We’re looking to head to eastern europe for a few months next year. We’ve been living in Thailand for the last three months so will be interesting to see how things compare. Thanks for the info, now just to decide which city..

I’d love to hear more specifics: I’m on the path to tour every worldwide digital nomad hotspot, starting with Mexico, then S.East Asia, then Europe. I have a pretty general sense of where to go, but I wish someone would write a longer comparison piece with more specific details about the different cities/lifestyles (maybe with pics?) If nobody else writes it, I guess I’ll have to….

Five years ago, I would have agreed with you on all points. Things have changed dramatically here in Sihanoukville, though. I now have a great internet connection (better than I had in Australia) for $20 a month, there are great restaurants here (including a new one that makes great Mexican food and imports their corn chips from California) and rents for Western style apartments with sit down toilets and Western height kitchen benchtops are very cheap. We used to have only one market that sold Western “comfort” foods, but now there are at least half a dozen.

Your other points are well-taken, though. I only know a few Khmer I can converse freely with without having to pick my words carefully and sometimes I wish I could pop over to Australia to attend an interesting conference.
