I think most had a back up generator but really not 100% sure. I have not used the air conditioner at all I bought a fan and that has been ok for me so far. All apartments are so close to town that there is no worries about getting food, as street sellers and restaurants are always close by.
I’m not sure on back up generator situation. But I’ve been in my apartment for just over a month and I haven’t lost power once and we’ve had some massive thunderstorms. It’s really quiet apart from the odd dog barking.
For me, that was just a great initial expose' of house-hunting in Siam Reap. I really like your style... will Subscribe and look forward to watching your videos.
Brand new subscriber. No 2 apartment is the pick for me.I am living in Thailand. Thinking about a move to Siem Reap.I was pro bass player in NZ and Au ,my working life.Easier to play there.Not so in Thailand.Love a bath. Good luck with your new apartment.😂
Yes no. 2 was nice it was quite a large apartment. I really loved Thailand but the visas are more difficult to navigate. Also, the Cambodian people are just the most friendly and welcoming.
@@nanwithabackpack Visas were a PIA in Thailand. SR reminds me of what Chiang Mai (where I lived for a year) might have looked like 25 years ago (without the mountains). And no burning season.
@@TheBuddyShowWorldwide yes I absolutely love Chiang Mai and spent a couple of months there over the last year and a half. But the Thai visas are way too complicated and it’s a lot more laid-back here.
Gosh Sonia I am so thrilled you decided to set up house in Siam Reap!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I’m coming after high season and will be slow traveling similar to you. Decided two months ago to set up home in Siam Reap. You’re going to help me so much!😉👏🏻👏🏻
Good, informative vid. Thanks for that. How much do you think it would cost you per month to live in Siem Reap (incl. accommodation). Thanks in advance.
That depends all the 1 bed apartments I looked at were $200 per month. In most cases they charge between $5-$10 per month for water and electricity is $0.25 per kilowatt hour. Rent can range from around $150 per month upwards depending on your budget. Food and drink again it depends from person to person. Do you eat out? Do you cook at home? Do you drink alcohol? I am looking into doing a video about my monthly out going’s once I have been here a bit longer. Make sure you subscribe and hit the bell so you don’t miss it. Thanks for watching.🥰
Hugs dear friend......so glad you had a base in Cambodia.......will try and catch up with you this week.......stay safe and always know you are missed....
i will be retired next year so will be travelling around south east asia .... i like the look of siem reap - do they have a Greggs ??? i love the local food but sometimes i need a sausage roll ;-)
Hahaha no Greggs they do have a McDonald’s and KFC but those are the only two big chains that I have seen although never tried them. The local food is way too delicious. 🤗
Oooooo yes I had not even realized that. But I think it was more that I was thinking about one of the other places I had already been to. Both of the places I went as not feeling were in fantastic locations and there was nothing wrong with them. I just think 🤔 in my head I had already found my place. 😁 next week is room tour. 🇰🇭
Fascinating. To open a bank account what do you need? 1. A permanent address? 2. Your arrive on a 30 day visa ( can you do 30 day visa when u arrive and pay $30 fee? 3 . To extend residential visa to 1 year….. $195 4 . It takes a little while to arrive number of days? Sorry so many questions…. Just trying to understand. :-)
All will be in next video 😃the six month visa price was in this video the work visa is $180 and retirement visa is $160 (over 55 only) to open bank account you need a 6 month visa in passport

Hello, Dear. Were your Business and Retirement Visas for a six-month or one-year fee that you quoted? And who was your Agent? Enjoy your stay in Siem Reap
I have a 1 BR near Wat Damnak for $250/month. I also prefer small rooms with ceiling fans, keeps the electricity costs down. And HATE the TV in the bedroom. I'm a writer and like to enjoy Roku at night sitting on a sofa, with an adult bevvie within arm's reach. As you know, Khmer furniture is really heavy! Stubbed toes hurt! Cheers!
Personally I would always take one WITHOUT a direct lease contract for 6 months first! If you are looking on yourself, and contacting direct the landlord, you will find such appartments. Because its only staying in for a while that you realize the disadvantages. Could be a loud neighbor, or too much dogs around and, and, and...

I’m really interested to know why out of all the places you’ve been to you chose SR for a longer stay. Only because that’s one place that didn’t really do it for me, not sure why!
Siem Reap really took me by surprise. I had no expectations when I arrived. And in fact when I first arrived, my first opinion, wasn’t that great as I arrived and the Hostel I booked had closed down so ended up having nowhere to stay! But honestly, Siem Reap and the people who live here have captured my heart. I’ve heard the same from a few people. But when you step away from Pub Street and meet the locals it’s wonderful 😍
Yes Angkor Wat is beautiful. That’s ok everyone is different. It would get way too crowded if everyone moved here 😁🤪🤔🤗 so glad you enjoyed visiting the temples. 🥰
@@FEO510yes the Khmer people are such beautiful people kind friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed my visit to Angkor Wat and found it really interesting to listen to our guide.

Yes I was shocked to see the oven
I wish my place had a ceiling fan. Also I'm having trouble with my hob, hopfully it gets fixed soon?
Quick question if you dont mind? What, on average I guess, was the cost of those one bed apartments that please?
