I understand Viet Nam is a wealthier nation and people would likely make higher salaries there.
I understand that where you are from is also a richer country. Why have you come ? Your own answer to my question may also be the answer to your question.
Freedom from the evil shackles of communism?

Good question. Hanno got it right IMO, but also they maybe able to find work because their education is a bit better. Also commodity prices are higher here, so more cash coming into a business. Cambodian shops etc have a higher profit margin.
Not so sure without knowing country of origin of OP, however I can’t say the expats I know came for same reason that Vietnamese expats have come.KPTIC wrote:I understand that where you are from is also a richer country.

Not that I’ve surveyed the Viets, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the reasons many of them came varied significantly from why people from western countries come.

Reasons vary considerably, but when I arrived here twenty odd years ago the reason the Vietnamese I knew then came was probably similar to why I came. They had skills such as mechanics, builders, carpenters etc.that were in demand. I came to help roll out the health coverage plan with the MOH. I was asked to come because I had the expertise and it was a career advancement, and a challenge for me . I think for the Vietnamese people I knew it was a possible career advancement and a challenge to improve their situation also.GMJS-440 wrote:Not so sure without knowing country of origin of OP, however I can’t say the expats I know came for same reason that Vietnamese expats have come.KPTIC wrote: Not so sure without knowing country of origin of OP, however I can’t say the expats I know came for same reason that Vietnamese expats have come.

That's you... Not many on this board(at least a year or so ago, I don't know about now...what with Miggles screwing up the stats and all) would say that was why they came.Mèo Đen wrote:Reasons vary considerably, but when I arrived here twenty odd years ago the reason the Vietnamese I knew then came was probably similar to why I came.

Not everyone in Cambodia is a sex/meth/booze-pat. I came because I was offered good money to run one of the most beautiful hotels in Temple Town.
