What is the best way to meet single women in Cambodia looking for marriage?

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
Why not start intro business.
Open office on riverside and introduce prospective wife to prospective husband.
You make lots of $$ and meet your life long contracted fartner too.

I dont know how many men would want a man who is not married himself to be trying to set them up with women. It would be like hiring a baker who has never baked anything in their life.

Well, I only seem to attract flack on this forum but in real life in Cambodia over many years I have never had any problems meeting and socialising with many very good Cambodian women, but then I actively engage and mix with Cambodians and I have none of the excellent "qualifications" you are presenting as possessing.
And as for language skills, I am not multi-lingual as you appear to be, and in fact I have now forgotten far more Khmer than I care to admit since 1992, when very few Cambodian women spoke reasonable English and learning Khmer was essential, because now even children in the back blocks of distant provinces frequently speak quite passible to very good English as it is a language taught in many provincial state schools.
If you wish to meet potential Cambodian partners, or even friends for that matter, then you need to attend events and activities frequented by them and socialize with them and engage them in conversation. No different in reality from your home country or the other countries you appear to have transited through.
So what is your social life?
And always remember the very true saying...That you can take the girl out of the village but never the village out of the girl. So in what social-demographic grouping do you believe you belong and how would such a potential Cambodian partner fit in to that scene on your return to your home country? Are you aspirational and upwardly mobile? Because for a happy relationship over time any future partner will need to be able to closely match your trajectory and fit in with the society and fellow workers/professionals you associate with and socialise with.
Just random thoughts.

Something you seem to enjoy and actively seek out, no?

How can they teach English in some but not all when they all do the same exams?

No. I seek no such reactions and for those that read my words in an intelligent and thoughtful manner and in context, there is no justification for such odium, and certainly not from those with English as their mother tongue and others with good English comprehension, and with an acceptable level of English language and English literature in their education. But there we are. Life is what it is.
But to address your question please refer to the Cambodian state High School curriculum.
A sumary of which may be seen here:
http://www.unesco.org/new/fileadmin/MUL ... uonly2.pdf
Needless to say, a language can only be taught in a state school if there is a teacher available and capable of teaching it posted to/available to the school.
I travel very widely in Cambodia in non-Covid 19 restricted years and meet with and assist in one way or another Cambodians from all walks of life. Sadly, this year 2021, looks like being the first year in 29 years in which I have not worked in Cambodia in one capacity or another. Nonetheless, I am hoping to return circa November/December if the Australian Government lifts it's ban on us travelling internationally outside of Australia, other than in the AUS/NZ and partial Pacific Islands travel bubble, once we have all received our two spaced free inoculations.

I don't think that is a particularly good summary.
Maybe ideally, but not in practice.
If you were as widely travelled and as experienced as you claim then you'd take this with more than a pinch of salt. Arts, physical education and foreign language
... I think not so common if present at all.
Any kids I know from the countryside who speak English (very few who can speak at a decent level) did not learn from the national school system. They gained it through either their own private (online) study or through a private school.
But off topic.

Theory and practice seldom align throughout Cambodia. Never has.
Although to give credit where it is due the present Minister for Education is giving the Cambodian education system and those in it a thorough and long over due shake up and going over and lifting standards as best able right through the system.
But advantage remains with schools in major urban centres as teachers are very resistant to being drafted/assigned/posted to the more distant areas.
So why is it that when working with health groups in different parts of Cambodia their parents and/or grand parents are accompanied in many cased by young children speaking basis or better English? It's a near constant in recent years and these are very poor Cambodians I am involved with.

Poor and very poor still have FB and other social media accounts 90% of which is in English. Their parents and grand-parents didn’t have that, plus they were a little busy surviving when speaking another language was verboten.
Those kids also have not so poor and middle class friends and they like to speak in English to each other.

I honestly don't believe it has much, if anything to do with national school system.
YTP nailed it. Even poor kids in the province watch YouTube and cartoons in English and pick it up from there, as there's no contents in Khmer. Some have had no formal instruction and are surprisingly fluent.
Thanks wankpuddle.
