I've spent probably a year total of my life in cambodia (phnom penh/kampot) so I feel qualified to give you a tl;dr.

Tl;dr - basically a worse Thailand in every way, with awful infrastructure/amenities, with no comparable savings for putting up with said awful amenities. The only draw is availability of drugs/prescription drugs, so the expat crowd is really fucked up. Phnom penh is one of the worst cities in SEA for pollution and traffic.

Thailand, Vietnam mogs it. Laos affordabilitymogs it. The only reason young people ever went to Cambodia in the first place was for weed, and thats no longer exclusive.

So yeah. Its stuck in the past but with shit prices. You cant even be a pedo there anymore since the government is paid by the UN and NGOs to crack down on it. So no 'anchor' industry of any type to keep expats coming back, except for pillheads, who just od and die after a year or 2.

>why were you there
I went for two weeks initially, found the hottest woman I have ever seen in my life, then dropped everything else to play house with her for a little while, before it eventually blew up in my face. It was worth it. She was/is so hot that even thinking about her gives me a hard on to this day. Its happening right now.

I cant knock it too hard, but that's essentially it. You will spend some time there and just wonder why you arent in Thailand instead.

Petty crime is also rampant. So many scams and so much bullshit. You've got to be a lot more careful than in other countries, khmers are just ruthless and desperate.

>>2872958
>>2872959
Cambodia literally has the hottest women in SEA.
Viet and Thai are too light skinned, might as well just go to Japan, and Filipinas are mostly goblins.
Khmer's are brown perfection.

>>2872917
A lot of people are terrified of going today because of the kidnappings and enslavement in spam centers. As an American, I'm probably safe from that, but why risk it when Vietnam is right next door and doesn't have that problem?

It's alright, Angkor is 100% worth seeing, a true marvel of engineering and all the surrounding ruins are worth seeing as well. That's about it, Phnomh Penh sucks and the food isn't quite as good as all the countries around it. Worth seeing but won't top your favourite country lists

Does Cambodia deserve to be visited? Its natural landscapes are mediocre and underwhelming, perhaps the worst of any Asian country. Most of the country is a plain of heavily degraded scrub forest crossed by dirt roads, though there are a few pretty spots - beaches and hills. You think poverty means your money goes farther, but this is not the case. Lack of investment/prosperity means fewer and shittier opportunities to spend your money, with quality dining & lodging offered for a premium due to its scarcity. Khmer men are smol and not much of a physical threat to a 6' white guy in decent shape, but they don't have any strong traditional culture governing their behavior like most Asian countries, so they do seem more feral and unpredictable, doing shit like driving off instead of handing you your change. Many of the young guys resent you for your whiteness and get an ego boost by screwing you over knowing you can't do shit. That being said, if you just want to pop pills and rot in your apartment all day for dirt-cheap, you can do it in Cambodia. I fail to see any real reason to visit the country.

My plan when I was waiting for my social security was to move to Cambodia cause it's the only place I could afford, but then I found out you can only leave the country for 30 days a year on social security so that never came to fruition. But damn I learned so much about Cambodia in that time, I really want to go to siem reap and just chill bros. Anybody else ever watch no joke howard?

I could go for some tramadol and Xanax right about now

>>2872958
Hahah with a claim like that I've got to see her now. Other than pills I guess lower tourism is the selling point then. Well it would be for me anyway

>>2872959
People always say this. What is so much better about Thailand though? I've never been but I can imagine the nature is similar, maybe transportation infrastructure would be better in Thailand. But other than that what is there? Cheap, crappy tourist entertainment, "luxury shopping centers" that I don't know why you'd want to go to, tourist traps, fancier crappy souvenir shops to buy your junk from that you'll friends will put in a draw and never look at again.
I can't think of anything meaningful that would be way better. maybe the food. But again I haven't been so feel free to enlighten me

>>2872958
They do have an anchor industry. Anchor Wat. Billions of people will always come for it

>>2873077
> I've never been but I can imagine the nature is similar, maybe transportation infrastructure would be better in Thailand.
You can tell the difference between the two countries as soon as you cross the border, particularly at Poi Pet. Everything in Thailand is cleaner, it’s more developed, and most importantly, the people don’t seem like feral fucking animals. Even in the smallest towns and villages in Thailand there is a sense of order and structure and people seem relatively happy. In Cambodia, the same type of areas are filled with trash, despair, and as I said before, fucked up people. If that appeals to you, then by all means, go for it.

Looks mad dusty

>>2873077
Thailand has been developing tremendously over the past few years, particularly in the rural provinces. Newly paved and widened roads, electricity that never goes out, fast Internet and cell service, hotels with three-star amenities for a one-star price, fitness parks, fine dining and tasty treats, daily trash collection, etc. And a portrait of the king in every prominent place; he has continued his father's program of improving the livelihood of outlying areas in order to maintain social stability and prevent the possibility of revolt.
>the nature is similar
The diversity of birdlife in Thailand is so much greater than in its poorer neighbors. Even crossing the Mekong from Laos, one of the first things I noticed was how many birds were calling and flying about. On the Lao side, the forests are so degraded (basically monocrop treefarms) that birds avoid them. Roosters are the only birds that thrive.
>>2873079
And that kind of touristcattle lure is where you're most likely to be ripped off or scammed at every turn. It's like the pyramids; you go once for the experience, but then you leave and never think of returning.

Isnt this the country that all the white dorkus go to to do things that are illegal in other countries? you know exactly what i mean...

>>2873103
Other than improvements to internet, electricity, bin collection, those are not pros for tourists like myself. Shame about the nature though. What happened there?

>>2873085
I wonder if the difference is genetics too. Can it really be all social standards

>>2873198
Less development means less effective farming, so you need to use more land and degrade the environment further.

>>2873198
It's mostly a burgeoning population of poor villagers needing to exploit their environment to the max. Chop down forests for cookfires, graze livestock in the resulting open areas, breed hordes of chickens to eat everything on the ground, churn up dust on every road, kill any sizable wild creature for food. Before you know it, there is nothing left across entire landscapes but humans, livestock, chickens, cats and dogs.

I know this is gonna make me sound like a butthurt peenoy, but please stop saying this. I know what you mean by goblins and don’t disagree that they exist, but a significant amount of the girls here are genuinely pretty.
Coming from Japan yesterday, it was a great juxtaposition of the ratio if attractive women, and honestly the average nip woman was way less attractive than I expected. In fact I’d argue the ratios of attractive nip and flip women are roughly the same. Sure some of them are a bit cute I guess? But that’s cute in the same sense a pug is cute, but not really an attractive dog.
Pic attached as reference of my recent stay in Nippon. Breddy good country.

Spending just a few hours on Boracay white beach today I saw plenty of attractive bikini girls. The only reason I didn’t end up talking to them is because I’m married…

The Siamese (Central Thailand), apart from the Chinese immigrants who came mostly in the 19th century, were always known to be genetically a mix of Khmer and Mon. Their civilization emerged out of Lopburi (Ayutthaya), firmly in the Khmer empire, and only gradually there were enough Thai speakers there to break away from it.

Fun fact, recent genetic studies show the Khmer on average to be anywhere from 9-15% Indian.

And in island SEA, Indian genetics go all the way out to the Philippines.

>>2873485
That's not a fun fact at all.
Anyway how do you know so much about ethnicity and genetics? I've searched and searched for books in the subject but they don't exist. You have to to have got your knowledge from somewhere though, excluding doing every study yourself

>>2873485
I love SEA culture and history, like whenever I talk to a local about they always give me a dumb stare like I'm an autist (understandably) or something because they have no idea what I'm talking about. They all think they have always been there and were the original niggas, but in reality, and as a racist white man, it hurts to say this, pretty much everything of their culture originated from influences from India. Still, throughout the years, they obviously made their own spin on it so that today it's completely different.
Mostly, it makes me wonder, actually, what happened to indian culture to make a country full of street shitters. They indians of way back must have been of a much higher caliber compared to today to have spread so much of their culture.

>>2872917
Cambodian gangs frequently kidnap foreigners to work in their scam call centers. For example, they are currently missing Japanese students in Cambodia who are feared of being enslaved by local gangs.

>Around 10 Japanese men in their 20s-30s from Fukuoka Prefecture are missing in Cambodia, suspected of being lured by high-paying, fraudulent "telemarketing" jobs on social media. These individuals, including students, went missing after traveling in 2024-2026, with some feared to be held captive in scam compounds

You got me. I was actually considering a position in an """international school""" in Cambodia. I wanted to go with Vietnam after I got my certs, but it seems like their salaries took a shit during COVID and never recovered. Even the decent centers are only paying $19 an hour. Meanwhile, I've gotten offers for up to $30 an hour in Cambodia, I guess because there are few qualified teachers there in a sea of high school dropouts and ESLs working illegally. Why is a country that is apparently a dump the only one in SEA offering above $2k/mo with insurance? Am I just not looking hard enough? Is Cambodia just that lame that they have to throw extra money to get white monkeys to bite?

This is the only country in SEA I’ve been advised to not go to. Life must really suck there if the scam center kidnappings are that common. Then it’s the government and their de facto dictator being complete cunts, seeing how they thought it wss a good idea to wage war against their technologically and economically superior neighbor.
Guess it’s the legacy of Pol Pot

>>2873281

>>2874148
>Guess it’s the legacy of Pol Pot
No, it goes back far, far further than that. Khmer have a massive chip on their shoulder concerning the Viets who work way harder and have more money, and especially the Thai, who, they feel, ripped off their culture. That historical enmity combined with their fucked up culture of envy and revenge makes for a dysfunctional culture.

I refuse to set foot there because of all the slavery rings. They literally grab people, take away their passports, beat them, and force them to work in those call-center scam outfits. Didn't scam enough grannies today? More beatings.

>>2874237
>that's not kidnaping
I think you missed the part where they show up because they think they're getting high-paying IT jobs, then they go into an office building, the manager says "give me your passport so I can make a photocopy", and as soon as he steps out of the room two or three big hulking Chinese thugs step in, beat the shit out of the "new hire", force him to work in a scam call center instead of an IT job, and routinely beat, starve, rape, and even kill these people if they don't produce enough money by scamming grannies back in Yokohama and Sendai and Kyoto.

So, in other words, it absolutely is kidnapping, you absolute mongoloid.

Happens to Japanese, Taiwanese, and lots of other nationalities. It would be unsurprising if Amerifat tourists got abducted to be enslaved in those places too.

>>2874237
Oh, and these slavery rings pay off the Cambodian cops so that they don't get raided and do get warned if there's anyone making noise about investigating them. If you escape you'd better not go to the cops because they'll handcuff you and take you back.

Good post. I spent a few months in Chiang Mai and a few in Siem Reap. I had fun in both, but literally everything is better in Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai is green and fertile with great infrastructure, food, sites, and muay thai. I had no problem getting prescription drugs OTC their either. Siem Reap is a dustbowl, infrastructure 3rd world (stray slightly outside the CBD or arterial highways and you're immediately on dirt roads), worse food, more expensive ... other than seeing Angkor Wat, there's nothing to keep you there more than a week. I stayed for that long because it was during Covid and options were limited.

Is it really this much of a crime to be kind of boring? Sure, surrounding countries seem more fun, but from the perspective of looking for a long-term base of operations rather than just a place to spend your 2 weeks, I don't really see any downsides other than that and being a little more expensive. The scam centers only seem to target jeets and other SEAsians and they're all in border towns and Sihanoukville which was already ruined by triads.

Looking at the cost of living indexes, makes this country "expensive", as in sure it’s still highly affordable for us Westerners, but still allegedly the least affordable nation in SEA? This despite the fact that it’s not an archipelago so logistics shouldn’t be so painful, and it’s also situated in some of the most fertile areas in the world, surrounded by industrial neighbors who they can easily trade with? Based on the supposed wages they earn there, shouldn’t their cost of living be more aligned with Laos and Vietnam?
Do you personally experience it being pricier than other SEA countries when you’re there?

>>2878605
>limited choices of hotels & restaurants acceptable to Westerners due to a culture of laziness and shortcut taking
>two-tier pricing naturally develops, with no downward pricing pressure on Western-tier businesses and no upward pricing pressure on local-tier businesses
From what I've heard, Cambodia makes most sense if you want to settle into an apartment and cook your own food - or at least hire somebody to cook for you. Don't go there for the dining scene, and don't go there expecting to live in hotels (unless you're capable of handling dirt and squalor).
>some of the most fertile areas in the world
Thailand has some of the world's most extensive canal irrigation systems which direct water from its mountain rivers to nourish its vast lowland plain. Cambodia does not. It is totally reliant on summer rains to grow anything. Outside of rainy season, most of Cambodia dries out.

>>2878606
Damn I thought the Mekong ran through the majority of Cambodia which was like a guaranteed irrigation system.

>>2878605
Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam all have industry. They export food and electronics globally. What does Cambodia export other than very low value items, like cheap clothing? Without major economic activity, it remains economically weak. And all those Chinese casinos keep their money within the Chinese community

>>2878605
you are probably just looking at bad data. numbeo shows cambodia at lower cost of living than laos, which itself is only slightly lower than thailand. vietnam is the lowest cost around there

https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=Cambodia

>>2878675
Cost of living in dollars is meaningless. The guy you're responding to wasn't referring to the cost of living as a fat retired westerner with a large pension. He's referring to cost of living from a local's perspective. The link you posted says it's over $2000 a month for a 4 person family excluding rent. That site says rent is $800 for a 3 bedroom place. Do you really think the average cambodian is making over $2800 a month after taxes? They're lucky to make that much in a year.

Crime including human trafficking (whether through trickery or coercion) happens everywhere in the world, anon. If you are not a vulnerable person, i.e. badly in need of money or love, it is highly unlikely that you will attract the attention of trafficker scum. Look at the shitshow that happened when the Shan state goons kidnapped that Chinese actor in Thailand and brought him across the border into Shan state. Entire scam centers got demolished and head honchos rounded up for prison for the mistake of nabbing one wrong person. They're not going to take the risk with you, the moneyed foreigner on vacation. For you, the bar scam with a pretty girl buying $30 glasses of water on your tab is the best option.

>>2878988
Median income figures vary much more widely than GDP per capita figures. Often they skew higher than the actual median income when half the population earns informally through businesses with high operating costs. So what is their actual income? It can be even tougher to judge when the restaurant is part of their home, they cook their own family dinner after closing with business stock. Thirdies can be extremely sloppy with bookkeeping. Some businesses it is entirely nonexistent. They just throw cash in a bucket and grab a handful of it when they need to buy something.

>>2879108
>all this rambling to just unintentionally acknowledge that median income mattera more

Median income/consumption is basically what they take home. This is why nations such as Botswana technically got a pretty decent GDP per capita on paper, but in reality due to the cost of living and the fact that alot of that wealth is in the hands of a few diamond miners, the majority of the population have a worse standard of living than a Cambodian. They simply don’t see that wealth transferred to them. That’s why GDP per capita is a dogshit metric.
Even the average rural chink in factuality has living standard that is worse than the median Vietnamese, while Urban chinks have less than a Thai. Pic related.
This means food and general services are more affordable to a Thai than a Chinese, having higher purchasing power.

No, Botswana at 0.73 has a much higher HDI than Cambodia at 0.60. HDI is calculated based on the social services and infrastructure available to the overall population.

>>2879213
>why nations such as Botswana
you picked the worst possible example
Botswana is actually doing pretty well as far as income, consumption and living standards go
even nominal GDP is actually a pretty good indicator there

HDI can be a meme because GDP per capita is a huge factor in calculating it

>>2879222
>I have no argument and must make ad hoc rebuttals
What part about median income do you not understand? Doesn’t fucking matter if household A consumes less than household B because in almost all scenarios it’s because household A has a lower income. This doesn’t exclude savings you moron, it’s what the the median person(and that includes children) can realistically consume per day on average. The actual dollar value is something like $6.1 for Thailand. Average Thai household has 3-4 people(round up to 4), 6.1*4*30(days) =$732 month
$732/2 adults = $372. Very standard monthly salary for a Thai.
Wow so fucking hard to understand you massive retard.
>No one cares about an outlier meme country like Botswana
I used Botswana as a primary case why GDP per capita is a dogshit metric, doesn’t matter if you don’t care due to low IQ.

>>2879244
No Botswana is a meme country when it comes to prosperity. It is an outlier in Africa but people keep harping on how it’s so wealthy due to Euro level of GDP per capita, despite getting mogged in numerous development metrics by SEA nations with far lower GDP per capita.

>>2879379

Yeah white tourists definitely need to worry about being kidnapped in Switzerland. Oh wait, no they don't. France, then? Hmm, no not really. USA? No, the sex slavery places mostly import their teenage sex slaves from Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, and the rest of LatAm, unless of course you mean the Asian Massage Parlors that fly in happy willing Korean and Chinese hookers from Seoul and Chongqing to ply their trade on lonely old men.

Where else, then? Gambia? Nigeria? Tanzania? Yeah, maybe, but it's not as widespread, organized, or complicit with the governments as Cambodia most definitely is.

>>2881017
Can you show us one news article detailing one such kidnapping of a white tourist in Cambodia?

>>2881105
Who's going to report on a kidnapping? The police deny it happens. Cambodian journalists don't give a shit. Outsiders just assume they got drunk and accidentally drowned in the ocean. A young woman might get reported on, but men who go missing are just assumed to be drunk degenerates who deserved it so nobody bothers to look for them.

Then you'll blow a bunch of money and end up regretting it until the next gibs check gets deposited.

Can confirm that Cambodians are hot. They are also insanely horny if they're into you and demand sex in the morning and before they sleep.

US State Department makes Cambodia sound like a Honduras-tier shithole when it comes to street crime, scams and other insecurity issues.

It's not what I would do though. I would be wandering all over the country on old non A/C buses seeing what it's like, same as I do in every Third World country. Expats don't dare, they are chickenshit. Thankfully six months in South Asia has left me always on guard against scams, ripoffs and theft. So I feel well prepared to delve into Cambodia.

>Avoid walking alone after dusk in Sihanoukville
Why? Isnt that one of the main three tourist spots?

Yeah, Preah Sihanouk is glutted with places to stay. Online booking rates are all jacked up, but there are a ton of properties with no online presence that undoubtedly can be stayed at for low rates. But evidently, Cambodia is not a safe country to go stumbling around drunk after dark. Always be watchful of motorbikes with multiple riders pulling up near you, like you were in Colombia.

The ATM situation is worrying. I'd rather withdraw and pay in riel only, but ATMs only provide $50 or $100 bills for foreign cards. Jesus Christ, I'm not handing a bill like that to some poorfag hotelkeeper or restaurant owner. Thankfully I have a fair number of $1, 5, 10 and 20 USD bills on hand in my emergency fund.

With Cambodia being strict about damaged currency, you always have to inspect the bills you receive, just like in India. Sneaky sellers will try to pass off their shitty bills on an unsuspecting foreigner. And you better be good with math to ensure that they aren't short-changing you.

I thought of entering the country at Poi Pet, which is infamous for being a scammy shithole, but Cham Yeam crossing on the coast looks so much prettier and more interesting. That southwest corner of Cambodia has some beautiful forest preserves and small coastal villages.

Cambodia is on their shit list so they like to exaggerate the issues there.
