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 ✌️

@@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!

@AutumninAsia 3 месяца назад

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 !!

@ClubFred6 3 месяца назад

@@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.

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.

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.

@AutumninAsia 3 месяца назад

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 !!

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.

@AutumninAsia 2 месяца назад

Health insurance is a tricky subject because of so many variables. Although, I did talk about it a bit in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9H2Kq6lufU8.html I hope that helps and thank you for your comment.

@@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.

@mikefa5891 2 дня назад

How did you manage to choose to retire in Cambodia over Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia?

@AutumninAsia День назад

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 !!!
