Are you planning on retiring to a new life in Cambodia
Do you wish for the #expat lifestyle in a country that welcomes expats?

In this video, we give you 11 tips for making the most out of expat life in Cambodia.

1. Learn The Khmer Language.
While this isn’t essential, because English is spoken across Cambodia.
Not only is it respectful to learn the language of your host country, it will enable you to get cheaper deals when you shop, it will make it fun trying to converse and bring lots of smiles and laughs from locals when you try and speak Khmer.
It’s also a great way to break the ice with the locals.

2. Don’t compare Cambodian life with life back home.
You’re not living in your own country anymore, so don’t complain about the traffic, weather, power cuts and the Cambodian way of life.
Don’t be one of those expats that moan and groan about various traits of Cambodian lifestyle that are, simply cultural differences.
If you don’t like the culture change, it’s easy, get on a plane and fly back home.

3. Don’t Get Angry.
There will be times when culture clashes may occur.
Loss of face is paramount in Cambodia, which means locals don’t like to say no or admit to not knowing something.
This may cause frustration.
For example, a Cambodian may agree to do something, but when it comes to doing it, it doesn’t get done.
It’s likely that they didn’t understand what you wanted them to do.
They want to be polite, so whatever you do, remain calm, keep smiling and explain again.
Getting angry gets you nowhere in Cambodia!

4. Don’t be shy.
Cambodia’s expat scene is alive, so don’t worry about making new friends, because there are plenty of people in the same situation as you.
Get out and about and introduce yourself.
There are lots of social events happening all the time, so sign up for a few and make friends.

5. Network.
This tip is particularly relevant if you’re looking for a wife/girlfriend, contacts or maybe a way to earn a bit of extra cash.
In Cambodia, it’s often about who you know, more than what you know, so get out there and network.

6. Join Facebook groups.
Facebook is massive in Cambodia!
Facebook is a great tool to find out what’s going on with events in the Kingdom and is a great source of information.
It’s a fantastic tool to communicate and to build up a network of people.

7. Travel within Cambodia.
Coping with the challenges that are thrown at you on a daily basis while living in a foreign country, can take its toll and may become draining, especially when your living in a chaotic city.
So, get away for a weekend at the beach, an escape to the jungle, or just jump on a plane and travel to other parts of Southeast Asia.
They are all assessable and cheap to explore.

8. Don’t become a loner.
With such a thriving expat scene, it’s easy to find fellow countryman or other foreigners who call Cambodia home.
Get out of your comfort zone and fully immerse yourself in the Cambodian experience.
It’s what being an expat is all about.

9. Invest in good health insurance.
Cambodia’s healthcare system is not the best, with some horror stories flying around.
There are a handful of private hospitals and clinics that cater to most illnesses, but the costs can be exorbitant.
For emergencies and serious accidents, care simply isn’t available in Cambodia, meaning evacuation to Bangkok.
If you don’t have health insurance, then you’d better hope you have a healthy bank account.
Insurance should be a non-negotiable!

10. Cambodia is a safe destination.
Contrary to what some people living in the West may think, Cambodia is a safe country.
While there are some human rights issues within the country, life in Cambodia is peaceful.
Of course, like anywhere else in the world, crime does happen, and expats should be wary of petty crimes like bag snatches, which can be common on the odd occasion.

11. Prepare to have a fantastic new experience.
Cambodia captures the hearts of many people who visit.
Cambodians are kind, gentle and happy.
