Cost of Paid Female Companionship in Phnom Penh?
I understand that costs have risen markedly in recent years but what is the typical cost of freelancing local-female company these days? I prefer direct introductions over smoky bars and swilling beer. Any foreign ladies such as Vietnamese, Thai, Filipina plying their trade? Thanks for any informati...

Re: Best Cable Internet Service in Phnom Penh?
Wow! Some of the best speeds in SE Asia and certainly for a low-wage economy. Any websites restricted by the Cambodian government? If so, is there a free proxy server available for Macs to get through?
Many thanks to all.

Best Cable Internet Service in Phnom Penh?
1) For a new arrival, which ISP is recommended for a good speed in Phnom Penh? 2) What speed could I expect with the fastest Internet package? Average in international surveys is about 4 Mbps for Cambodia, compared to SE Asia's best: 7 Mbps in Thailand. 3) Roughly how much per month would this servi...

Re: Need Easy Proxy Server to Access Main US-Site, Not UK-Clone
OK, I found the USA-delivery option ... just wasn't very intuitive.
While I'm here ... does Cambodia block access to any websites?
For security, if I'm using online banking there, is a VPN advisable? Thanks.

Need Easy Proxy Server to Access Main US-Site, Not UK-Clone
This is for Mac, please. Want to order goods in USA for delivery to USA but their site always reverts to its UK branch by detecting my UK location. This removes the USA-delivery option. I presume a proxy server (or is it VPN?) is needed to 'anonymise' my location & let me access the main USA site di...

Cheapest Way to Draw US Pension in Cambodia?
My monthly cheques can be paid into any US bank but there are no US banks operating in Cambodia, only 'correspondents'. What arrangements do retired members here use to be able to draw their money from a Cambodian bank, especially when they need to remit 'hand-to-mouth' monthly? Is Canadia the only ...

Re: Why do Vietnamese come to Cambodia if they would make more in Vietnam?
Rather than starting a fresh thread, could we develop this into a discussion on Phnom Penh's Vietnamese community? I would be interested to learn something of their language, food and culture. In which districts would I find Vietnamese? Are they still at Tuol Kork? Are there areas with basic Vietnam...

Cheapest Way to Import Amazon Stuff From USA?
I see that VAT is 10% on top of import duty of 35% for electronic goods. Foodstuff rate? Dietary supplement rate? Are there shipping agents in USA, with correspondents in Cambodia, who arrange transportation, customs clearance and local delivery? What means do expat residents commonly use to obtain ...

Re: Why do Vietnamese come to Cambodia if they would make more in Vietnam?
Are the Cambodian Vietnamese mostly the unloved (at home) ethnic Chinese (aka boat people)?
