Siem Reap is now on ExpatsList

Siem Reap now has its own page on ExpatsList, and Cambodia has a country hub to go with it. The town is far more than the base for visiting Angkor: compact, cheap by any standard on this site, with a long-established foreign community and a food scene out of all proportion to its size.

The starter-pack guide covers the visa mechanics that make Cambodia unusually easy to stay in, why the ordinary visa beats the tourist one, the airport that moved east of town in 2023, and the practical realities: power cuts, dollars as everyday currency, and Bangkok as the plan for anything medically serious.

Recommendations, questions and classifieds for the city open from today. This first post is a placeholder while the city fills up.
