- Retire in Cambodia a good idea? It was for me. Living in Cambodia as a Foreigner has been an incredible experience. In this Cambodia Vlog I go to one of the best wet markets in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Cost of living in Cambodia in 2024 is attracting many foreigners who are either thinking about or ready to retire in Cambodia.
I decided to retire in Cambodia last year after only visiting this beautiful country only once before. The wet markets in Siem Reap, Cambodia are full of friendly vendors offering a variety of fresh foods at great prices.
After shopping at one of the best wet markets in Siem Reap, I take you to my Apartment in Siem Reap, Cambodia where we prepare a delicious Khmer dish from the produce we purchased at the wet market. I'm so happy I decided to retire in Siem Reap, Cambodia and I encourage anyone thinking about it to visit first. Living in Cambodia as a foreigner might be the right choice for you. It definitely was for me.
I hope you enjoy this Cambodia vlog about shopping at one of the best wet markets in Siem Reap.

Living in Cambodia definitely is cheaper and better. The cost of living in Siem Reap Cambodia is attractive. Some items are more or less the same price but most are less and cleaner. Keep up the great videos. Good work. Keep it up. Inspiring more to retire in Cambodia who are thinking about it is admirable. You have a way of explaining things in a simple way and always answer questions and comments. Good man
Living in Cambodia has been amazing and the cost of living in Siem Reap is great! Now I will compare the cost of living in Phnom Penh since I just recently moved to Phnom Penh. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment. Have a wonderful day 🙏

Does WET MARKET mean local market ? ❤😂 enjoy your video btw
Yes you are right.😀 It’s basically a market selling fresh meat, fish, and produce. Thanks so much for watching and enjoying my video. I appreciate the comment! Great question! Have a wonderful day 🙏😀
Great market how far is from your apartment. Did they have sheep or goat meat?? You didn't buy beef meat ha ha .Dallas tx I love your video how much you pay for tuk tuk? To many questions sorry 😅😅😅
Thanks for watching! I didn’t buy goat meat or beef this week at this market 😂 . Both are available though. Great question! My Tuk Tuk was $1.50 USD. I always appreciate the questions! Have a great day! 🙏
@@SteveExpatLivingInCambodia every Friday party 🥳🎉you are in paradise Brother. Whole seim reap love you. Just practice the khmer language.❤👍
Yes it’s a wonderful day to shop and meet my local friends! I’m so grateful to the Khmer people for being so welcoming, helpful and kind to me. I’m practicing Khmer language but I need to practice more 😂
I would be in trouble.
I wouldn't know what to buy because I don't know how to cook the food that they have their.😂😂😂😂 I have to find me one of them Asian ladies there to come home and cook for me.😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤ Nice market but I would be screwed😂😂😂😂😂
Great comment! 😂 I didn’t know how to cook their food at first. I understand.The many amazing and kind neighbours and friends you meet here will gladly teach you their ways of cooking and i tried a lot of times to get it right and I’m still trying 😂 but my girlfriend has so many years of experience it’s just so delicious compared to my cooking. I’ll keep on trying 😂 You will find so many friends and have a great Khmer food experience that’s for sure! Thanks so much for watching and I appreciate the comment! Have a great day! 🙏👍🇰🇭❤️
Is beef expensive there?
Beef is around $12/kg at this wet market. Pork ribs are around $5 to $6/kg. Chicken is around $5/kg. Thanks for watching! Great question! I appreciate the comment. Have a nice day.
How much was all that food Steve?
Hi, it was about $50 USD. Thank you for the comment 🙏 I appreciate your continued support. Have a wonderful day 😀
How much do these short tuk tuk journeys cost please
$0.75 to $2.50. My average is $1.25
If your sweating by 9am that meat must spoil fast, two hours warming up and a not so clean table for two hours then the ride home in the sun 🤔🥵🤢. I'd be there at the crack of dawn with a small ice bin to get my food.
Could you bring a box of your own containers so you don't need their plastic bags & containers or would they tell you to go away weird foreigner?
Thanks for watching! Everything has been delicious and this is how the Khmer people have been doing it for a long time. Have neighbours and friends who are from all over the world who have been shopping here for many years and they are just fine. For me, it’s been almost a year and have had no issues with food. Yes you can bring an Ice box if you are planning to stay a while that’s true, great point. I’m in and out within less than an hour. I bring my own large red plastic reusable bag that you see throughout the video. They would never be rude to you and tell you to go away. These are kind, beautiful and happy people as you see throughout all my videos. Awesome comments, thanks 🙏 I appreciate the questions! Have a wonderful day! 😀👍
@@SteveExpatLivingInCambodia Hey, I've shot animals gutted and stashed the opening against a rock for days as well. Low single figures in deg C though. The trick is if your out for a week take some rice. aways cook meat at the end of the trip with a sprinkle of rice. Then if there has been flies around, you just think it's rice 👍 Leaving the skin on, hanging is a tree and washing the meat can only do so much.
Thanks for the response, I'm a bit of a tree hugger and try to keep single use plastic as little as possible.
Can anyone go and catch a fish there? A box of beer and $20 would surely get you on a locals boat 🙂
Awesome! That’s fantastic 😀 Yes I have videos about fishing with locals on RUclips. We catch and BBQ the fish while singing karaoke and having cold beers and enjoying the beautiful Siem Reap, Cambodia countryside. Amazing video! Hope you check it out.
Tree hugging is all good! I planted a lot of trees in Canada throughout my lifetime. So cool you hunt! I miss hunting with some of my friends. Hope you have a great day and thanks for sharing! Very informative. 🙏👍
Wow you got rid of the beard
Yes, I gave it a good trimming 😂 Thanks for watching! Appreciate the comment 🙏
We do the same way, but normally add extra pig blood jelly with that recipe❤. Ask your girl, did she ever tried like that before?
Yes, we have tried it with blood jelly. It’s so delicious! Yum! Thanks for watching! Appreciate the awesome comment! Now I’m hungry for blood jelly 😂 It’s so good! 😊
@@SteveExpatLivingInCambodia ask her if she knows how to cook lemongrass ( calls kroung ) stir fry with cow tongue and string beans. It's so delicious 😋
That’s a fantastic idea! I’ll ask her if she has tried it. Maybe I can try it soon! Awesome idea. Thanks for recommending. I’ve tried cow tongue and look forward to trying it prepared the way you mentioned. Thanks so much for the comment! Have a nice day
@@SteveExpatLivingInCambodia you bet. Have a great time there brother🇰🇭
Thanks! Will do 😀 Have a great day! 🙏
