Glad you have had a positive experience. Long may it last. I have had parcel's shipped from the UK. Sometimes it goes well and sometimes not, though they've always arrived eventually. The biggest problem for me is often their transit from ... Read More
Rent payment by Salavan
When renting accommodation in Cambodia is the rent usally paid every month, what's the norm
My experience has been that the rent is paid monthly. You may also have to pay for electricity, water, refuse removal or WiFi. Often with the exception of electricity, all that is included in your rent. In my previous apartment the landlord ... Read More
Psychiatric Services in Siem Reap by Gbwilliams56

Hello Is it possible for someone upon arrival in Cambodia to open a bank account even though they will not have a permanent address yet? Thank you

Are there plentiful English teaching jobs in Siem Reap? by Bennu
I'm moving to Cambodia in February. I'd greatly prefer to live in Siem Reap due to it being more laid back and lush and less hectic and crowded than Phnom Penh. I have a TEFL and a CTEYL (Certificate of Teaching English to Young Learners) ...

Life as a female expat in Cambodia by Priscilla
Hello, While moving to a new country and discovering new cultures is definitely an exciting adventure, everybody experiences it differently. It can be particularly different for women, in both positive and negative ways. What are some positive ...
Uuum. Wondering why you made that assumption? My teenager is a male who was struggling, physically and mentally, to cope in a poorly resourced provincial orphanage where I had previously done some teaching. After discussing his situation with my own ... Read More
