"Life for a retiree in Kampong Chhnang, can be a unique and enriching experience. The city is known for its peaceful and slow-paced lifestyle, which can be a welcome change for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. The cost of living is relatively low, making it an attractive destination for retirees on a budget. While Kampong Chhnang may not have a large expat community like Phnom Penh or Siem Reap, there are a few foreigners living in the area, mostly volunteers or NGO workers. The locals are generally friendly and welcoming, and it's not uncommon for expats to form close-knit communities. Culturally, Kampong Chhnang is rich and diverse. The city is famous for its pottery and ceramics, and retirees can spend their days exploring local workshops or even learning the craft themselves. The floating villages and the local market are also popular attractions, offering a glimpse into the traditional Cambodian way of life. For recreation, there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities. The Tonle Sap Lake and the Cardamom Mountains are nearby, perfect for hiking, bird watching, or simply enjoying the natural beauty of the area. Fishing is also a popular pastime, and retirees can rent a boat for a leisurely day on the water. Nightlife in Kampong Chhnang is quiet and laid-back. There are a few local bars and restaurants where one can enjoy a meal or a drink, but don't expect the vibrant nightlife found in larger cities. Instead, evenings are often spent enjoying a peaceful stroll along the riverfront or socializing with friends and neighbors. Overall, life for a retiree in Kampong Chhnang is about embracing a slower pace of life, immersing oneself in the local culture, and enjoying the natural beauty of the surroundings," wrote a member who made the move to Kampong Chhnang, Cambodia.
