It's funny, I rented at the 4th Apartment place for 6 months ending this past December. I had a large studio, not the 1 bedroom unit. But It's fun to see my familiar place. There's a very nice family who runs this place. I rented a motor scooter by the month and "scooted" around all the time. I would/will go back there.
🙏🥰 Thailand holds some very special memories for me 🇹🇭 ❤️ I hope to head back to the visit some different islands and maybe return to some of my favourites, one day. 😃😜🤗
Hi Sonja, i have just found your channel and subbed. Im loving your content. I am a woman of similar age and im loving your adventurous spirit. Thats exactly how life should be done.❤ I love to travel also but at this moment i need to settle for travelling virtually so your channel is just brilliant. I binge watched yesterday. Keep up the good work girl. Thanks for all your hard work. Your content is much aporeciated. Sending love from Scotland 🙏❤️🏴
2 or 4 for me. I want an oven preferably. We've just started a 5 month SEAsia trip to see if we want to travel full time. Coming to Siem Reap at some point 😊
Number 4, no doubt about it. all 4 were good choices, but the price/quality there seemed higher. Cheers from Canada, where the weather is starting to turn.
Awwww thanks 🙏 I have no idea where or how many ads RUclips puts in. I think if you get premium then you don’t get ads but I’m not sure how much that is per month? Thank you for following 🥰
Great vlog, could you look at what apartments are available for wheelchair users please? Wide doorways, ground floor or with a lift, outside space, local coffee shop/bar/food stall. Thanks
IPS details are in the description Channy is great. I’m away for a few weeks. But if you email Channy he can definitely help you. I will see if I can find out when I get back in a few weeks
thanks nice, we Love Siem Reap and keep going back there, I don't know why, theres something about it, even though its not particularly special aside form the temples, but we really like the town and the people, I don't know what it is, those apartments are in a great spot, we walked past thanks for that
Definitely the last one. nice, big and cheap. OMG 350$ a month. The good thing about renting an apartments in Cambodia is that it comes furnished, free internet and sometimes they come and clean, and change bed sheets twice a month. In America, you have to bring your own furniture (empty) and extremely expensive and twice as small. One small bedroom apartment can cost 3500 dollars per a month and not as clean.
@@colinkosky I didn’t make it the Cabu when I was in the Philippines. Hopefully I will definitely get to visit one day. You should visit Cambodia it’s a truly beautiful place 🇰🇭
I love them all! It's so hard to make a decision. We are moving next year and I'm my own worst enemy as I'm constantly looking on IPS and all my favourite ones get rented (of course) LOL I went to see a few apartments last year from property 3 and its such a good location
All are to my taste. Number 4 if I had to make a choice. A walk everyday of an hour round trip is good. I, like many are asking myself why am I staying in the UK. The world is your Oyster, (as you are proving). Thank you for the video. Have a superb 2025.
@ that two bedroom would be awesome for a small family or roommate situation! They were all really nice. I’ll be looking up your guy when I get there😉. Do more🤣
Pity about number 4. It is the worst area of the four inner Siem Reap areas. The one on the water....amazing. That location, restaurants, ABA, river, gym....perfect.
@@JimmyJ-ne2uj It doesn't have the number of restaurants etc of the others. It is more an area for locals and not expats or tourists. Nothing wrong with that, but if you are a white guy, you will stand out like a sore thumb. Depends on what sought of cultural mix you want to live in. Number 4 may well be a great choice for you. You need to get a bike and drive around all the areas and see what you like. I live 3km South of Pub Street, very quite and very different from the areas shown in the video.
4, then 3. The first one would probably be too loud at night. For a week, it might be ok. Are these apartment rates dependent upon 6 month leases, typically?
@nanwithabackpack if you purchase citizenship, you can. That's why I would be there as a home base. But with all the really cool places you are showing me.. it makes even more sense. Great videos and thank you for sharing.
@@JWnFlorida Oh ok I did not know that. Maybe I will look into it in the new year. I have been stuck in my room editing footage since I returned from my 13 day trip!!!! I have a couple more to finish and then I will take a week away from my laptop and rest my eyes over Christmas. Happy Holidays 🎄😁🥰
@@JacquesAndreBeaulieu-ww6xl they were all the same price I think I said that but might have forgotten. All the links to every property are in the description and all the details are there. I believe property 3 has already been rented out. Electric is $0.25 in every property. Water is around $5-$10 per month. Hope that helps 😊
Why do people who do apartment tours say “ there is the bedroom, there is the bathroom , there is the kitchen, there is the balcony, there is the kettle, there is the shower “ Glad you told me as would have never guessed.

Hi Sonja Another good video but but but you are British and you talk dollars which might confuse some but the fact more than 25 countries use dollar as their currency with wildly different values your video becomes wildly confusing, should one assume you are only targeting an American audience?😢
It’s because Cambodia use dollars and all the apartments are priced in dollars. I am not clever enough to do the conversion from dollars to pounds in my head as I am talking so I use the currency that the property and the bills are charged in. If they were charged in euros, I would’ve called out the prices in euros if they were in yen I would’ve called them out in that currency. 💵

There is a whole range of options for renting in SR you can get a local home I have heard for around $60 per month although I have not seen any myself I have heard about them you can also find places at the other end of the spectrum that come in over $1,000 per month. I have looked at places in my two videos from $200 per month to $550 per month. Just to show a range. There is definitely something for everyone in SR whatever your budget. 🇰🇭
@@mikereed1972 wow please share any apartments you have viewed for $200 on the river with a pool and balcony. I would be extremely interested. 🥰 Thanks 🙏
@@nanwithabackpack I am just pointing out the obvious that the apartment you were talking about was right next to an intersection of traffic. Whether it has a pool and has views over a river makes it less desirable in my opinion. You are doing a good job I am offering constructive criticism that’s all. And the test of a good bed is , can you make love on it without your neighbours hearing you.
Too bad the climate in Siem Reap is typically so hot and humid, making it unlikely as an expat home for many of us from the US and Canada, especially the older demographic.
@@jeffkravitz9109 I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy the video. I am not a real estate agent i just thought I would give an overview of a few apartments at different price points.
