Dave in Cambodia lives with his girlfriend in a $50 a month apartment in Siem Reap. Simple but clean place. When I was living there my apartment was more expensive.... $100 a month before electric and water. Nice clean simple apartment with large washroom, with shower, small kitchen, nice living room/bedroom. Gated walled building (all the tenants have a key for the gate) and security guard. Kept electric cost low by not having a TV, and not turning the airconditioning on. I used fan only, and cross circulation between windows. I really can't see spending hundreds of dollars on an apartment.

@@brahimfightdesign Sweat box only for the first two to three weeks. At that point my body had acclimated to the tropical climate and I was fine. Cross circulation between windows and using fans is all you need. Air conditioning is a big mistake. Your body will never acclimate if you use air conditioning. Use air conditioning….and every time you step outside will be like stepping into a blast furnace. It takes the human body only two to three weeks to acclimate. Why not let acclimatization be your friend? I got used to the climate…..didn’t suffer anymore in the heat, and kept my electric bill really really low. Win….win.. . 😃👍🏼👏🏼🌴🌴🌴☸️

Hi Mike. Nice vid. The one thing I would say is that you've got expats in Siem Reap/ S'ville doing OK on around $700 a month. It all depends on your standard of living. A room with Aircon and a small kitchen can be had in Siem Reap for around $100 a month. If you're happy to drink cheap beer, go for walks, watch DVD's and eat street food/wok it up at home, you can easily do that on the budget I just mentioned. Obviously, your lifestyle is a lot better and PP is a lot pricier anyway. But there's something there for every budget.

Now you've put Cambodia on my radar. Your condo and its price is amazing and totally suited for my needs as well as being way under my budgeted needs. Unfortunately, I am sure housing prices will rise with the easing of the C*vid restrictions.

Several basic points needed. What is the length of your lease? How many months deposit? How much is the KwH electricity rate? Some places are $0.20, others 0.25, or 0.30, that's a huge difference. You're on a high floor, pounded by the sun all day, will easily cost twice that to cool the place when it gets red hot starting later in March lasting until late in the year. Only December through February are even slightly cool weather.

100% agree with you. I live (food wise) on $5 a day buying at the local market and cooking at my rented condo. Rice, veggies and fruit. I catch my own fish as I am a keen angler. If I have a good day I barter a fish or two for chicken or pork. I am also talking about Malacca, Malaysia which is more expensive than Cambodia. Rent is $200 pm, tap water $8, internet $9, bottled water $10 and electric around $30. I mainly use a fan which I prefer to air con. Yes, $407 all in PER MONTH. On arrival I get a free 90 day tourist visa. I also don't drink alcohol or smoke.

I loved my trips to Vung Tau in Vietnam and was going to make that my new holiday destination. But covid stuffed all of that up. They are going a bit the same way as Thailand did and only want tourists. They are making it more difficult to live there. Even when I knew people here who went on a visa run and had a flat in Vietnam, who couldn't get back in due to covid restrictions, I was having arguments with locals saying the place was open. When last I looked you had to organize a business visa to get in. I'm not up to date now though, what's the latest, do you know?

But seems like Phnom Pehn is more laid back than Bangkok. Although I loved Bangkok and other places I saw in Thailand, felt like Bangkok was crowded everywhere I went. I love how much space is in the coffee shop and restaurant you went to in the this video. There wasn't a ton of people in these establishments even though you are in a big city. Very nice.

I think the Cambodian currency is pronounced ri-el. I know some folks say reel but your channel is informational as well as educational, so it would be better to get tourists/foreigners to get the basics right. I noted that you handed the $100 note and received the change with your right hand. This is the proper way to do it. It drives me crazy when foreigners use their left hand to give and receive. This is incredible rude but the locals won’t say it though. Cheers!

@@Weebay_213 you best setting up remote digital work contracts from the country you live in now like your home country, then you will get your good income, then live in Cambodia etc on a better achievable lifestyle. Getting local work in Cambodia not the best way pay wise unless it's a special contract, with a international company, that type a job is only available in Thailand but those are rare in Cambodia.

Nice video mate. I'm surprised how modern and affordable your condo is. I recently spent a couple of months in Indonesia, mostly in Jakarta, and I'd say that day to day living expenses are similar in JKT to what you said. How do you get on with speaking? How wide spread is spoken English there? Also, are there any swanky malls there?

Level of English is OK but not as widely spoken as Thailand in my experience. Yes there's malls with Gucci, Armani and all the big brands if that's what you're looking for.

Did you live in Thailand previously? Maybe 6 months to a year ago I watched another video of yours where you could've been living in Thailand? I lived in Thailand from 2004-2006. During this period I did visit Cambodia - Phnom Penh, Siem Reap. To me, Cambodia was very eye opening in terms of how rural it was and underdeveloped. Seems like a lot has changed since then according to your video and others I've seen. I wonder what the main differences are between the two today?
