This is accurate. The options in Cambodia are budget friendly for everyone. I've lived in Siem Reap for over eight years and my Social Security is only $977 per month. I have no issues.

My apartment is $170, water and electricity varies but generally $30-$40 a month, food costs per month for two also varies (we do most cooking at home) but around $200-$250 a month.

All told at the end of a month, I have money left over. So if anyone says "You CAN'T LIVE IN CAMBODIA for less than $1000 a month", they're wrong.

Most of it depends on your own personal wants and needs but it's absolutely possible.

I’m an American who retired in Siem Reap 18 months ago.  I’ll be in Kampot later this month. I will not be visiting Starbucks 😮. I like to support the local owners.

I was last in Kampot in 2016
The Starbucks then was a Restaurant and Riverside bar
Nice to see it empty
Support the local businesses and close these big corporations down
Kampot doesn’t need them

I've been looking at Thailand for a while. I was suggested this video. The information you give and your video format is SO good. Thank you for giving comparisons of living in Kampot at different price points. Cambodia will be on my list to consider now.

Kampot pepper is the best in the world 🙏💝

Will come to Kampot next Monday and stay 6 month 🙏 looking forward

That guy making coffee is using a Flair 58 pro, it’s a manual espresso making but can make espresso comparable with expensive machines. I’d dedicate one of those every day.

I’m going to Cambodia next month and Kampot is already at the top of my list. Good video, I like your low-key and informative style.

Excellent tour Jim!  Still one of my favorite Youtubers.  This gives me so many ideas for retirement.

I knew Monkey Republic as Blissful Gardens during my first  visit to Kampot way back 2012.
By far the most popular backpacker place in Kampot.
If you turned up and it was already full, they'd give you a beer chit to use at night.
50 cent for a beer, all the different vodkas and the biggest candle monument ive seen in a bar.
Those who couldnt get a place to stay would return the next morning and queue in the hope they'd get a place to sleep at BG.
Great place to hang out and meet new friends and get to know the brits and aussies who were working on the railway tracks.
My room was 1 usd a night with shared bathroom.

Thanks. Very informative

Thank you so much for your video. I live in Australia on the Gold Coast in Queensland and I have heard great things about this area. Due to a friend who is about to move there in October permanently. You’ve shared a lot of things prices places to go and the nature and the calmness of the place is something that myself and I believe many westerners who want to have a tranquil but good life would love to see. Thank you for your great video.

The pace, visual compositions and color of your video is great as is the information.

Great video. I like how you showed the econo and the high end.

My first introduction to this area thank you.  Subscribed and liked.  James J Walsh in Limerick city Ireland 🇮🇪
