"Expats in Koh Rong often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English and communication can be difficult. The pace of life is also significantly slower than what many expats are used to, which can be frustrating for those accustomed to a faster, more efficient lifestyle. The lack of infrastructure and modern amenities can also be a challenge, as things like reliable internet, electricity, and clean water are not always readily available. Additionally, the local cuisine may be difficult for some to adjust to, particularly for those with dietary restrictions or preferences. Lastly, the tropical climate, while beautiful, can also be challenging due to the heat and humidity, as well as the presence of insects and other wildlife," said another expat in Koh Rong, Cambodia.
