What do expats find most challenging?

Answer this Question

We asked expats and digital nomads what they find the most challenging about the local culture in Kampong Cham. They wrote...

"Expats in Kampong Cham often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as the majority of locals speak Khmer and very little English. The cultural norms and etiquette can also be difficult to navigate, as they are often very different from Western customs. For example, public displays of affection are generally frowned upon, and it is considered rude to touch someone's head. The local diet, which heavily features rice and fish, can also be a challenge for expats who are not used to such cuisine. The slow pace of life can be frustrating for those used to a faster, more hectic lifestyle. Additionally, the lack of modern conveniences and infrastructure, such as reliable internet and healthcare facilities, can also pose challenges. Lastly, the hot and humid climate can be uncomfortable for those not accustomed to such weather," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Kampong Cham, Cambodia.
