@Village287 I am sorry that you have problems with your eyes as you describe. I remember 40 years ago Fred Hollows was doing cataract operations for $20. But your operation is likely more involved I guess.The Cambodian likely sees you as a rich ... Read More

I'm in Cambodia because I need value for money for my own long retirement. Sorry I can't reimburse you.There's a saying...If you owe the bank $50K, you have a problem. If you owe the bank $50M, the bank has a problem. But I'll extend it for you. ... Read More

Online Gambling by Kingsley88
Hey guys, do you know its legal gambling online in Cambodia? I heard its illegal in Phnom Penh only.
I once played poker on Pokerstars for small money and had a good time, losing maybe $100 per year on the micro stakes. Then the Liberal government banned people playing on Pokerstars. The bastards did nothing about me losing maybe $1000 per night on ... Read More

I think the poker sites are legal in Cambodia and there would be nothing wrong with playing on Pokerstars.But yes, online casinos are known to cheat. You can’t prove anything either, it’s all coded in the software.Use real casinos where ... Read More

Further to that, Poipet has very cheap casinos where you can get a free room and meal vouchers for as little as $600 turnover (on commission baccarat too which has a house edge of around 1.25%).For that turnover in Australia I got free water and had ... Read More

Hi,Im in Daun Penh area of PP. I’ve seen numerous Dental shopfronts in that area.Does anyone have a recommendation for any of these services .Ive broke a filling & maybe need a Crown . Ive googled several places for reviews….but ...
I had tooth pain 4 years ago and pretty well had no choice but to take pot luck as the pain needed some attention. The dentist I saw was near me and had a big sign outside his practice. He said the tooth had to be pulled, he was sure. So ok, I had ... Read More

As per today, October 18, 2021 quarantine rules change. 1. For unvaccinated travelers nothing changes, so still 14 days quarantine, $2000 deposit in arrival, covid test before flying and Forte covid insurance. 2. Vaccinated foreigners will undergo ...
I was hoping to get to Cambodia before Xmas because they don't celebrate it there, it's just another day there. The casinos will be open, unlike here in Oz. But each to their own I guess. Read More
Retirement visa 2017 by Kurterino
Is there any more information available on retirement visa requirements? I was on this page about the requirements for 2017 (http://www.movetocambodia.com/planning-your-move-to-cambodia/cambodia-visas/#types), where it says: "ER visa. The new ...
I'm currently in Poipet nearing the end of a 12 month retirement EOS. To get a 12 month extension, the casino that I play at here has quoted me $400. Has the cost of visas gone up, or is the casino just adding a big fee? To get the extension ... Read More

Here here. I came to Cambodia first on the recommendation of a friend in Australia, and it seems I did extremely well. Thailand is more heavily advertised in Australia and is the preferred destination for most Australians; but now that I hear ... Read More
Electricity and Electronics in Phnom Penh by Cheekemonkey
Hi again! I have been researching what type of electrical outlets are common in apartments to prepare accordingly (buying adapters and converters) for North American chargers and electronics I am planning to bring with me. Can anyone confirm what ...
You forgot to mention AUS,NZ. I bought 2 or 3 adapters here in PP at 50c each. This actually makes a mockery of an adapter I bought 15 years ago in Eastern Europe and kept for when I might go traveling again. It works here but is hugely inferior ... Read More

Cambodian Visa's - Essential Information by rarky

Good answer. I'm not sure however about the argument that I'm using Cambodian infrastructure means I should pay tax. Whilst I may be using it to live, I'm not using it to earn money, as I once did in my country where I earned my money ... Read More
6 months in Cambodia
You'll likely pay US$300 to US$400 per month for an apartment in PP. For that price you get a/c, kitchen, tv, bathroom; things a westerner would expect. I've got a balcony too. You may have to pay extra for electricity, and an a/c can ... Read More

My pension comes from an Australian superannuation fund and I get taxed in Australia (very favourably because I am of retirement age, but nonetheless I am considered to be taxed there). There is no way I would pay an additional tax in Cambodia. Read More

Travel insurance by Missjodi
Just reading current reviews on world nomad travel insurance. Holy cow! The negative reviews are astonishing. Any suggestions for other companies? The above mentioned, bloody frightening!
Thanks Yogi. I have a $20 helmet and my girlfriend couldn't believe that I would pay that much for a helmet. Not that I know it is any good, it's just the one with a colour that matched the motorcycle and it fitted me; and I needed one. ... Read More
Balloon busted! by Missjodi
Had it all planned out. As a Canadian we are not allowed to live abroad for more than 182 days without returning. Unless, you change your resident status. Which allows the Canadian govt to tax you at a flat rate of 25%. Or you can renounce your ...
I've never heard anything like this. I just simply left Australia and now live here. I'm self funded retiree, so don't need their money. I pay tax in Australia on my pension but it's minimal, and will be 0 when I'm 60. I plan ... Read More

Hi Joe, I agree that driving a motorbike in PP is dangerous and not a good idea. As I said in my post, they drive on the other side of the road here too, which means I am used to driving on the left hand side of the road and here they drive on the ... Read More

I read this story not so long ago and am thinking of just forgetting about insurance. If they don't insure you when you ride a moto then what's the point. I took insurance for my first 6 months here in Cambodia, mainly because they drive on ... Read More

I got one recently. There's another thread here somewhere where it says you need to be 55 years OR have proof of a pension. I am 57 but the agent that arranged my visa asked me for proof before submitting the application. Well I had it and ... Read More

Hating on bar girls by GuestPoster8404

I'm going out with a girl I met at a bar too. She had only been working there for a month or two and when she told me how much she earned in a month I was shocked. I just give her her monthly wage now so that she can spend nights with me. I ... Read More
