Hey guys,
I have just joined the forum today and I'm looking forward to speaking with you all. I've been living in Cambodia now for over five years and what can I say, I love this place. Currently living in Kampot and have a business here but looking to move up to Phnom Penh and start getting myself back into the working life again.
If you guys have any suggestions for work in hospitality that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi Warren, Are you sick Kampot ? And are you selling your business ? my name is Guy , nice to talk with you a little , I will be moving over soon.
Hello Guy,
Im not sick of kampot it's a beautiful relaxing little town but after 5 years i'm looking for something a little more exciting. In terms of my business i was going to leave it to my misses and staff to run but if someone was to off the right price then i would'nt say no to a sale.
Warren
ok then , maybe you should start a new topic or thread , business for sale , Thanks for the heads up on Kampot, nice chatting for you ,
Regards Guy
Was not planning on selling until you said something lol. No need to start a new thread but thanks for pointing me in the right direction if the time comes
Time to introduce myself!
I’m Gary from Aschaffenburg, Germany and I’m living in Koh Kong for more than two years now.
First time I’ve been in Cambodia was in December 2015, after a friend on Facebook recommended me to visit Cambodia. I cancelled my flight back to Germany and lived here about six month, before I went back and sold everything I had.
Now I have a beautiful Cambodian girlfriend and we’ll getting a baby soon.
It’s a wonderful country to live in. I’ve never met such friendly people in my life before.
Have a nice day!
Hello Gary, welcome on board this forum.
No need to say I hope you have a good time, as you enjoy life to the fullest already.
Congrats on a wise choice.
Cheers.

Hello Murni.
Not so easy but try the following link where you find Indonesian people living in PP:
/en/network/asia/c … hnom-penh/
Further in the Daun Penh area are the most expats. Meeting places are Olala restaurant st 136, Grand River st 178, Baguetterie st 144.
And if he wants to eat Indonesian food, my favourite is Warung Bali on street 178, excellent [halal] food.
Good luck.

Hello all.
I am not a newbie in Sihanoukville but I am a newbie on this site.
I need help/instructions/suggestions on how to post many items for sale.
My Mom had a severe stroke last December and I am forced to sell many items that are in great shape. But how to do this I am not familiar.
Please advise.

Have you considered the obvious EBAY , LetGo etc.
may sound bizarre in Cambodia but you never know,.
also and this sounds obvious in NY
simply put up a bunch of signs with pics of items up around your neighbourhood and make flyers for cafes where folks who may by hang out
SUNDAY HOUSE SALE ALL ITEMS MUST GO.
make a party out of it put post-it labels n everything, it works use chalk to put arrows on the street!
good luck
by the way do you know anyone who has bought land and is building in s ville or for that matter any expats who own businesses on the islands?
advise
what sort of business?
im v interested in speaking to expats with business in cA especially hosels aor bachotels or beach hut owners etc

Welcome , I want to go to Malaysia, any recommendations, on nice water areas quiet not so tourist oriented? Maybe stay a few months , but welcome to you , I’m retired so work is not a issue
G'day.
I'm new here and due to me falling in love with a Khmer woman. I shall be with you all for many years to come .
I have a wonderful story about falling in love finally.
Also the follow up long ending can not get a visa story, with some help here it may end up a wonderful tin shack to a bright future for a Khmer woman in Australia.
I have everything crossed here as my information shows this bad boy that will stop us being together in Australia ."If a sponsor has convictions for a relevant offence and a significant criminal record, we must refuse the visa " was 30 + years ago and no real relevance though.
So yes Im here and i could use some help as well as provide some to other's somehow.

I am An Engineer from the UK I am 54 years old . I want to move to Cambodia to marry my 40 year old girl friend is this possible
Not really as men over 50 are not allowed to marry a Cambodian girl/woman.
You could marry somewhere else and try to have it registered in Cambodia.
Search the threads here, it has been discussed before and some people managed to do it the right way.
Good luck.

Hi I am new to this group . I am a Engineer from the uk , working in Australia . I am looking to move to Siem Reap to marry my 40 year old Cambodia girlfriend I am 54 . Any help on the Cambodian law please
You post this for the second time.
No help on Cambodian laws. As I mentioned in my previous answer Cambodia doe not allow men over the age of 50 to marry Cambodian girls/women. That's it.
So try to circumvent it, marry somewhere else and try to register in Cambodia. Hold a "dirty" ceremony with one monk, one photographer, costumes for bride, groom, parents. This is more for the family as they can say my daughter is married, see the photos. You would really need an official marriage certificate if children are involved.
Cheers.
