Managing mailboxes or PO boxes in Cambodia by Cheryl

@Cheryl You can get a mailbox in Siem Reap, I have one. It all depends on availability. Rarely do we get mail actually in the box it usually needs to be signed for or too large so we pick it up from the post office agent Read More
Vietcombank & best way to get VND into GBP by GuestPoster0020
I have a teaching job in Hanoi, I will start soon. They will pay me every month into Vietcombank in VND. What should I do if I save some money and want to extract it into GBP when / if I go home (UK)? Can I just convert and send it to a UK bank ...
So sorry! I have to recant using Transferwise as an option to send money out of Vietnam. It had been a couple of months since I looked over the website since I normally just use the app to send money from my US account. The information I gave you ... Read More

Knobs! Love it! I have only been on the forum for a couple of weeks since I intend to move there in a few months and I have had a run in or two with sanctimonious trolls. Please stay away from gold shops and doing bank transfers since they will reem ... Read More

By the way, everything is done online, no withdrawing money and going to a gold shop that will give you a bad exchange rate. Once you are set up the money gets to your account in a matter of hours. Read More

Appreciate it. I have had some feedback pretty much accusing me of being a criminal! I just want to have access to my home countries programming and it is sadly lacking here. In the Philippines a DVR is pretty much non-existent and I can't stand ... Read More

It's good to know that Netflix and Amazon are available, but I may be confusing some members with my question. Here, in the Philippines, I mostly use an IPTV service on my android box or sideloaded on my Amazon Fire tv in order to download or ... Read More
