Very interesting read…. as an expat still working but would like a petmanent base, im torn between the Thai and phnom penh.
I have many friends in Bangkok that only rent,and because as they say, its cheap and they can move on when they want.
Both thai and PP are progressively getting more expensive, but as one of your forum stated, everywhere else is too. Thats progress!!!
As a smoker, i will probably opt for the happy pizza option :)) and gladly pay extra for the life in the city.
One option not mentioned, for aging guys such as myself, with a little less than 7kgs of worldly goods, is doing monthly / long term deals with hotels in both countries….

In reply to Lina. What drugs are you taking of course Cambodia is cheaper than Thailand. The £ is now worth about 50 baht approx. try renting apartment in Bangkok for the same price as phomn pehn. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Having had long experience here as both a tenant and a landlord, I can tell you the industry is a real cowboy world. It is cut-throat, most agents are always looking to steal deals from each other, and do, and there is some very unscrupulous business going on. Some agencies rip off new comers who don’t know better, especially in sales, their salespeople often don’t share in these “spoils” so the sales people cut deals with buyers to rip off their employers, when busted or when they grow tired of the game, they go off and start their own companies. If you knew how many real estate agencies right now in Phnom Penh are owned by former Rooftop salespeople it would make your head spin.

I am buying and selling homes, and am renting out a number of flats, and I have never heard if Elevated Realty before. Just had to google them now.
