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.
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.
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.😊
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!
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?
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
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
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.

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.
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

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?
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 !?! 🤔
@@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.

Wow great location with the amazing restaurants around… looking forward to your restaurant tour videos…
What a great place 🤩 love how big it is for that price, and the view is magnificent 👌🏻 you really lucked out 🎉😎

Nice upgrade from your current apartment. Does this have pool and work out equipment? A must for me!!! Thanks for sharing…
I think it does not have those things. I don’t use either so I dont mind.

Wow great apartment in best location. Hope you have a great time there..😂🎉😢
Like your choice.. very economical apartment… I would choose the same one.. Russian market is a good location..
Great apartment!!! You done good!

You chose the right place Tom. $350 for a huge place like that, decent view, can't go wrong..
Nice and large… do you have concern on cooling it as the electricity is expensive? Does this have AC? Thanks…
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

The square meters of each apt would help.
Damn !!! Those apartments were nice !!!!!! The gym wasn't the greatest though
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.

Yea you’re not wrong. But I won’t run my AC too much and I’ll use fans instead most of the time
If you wanted a two bedroom apartment with two large room does it work out cheaper per person?

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