Destiny1990 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 In case of Visa troubles then relocating to Cambodia makes sense but as a City Bangkok is 100x better then shlt hole PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AQI likewise similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a go go honey with her hands down my shorts for a $5 lady drink any day..I can get a 60 baht kebab on the way home lol I agree but just to make a slightly point, casinos can work in your favour: when I visited Vegas years ago, I spent about 10USD on slots, and had a delicious steak dinner with "all you can eat" salad bar in a lovely restaurant for free. As long as you did some "gambling" the casino was happy. But to get back to the point: GoGo honey wins many times over casinos - I hope Thailand never allows casinos.

Thanks to all who presented great, informative, detailed information on Cambodia. I agree with a lot of the posts. I lived in PP in 2011-12 and visited many many times since 2004. I still have a soft spot for PP. I'm in Vietnam now due to two of my best friends who moved here from, you guessed it, Bangkok. But am still considering moving back to Cambodia. Will visit again in June or July. Thailand is out. [Insert colourful language here.] As for Vietnam, if you're thinking about it, try it. I'm not here to push my views on anyone. But, in no particular order, I'm not a big fan of Viet girls who are as hardcore as they come. The variety and quality of supermarket foods in VN is not on par with Thailand (or Phnom Penh). I really don't like it when Viet apartment hotels close the shutters at 10 or 11 pm. I've never felt more in harm's way than when I step into a Viet street with hundreds of motorcycles trying to kill me. And last but not least, the usual statement: I am nothing more than an ATM to the Viets of every age. Yadda yadda [more colourful language]. Off topic: phuketrichard wrote: I never thought I see you write this. Anyway, good luck. Yes I am surprised my thread blew up so fast. Happy to have this discussion. I am still trying to read everything. My question is, you said in Viet, they treat you like an ATM similar to thailand but not in cambodia at those levels.???? I am sick of the constant games some thais play trying to get money from me by lying or manipulation.

"Need money taxi" is a popular one. I gave up on the girls in TH and VN. As for Cambodia, to be honest, I'm out of touch the last few years really as I spent more time in VN. As for the regular Khmer girls, that will require more current experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as AQI, I thought the countries surrounding Thailand have bad air as well during the burning season. I do my own testing for my pastime. It's been difficult for some Cambodian exporters to pass the test needed for export because they don't poison their product. Vietnam is ok surprisingly considering what the warmongers did to it tho there are some areas that are destroyed for ever. The highlands around Dalat are very clean. There was an arrangement by both sides not to fight in that area. Excellent and different produce up there. Cambodia's air is ok. The bad air from the burning season in Thailand comes from neighbouring countries Burma and Laos. I used to live in Chiang Rai which is unliveable for about 4 months but getting longer every season.

I was answering JimmyJs quote about smoke coming from neighbouring countries. The neighbouring countries are Laos and Burma, not Cambodia. Of course Thailand makes its own smoke.

Mansell Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I spent a month in Siem Riep and the power seemed to go out every time it rained......and not for hours, for days. Each time I had to move into a hotel with a generator which got to be pricy. Drivers worse than here, and they're on the other side of the road. I would look at Vietnam before Cambodia.
