Dave , I’ve been watching your channel, almost from the beginning , So I want to say, what annoys me about your channel , is that you rarely answer questions, by your subscribers Peter Australia
I spend a lot of time each week answering questions through email, messenger, WhatsApp, etc. I also have over 700 videos on my channel that has almost any answer to questions about living in Cambodia. I also have a book for that as well. I don't have time to answer in detail every single question that has been asked thousands of times before.
Hey Peter- fellow Aussie here. I think your ‘rarely’ is a bit unfair. I know what you mean bc I have seen it across YT in my areas of interest- and it annoys me too. I think Dave does a good job of replying. Its subjective of course.
There are expats from all over the world. The Khmer government can’t confirm… if expats commit crimes in Cambodia, they have to deal with Khmer Hilton ( at least for now).
your a horror writer... video experience...Surely a Cambodian Film House producing your books to Khmer film must be on the cards? cheap place to do it.
The airline requiring proof of return flight is so weird to me, even for Tourists. many tourists depart Cambodia via a land border to Thailand, Vietnam or Laos.
Several people have asked me about this and if you say I'm going there to live so I don't have a return ticket, it will be fine. Maybe have a bank statement on your phone showing you have funds. But we were asked the same questions and told them that and had no problems, same with the visa.
Great video again Dave...much appreciated. One question: Because of the income requirement for marriage, do many expats just have girlfriends or common law? Not that 2500 is a huge deal. Thanks
It seems to be a personal choice more than a financial one. There are a lot of married expats and a lot of boyfriend/girlfriend/living together type relationships.
Very helpful video. Thank you. I had to smile at one commentator who admonished you to try to stop shaking while recording. They obviously are unaware of the medical facts about over-50 causes of tremor. One significant cause of ‘shaking’ in the over-50 crowd is Parkinson’s disease over which the patient has little voluntary control over their motor movements. Telling folks with that condition to ‘try’ to stop shaking is not going to work. Another, nearly as common, perhaps more common, cause is benign familial tremor syndrome-they also have no voluntary control of those ‘shakes.’ There are very expensive targeted deep brain ultrasound therapies, which are now available and work fairly well, but are not available in many countries yet. Next time video advice asked sought, perhaps you could suggest some kind of ‘gimbal’ for their camera? Cheers.
Truth. From worldwide. Just what Cambodia needs. More people who would not be accepted anywhere else. The lowest bar of anywhere to retire. Thanks for advertising it.
If you need a doctor you’re screwed . I choose between pharmacist advice or the conflicting advice on you tube to treat whatever ailments. No matter what you’re going to die , just hope you don’t suffer .. but then you can always jump off a high rise . Jumping off of low balconies don’t work well and when you survive that the lanlord will think you’re a ghost ..
I had a question about getting a Skype phone number. 1) I paid for a Skype phone number, but it only lets me receive phone calls from the u.s.a., but doesn't let me call out. 2) I paid more money to get a subscription to call the u.s.a. and that works, and I can get 2 factor authentication by VOICE calls only. text messages do not work. Do I need to pay more money again for the text message upgrade???
Hey Dave, regarding international license. Yes true not required BUT if you’re insurance may not cover you without it and most will not cover you on a motorcycle without a motorcycle license from your own country. This is a big issue as most insurance is claimed from road accidents and Local Asians are happy to hire you a bike without standard requirements in your own country and under insurance regulations
Apparently, I was mistaken about that. It seems that Cambodia does now recognise an international driver's license. It's not on the government website yet but it's now accepted. For Riel let me know!
@@DaveDoesCambodia an Australian in Bali recently had a go fund me for his motorcycle accident. He wasn’t covered by insurance because he didn’t have a license to ride in Australia. He need to raise I this around 300k in medical. Hey Dave I’ve been meaning to get back to Siem Reap and live, at the moment I’ve just relocated to Perth Australian for the mining boom but hope in no more than 10 months I will be looking for an apartment in Cambodia. Just getting the bank off me. Hope to catch up. Peace Mike
Im American, I lived in Vietnam for 7 years when I was a young man 20-27 , I saw 1 American get into a traffic accident ( nobody helped him, I had to help them and my Viet wife had to call the hospital ) everyone just watched confused, while the guy was bleeding out having a grand mal seizure on the floor
I can one respond , from a personal point of view , I have asked basic questions , No Reply , I understand U , Tubers with very large subscriber lists , can’t answer every one , But Dave is not in that category, Peter
Kind of. It's a negotiation as they're trying to get a higher price and, of course, you want lower. Shopping at stores that have price tags eliminates the need for negotiating or paying too much.
If you speak Khmer, it helps with negotiation. Just go To stores with regular price tags. Personally, I don't mind paying few cents more. My county has higher taxes than the neiboring counties. I prefer my county for many amenities.
