Yeah the last one you sent didn’t say air quality. Just was a fun colorful map

I had WAY more power and water outages in Samui and Phangan than I have in Siem Reap

@Ken *****
more English speakers in Siem reap than most places I went to in Thailand. There’s two cinemas in Siem reap and a dozen or so in Phnom Penh

pharmacies and supermarkets are great. I’d say Angkor market rivals most Thai supermarkets especially for imported stuff. I have no experience yet with the hospitals, but also Bangkok is a one hour flight away if you need top-notch healthcare

none. The travel agency did it all for me. I slipped them an extra $20 to keep it painless. I have an ordinary (E-type) visa. You pay $5 extra at the airport or border for it. At a local travel agency they extended it for me for 6 months for about $160, which includes a multiple entry permit so I can leave and come back as much as I want. The time to process this can be 1 to 10 days depending on the backlog. After the 6 months you can extend for another year for $290, and you can do that indefinitely. I believe for a retirement extension you can do it for another year right away
