Why do you guys prefer cambodia over thailand?
I don't know why but I got an urge to go there but I know thailand is better..
I don't think you get away that much cheaper than you can in thailand either except when it comes to the beer right? So casinois the only reason I can think of, what other reasons to stay in cambodia over thailand?

Probably only casino's which is a terrible distraction and visas apart from that Thailand wins.

Visas
But also Cambodia is actually much cheaper for beer and hookers, which is a significant percentage of the budget for most people who live in Cambodia.

Price comparison between BKK and Phnom Penh

Draft Beer:

BKK: As low as 60 baht
PP: Normally around 15-30 baht

Hookers:

BKK: Expect to pay 1500-2000 baht short time
PP: 700-1000 baht

Cambodia is a decent option for micro stakes grinders and people just looking to degen as much as possible for the cheapest price.

Freedom of weed usage can be added to that list for those who find it important.

Many can argue Cambos are much nicer and have other positive qualities over Thais.

A lot of expats don't prefer Cambo. They are only there because you can work, and the other reasons people said, like visas. Many would move to Thailand in a flash, if they could find work there.

girls way cheaper in cambo

only thing i really liked more about thailand was the accommodation for your money, there really is just amazing value on apartments there

Did you not prefer the food, infrastructure, modern amenities, lack of sewage smell, dating opportunities, better accommodation, lack of kids begging on the street, running after you shouting " hungry" etc? Going from Cambo to Thailand is like stepping out of the third world, and into the first world. There is something I like about PP, but I don't see it through rose tinted glasses.

Maybe if u focus on the hookers that is what you will get, but if you can develop relationships with university girls they will give it up, but you need to be there longer than a week or so and not be total foreign d-bag. You also may not get it on the first date, but if u can wait a few weeks the riches are there. Also need to broaden your horizons on things u are doing there and get more involved in the different scenes besides hanging out at Poonton or in the calle.

Even the bar girls are a pain in the arse in cambo some only work for ld like wtf, they only tell you once you've bought a few ld's and want to bar fine them. The other end of the spectrum is there raging ice heads smoking pipes in your bathroom ffs.

Your story may be different if u lived there, developed real relationships, did business or worked there and stayed out of places with bar girls.

thai food is better than khmer food obv but i found western food way overpriced in thailand (pattaya)

i think "dating" opportunities are a lil better in thailand but i would still think any thai girl that is going with you is at the least a gold digger (not always true, but safe assumption)

guess there weren't as many beggars in thailand

infrastructure and modern amenities really mean nothing to me, and amenities i sort of count as the nicer rooms which i mentioned


i will also say another perk to thailand is that you have decent hospitals around if something bad happens

well that was what i was told by many people in snooky (wabby, the girl that knew where to get the hammer, others) and i think its still likely true, but im sure if you try hard enough you could find some, but who wants to wait weeks

as far as that goes thailand is better...... but if we are bringing that into the discussion then phil's is king of all

Anybody play at Naga or River King recently? Still only two tables full of old men at Naga playing 1/2? Any 2/5+ happening at Naga (if river King is still closed)?

They are weak. Show me the khmer dating sites where I can line up non hookers in every city I will be visiting, and "date" several women a week?

Or tell me where to meet non hookers? What sort of jobs are we talking?

I have no idea about dating sites in Cambo, never looked or tried.

Go to a university and u will find a zillion non-hookers. Find a reason to be there, be creative.

As for jobs my experience has been as an educator and working with non-profits, yes its true there are limited types of jobs in Cambo for expats, but you need to hustle if you want beyond hookers and iceheads. You need to put yourself in the path of the decent girls, they will appear in droves.

But maybe it doesnt matter if u expect to appear in a country for one week and have a bunch of good girls lined up. You will just fall into the same pattern of banging bar girls or whatever, u need to spend more time, at least a month.

That was a cop out, mate. Better to admit to people that there is no foreigner/ khmer hook up sites. You are giving out poor advice if you are telling people Cambo is a good place to date.

I wasn't talking about expats. I was wondering what jobs these (imaginary ) emancipated khmer women have? I have dated many different types in TL. Tell us your Cambo dates? Must be a lot as you were saying they were available in droves.

i moved to a new city a month ago


two nights ago i walked past a sexy girl sitting in front of a KFC by herself in the nicest area of the city in a nice business suit with semi short skirt, she was waiting for her shift, i made eye contact and walked past, came back 3 minutes later handed her a cute lil note with my number on it, we text for about 30 minutes the next day

she is now inviting herself over to my place in the middle of the night after already being prefaced with "i just want you to know im only looking for friends nothing serious ok"


unfortunately i have to turn her down because as im working in the other room my bed is taken by another friends with benefits...... so i tell her that we can try tomorrow...... but i already have plans for sunday with two different girls



good luck getting that going in cambo, i would guess 98% of the girls in that country fall in the hooker/wait for marriage range....... another 1.8% you may be able to get by leading on as their girlfriend, and then maybe .2% are quickly hittable...... if that

What is the white girl percentage in cambo? Looking to move this year as a last resort if poker doesn't go well and can't afford anywhere better. No racist but I couldn't see my self only banging Asians for a year.

How is that a cop out? I dont use Internet sites, Im sorry that people do things other than the way you do.

I think Cambo is a great place to date as I personally can land and within a few days have a girl who is working hard at school or work but since Ive lived abroad for so many I know how to "operate" in a foreign country.

Im not even average looking, only average intelligence and Im 42. If I can do it anyone else could.

I want to like you but you really think like a Spiv and Lol on things. You need to step it up or u are gonna be spinning your wheels for a long time.

Ive spent over a year in Cambo on and off when I lived in Taiwan and worked on projects within the locals and every university I went to I got the rock star treatment and dated quite a few girls who went to school. Sorry if I try a little to hard by actually putting time and sifting for gold, but Im not an sexpat who has no creativity.

great has to be hyperbole here, the language barrier alone is enough to make it not great, and the fact that the women there are very conservative (and far less horny/sexual than other girls) makes it nowhere near close to great

im sure if you put in the effort and are involved in the local scene you can get some, but dating girls for weeks before you get anything while they think it may lead them out of poverty isn't exactly "great"
