Good info. My budget is $400 and am currently in an apt in siem reap for $250. I run my AC 19hrs a day and it's $50. I put foil over my windows to keep it cooler and i like a dark bedroom. Noise and cig stink are my issues to watch for in a new place. Not much good to want to enjoy a cool, quiet morning on the balcony with cig smoke gushing up from below.
Mold is a huge issue to with the annual flooding. Some people are very sensitive to mold and they will get very sick quickly. Never rent ground floor. Smell for musty mildewy smell.
"Nick and Raychel" youtube channel lived and worked in Cambodia for a year. They said they really regret renting an apartment in BKK 1. They wish they would have rented in Russian Market instead. They said they were going to Russian Market all the time anyways and transportation costs really add up.
Now that I've lived in both areas, I'd agree that the Russian market area is better. Bkk1 is quieter, more spread out, better taken care of, but there's just more in TTP.
Hi Charlie from Boston USA here. I’m new to travel. I’ve been to Mexico and loved it. I will be in Cambodia in April.I will be be visiting Banteay Meanchey province with A friend n his family he is building a house there. The winters are long here in Boston And I will be slow traveling regular for the winters. You are one funny bastard. I get you. And I loved your wife putting on AC/DC. She got a great sense of humor. Thanks for all the excellent tips on looking for a place. One day I want to see phnom Pehn Cambodia. I will be watching more of your videos before I come in April. I appreciate you brother thanks for all you do. Peace
Cambodia just a developing country. So we can’t compare to another developed countries, but I think Cambodia is a good place for us to visit. If you’re traveling to Cambodia I recommend you to visit Bayon temple, Angkor Wat temple and another temple in Siem Reap province. There are many temples in Cambodia Filled with sculptures and designs on each temples wall. When I looked at the sculptures on each temples wall, I’m so wondering why they can do that? It’s so interesting. Well come to Cambodia
Fan life. The only time I use the AC in my Thailand apartment is midday on an especially hot day, which is a few times a month. At first I didn't like the fan at night thing, but I adapted and prefer it over AC now. My power bill is 9 bucks a month, others I know that run AC at night spend 60. Still not a huge amount, but getting rid of the AC is a big money saver in SEA. Surprised how much rent is in PP. Seems supply and demand should be driving those prices down farther than what they are.
Rent, compared to everything else, is pretty crazy here. The place we ended up in is $750 a month and people are saying we got a really good deal. Apparently, it would have been a thousand a few years ago. I have a feeling, as more buildings go up and less people come here, prices will continue to drop.
@@itchyfeetonthecheap Yeah that's baffling compared to the prices in Vietnam and Thailand. Especially considering the salaries are generally lower there, unless you land in one of the international schools in PP, which I'm assuming you two have done. I suppose there are a lot of big money real estate investors that can afford to hang onto properties long term without dropping rent too much. Looking forward to more videos, Cambodia is a great country.
Holy moly, rent in Thailand is waaaaaay cheaper and waaaaaaay nicer, not in some small rural place, a busy place like Pattaya, you get a gorgeous modern condo, 300m from the beach, with a beach view for 200-300usd, Cambodia is way more expensive for way less! In regards to you and your video, your awesome man, your humor rocks, video is great, love it ❤
Wow, that's so much cheaper. I'm planning a trip to Thailand next month, looking to rent an airbnb in Bangkok for a week or 2, so I'll get a taste of what they have to offer.
@@itchyfeetonthecheap most definitely, i havent stayed in Bangkok more than a day or so, but in regards to Pattaya/Jomtien area, you find way cheaper apartments compared to Cambodia (PP), but yea goodluck and keep up the awesome videos man, they are really cool to watch
Wow the power wiring is scary 😟 And the loo smells on the city . That’s what I notices first time in Cambodia. But got use to it after few days lol 😂 😂 i
Love the classic and sophisticated style of your vids. Not! We come for the weird humor and stay for the brothels. Good luck over there and hope the apartment is great. Thanks for the videos! 😀
Wow that was a great video! Reminds me of our apartment hunt in China. Especially the noise issue. Hard to find a quiet apartment in the middle of a building boom where there are basically no labor laws and construction continues 27/7/365.
hey there…i enjoy your videos and i am returning to the Kingdom in july/august with my 14 year old son. we are looking for a condo with an extensive gymnasium and other activities. i’m focusing on L’attrait and J2 buildings because of climbing walls at L’attrait / gym/ pools. J2 all that minus the climbing walls but has game rooms and great gym/ boxing. would you put together a comparison between them and maybe even other contenders?? thanks in advance!😊
Glad you found your apartment. BKK1 is usually more expensive with many western style restaurants than the Russian Market, aka Psa Toul Tumpoong for the locals. There is always an option in life. It's a rainy season there I believe. We can't wait to visit our relatives this winter. Cheers from Minnesota!
@@itchyfeetonthecheap The land of 10,000 lakes. Those lakes are not included with the potholes and ponds a long the ways. Just wanted to share this with others!
What happened to the long-sleeved, red and black flannel? Watching the Ecuador videos had me thinking you only had the one shirt, but now that you’ve relocated, your stylin’ and profiling’ a new wardrobe and rockin’ the new hairdo. Best of luck in Cambodia!
I retired it. I'm gonna get it framed and hung on the wall. My plan is to shoot a 'buying clothes in Cambodia' video that features me going on a hunt to find a new shirt to wear for my cambo videos.
The only time to look for housing in Cambodia is in Sep and Oct. so you can see the flooding in your area. In 8 years I have mostly followed my own advice except once and then I spent several days in Oct 2020 in Battambang, Watt Co area with several inches of water on the floor. The street was flooded for 5 weeks.
I don’t miss mosquitoes here in Ecuador’s mountains! Actually, we don’t have lots of critters….birds, squirrels, rabbits, snakes. I kinda miss the birds, and bunnies. The ONLY wildlife I’ve ever seen are Llamas! I bet you don’t have Llamas! I’m enjoying your vids, crazy man!
I dispute one point on ac. I'm out half the day. Usually the hottest time of day. Use of fans a must. The real problem is the rate. They jack up the government rate. Electric included is the best way to go if possible. I'm a spoiled American with the ac; I've always had it. Can't sleep in a hot room, but 72°F or so at night isn't bad. Unit isn't working as hard at night. 👍🇰🇭
The biggest rental mistake I ever made (also in Vietnam) was the same mistake you made. I will never rent a house again. I dispatched more than 80 cockroaches. One time I came back after a couple of weeks, turned on the air con and half a dozen roaches fell out of the machine. Chased a big spider out of the house (Huntsman, I think.) Another thing, there's no security if you go away, like in a condo. And yes, too much upkeep. I walked away from a 1-year rental and deposit after 5 months.
I don’t want to be “George of the Jungle” fighting critters and crazy, fast-growing vines of the jungle growing inside my first-floor apartment! Can I get a nice, 102nd floor condo in Phnom Penh???
8:00 'like to plant' ; what plants exactly are we talking about? (wink wink). Btw, stupid high prices, find a better agent or look yourself. 500-800 a month? you might as well buy a cheap apartment for 20-25k and renovate it for 1-2k, rent/Airbnb it when you not using it.
I had a huge apartment for $140 a month. It was funky in a French colonial building. I loved it, and it was only two blocks from the river. Our balcony was over a hundred feet long--it wrapped around three sides of the building. My standards and needs are pretty low, I guess.
You are a very funny man, imo. I signed up just to listen to your sense of humour. Having said that, the apartment hunting advice is excellent. I live in the tropics and I can vouch for the sense of most of your comments when it comes to heat and creatures.
I've been talking to people, trying to find out what floor you have to be on to get zero mosquitoes. I'm pretty sure 10 is high enough. Not sure about 9. 8 is very few.
worst fisheye clips ever microsecond flashes of the gym bed floor distorted disjointed..time editing made it much worse...info..rather disinformation.. appointments around the night market for example currently run for 1 bed $150/250..the river is not great traffic day boat engins night..electricity is 20 cents/kw aircon about $1 every 4 hours water inc/$5 pm...
Ok ...so you're settled in Cambodia. What's the name of the brothel? If you rent in the Russian market, and you're late in paying your rent, do the Russian break you leg? By the way, you definitely look better; it could be because in Quito you weren't getting enough oxigen into your brain . Take care bro !!!
This video could have been half the length & far more useful without the stupid little asides & attempts at humour. I nearly gave up about half a dozen times with the inane prattle rather than focusing on useful information
Omg I saw this now ( again) and just burst out in laughter from Sarah's acdc music blasting 😂😂😂😂

19 hours a day and only $50/month. That's so much cheaper than PP.
These videos have slowly gotten more and more off kelter and I'm so here for it

Great to see Cambodia bringing out your sense of humor. Love the special effects. Tho, the Sesame Street news traumatized my daughter.

You should do a comparison between your Quito and Phnom Penh apartments.
I like that idea.

Brian, many thanks for showing us around your PP.
Just so you know in Australia we call AC/DC AccaDacca.
I liked that montage @12:37. Definitely felt like a vlogger moment.
Damn! This was so informative! Considering moving to Phnom Penh soon. Hope to see great apartments that allow a corgi to live there with us. ✨
I'm sure you'll find something. Most places will allow small dogs.

I also lived in China. I can relate
I love your videos. I am Cambodian living in Sydney Australia.
Hello Ryan! I’m Cambodian welcome to Cambodia!
Thank you! It's a lovely country.
Obviously, you don't run the AC 24/7 bro. Turn it off when you leave and go to work. Also using the AC at say 25 plus fan helps save money
I know people that think running it all day and not turning it off when you leave is actually more efficient. It doesn't make any sense.
I like the humor. Very funny dude.
Need the same preferably BBK1/Russian Market. 1/2 BR 2 Bath, Great video. Learned a lot. Pretty nice.
Ay"yo! Having fun with cats!..? Thunderstruck! ----- Great work tho, creative and pretty funny :)

@@itchyfeetonthecheap Haha! Yes, that’ll do!
So howdo you stay safe from mosquitos when not up high in an apt??
Spray poison on your body. Burn poison.
