Great timing posting, thanks Tom.
Welcome back to trip out in the Kingdom of Wonder…
Good tips. When I moved to Cambodia there were so many basic things that weren't available but now it's pretty easy. I used to bring duct tape for a guy who had lived here since the early 90's. Now I bring things I like from Cambodia to the US when I visit. Good luck!
New subscriber… welcome back to the Kingdom
You should do a video on tours of hostels and show which one is the cheapest. Everyone has been suggesting to pay to live 1 month at a hostel, so you have time to settle into your teaching job and buy a motorbike and find an apartment, that you are happy with, rather than being stuck in a bad apartment for 1 year, because you were rushed. Also talk about month by month apartments. Even in the Philippines, you can find landlords that do the month by month, rather than doing a 1 year lease.
Great info
I'm heading back to Cambodia 🇰🇭 in a wk & I can't wait. TEFL certifies & ready to trip out like you Tom
Cool me too a little after that, we should all meet up or something
Awesome! Im excited for you 😎. Thats soo soon!!! - If you need job assistance check out AVSE. www.avse.edu.vn theres a program just for job placements. Tom Trips Out
😂🎉😢
Thank you Tom, another good video.
✌️
Would you consider doing a video on places in Phnom Pehn that remove tattoos? I know it's cheaper in Thailand than the west and I am curious if it's the same in Cambodia. Just a thought, anyway, appreciate your content. 😊
I’ll look into it
I like also to add if you have an online Charles Schwab bank account, you can use your ATM card any where and they will credit back your ATM fees at the end of each month. Sharing is caring!
Yep, bring the highest quality things that you like…
I completely disagree on one thing and its my opinion. Bring a pair or two of jeans or long pants. I wear a 34" x 34" and it's impossible to find here in PP. I spend my days in shorts and T shirts, I agree but I have had some occasions to wear a pair of jeans in the last three years. Also I wear a size 12 shoe ( 46Euro). Bring two pairs of gym shoes or whatever, because size 12 is a monster foot here. The advice is great about bringing your products you like but now at AEON you can find about anything similar and switch brands. One thing I will say in moving to Cambodia pay the airline extra bag fee when coming and load up with some extra things. Great Video though
Thanks for the PRATICAL tips!!!
Perfecting timing as I'll be headed to cambodia in November for tefl course
If you haven’t filled out the paperwork yet for the TEFL course remember to mention Tom Trips Out. If its too late dont worry about it. Thanks for watching 🙏
@@TomTripsOut I did 😁. Had a zoom call last night with Peter. And when asking if I knew anything about Cambodia said actually I've been watching a guy on RUclips tom trips out and he remembered you and was like well that's the right place to get info
Hey Tom, I'm coming to Camboadia....in 2 months...
got a question about gaming. I plan to bring a gaming laptop and a nintendo switch with me. How's the wall outlet situation? Can we use our 3 prong adaptors there or do we have to buy power converters?
You dont need power converters. You might need the 3 prong adapter when a certain outlet only has 2 holes. But all my stuff from canada plugs in here. And there are stores here that sell that stuff anyway
It’s 230 volt.
I always wear the same two t-shirts hahaha and three shorts.
Did you bring your musical instruments with you, ship them separately, or sell them and buy new gear?
Can you speak about gyms in siem reap and what they look like? Also if you plan on staying in Siem Reap for the rest of your life?
Well I live in Phnom Penh but i can tell you theres gyms you can go to that are the same as back home. Alot of apartment buildings have a gym included in the building too.
Hot and humid, I wud like that place.. Caz I'm freezing cold in the UK and I'm told it's not even winter😢😢😢
Hahah its even colder where im from
Very useful info. What is the situation with electronics? And repairs? Should i bring my mic and other stuff or is it better to buy there?
Up to you. There are plenty of modern shops and big shopping malls that have all kinds of stores. But sometimes things can be more expensive here if they had to ship it in.
I'm cambodai right now
The locals just live by a few hundred dollars a month but there is always an option in life. If you could live, eat, and sleep like locals, you could even stretch your $ much further. Be kind, be cool, and take care. Greetings from a genocide survivor there!
It's might hard to live like the locals when you're a white elephant. Nobody's gonna rent to you in the same places for the same amount. That being said you don't have to live like the majority of expats either.
Good advice...not sure I would use the body bag...someone could grab it and you get dragged down the road. I think I will go with cargo pants with button down and zipper pockets.
Just had a worrying thought. With all the other Asian countries making it harder for expats to remain living there due to changed visa requirements, will they flood to Cambodia? This will cause the price of apartment rentals to increase
I dont think theres enough to make a noticeable impact. Theres so much space here
Hi Tom
Can you suggest a good estate agent for rental property in Phnom Penh. Thanks. Also is there anyone you talk talk to when you get there.
I’d suggest searching on FB - search Facebook groups for apartments in Phnom Penh. The majority of stuff is done on FB. One real estate place is CAMfirst - I have a video called how to find an apartment. Check my How To playlist
Hey Tom, wondering if you could talk about your experience in navigating the complicated Canadian tax. Did you declare yourself a non-resident for tax purposes? Did you give up your driver's license, provincial health card, etc.? So many questions.... any tips/knowledge you could share would be much appreciated. Thanks!
I use my parents address on all those pieces of ID. When I initially left Canada I wasn't certain how permanent it would be for me, or if I would like it, or if it would even work out. So I haven't dealt with those details yet. But I was just talking to my parents about figuring that out - Now that I know I want to stay. When I get it sorted I will make a video about it.
@@TomTripsOut Thank you!!!
What kinds of meat are commonly available? How reliable is electricity?
Pork and chicken and lots of fish. The beef here sucks. The cows are thin and muscley and the meat is a little tough. But there is beef from Australia available anywhere that is much better. There’s a South African butcher called SuperMeats everyone raves about it. Electricity is a lot better than it used to be - I think I had one outage this year that lasted 20 mins. It’s expensive tho. 0.25 /kw. There are huge indoor grocery stores and and malls - you can buy any type of meat you just might pay more if it was imported
@@TomTripsOut thank you.
Hey tom, can i bring my vape gear through cambodian customs? Im quit smoking for years now, and just vaping. I wonder how about vape scene there too. Thanks
@@chandrazanpacku2704 I think officially they are banned in Cambodia. But you can easily buy them at smoke shops. You just may not be allowed thru airport with it. I’m not fully sure cause I don’t vape. Try googling it
@@TomTripsOut aight thanks
Easy peasy, just DONT GO!
uh lol
Are you part of a band?
Yea I’m in a few, and I also do solo acoustic stuff
@@TomTripsOut wow! Just subscribed to your channel. Planning on going to Phnom Penh last quarter of this year, but signed up for a CELTA. Convince me now why I should take AVSE TEFL instead 🙂🍺✌️
@@vermont741 well I can’t effectively compare and contrast the two because I don’t know what’s offered in your CELTA or how much it costs. I can tell you the main features and benefits to AVSE, and you will have to contrast it with the CELTA program. The in country program is $1657 - 4 weeks full days. Mon to Fri …near the end you get to do observations in schools of real teachers teaching and several different age levels, and you get to go back and take over their class as practice and get feedback from them. - and as you complete the course they line you up with job opportunities. Basically get you a few job interviews. They are also government accredited and have a very strong reputation. They also do Vietnam, so they can find you work there too IF you have a degree
@@TomTripsOut thanks, almost the same as CELTA I guess? Theory and practicum. Well, I have a few more months to decide. Cheers!
I can't believe I binge watched your videos all day! Since I posted above this morning!
Hope to catch one of your gigs when I move there end of the year! Cheers 🍺
Are you in Phnom Penh?
Yess
@@TomTripsOut Another question: Since I have quite a few years of adult ESL teaching experience (business/conversation, etc) in Seoul and Boston, if I were to try my hand in Cambodia would I look towards just the Phnom Penh or are other cities a reasonable possibility? I was also a high school teacher for a few years and I'm not adverse, but I'm not looking to wipe baby's noses if you know what I mean. Thanks, and I like your videos.
@@dansecor8753 I was teaching like 13 year olds and now I work at a language center that does business English for adults. So it doesn’t have to be kids. I’m the same way I think I wouldn’t go lower than grade 7. Siem Reap has schools too
@@TomTripsOut Thanks Tom, keep up the content - it's good stuff👍
I'm finding job can you help me
@@MYLOVEST if you are certified to teach English I can recommend the course with AVSE. it costs $790 and includes job assistance. I don’t give out jobs I’m just a RUclipsr
@@TomTripsOut how I can get cpures
