Hey, Great. Thanks for the stamps and also for watching the videos !!!
@@KhmerMinnesnowta oh, it was AI, haha.
@@AutumninAsia I didn't even watch just let AI do it, haha. But cheers bongsir
Thanks for your effort! Did he do totals? I didn’t see 😮them.
Great job Autumn in Asia!
Thank you very much and thank you for watching the videos !!
If I'm broke, I'll be heading to stay with the monks for free room and board. All I need to do is to spend some my free time teaching them English.
Also, if we could travel, eat, and sleep like locals, we can stretch our mighty $$$ much further.
Most the locals still live with a few bucks a day.
There are always options as life is short to do the things we don't love doing.
Sharing is caring.
Peace ✌️
That sounds like a good plan. I hope you make it here soon. Thank you for watching the videos !!
What happens with "our mighty $$$" when the wind dies down and the sock goes limp?
If you become a monk, you’ll have free housing and free food for life. Good luck ❤🙏
@@sokpeaoky8852 There are some people who came from the farms to stay there with the monks. I grew up in Phnom Penh way back in the 60s and I knew a lot of them came from the farms and stayed at the temples while they went to schools because they couldn't afford for the rents or they didn't know anyone!
Very good video with lots of good information. Hope you are feeling better.
Thank you very much. I woke up this morning and am feeling much better.
Thank you for the comment and for watching my videos !!!!
G'day mate , was surprised your expenses were very similar to mine except when my kids show up lol , yes I let the misses do the shopping for fruit n veggies n meat , but don't really spend a great deal on drinks except when we go out , I think $40 twice a month is OK for me , good to see I'm in the ball park lol cost wise , Catchya ...😊
I'm glad to hear that both of us are right on track.
Thank you for commenting and also for watching the videos !!
Congratulation on another 200k+ video…
Thank you so much 😀
Thank You for the Great Information Kelly 🙂❤👍
You are so welcome!
Thanks!
Wow.. Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked the video. Have a great day !!
Id like home stay video
I was interested in update home stay video
The prices are very reasonable. indeed. Cheaper than those in Philly, almost as good as Indonesian prices. Very good to know. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Nice… 👍
Thanks ✌️
Most Cambodians live in love,respect and gratitude which is helping humanity break free from the matrix!!!❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Correct I agree. Thank you for your comment and for watching !!!
It all adds up
Yes, 1+1=2, even here in Cambodia.
Thanks for watching !!
Great video ,,, could you do one on how to transfer money from us bank to cambodia,, how to get a aba bank account etc . Many thx
One of my bank accounts (Charles Schwab) reimburses my ATM fees.
I get money from that account and then deposit it into my ABA account.
Thank you for your comment and for watching !!!!
There is one bank in Cambodia that pays 7+% in interest monthly. Someone here in Cambodia recommended that bank to me. She said a Cambodian American individual deposited $500,000 + and earned around $5000 monthly. I am going to find out more about that bank.
Great information ackon and I would just add a good Khmer GF / wife can actually bring the costs down (or at least not increase the cost of a single guy by much) as she’s going to always get the best deal at the food market , she will know all the tricks and tips to get the best price for most things including rent and household appliances etc …
Yes, that is so true. Thanks for the comment and have a great day !!!
Great family of 3 cost of living..
Thank you very much. And thanks for watching my videos !!
Thanks great hear about living costs. As I’m here in Australia, I’m 63 having a hard time trying to get a job. Cos no one wants to give older people work. I call it age discrimination . Pension age here for me is 67 & a half . As I’m on my own now thinking of selling every thing I own which is a pain, or having to give stuff away. It’s a big deal starting life in a new country at my age too. But will see how thing go in this coming year.
My advice is to do your own research and due diligence.
Thank you for watching !!!!
Am almost at the same stage. Love Siem Reap and will be back there soon for another look...
Milk price same as full fat organic milk in Hawaii, if there a local farm it be bush less but a bit more work to pastures it
Yeah, pretty spendy here for milk and other dairy products.
Thank you for watching the video !!!
New subbie 🇿🇦I’m in process of living in Cambodia as esl teacher , scary decision
Yes, it can be scary but exciting. It is a great Kingdom to live in.
Thank you for your comment and for watching my videos !!
how easy to get esl job with no experience
I'm not really sure. Probably need your FEFL certificate.
Thank you for watching the videos 😁
🎉
Thank you very much !!
Thx for your video - what do you think a good budget range (total) is for a single male who doesn’t drink or smoke or .. much of anything really - pretty boring here lol.
Depends on what you are comfortable with. A $150mo apartment or a $600mo one?
That goes for your other needs, wants, and desires.
But I easily can live for under $1000.
The 2 biggest costs can be your apartment and what kind of food you want/need.
Thanks for watching !!
@@AutumninAsiayeah thanks. I did a pretty accurate budget today and came to about 1000 and your video helped me. One problem - big potential expense is health insurance. But I even have a line item in there for it @$150 - and also guessed the visa about $25mo.
Amazed you can survive the heat without ac - does your landlord charge .25 per kWh? That’s how they make money and lots of them also skim electricity from you and it goes elsewhere.
Hello Kelly…. I hope you and the family are well. Thankyou for the video. What was the name of the hospital that you like? And where is it?
Dave…of Dave in Cambodia lives in a $50 a month apartment with his girlfriend . Living a very simple life.
My apartment in Siem Reap in 2017 was $100 a month. Nice and clean, furnished, with a large bathroom .
Thank you and take care. 🙂 👏🏼 👍🏼 🇰🇭 🌴 🌴 🌴 ☸️
The name is Neak Tep on 7 Makara. Thank you for your comment !!
Sounds pretty good. Lifestyle seems pretty good there
Yes, I love it here. Thanks for watching and it looks like you channel is booming !!
@@AutumninAsia Yes just going with the flow and enjoying life. Been out in Ubon Ratchathani working on some farm projects. Looks like your life is going well
Great video! Would you say PP is significantly more? I'm single, not a drinker, and have a budget of USD 2200
I can't speak for PP but I do know some things are more costly there.
Your costs will vary to fund your way of living. Your wants, needs, and desires.
$2200.00 should be plenty unless you like the best of the best.
Thank you for watching my videos !!
You will live like king in Cambodia with that monthly budget. Good luck.
@@sokpeaoky8852 Thanks so much!!
My desire is for a small frugal studio (maybe 250 sf = 23 - 25 sq. m) easy to clean & cheap to cool w/ac most of the time ? --- My thinking being most people don't want that ''small'' so perhaps they will be more plentiful ? For me - less is more & I'm a happy camper. --- Frugal doesn't mean I want to give up 'comfort' ! I want to give up the expense !!! --?-- Are they available for the $100 -- $120 price range - '''nobody ever mentions''' ? - - - Any advise ? > Dave (in Cambodia) - is supposed to look (?) - as several of us are interested - he will try to film some for us. > $50 -- $120 RANGE.
My advice to you is to go on IPS website and look at what they have to offer.They don't have many in your price range but you can get a nice studio apartment for about $150ish.
I hope that helps.
Thanks for watching my videos !!
@@AutumninAsia I like your videos -- Dave said many don't advertise in that price range - you have to walk around and look and ask the locals. Signs on the property and word of mouth apparently ? -- That's likely why we don't see many ? + Most people don't want tiny. > Keep em coming !!!
Hey Kelly, hope you are feeling better!! Can you please advise: as a US citizen coming from US who wants to live in SR for at least one year -- arriving at the airport, getting the 30 day visa, I need to show a departure ticket out of Cambodia at customs. Is it best to book a ticket to Thailand, e.g., before departing the US, or how do most expats manage that proof of departure from Cambodia upon first arriving at customs.
Thank you!! All best to your sweet family.
Myself and no one I know comes to Cambodia and has a return ticket.
Be sure to get an "O" visa upon arrival, not a Tourist visa. Just tell immigration that you plan on staying for 12 months. After about 2 weeks, go to a travel agent and they can help you with your 12-month visa. they will send your passport to PP and in about 10 days you will get it back, which Cost @$290.
Thank you for your well wishes and yes, I am feeling better !!
@@AutumninAsia , thank you for this pro tip, Kelly, I had complete misinformation!! You have provided so much relief in my mind, and I very much appreciate you sharing a simple and clear path to stay local. You are a gemstone, thank you for your time and wisdom!! 😃
Great job, but what about Internet and health insurance?
Thank you for liking the video.
My internet is free and comes with the apartment.
My cell card for my phone is about $6 a month.
Thank you for your comment !!
Did you total? What is the difference? Thanks
Sorry, I forgot that. I have been sick and my brain power was low.
Single=$950, Family=$850.
Thank you for watching !!
thanks
You're welcome! Have a great day !!!
Summary: affordable! Cheers bong.
Glad to see you here!
Thank you very much !!
@@KhmerMinnesnowta somehow TH-cam didn't show me your comment haha
@@Charlie-phlezk Yes. Cambodia is very safe and affordable and you're treated best for your bucks. My wife and I can live with less than $2,000 a month there comfortably. Have a good day, PT✌️
Wow beef at 8 dollars per pound!! I'll be on a beef free diet once I'm there!!
I think I meant to say $8 a Kilo.
Thank you for watching !
food is similar priced to prices in a supermarket in the US,
maybe 10% less in Cambodia
Stuff you get at the Western supermarket is usually more costly here. Shipping and all that.
Thanks for watching !!!
@@AutumninAsia yes, obviously imported goods are more expensive, but comparing meats and some produce, its very similar in price.
Compare total please... How much more for the family of 3 vs. Single
Sorry, I forgot that. I have been sick and my brain power was low.
Single=$950, Family=$850.
Thank you for watching !!
@@AutumninAsiayikes, cheaper for family than single… is it because of lower the housing cost and??? Amazing Khmer woman that knows great deals???What else??? We have a family of four … likely lots more…
@@mimibigdy1917 I think the factors involved are:
1) I don't spend as much on rent.
2) The saving by having a Khmer woman do most of the shopping.
3)I don't order delivery food as much, and
4) I stay home much more.
Whats the name of the area your apartment is? Looks peaceful there
I live in the Sala Kamreuk area of town which is in the south part of town.
Thank you for watching my videos !!
could you recommend contacts or websites for long term rental please
I would go on ips-cambodia.com.
I have used them 3 times already. They are really nice and professional.
I hope that helps.
Have a great day.
I was waiting for this you didn't good job no Wi-Fi end cell phone plus your total when you was single anyway have a good day thank you🎉🎉🎉
Sorry about that, I have been under the weather lately.
My Wi-Fi is free, included in the rent which is quite normal.
I use Smart for my Cell Card and that costs me $6mo.
Totals... Single $950 Family $850
Thank you for the comment and also for watching the videos !!!
How did you manage to choose to retire in Cambodia over Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia?
Quite simply the Immigration laws and policies. Cambodia is the easiest without having to have so much money in their bank, or a certain amount of income, no 3-month reporting< etc...
Just enter in the country under an "O" visa and within about 2 weeks go to a travel agency and apply for a 12 month visa. They will do the paperwork (takes about 10 min.) and they will send your Passport to Phnom Penh and within 10 days you are ggo to go.
A 12-month visa costs $280 + $10 for the agency fee. Very easy
Thanks for watching the video !!!
Are there competent natural healers available?
No sure, but many Khmer people know a lot about the medicinal properties of the plants here.
Have a great day !!!!!
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but I was not pleased to hear about the separate prices charged to foreigners vs. natives.
In addition, did I miss anything about health insurance? How is it obtained and what is the average cost? I have heard that if you are over 65, reasonably priced coverage is difficult to impossible to obtain.
Health insurance is a tricky subject because of so many variables. Although, I did talk about it a bit in this video:
th-cam.com/video/9H2Kq6lufU8/w-d-xo.html
I hope that helps and thank you for your comment.
@@AutumninAsia Thank you very much.
@@AutumninAsia Thank you for your reply. In all honesty, unless I could get reasonably priced international insurance at the age of 65 or 66 that was accepted there (note the number of "ifs" baked into that sentence), it sounds as if Cambodia would be too much a roll of the dice for me.
My mom has copd. Wondering how much spiriva would be there? Maybe I can figure out how to get ahold of a pharmacy before getting there. She would just want to visit for a few months at a time. So maybe buy meds once or twice while there.
My advice is to go on Google Maps and look for Pharmacies. Many of them have websites and respond in English.
I hope that helps and thanks for watching !!
What ID and deposit do you need to open a Cambodian Bank account
ATM Card if you are visiting but hope to move
I’d rather have this all set up before I get there
Thank You
You will need a visa that is valid for at least 6 months (or 12).
I do believe if I remember correctly is that you will need to deposit at least $10.
I hope that helps 😃
Can't go back to S.E, Asia until after my thumb arthritis surgery.....
I hope it gets better and soon come to SE Asia. Have a great day !!!
what is internet wifi like in siem reap like please ?x
I just checked and I have 31 down and 77 up.
Mostly all day long it's good. I will have some temp outages but only for a few minutes or so.
Were you a DJ?
Yes, I was. Not for long though. Thanks for watching !!!
Greetings!
I would like to know from you the following please:
Is it true that in order for a foreigner to marry a local Cambodian woman one has to have an income of a total of $1500.00 US per month?
Thank you.
Yes there is a minimum income requirement but I don't know how much that is.
Thanks for watching the video !!!!
What about entertainment?
Transportation?
How much does the wify put in the monthly budget?
I really don't get men that pay for everything.
I'm a homebody and don't go out much other than to travel and make videos.
As for Transportation, I own my own Motobike (@$1500.00). But if you are not comfortable with a moto, Transpo is cheap. You can get just about anywhere in town for about $3.00. Passapp is like Uber and very affordable.
My girlfriend takes care of me and the household. For me that is enough.
Thanks for watching the videos !!
You didn't give us a total.
Under $900mo.
Not bad !!!
