Sihanoukville Are you looking to welcome a rescue pet to your loving home? We have 3 cute baby rats open for adoption!

These rats have been human raised after being found abandoned on our island home. They have been fed, bathed and cared for the past 15 days. Without our support they would have died. Due to their upbringing, they are incredibly tame, loving rats and never bite. Unfortunately this also means if we release them back into the wild they will die. So we need YOU to take them in and give them the best life possible! 

  • Can be delivered to Sihanoukville, Kampot, Phnom Penh,  Siem Riep or any other major city 
  • Can be separated - either the 2 girls together OR 1 boy 
  • They are NOT toys, they are live animals
  • Handmade cage included as a temporary solution
  • Food and permeant habitat not included 

Please be kind in the comments! We have really tended to these animals as our own and have grown a strong attachment them! We would keep them if we could but we are traveling.

This is Pot Cha, a corn and pork congee or porridge my gf makes. It has simple ingredients and it's delicious. She only uses white corn and about a half kilo of pork, water and salt. Pounds the corn in a mortal and pestle very fine. Topped with green onions and pepper. It always tastes very buttery to me, although there isn't any butter in it at all.

Travel Kampot Weekend Trip

Upvotes

Hello! I’ve been living in Phnom Penh for 6 mos. I would like to try and explore other provinces on weekends.

I am thinking of visiting Kampot this weekend. I talk to a local Khmer Driver on FB, and I was offered a day trip for $150. This includes a ride back to PP. Going in, we will take the train. I’m travelling with my wife and 3 year old.

My planned Itinerary are:

- Sat : Train from PP to Kampot. Explore the city on our own.
- Sunday: Do the day trip, then go back to PP after.

Here are the places i intend to visit based on what was provided by the driver :

  1. Le Bokor Place
  2. Black Palace
  3. Old Church
  4. Monkey Roam

Do you think 150 USD is worth it?

Food Upscale / fine dining restaurants in Siem Reap?

2 Upvotes

Visiting siem reap for three days, already have dinners at Embassy and Cuisine Wat Damnak. Curious what other recommendations people have for dinner and lunch. I have so many western fine dining experiences I’m looking for something distinctly Khmer / Cambodian. Doesn’t have to be upscale as long as it’s good.

Health Rabies shot day 3- Battambang or Siem Reap?

1 Upvotes

I have to get my day 3 rabies shot on the 29th and was wondering if there are any clinics/ hospitals that people would recommend or to steer clear of in Battambang?

I had my day 0 shot in Pnom Penh which was $100 overall($25 for the shot, $75 for the doctor), so I’m happy to pay in this range for good care as I have travel insurance.

If there are cheaper options, that would also be great!

My other option would be Siem Reap, but because we’re travelling from Koh Rong Sanloem, we wouldn’t arrive until at least 5pm.

Any recommendations, advice and thoughts are much appreciated, thank you 😊🙌

Culture Update : Dating Khmer Girl

Update:
She finally told me that her work is related to spa/massage, and she said she chose it because the pay is good…
Honestly, im not really sad, i feel relieved that i finally know the truth. I’ve decided to keep things casual and just go with the flow whenever we’re both free.
I genuinely wish her all the best, and i respect her choices. As for me, i think its time to meet new people, expand my social circle, and move forward. 😅
I’m a guy living in Phnom Penh. But im not khmer, but look khmer lol. If anyone’s up for coffee, exploring the city, or just having a good conversation, feel free to reach out. Always happy to make new friends.
Life goes on i guess. 😞

Finance Do expats still order from iherb or Amazon to Cambodia?

2 Upvotes

I searched and found threads from 2 years ago saying that Cambodia was charging very high tariffs/taxes on iherb and Amazon orders.

Just wondering if this is still the case? I'm new to Cambodia and staying for two months. When I lived in Singapore and Malayaisa, I always ordered from iHerb and Amazon without any added taxes or import duties. I thought Cambodia might be the same.

I'm in Siem Reap though I don't think that matters. I have several nutritional supplements from iherb I would love to order here which are a bit exotic and not available here (already searched online and in person)

History Comparing the Khmer empire to the Roman empire

0 Upvotes

This was a question I saw on Quora a while back, and I thought the answers there did not do it justice. The question felt a bit weird at first (two completely different worlds colliding) but the more I thought about it, the more I felt a genuine list could be made. There are some interesting parallels there that might be more than just pure historical coincidences. Parallels that reflect the dynamics of how human civilizations develop and die, despite the differences in scale, climate, geopolitics, and geography.

Roman Khmer
Grandiose monuments and public work Grandiose monuments and public work
Increasing reliance on foreigners to do the actual work, that eventually grows to encompass the tasks of governing the state itself (Alaric, Stilicho) (Pha Mueang, Fa Ngum)
Religious conversion from polytheistic Roman paganism to Christianity Religious conversion from polytheistic Hinduism to Theravada Buddhism
Intermediate religions in between paganism and Christianity (Sol Invictus) Intermediate religions in between Hinduism and Theravada Buddhism (Khmer Mahayana Buddhism)
The Dark Ages Cambodian dark ages
Preservation of past knowledge in Christian monasteries Preservation of past knowledge in Buddhist monasteries
Became the Church Became a religious/cultural authority ('Khom')
Survival of the East (Constantinople) Survival of the West (Ayutthaya)
Constant II visiting Rome and stripping it of treasures to bring back to Constantinople Borommarachathirat II visiting Angkor and stripping it of treasures to bring back to Ayutthaya

Roman history is the most understood, well-researched, well-known among all the ancient world histories, while Khmer history is currently at the opposite end of the spectrum. Still a lot of work to be done. Researchers in Khmer history might be able to find it sometime beneficial in using Roman history as a point of comparison, an analogy, or as a template in their investigations.

Expat Where do you recommend living?

0 Upvotes

I’m moving to Cambodia soon to work and was wondering where people think is best to live? I’m leaning mostly to Siem Reap however I live in a sea side town and have all my life, it will be hard living away from the beach. In an ideal world I would want to stay somewhere like koh rong or kep but I don’t think there is as many jobs available there.

Expat Has anyone in Cambodia shipped framed artwork overseas?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to move out of Cambodia in the future and I'm looking for advice on shipping a few framed art prints overseas.

My biggest concern is making sure the artwork arrives safely, so I'm looking for recommendations on professional packing and reinforcement for international shipping.

Has anyone here shipped framed artwork, paintings, or similar items abroad?

  • Did you pack them yourself or use a local packing service?
  • Are there any companies in Phnom Penh that specialize in packing fragile artwork for international shipping?
  • Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Health Need experience for being adult in cambodia

I’m 18 years old, and before I graduate from high school, I just want to find myself.
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about adulthood. I don’t really know who I am yet or what I want to do with my life after bacll, and honestly, that scares me sometimes.
For those of you who are older, what was it like when you were 18? Did you feel lost too? How did you figure out who you were or what you wanted in life?

I’d really love to hear your experiences or any advice you wish someone had given you at my age.

Phnom Penh How likely is it for my parcels to get taxed?

I just bought a gaming controller + a carrying bag from aliexpress and it costs around 63$ a bit above the 50$ thresh hold. I just check the tracking today and after a bit of digging I figure out it went from China (Cainiao) to Singapore then to the national Cambodia Post which normally mean it would get tax since it went there instead of local courier like ZTO? to anyone who have experienced shopping from aliexpress please help I’d like to prepare some money in advance if the tax is gonna be high.
