This is the best S R video I have seen Allen ! -- I'm loving this place and what it has to offer. Simply a beautiful city and awesome friendly people. I'm an old retired American living on SS and have seen it reported that US expats live ''there'' quite comfortably on half of my income. I'm somewhat frugal but sweating all the time isn't fun. 🤔 So some AC in a frugal studio perhaps - then I can see me living there on $1000/mo with some health insurance perhaps ? Bangkok is a 1 hour flight away for some real quality medical if desired - or some fun. -?- ( Late 2024 ) --- Thank you very much !!! 🤗

Visiting the Angkor temples is free for locals and expats that have been there for more than two years. For tourists, you have to buy a pass that's roughly $30 a day. When you're haggling with vendors, they will try to get more from you if you appear to be a tourist. Otherwise, everything is the same price. You'll never see a restaurant menu with separate prices from foreigners.

As someone who has lived in Phnom Penh for 16 years, I always caution people that transportation is going to be one of their highest costs, especially if they commute to work. I bought a motorcycle so my transportation is less than $20 per month, but most people will use taxis (Grab or PassApp) which can add up to $100-200 per month. Everything else you talked about is spot on! In addition, never choose where you live based on the apartment or house alone. It can be perfect, but then you end up with higher transportation costs or nasty neighbors. Instead, you should stay in a hotel or guesthouse for one month to understand the areas of the city and what your lifestyle will be. Do you eat out and never cook? Then live near your favorite restaurants. Do you love to cook? Then live near your favorite market. There will always be places available that you find by walking up and down the streets where you want to live and looking for rent signs in the windows or asking the neighbors. Even Siem Reap is starting to sprawl, so if someone wants to be able to walk everywhere, they need to consider the same things.

The reasons why people are moving to Cambodia is are because of the followings: 1. Affordability: food, accommodation & transportation and everything is available . 2. Culture: rich, ancient and unique 3. People: friendliness, kindness, politeness and respect for foreigners and elderly 4. Visa & regulations: the world easiest, just go to agent and you get things done. 5. Landscape: Angkor Wat $ other 8000+ temples - to Phnom Penh (bustling capital city, and Sihanouk Ville), beaches (pristine and white af) to laid back town (Kampot, Kep & Battambang) to natural landscape in the northeast. 6. Integration: Cambodia is one of easiest to integrate or blend into. 7. Languages: Everyone speak basic/communicative English. People also speak Chinese. National language is Khmer. 8. Business & Growth: Cambodia is one of the world fastest growing economies, and it is very easy to start a business. 9. Cheap Labor: you actually can have a house maid for just $250 monthly.

Being a dual citizen does not disqualify you from buying property. She can buy land just the same as any other Khmer citizen.

Good video - but - I disagree with your assessment of traffic/walking in Taiwan, specifically Taipei. The city has many parks, including an extensive network of riverside walkways / bike paths. If you tire of walking they have an inexpensive bike share program (YouBike). There's also the subway train system, the MRT, which whisks you to many destinations through the greater Taipei area, including both airports that serve the city. Certainly there are places where the sidewalk is uneven and even interrupted but not next to major thoroughfares. Perhaps you should visit and check it out for yourself? It won't beat Siem Reap's cost of living but for an Asian metropolitan city it's quite well sorted.

Siem Reap is way inland. 10 hours drive. OK if you like living inland. Some expats like Phnom Penh but for me it's a busy polluted city. Rice is not free dude. It's about $50 for a 50kg sack. Cook it yourself if you like eating rice every day.

That guy lie. Yes is possible to live with 1.000$ month but you poor. Eat bad. Live bad. My rent is 400$ month. Food , coffees. Beers. Tuk tuk. My budget is 3.500$ month. To have good live. All the clips telling how cheap you can live. Is B””…. If you want to live live one dog. Yes. 1.000$. But… if you want to live like middle good you need more money. If you have girlfriend you need more money. If you have no sex you save money. No coffees no beers you save money. You get it. Eat 1$ noodles you save money.
