Climate Accomodation by 12HourChange
To the expats who have been here over a year . . . do you become more accustomed to the warm temps as time goes by? I have been in Siem Reap for four months. I think I'm getting more acclimated, but I do often sweat a great deal while out and ...

Hello I have always done long walks with friends or on my own. I came to Siem Reap in December, if you like walking but also laughing, discussing seriously or just relaxing, contact me, walking in Siem Reap isn't that easy but there are some ...

Darn that sounds hot, and I don't suppose folk walk around in bathing suits..jk Well, maybe I won't last a month, so might as well stay in hotel rather than look into renting an apartment. Read More

Wow, it is only 27 degrees here. We have a sea breeze so going to the beach helps dissipate the heat. How's the humidity there in Siem Reap? I figure it will be early morning walks for me and afternoon siestas like they do here in Mexico. Are ... Read More

how is the electricity there? by Judy expat in Mexico
I meant to ask, how is the electricity there? Same as in the US or do I need an adapter?

Sorry, not sure I understand. So my cell charger fits the plug but might not work and an adapter of what kind would guarantee it will connect? Read More
