Cambodian 3 year visa: Are you tempted?


Recommended Posts

Sorry if this has been done in  a previous thread (couldn't find anything via search).

 

I was recently reading about the new 3 year visa Cambodia is soon to offer. In one way, it seems to good to be true, but then again what is the place

actually like to live in compared to Thailand?

More specifically, do you think one could easily adapt to Cambodian lifestyle after being in Thailand a decade or so?

 

Considering the negative proposals/announcements from Thai immigration that keep coming with regularity, and with the hurdles forever getting higher

would you be tempted to make the move? Or maybe even consider a six month (or so) change of scenery. 

 

Any feedback or thoughts?

Man was made to live anywhere.

Adapting is Up 2 U.

Cambodia is in the same , humid ,hot South East Asia as Thailand.

Customs, prices, food and dos and don'ts will be different.

No, I like to move forward, not backward...

 

Cambodia is a big disappointment for most and I don't see it getting any better in the future.

 

However, some do love it for awhile, until they miss what Thailand offered them. :coffee1:

Cambodia is like Thailand 20 years ago but with more crimes, especially robbery, but western food is cheaper and more people seem to understand what you tell them and try to improve. They are not like most Thai who think that they are the best even if they have never read a single book their whole life...

I got fed up with the way the thai goverment treats foreigner and decided to move to ho chi minh recently.

Let me tell you it is a wonderful feeling when I read dozens of ads on the internet inviting foreigners to apply for job positions as engineers, teachers, office workers and etc.. where in thailand I would see "thai only".

Living here now I have the feeling I was living in segregation in thailand. 

I am enjoying the fact if I decide to open a business and can just do it on my own.

 

Before coming here I stopped in PP, while there I had sand in my eyes all day, there is contruction going on every where you look. Property ownership for foreigners is more relaxed than thailand.

In a few years it will be a good alternative for the arrogant thailand.

Vietnam right now is the place to be.

The majority of people came to Thailand not to work. If you need to work, you may as well work in the west and earn proper money. I am not saying there aren't some high paid jobs in a specialized field, but they are few and far between.

I had been in the capital once for 7 days. Got really bored. The only nice and clean area is the area River Side where there are some nice restaurant, hotels and Casino. That whole area is nice but the moment you step into side roads all are old and dirty. I was also having huge problem finding good food. After almost 9 PM very difficult to find something to eat. Prices were also more expensive for almost everything except cigerates and drinks.

Sent ample time in Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam.  Vietnam suited me so much better than the other two.  People are extremely smart, helpful, and accepting of foreigners without the false smiles. 

 

Infrastructure, malls, food vendors, beautiful country, easy access to ladies, and plenty of places to live make Vietnam a great place to either visit or live.

 

Some of their beaches are the best in the world IMHO.

 

Aside from phu quoc - which for sure has tarnished in the last 5 years - can I ask to what beaches are you referring?
