What a great place 🤩 love how big it is for that price, and the view is magnificent 👌🏻 you really lucked out 🎉😎

[@triniexplorer6176]

You chose the right place Tom. $350 for a huge place like that, decent view, can't go wrong..

[@douglasthorp7471]

Yes I rented a studio apartment windows all the way. Wrap around balcony it was very hot even in the winter. Size was ok had everything plus 5g internet free . 3 or 6 months least. I now own a condo two bedroom with everything I need.😊

[@w.m.p-w8989]

Nice upgrade from your current apartment. Does this have pool and work out equipment? A must for me!!! Thanks for sharing…

[@TomTripsOut]

I think it does not have those things. I don’t use either so I dont mind.

[@mhouse1572]

Like your choice.. very economical apartment… I would choose the same one.. Russian market is a good location..

[@stfj2923]

Tom, I enjoy your videos and sharing good information. Thank you. I suggest stopping in at Le Garage bar in Siem Reap near Mad Monkey (200 meters away) on Night Market St. Would be cool to see and I know someone who works there. Ask the owner about his chocolate shop in town as well. Cheers!

[@tylerking1094]

Man, that's a cool place. I'll be renting an apartment soon too, when I see apartment tours and what's available I feel like a kid the night before Christmas. I can't wait.

[@mimibigdy1917]

Nice and large… do you have concern on cooling it as the electricity is expensive? Does this have AC? Thanks…

[@TomTripsOut]

Yes I’m just going to use mostly fans instead of the AC, and be careful how long I have it on. But it has 2 ACs

[@kurtnigbor7165]

Great apartment!!! You done good!

[@lapanza2004]

DIDNT YOU NOTICE THE BUILDING UNDER CONSTRUCTION ON THE CORNER RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET! And it’s right by your bedroom. WITH THOSE HUGE WINDOWS. THE CONSTRUCTION NOISE WILL DOUBLE. THEY BEGIN EARLY IN THE MORNING AND WITH THOSE SORT OF BUILDINGS THERE WILL BE SOME EVENING CONSTRUCTION AS WELL. LOOKS LIKE THAT BUILDING WILL BE GOING UP PRETTY HIGH. SEE IF YOU CAN GET YOUR DEPOSIT BACK. BECAUSE I JUST KNOW YOU WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION NOISE IN A FUTURE VIDEO WHEN LIVING THERE

What's your secret to find the apartments? Did you use FB or internet search or somebody you already used in the past. I really like your VLOGS.

[@TomTripsOut]

I was using FB and also a website called Khmer24 - it’s like online classified ads but there’s a whole real estate section. And agents put listings there. And when you inquire about one they’ll show you it plus like 3-4 others around it

[@michaelharrich3134]

Thanks Tom

Thailand just announced taxes on expats! So expect a wave of foreigners from Thailand coming over. What about internet, can you get fiber installed and how much are utility rates, do you pay for water and electricity?

[@TomTripsOut]

WiFi included. I’m not sure about fiber. I pay extra for water and electricity. Water $5 a month, electricity 0.25 /kw - this is typical in Cambodia

[@elnet1]

@@TomTripsOut TY for the info. With the taxation issues in Thailand, I might have to change my plans.

[@matthewk9504]

If you wanted a two bedroom apartment with two large room does it work out cheaper per person?

[@TomTripsOut]

It definitely can be. It depends what level of niceness you go for. - but I think for like 550 you could get a nice 2 bedroom. Which is 275 each. You could find cheaper and higher priced but I think that’s a good average

[@matthewk9504]

@@TomTripsOut Thank you Tom. Looks like a great area.

[@hemorideriecht2329]

where was the 250 usd place located ?

[@TomTripsOut]

@@hemorideriecht2329 Russian market - Tuol Tom Pong. I forget the address

[@hemorideriecht2329]

@@TomTripsOut ok thx, already helps to get an idea :) where did you find this, facebook group ad?

[@TomTripsOut]

@@hemorideriecht2329 you can search FB or a website called khmer24 - when you see one you like you msg them to view it, and the day you go see it the person often shows you like 5 others that are similar

[@PeterC245]

So that’s a 6 month lease?

[@TomTripsOut]

I got 12 month

[@oaomai]

America is so dead that Cambodia has better deals. Let that sink in

[@TomTripsOut]

Where I’m from in Toronto Canada, this apartment would be literally 10x as much

[@oaomai]

Bargain mate.

[@wneighbor2523]

Wow great apartment in best location. Hope you have a great time there..😂🎉😢

[@KC-in9px]

It's bewildering to me why so many condos in Phnom Penh have steam rooms and saunas. All that you need to do is step outside and be drenched with sweat in a few minutes.

[@wow888888able]

Wow great location with the amazing restaurants around… looking forward to your restaurant tour videos…

[@callofdutysnipers0910]

I got a new video idea for you! How long is the school year? If it’s only 10 months what do people do for the 2 months without work? How often do you change jobs? Do schools drop people in the middle of the year? Do schools hire in the middle of the year? When is the best time to come to get a teaching job? What months are best?

[@Agentofkaos6808]

Cheap price

[@chrislemieux2578]

Damn !!! Those apartments were nice !!!!!! The gym wasn't the greatest though

[@KB3TLE]

I'm old and alone - so all that space would be a huge waste and big expense for just me. Less than half of those - areas - would be more to my liking so it is much cheaper to cool with AC and be comfortable ? $400 is too much also -- a frugal studio surely would be cheaper to rent - easier to clean + cheaper to cool ? (for just 1 person) Those might be better for a couple ? I'm a single guy with a couple suitcases !?! 🤔

[@TomTripsOut]

@@KB3TLE check my playlist section for apartment videos - I have a video of my first apartment here - $140 a month. Plus a bunch of others. - I don’t ever turn my AC on at all. Just use a regular fan.

[@TimBell-vb1rx]

Another great video, Tom! Thanks for taking us along to get an idea on apartment prices in Phnom Penh. Looking forward to meeting you in a couple of months.

[@KEMET1971]

Does the building you choose have a gym?

[@TomTripsOut]

@@KEMET1971 no it doesn’t but there are a few in the neighborhood

[@dancooper5741]

Unless you need the space , it’s better to have a more compact place with everything you need . Also bigger windows attract more heat and with bigger area to keep cool your electricity bill at 25 cents a Kilowatt hour will be nearly half the rent.🤪 When the days are humid & 36/38 degrees & still 31 at midnight it’s miserable not having AC running. Do the maths on the AC & it can be pricy.

[@TomTripsOut]

Yea you’re not wrong. But I won’t run my AC too much and I’ll use fans instead most of the time

[@808talofa8]

Where did you find the listings for these apartments?

[@TomTripsOut]

@@808talofa8 mostly using Facebook as a search engine. And when you ask to view one the real estate representative will show it to you plus like 5 other similar ones in the area. There’s also online classifieds on khmer24
