    I personally have not met any retired expats aspiring to become a rickshaw driver to supplement their income...   Stopping small businesses?  What does this mean?  What qualifies as a smal

  • Oh dear. Just when I was in the middle of getting financing for my first tuk tuk. Guess its back to pedal power again for my regular passengers.

Don't knock till you've tried it Bubba.  It's great exercise and you meet only the finest people.

"He noted that foreigners who live and work in the Kingdom will also have to contribute $360 annually to the economy."

 

You're setting the bar high, Cambodia. I recently spent more than that, just by visiting Phnom Penh for three days.

maybe it's an attempt to stop the Chinese invasion

 

I hope so, but I am sure the Chinese vendors in China's Special Economic Zone (Sihanoukville) will be allowed to continue - "business as usual"!

The entire Asean region in my view is moving in the wrong direction in terms of the policies that are being enacted by the governments. They've had the opportunity to send their countries in a positive direction by attracting foreign investment, technology, etc. and because of greed they've sold out to the highest bidder and now are going to be stuck in with the results of these bad decisions for a long time.

Time to live Cambodia, same at Thailand. Now Laos or other asia country.

 

yes laos is ideal, move to a place where it is illegal to date the women.

Thank god no foreigners allowed to drive taxis....there are enough cheats and crooks amongst the majority of Official Thai taxi/tuk tuk drivers...

"... or that the foreigners have expert skills which Cambodian people do not"...

They can walk and chew gum at the same time and also most are able to resist the urge to toss their used plastic bag and trash at the first available footstep. That's two. No change coming. It's currently $180 a year for a foreign employee exemption. An increase to $360 sounds like the change. The tuk tuk / rickshaw, barber, street vendor categories will be to prevent Vietnamese and Chinese nationals primarily. Everyone take a breath.

The Cambodians really do have an inflated sense of their countries' appeal. Nobody in their right mind would choose to live in Cambodia over Thailand.

But we are still allowed to work without work permit just as in Thailand if nobody knows it ❤️

Do you know how many "Official Thai taxi/tuk tuk drivers..." there are in Cambodia? Just curious.

Oh this is a surprise?  Really?  Thailand doesn't want foreigners, why do you think BJ was invented.  Why do you think Thai immigrations laws are stronger & more effective than China's and Trump's wall combined.

Cambodia, not Thailand
