What Do Foreigners REALLY Think Of CAMBODIA
I arrived in Cambodia’s capital, Phnom Penh, in late December 2021. I had no idea what to expect - my expectations were low after spending 3 disappointing years in Bali.
I came to Cambodia at the time as it was the only country in Southeast Asia that opened its borders for international travel while the pandemic was still ongoing.
The government had the foresight to make it easy for international travelers to enter, unlike its neighboring countries, which still upheld quarantines or complicated and expensive procedures.
I’ve now been living in Cambodia for 2.5 years and I have no plans other than staying.
It’s the best country I’ve visited and lived in. I’ve lived in 7 countries on 3 continents over the past 4 decades. I’ve also traveled to many other countries for business or pleasure.
I believe that qualifies me as a seasoned international traveler and an experienced expat.
My Cambodia Uncovered Story So Far
I’m not close to finishing exploring Cambodia - I’ve only scratched the surface to better understand the country and its people.
That’s the main element of establishing a successful and happy life in any country -understanding its culture, practices, traditions, how things tick, and how to interact with people.
You can only function well as an expat in any country if you grasp and practice those basics.
Unfortunately, many expats worldwide don’t bother - instead, they remain in their bubbles with each other and don’t care about the country they’re living in or how its people see them.
And that’s why expats are often unpopular, particularly in Southeast Asia.
Next on my exploring calendar:
Sihanoukville, the Islands, Mondulkiri Province, the mountains of Mondulkiri, and the elephant sanctuaries.
I can only strongly recommend you visit Cambodia soon. You will not be disappointed!

Thank you for promoting Cambodia to the world. Love you
@@peterchor-zx1eg thank you brother and it’s my passion and pleasure
Thank you Rob, will let you know when travel plans are finalized.
Thanks for sharing, mate! I will retire in Cambodia. I just subscribed to your channel ❤
Thank you and let me know if I can help
I truly loved your video ~ thoughtful, insightful, and inspiring !!
❣

Kampot Paradise
It’s lovely yes
Thank you Rob, have been doing mental gymnastics Vietnam, Philippines, Cambodia, Laos🤔... one thing I abhor is tons of hoops and paperwork.
Looking to head that way for several months end of January for recon purposes.
I am a simple man with simple wants/needs.
@@TimTopus-u1g Heaps of red tape everywhere but Cambodia.
Let me know if you need more info.

Thank you for your explanation
@@ASEANPPART my pleasure
You might mention that the healthcare is sub-par. I tried moving there, but left after a few months. Three visits to 'clinics' and one to what they called a hospital, and I finally fled back to the West for actual treatment.
They seem to have two choices there for Drs - locals who are poorly trained, or Drs from abroad who couldn't make it in their own countries.
@@sctt2525 I did mention that problem in my video which tells me you didn’t watch the whole thing. However, things are improving here fast now.
@@robhourmontmba I did indeed finish the video. After your comment, I went back and watched it again. And, while much of what you say can barely be heard above that horrid bass music, I still didn't hear much about how bad the healthcare is there. People should be warned that the healthcare is archaic in Cambodia and that they are taking quite a risk on their life if they have health concerns.
Yes living Cambodia is simple life
Thank you for choosing Cambodia
100% every time. Cambodia is the best
100% Cambodia is the best !
great encouraging video cheers!
Thanks
Thanks for sharing
Pleasure
Evening from Phnom Penh, love your video ❤
@@CambodiaLifeTV thank you so much
@@CambodiaLifeTV thanks so much
After 10 years of Nicaragua, I'm ready for a change. My concern with Cambodia is the heat. In Nicaragua, air conditioning is not always required and my electric bill is usually about $30. So, where can an American go, in Cambodia, and feel relatively comfortable with the temperature? I have no problem with 92 degrees outside and 78-80 in the house. Cambodia is high on my list of next destinations, but I don't want to stay in all day and go out only at night. Thanks for the video.
It gets hot but it’s manageable. Driving a motorcycle or going for a swim always helps. In the south by the sea in Kampot and Kep there’s always a nice breed keeping things cooler.
I walk a lot each day around 10km and I’m fine with the heat and breeze. I work at a cafe with an outside terrace and they have fans, so again, that’s fine.
At night I use the AC for 1 hour before bed to cool down the room, then turn it off and only use a fan.
Don’t worry about the heat here, especially if you go south.
When are you thinking about coming ?
@@robhourmontmba Hi Rob. My usual routine is to depart the US in October and return in April. Nicaragua used to be more flexible with allowing 90 days plus another 90. I want to ride a motorcycle through the countryside and eat good cheap food.
@@Mr.DamianM well, Cambodia is your best choice then. Visas are dirt cheap and you are totally free here
@@Mr.DamianM and I’ll help you get set up easily so you will have a smooth and easy process getting to know Cambodia. There is not one single county in the world I know that’s better to live in than Cambodia
Thanx Rob !

Practically free lifestyle affordable and organics diets from decent to luxury grades of lifestyle Cambodia will love you truly loyal people. Cambodia won’t deceive you. Cambodia it’s revival again as in the era of 1950-60-1970 known as the Golden Era or the Pearl of SEA! Please enjoyed your stay most of all be respectful and kind ! ❤🥰🙏
@@hf..7271 thanks my friend. You are right. Cambodia is awesome. For me it’s the best place to live.
@@robhourmontmba
You are very welcome ! It takes an intelligent and a maturity man as you are to find out the true beauty of Khmer country. I’m glad to know that you’ve found your true meaning and a purpose place to spent your life . Wishing you a happy lifestyle full of love and gratitude 🙏🇰🇭☺️
@@hf..7271 thank you so much my friend. Yes. When I arrived in Cambodia in 2022, it only took 2 weeks until I fell in love with your country
Accommodation in Pattaya/Jomtien seems to be as cheap if not cheaper than Cambodia.
Electricity is cheaper in Thailand
Food in Thailand is cheaper.
Pattaya/Jomtien are very safe for foreign retirees and they have good quality cheap hospitals.
Baht buses are cheaper than tuk tuks, air conditioned bolt taxis in Pattaya are as cheap as tuk tuks in Cambodia.
The main attraction of Pattaya is the beach to walk on.
Cambodia may win on less complicated visas but not much else.
Convince me otherwise
@@noklekpui lol.
1. Pattaya is a disgusting shit hole.
2. Accommodation is far cheaper in Cambodia.
3. Electricity is the same.
4. Cambodian people are the friendliest in the world.
5. Tuk Tuk, while the drivers are stupid assholes, they are dirt cheap.
Please don’t make false comments about things you know zero about.
Oh, and I’d much rather pay $250 per annual visa than $2000 +++
Plus, the Police in Thailand are assholes too. Not here in Cambodia. They are super friendly.
That real Cambodia are
1-peopls friendly
2-cheap food and hotel
3-safe
4-good weather
5-has many templs
@@JoengPhengHai yep it’s an amazing country
How about internet speed Thailand vs Cambodia? I’ve lived in Siem Reap for a while but it can get unreliable, and therefore more hard to keep up an online business. Or is Phnom Penh better?
Internet in Thailand is mostly faster and more reliable. The problem in Cambodia is that there is only one too notch provider, Sinet, but they are expensive so many businesses opt for the cheaper ones that often drop, plus they choose cheaper plans with only 20 or so GB.
PP is definitely better than SR as is small Kampot town.
@@robhourmontmba Awesome, good to know. Thanks Sir!
@@Dylan-Blok welcome. I use Cellcard LTE and connect that to my laptop when traveling. Works very well and fast, almost everywhere
I am interested in retiring in Kampot but I am wary.
Do they have a decent hospital?
Phnom Penh nightlife has become too expensive and Sihanoukville is a ghost town compared to 10 plus years ago.
What is the nightlife scene like in Kampot.
Are there plenty of 7-11s.
I hope overall Kampot is cheaper than other areas in Cambodia
@@noklekpui yes they do
How does the cost of living compare to Thailand?
@@hellochriis it’s about 30% cheaper in Cambodia. Only apartment rentals are similar to Bangkok in Phnom Penh
Hi Rob! I just subscribed to your channel, coming to Phnom Penh from Saigon. Is the visa cost you mention with agency or DIY?
@@dreamchaser3820 with agency and sponsorship
@@robhourmontmba Thanks Rob.
Cambodia has a low cost of living for simple life. Good decision moving to Cambodia 😊
@@Mengtraveling yes that’s true but it also has a high quality living!
Just found your channel. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for subscribing and thank you for your support
I have dog phobia, how serious is stray dogs problem in Cambodia?
@@notewala hi. No they are not a problem. They are mostly not stray either. They just bark when you walk past their house, because they are scared and want to be loud. No dog ever tried to attack me, unlike they do in Bali.
@@robhourmontmba I also faced a tough time in Bali because of stray dogs.
@@notewala yes, it’s a massive problem there. Here not at all
@@robhourmontmba Thanks for the information & reply.
❤️🙏🙏❤️
Thailand high quality of living and laws 🇹🇭
@@PEACEKEEPER-mm3js not really. Laws here too and excellent quality of life
❤❤❤
How long stay that visa .this is not last like that forever
Yearly visa for $280
Tried to get Cambodian citizenship if you can.
@@smokeymeow52how n why?
hi where is the place? siem reap?
It’s in Kampot
Subscribed……thinking on Cambodia
@@MarkBennett007 thanks Mark. You will love it here. Great people, easy-going and relaxed. But plenty of action if you want it!
I really like Siem Reap. Detest taking shoes off all the time - and - not flushing toilet paper ! ( Ridiculous to save used toilet paper !!! )
@@KB3TLE thanks for your comment. I never had to take off my shoes in SR, wherever I went. Where did that happen to you ?
Toilet paper? What for? The ass spray is efficient and far cleaner. Cleans your ass nicely!
You don't have to visit the Thai immigration office every 3 months at all its online now, Cambodia easy for sure but for good reason, no doubt its laid back compared to Thailand but the country can't be compared to Thailand and is also more expensive with very few beaches, glad you enjoy it'
It may be online but there is a lot of red tape in Thailand. Thailand is way more expensive than Cambodia! The police in Thailand also rob tourists daily for riding motorcycles that they can rent without a license but can’t drive without a license. It’s a set up money making scheme.
Cambodia has everything Thailand does, beaches included and mountains too. It’s simply much smaller, easier to get around and the locals are so so much more friendly.
I’ve been to Thailand many times and I can compare the two very well. I choose Cambodia as it’s much better placed to live
@@KLANGBAN01 very much serious. Clearly you know nothing about Cambodia and how difficult Thailand is. I and many others will choose Cambodia over Thailand x 1000
@@robhourmontmba Are you serious? ^-^
@@KLANGBAN01 very very very. So many more benefits in Cambodia, visas cost next to nothing, you can work anywhere you want, and it’s a beautiful country and the locals are a heck of a lot friendlier than in Thailand ! And it’s far more affordable also.
Btw. Cambodia is far cheaper than Thailand and has plenty of amazing beaches. You just don’t know it. I’m not here for the beaches. I work and enjoy life here. You should try that some day.
😊❤
So beautiful that Loyd Austin want's regime change.
Funny funny. I guess you have never been and don’t know anything! Who cares what America wants. You are in enough trouble as it is
@@robhourmontmba I follow the News on TV.Every day.And in what trouble I'm in?
@@lindakep3968 I didn’t say you are in trouble. The USA is and they need to never ever call for a regime change again. We have seen countless times how badly that worked out. We also saw America arming and aiding the Khmer Rouge to kill its people so that the USA could fend off Vietnam. Do you also know (if you know the news so well) that Richard Nixon carpet bombed Cambodia to get to the Vietnamese crossing through. By doing so he killed more Cambodian’s than Pol Pot!!!
@@robhourmontmba yes 238.000 innocent children women man.
Henry Kissinger orders.
@@robhourmontmba I know of many regime change USA did and succeed.Thats why I didn't like that "speech".
Beeing honest.. just come there and look by yourself. Than check out Vietnam and Thailand. Than you know where to live or retire😂😂😂😂
@@PeterBatram oh I know already and I am not retired but working hard buddy
Despite Thailand having better infrastructure and healthcare system than Cambodia due to being ahead. I don't see much of a difference between the two countries. A foreigner might get Cambodian citizenship much easier than Thai.
Oh there’s a massive difference. As I mentioned in the video (you clearly didn’t watch), working here as a foreigner is legal and you can set up your own business with low cost or work for locals. The cost of visas is 10% of that in Thailand, and there’s much less red tape, no police hassle, everyone and everything is carefree and easy-going !
@@robhourmontmbaI did watch your video. I was referring to the landscape and geography of both countries ( Mountains, hills, Sea, Islands, and such.) I do agree Canbodia is more relax when it comes to Visa rules and regulations. This is why I mention you can get Cambodian citizenship much easier than Thai citizenship without having to marry a local. When Cambodia modernize and develop more on their healthcare and infrastructure there probably will be mass foreigners trying to relocate there in the future.
@@imperialkhmer6146 well, the only difference is that Thailand is much larger so has more of the geographical places you mentioned. However, Cambodia has all of this too, just on a smaller scale, which for me is a bonus as traveling around Cambodia is easy and fast.
I agree that infrastructure needs to be improved, such as roads, healthcare etc.
But it’s not just the low cost of visas and easy-going regulations for foreigners to work here, it’s also because the local are so friendly and welcoming.
@imperialkhmer6146 Yes, Foreigner can get Combodian citizenship much easier than Thailand, especially foreinger who act or say somthing bad about Thailand will get Cambodain citizenship easily. There are two foreigner boxers get it from doing that.🙂
@@KLANGBAN01 That is true lol. Just don't say something about Vietnam you will go to jail 🤣
They'd legalize medical weed to attract more tourists I think. At least me I mean :)
@@polatmaras9497 Thailand yes. Not in Cambodia
Yeah Thailand is way too complicated to live in with there visa system crap
True
MUCH in cambodia is like Thailand was 20-25years ago regarded as the "golden years" in thailand by many expats.
i was kind of amazed over the face lift and the infrastructure lift siem reap have done only in 8-9 yrs..and would probably thinking to move there.
been living and working +15 years in Bangkok/Thailand and are now semi retired by own choice in Philippines and getting tired of all the problems here sp siem reap is sure on the list for the next adventure
Well, that’s wrong as many great things have changed here in recent years
You are safe in Cambodia now. Many good hospitals and doctors are available
A good idea for sure. Cambodia is safe, laid back, you can do what you want, visas are cheap,foreigners can work anywhere for anyone, and nobody asks any questions. Siem Reap is ok but it can get boring. I was there for 10 months. I prefer the coastal area, Kampot, Kep, SV, plus the islands
@@robhourmontmba
@@robhourmontmbaWhat about the women?
I was dating a beautiful 34 year old Cambodia girl here in Thailand before Covid. She went home to see her Mum as Covid struck and we got separated.
