Can you AFFORD to RETIRE in SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA?
I have prepared a very basic monthly budget for people interested in retiring in Siem Reap, Cambodia. This is a spartan, rock bottom budget designed predominantly for single people who plan to live off their social security or pension.

A quick tour of some of our favourite places in the neighbourhood of Wat Bo, Siem Reap, Cambodia. If you are wondering where you should stay, this might be the best area for expats in the entire city.

Places to go and things to do on a budget in Siem Reap, Cambodia if you are travelling or moving here with children.
Good video sir....I'm arriving soon and I'm getting 900 dollars a month for my house in uk....so it sounds like I will just be ok.....well , happy I mean.
Find your content very good. Im back home but stay in Thailand and I think I must make a change to Combodia. Great info and hope to get there next year. 😅
Just got back home from Cambodia, did Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Koh Rong... I love the place... didn't see this side of Siem Reap though. Stayed in Wat Thmei as easy access to temples.
Took a Tour in Cambodia a few years back. Siem Reap eas the only place i liked. Was a cool place, lotta fun. The rest of Cambodia, nah.
Glad you are enjoying Siem Reap. Hope you made it to the Culture Park near the big ferris wheel.
some caveats.i got my retirement visa at 46y providing i have proof of my pension. my heair is for free i bought hairclippers and that costed me 20$ 9 years ago and they still work.a beer is mostly 50 cents.you have local gyms of 1$ a day.i have been living here for 11 years now.most expencive thing here is a gf
rents are down as a result of covid...how long before rents go up? How sustainable is this thanks
I'm told alot of expats lost their businesses during covid, went back home and didn't come back. Probably moved on with their lives. People say that the tourist numbers took a hit due to the new airport opening which is further away from town with limited flights, I suppose if there are more flights then more tourists will come, but I wouldn't expect that to affect long-term rents. In short, who knows, the whole world is broke right now.
Thanks great advice ❤❤❤😊😊😊😊 cheers from Australia
Great restaurant tips Thank You
fucking lazy video , go video the apartments, facebook quoting is totally shit. dont give up ya day job
Thanks for the advice and your kind words, please subscribe to the channel so you don't miss the next video.
Hard to believe the essentials for living can be had that cheap - when compared to the US ! -- My circumstances would fit so easily 'there' when compared to Biden's America ? -- Good job showing the frugal places available there (!) most ignore them in favor of more expensive rentals ! Personally I am old retired and alone - quite content as is - and in search of exactly what you described here ! Not much of a cook or cleaner - those would be nice to have covered. Also a small enough room to keep cool - affordably - is a necessity for me. = Perhaps $100 for each on a long term lease. Maybe $250 includes wifi tv cleaning elect / all in ? Thought of & would consider buying a 3 wheel tuk tuk for transportation ? Exploring the city and getting well acquainted would be fun - and pay off in knowing where all the best deals are ! - - - A wonderful place that I think will be quite comfortable to retire. 👍 🙏 ✌ ❤ 🍻
Great information
❤❤🙏🙏🇰🇭🇰🇭
Is it easy to open a bank account as a foreigner?
I'm actually planning to try and open one next month so we shall see, I'll make a video about it either way.
Great video. I'd liked you to go through buying a bike, prices and license.
If you have a license from an English speaking country you can use this to obtain a Cambodian driving license without taking a test, cost is $100. If your license is from a non English speaking country then you have to get it translated first, I was told this could be done at your embassy. However, you don't need a Cambodian license in Siem Reap, this law seems to have been waived here for foreigners driving motorbikes. Pricewise, I've seen bikes for sale on Facebook for $300 and I've seen others for thousands of dollars. Some people buy them in Phnom Penh and ship them up here.
My kids are adults now but interesting video anyway. I see you only have a few videos. It would be interesting to know how your young family ended up in Cambodia and are you staying their working from home?
Long story, I'll probably make a video about it at some point. Yes I work from home.
My wife is a Thai lady and when I go there from Canada for the winter months from Canada we've always gone to Vietnam for a month. This year we are pondering somewhere else I want to go to Cambodia but she does not. I wish she would give me a good reason as to why not but she doesn't. I know Thailand and Cambodia had history but I thought that was a long time ago. Oh Well, happy wife happy life. Thanks for the info. Be well.
Too many ex boyfriends
Bro - trying to help - I'm 1.24 in and can't cope with the speed you're changing frames.. Film makers rule since 1900 - 3 seconds, stop - reframe 3 seconds. Ppl need time to focus on what you had all day to see. good luck
Yeah the editing for that video is pretty fast, I find alot of vlogs to be a bit boring, I'm trying my best to avoid that but I think i overdid it on that one. Thanks for the tip.
I thought I had it good in this small town in Mexico where I pay $525 a month for a 2 bedroom apartment. That is almost your totaly monthly costs. 😮🎉
I wish these were my expenses, I fantasize about only spending a few hundred dollars a month haha. This is a spartan budget aimed at people looking to retire here, the kinds of expenses I had when I was a backpacker in my 20's, before I had a family to support.
Mexico is becoming quite expensive compared to what it used to be ? I wouldn't want to be there long term - it's going to get worse soon and much more expensive ! Cambodia Thailand Vietnam or the Philippines....
On hot days, and there are 365 of those every year, you’ll at least want to be able to drink cold water, so getting a room without a refrigerator is suicide. Being able to heat some water for coffee in the morning is also nice, so a hot water kettle is needed. Might as well get an apartment for $180 or $200 a month that has everything.
Where do you are ?!
Yes I do ! I already live here my expenses are only 400 $ at month, obviously not everyone can spend these! But I am good ,but I understand that not all people are good like me ! I am the best !!
get a microphone... :)
Thanks matt excellent coverage
Nice upload - very informative. Thanks! Subscribed.
I see this was posted recently but how recently did you produce this? Do you think the prices might be about the same in December? And thank you for your presentation.
I made the video a couple of weeks ago. During the high season the price of hotels and short term rentals may increase, however long term room rentals and food prices stay the same as far as I can tell.
Easy peasy moving to SR … thanks 🙏
Nice vlog mate thanks for all the info😅😅
I've been in Siem Reap for over 8 years. It is very affordable.
cecil - I heard from another that prices are about the same as they were 7 or 8 years ago ? Would you agree ? 🤔
😂 picture versus reality 😮😢,sod off I bet you are still living in wherever!
?
What a dumb comment
Thank you for reminding me about Facebook marketplace. I'm arriving next week and have already messaged several people about a place to stay for 5 months.
Well laid out video 👍
Helpful vid….subscribed. Constructive criticism……stay away from echo rooms……makes it harder to understand clearly. Keep up the good work
Thanks for the tip, I'm on my 3rd mic at this point, still trying to figure out the audio.
Yes I can. And having lived there, and having a Khmer wife, it is veeeeeeery tempting. We could rent out our home here in NZ and use the weekly income for a month's living in Siem Reap.... yeah....
I am from Belfast Currently living in Tonga in the south Pacific But I hope to be moving to Phnom Penh in the next month Would love to hook up with you to get some pointers if that works for you
I'm planning on setting up some social media accounts soon so you'll be able to reach me there if you have any questions you think I can answer.
Excellent information and presentation - Thanks 🙏
Have you ever seen a $40 a month siem Reap room? I will help you make a Siem Reap for cheap charlies film one day.
We can call that video 'You DEFINITELY CAN AFFORD to RETIRE in SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA'
Simple brilliant so helpful.
good
I enjoy the video...very informative.
Time to buy a radio mike
crazy echo atf first, you obviously didnt play to yourself to self critic. get professional if you wanna do well. Rushed and badly scripted.
Yes I can. And will be soon. Thanks for posting, great info !
❤
Matt out here proving you don’t need a million bucks to eat like royalty in Siem Reap! 🍜💸 The real question: How does he find all this amazing food and stay on budget? 👀 #FamilyFeastOnABudget #SiemReapEats #MattMcKenzieKnowsBest
