Re: One-Way Ticket Okay?
As others have noted, while we *know* from experience that no one has asked we frequent travellers to Cambodia and expats for an onward ticket - technically it CAN be asked for, and if that happens it is most likely going to be by the airline or their representatives who check you in on the ground (...

I can only speak from experience about two... But before I do that, a matter of professionalism and language. When I arrived late in the working day at Biomed I was told in essence, 'it would be better if you come tomorrow morning for most of these tests'. I objected saying that I had come all this ...

Re: what is the best 3G sim card to get
I realize that your enquiry was about the best deal, but FYI, if you are interested... Anonymous cell phone SIM cards are no longer available. Not for several years past. You CAN get instant anonymous SIM cards in Malaysia and Thailand, but apparently we citizens and visitors to Cambodia are rife wi...

Re: bullion accounts at Sacom?
Readers might have the misapprehension that I am a high roller. In fact, I do not belong to the millionaires club of PNH - those guys with half a mill whose job is day trading or who have passive income from real estate investing or some such. I am happy for you of you are. I am just a working stiff...

basic hand sewing - who does it?
tailors don't
street side sewing machine operators don't
I tried those old ladies who do all the labour intensive bead work and they weren't interested in the plebian task of redoing the hand sewn seam on a Max Cady's shirt.

Re: bullion accounts at Sacom?
Seem to not be set up for doing business with non-locals. The first person I talked to was not familiar with bullion account. She gave me a number of the man in charge. He didn't understand English enough. Within ten minutes I got a call back from someone with a strong accent (but much better than m...

bullion accounts at Sacom?
Anyone tried the new gold accounts at Sacom? I don't mean the trading account, but rather the bullion one. Maybe it is a useful alternative to Bullion Vault in UK.

poll - if you bank offshore where and why?
By 'offshore' I mean a real international centre that is different from your citizenship or residency (although I welcome plain old 'foreign' account info - once I was setting up a credit union-like account in Denmark). Obvious regional choices that come to mind are... Singapore Labuan (Malaysia) Ho...

repatriating funds
Are there any restrictions on repatriating funds from Cambodia? In other words, if I deposit $50,000 in a savings account or term deposit are there any Cambodian legal or bank policy restrictions on my taking that out of Cambodia, either by wire or bank draft or cash? I know someone who was told tha...

Re: How much? Cambo birth cert for my kid.
Does anyone have *experience* getting documents notarized here? What was the price? I just looked up the website of that 'one and only' notary and the link was no good.I will try the Cambodian yellow Pages. I am surprised to hear that there is only one notary public in PNH. Perhaps there is a local ...

trash can items becomes public property?
I suppose this happening in the west is also likely, but still I was shocked... The receptionist/manager at my guesthouse had at her desk today an important document which was a work in progress record I had thrown away in my room garbage can 15 months ago! She is a student and I suppose she wanted ...
