context: im a foreigner

from my understanding a lot young adult Cambodians live with their family for cultural reasons. But I also can't imagine a 20-something renting a 200-300 USD apartment on their own if the average wage here is 400-700 USD.

do newly weds even think about getting a borey or a condo? most of the advertised properties in the market come off bougie and out of touch to me, but i also don't know if payment terms for mortgages are manageable here.

i guess im generally asking if most people even think about buying a house as a possibility or if its only reserved for the upper-middle class Cambodians with parents who have money.

i know there was a housing bubble in 2019-2022 that showed how fucked real estate was here, but im wondering if locals find the whole market unaffordable from a renters' or buyers' perspective.

Guys, is there any trick to knowing someone’s identity just from their phone number? I’ve had my house used as a place for a scammer to scam people from online shops numerous times already, and it has seriously ruined my life.

They seem to know that I’m usually home at night and leave in the morning. There’s this girl who only targets baby shops. She orders multiple items from different online baby shops and tells the delivery people to leave the packages in front of my house, then she apparently QR-code scans them later. This has happened multiple times already.

I really want to know who this person is. I already used the Facebook account/login information I had to try to find her Facebook, but her account is locked and only has 39 friends.

I want to file a complaint with the police. Has anyone ever encountered something like this in Cambodia? Because this is honestly the first time I’ve been targeted by scammers like this, and it has seriously affected my life.

Is it standard for businesses to give you money they wouldn't normally accept, to get rid of it? For example, if I try to pay with a $10 bill with a hard crease or tiny rip in it, businesses won't accept it. It seems like almost every time I receive change for a $100 the business (mostly bars) give me a bill with a tiny rip or hard crease in it, which they wouldn't accept themselves. Sometimes I catch it and have them replace it, but other times it's too dark or I'm not really paying attention and notice later. It isn't a big deal because I can use the money in America. Just wondering if it's a standard practice for businesses to give you currency they wouldn't accept themselves?

How is Mondulkiri in November? Is it a good time to visit?

Hello everyone!

I’m planning to apply for an Ordinary (Business) Visa for 30 days. For proof of entry, I’m considering attaching a bus ticket from Vietnam to Phnom Penh.
However, if my plans change after the e-Visa is approved, would I still be able to fly directly from Ho Chi Minh City to Phnom Penh, despite having listed the bus as my intended mode of transport on the application?

Thank you!

So to clarify: if I show proof of bus tickets for my evisa, do I mandatorily have to travel by bus, or can I fly in if my plans change?

Question of how long to hear back from employers after cvs sent through?Also what schools in the outer provinces / further districts from Phnom Penh are currently hiring? Thanks !

Does Cambodia use QR payments like TH? Can TH payment options be used in Cambodia like TH bank apps or TH e-wallets? How about AliPay+? Or do you really need cash, USD and Riels? How about using tap to pay in USD with Revolut or Wise? Is the exact USD amount deducted or is there an extra fee added since it's a foreign transaction even tho its still in USD?

I just had a chat with ai about the border conflict and scam centers etc. I wont say what it said but if its a subject that interests you it has an interesting and verifiable opinion. Information i hadn't heard before. Not sure what else i can say. (Maybe breaking ai rule i see.if so please remove)
