Proximity to major airport: Sihanoukville International Airport, despite the name, offers only domestic flights. You’ll need to connect in Siem Reap or take a bus to Phnom Penh, the capital, for flights back to the U.S.
Access to health care: Limited. Most expats travel to Thailand for their medical needs.
Cost of living: Cambodia tied with Guatemala for the lowest cost of living on International Living’s Global Retirement Index. A couple could live quite comfortably on $700 a month. A furnished 2,000-square-foot house on the beach with free high-speed Internet and utilities costs about $150 a month. A three-course lunch costs about $5.
The draw: Beautiful beaches on the Gulf of Thailand that are nearly deserted. Cambodia has long been popular with expats from Australia and New Zealand, and it’s starting to attract adventurous Americans, too. Sihanoukville, the largest town on the coast, has a small expat community of Americans who went there during the Vietnam conflict for R&R and returned when they retired. Foreigners can’t own land in Cambodia, but they can acquire leasehold rights for up to 99 years.

I thought this was pretty cute:

I like how they just went with it because the cost of living is low. It rates worst on the list for pretty much everything else from healthcare to infrastructure to retirement benefits.

Is that big house on the beach still available? I'll take it.

In Sihanoukville a neglected flue/cold can be the end... But at least you'll die in the cheapest possible way (100 out of 100!).

You could be the first American to die of Malaria in 100 years, which would probably get you on the front page of the local papers back home.

Seriously though, can you imagine if some middle class yuppie couple from Milford got on a plane and headed to Sihanoukville on the basis of "studies" like this? They'd fill their adult diapers about the same time they arrived at Victory Hill in the back of a $5 bus out of Psar Thmei.

And you'd have to live with the Irish. Eww.zehner wrote:Haha...it's usually the Americans.
I thought it very amusing to see Ireland in that list too. The cost of living there now is just mental.
Of course Cambodia is all the way down on health care. When your expat health plan is to get the fuck to Bangkok, you know something is wrong.
