I have to use it, I duck into a shop or restaurant. You are unlikely to catch the perp and I wouldn't even try; he might carry a knife or a gun and no phone is ... Read More

My main hobby is running. Whilst this is easy in Siem Reap, where my home is, PP is a little more complicated because of the traffic. Only solution is to get up early, I try to get my runs in before 6 am when in PP. I also walk, lots. The only ... Read More

Seeing how I have been an expat all my life and I came from Vietnam, where I had been for 15 years, I cannot really say that things have changed a lot. So, on a scale of 0-10, it would probably be a 0. I always make sure I take my time out for ... Read More

My bank USAA stocks tons of $2 bills in bundles. I'm wondering if it's ok to use this form of US currency in Cambodia.
