You say you qualify for a retirement visa in Thailand in a few weeks so leave Cambodia come back and rent a cheap condo (maybe in BKK) where you can eat at restaurants cheaply and even cheaper in the many food courts all over. Chicken fried rice , pad Thai ect can get in food courts or street vendors for a little more than a US Dollar. Strat taking Turmeric and other supplements that can help your back and buy a good mattress. Can see a clinic about other things that may help your back issues.

I've been in PP for 4 years and hate the food, the overpriced poorly stocked 'supermarkets', the crappy expensive rental accomodation, the Cambodians (well the men, really) and the other expats.

Not that it matters because there are no postmen in Cambodia. Nearly everything is imported so is more expensive than in Thailand. If someone can afford to buy a resort in Sihanoukville then they probably don't need to worry about paying double for everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have brain haemorage you will not be fit enough to tell anyone anything. Good medical insurance is essential. May I ask how old you are? why not just retire here?

Guest Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 It's interesting that most of the people I have talked to, have said that Cambodia is not very nice while Vietnam is. That was my own opinion when travelled there some 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthai55 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I find the people there warm and friendly. Keep in mind that the country lost a whole generation not so long ago. Comparing it to Thailand - or anywhere - is an exercise in futility. It is what it is. Infrastructure lacking - but progress is being made. New airport, new roads, but this all takes time. Bangkok Hospital group even has a hospital in PNH. I enjoy my time there, go every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2702 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 OP why are you moaning. It did not take you 6 days to obtain your visa and if it did then you were extremely ill prepared.

But there were the likes of Raffles Hotel to escape to for a meal. I still miss their lovely pool and spa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try smack. It kills the pain but for actually reducing inflammation there are many, ways.. Google Dr Mercola and DR Fong on principles of dieting, exercise and weight loss.

Yes, it was my choice . I could have done it in four days , but two 20 hour bus journey in three nights, is a bit much . And I also got an extra fours days on my Thai Visa , I maybe would have stayed in Savanah a bit longer , but I was right out of clothes and I can stay for "free" in my Condo in Thailand . Thats when I thought , give up my condo lease in Thailand , bring all my clothes to Laos and stay for the duration of my Laos visa on the next visa run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruff Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I am doing at the moment what youare considering OP.. In fact for the past 4 yeras (i got rid of all possessions 4 years ago) i have been travellng with a back pack. I think it becomes important to stay in 1 place for a couple of months to get to know and settle. I am in Thailand for 2 months at the moment as getting an 30 extension in Hua Hin now is a completely non bureaucratic and quick experience.. Also in the Philippines getting extension month after month is very very easy. II am fortunate also to be an EU citizen so i can spend the months of May / June / September / October in southern Europe where some countries are cheaper living than Thailand now..
