Tips and advice to thrive in Cambodia by Priscilla

Hi, When living in a foreign country, you have to adapt to a new environment, various cultures and different social codes. How did you manage to adjust to Cambodia? How long does it take to feel at home? Would you say it is an easy ...

KevinAllen

Your life in Cambodia or anywhere on Earth is more about Y-O-U than anyone or anything else. My advice.... Stay busy. Be tolerant of the shortcomings and small annoyances (like the heat, trash and loud music at 4:30AM), or you will be miserable and ... Read More

Tuk tuk to airport cost from night market aeea by Wimbleton

Hi any general price for tuk tuk to airport in the evening ?

KevinAllen

Walk if you are fit at all. Its a good one hour walk and you'll see a lot of the city, people and sights you'll miss on a tuktuk and never get to see while you are here. Evening/night is especially best as it is cool and pleasant. You can ... Read More

I am fishing for opinions by Rudius

I am a 32 year old well-mannered middle-class divorced man living in the United States. I have nearly lost all tolerance for american women. I find them shallow, self-absorbed, self-important, and unappreciative, among other things. I am ...

KevinAllen

Come and live over here. Learn something of the language, culture and nature of the people. And in the course of your life here you might find a Khmer woman you can love who will love you back. It's certainly not something you can plan... or do ... Read More

sharing my experience in Cambodia by Ingrid15

I've been here for 5 weeks now in Phnom Penh. The locals are generally lovely people. The tuktuk and motorbike guys....not so much. Unfortunately I recently had my bag knifed open, but thankfully the very pretty group of thieving women got ...

KevinAllen

The moto guys are easy to deal with. #1 never get on a motorbike. If you get hurt you're finished in Cambodia (3rd world). Lots of people get hurt and die coming off of motorbikes. Take my advice never get on a motorbike except in dire need. If ... Read More

Next time it could be you! by PaulaMike

I am warning people about the dangers of bag snatching around the Russian Market area. On Friday evening around 8pm whilst walking with my husband, 2 guys on a moto attempted to snatch my bag. The guy on the back grabbed it but it stayed around my ...

Unfortunate nasty experience. However one should not become a prisoner in their apartment because of it. I have lived in the 3rd world for years and have heard a 1,000 stories like yours. There are probably lots of reasons (poor excuses) why no ... Read More

Writing a book on °µÍø½ûÇø "mistakes and observations" in Cambodia! by lindascott2

Hello, I have the idea of writing a short book (or longer, depending on the responses I get!) on °µÍø½ûÇøs and their "mistakes, warnings, and/or observations" that they've seen. I'd really appreciate anything that would be ...

The person who started this thread is conning us. We're writing the book not her. She admittedly knows nothing about the subject and has nothing to contribute, but believes she can make some money or fame "writing" a book. What ... Read More

I'm on the girls' side.... except for out-right theft, that is a one-off stealing cash or property. But often that is the fault of the victim too for carelessly leading them into temptation by leaving his cell phone or wallet laying around. ... Read More

My observation. The first mistake loser °µÍø½ûÇøs make is they come to a place where they think the people are ignorant animals. Why would they do that? Then they whine about how the ignorant animals took 'em to the cleaners or ruined their lives ... Read More
