Moving to Cambodia

[dallasmisfit]

Hello everyone,

New here so please bear with me.

I am thinking of moving to Cambodia, and would like any info on relocation guidelines, relocaters and all.
Sianoukeville, Spelling?, is my destination.

I have a housefull of furniture and 2 dogs, and 125cc motorbike.

Plus I have no idea about paperwork and so on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Gene

I think this forum is more for tourists, but a better place for you to go would be

I would contact the owner of the gay restaurant there and ask for help.

They go on leave for all June for staff holiday. Best to contact him straight away.

Ideally it could be the start point for you, to base yourself and commence looking around, if he accepts your dogs

BTW what are your dogs.

Hi Lonelywombat,

Thanks for the reply. I will contact them today and as you said start from there.
I have 2 Chihuahuas, Rita and Chico. More like rugrats though.

Well, as I said, please bear with me.
I thought this post would appear in the Gay Thailand section. How do I move it there in order to get a response from Pattayans who have done this, or at least explored it?
AAHHHHH, the pleasures of childbirth and raising him right.

Thanks guys, Gene

Just to get a very quick knowledge of the daily life in Cambodia I can recommend the book: "CAMBODIAS CURSE a moderne history of a troubled land" by Joel Brinkley. It is published in 2011 and gives the stories of a people living in a country divided between a thousand year old way of life and an attempt to catch up with the new millenium with corruption and violence.

Not sure if this will be of any use to you, but my brother moved to Snooky about 3 years ago. He uses an annual business visa which I think costs a couple of hundred dollars. He doesn't have to do visa run which he would do if living in Thailand.

Have you been there before? Certainly before making any decisions I would say spend at least a couple of months to see if it's a good fit for you.

I would spend at least 2 weeks in Siem Reap, the Phnom Penh & finally Snooky before making any decisions (min 6 weeks).

My biggest concern about moving to Cambodia was the lack of quality medical care and health services. I regard Thailand's healthcare system (cities) as very good - excellent.

Agree with adman500, I hear Cambodia is not somewhere you want to have a serious illness or accident and end up in hospital. A simple search on a site like InterNations or another ex-pat site will highlight that pretty quickly. I understand anything more serious than an ingrowing toenail results in a medi-vac to Singapore or Bangkok.

I don't know how good it is, but the Royal Angkor International Hospital in Siem Reap says it is affiliated with the Bangkok Hospital Medical Center. The Royal Rattanak Hospital in Phnom Penh is also part of the Bangkok Hospital group, according to its website. If I were considering relocating to Cambodia, I'd investigate both of these hospitals to check on their facilities, services, and staff qualifications.
