"Life for a retiree in Kampong Speu, can be a unique blend of tranquility and cultural immersion. The region is primarily rural, offering a peaceful lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The expat community is not as large or active as in the major cities like Phnom Penh or Siem Reap, but there are still a number of foreigners who have chosen to settle in the area, providing a sense of camaraderie and shared experience. Cultural attractions abound in Kampong Speu and its surroundings. The region is rich in traditional Cambodian culture, with numerous temples and pagodas scattered throughout the area. The local markets are a feast for the senses, offering a wide array of local produce, handicrafts, and street food. The Chambok Ecotourism Site is a popular destination, offering opportunities to explore the local flora and fauna, and engage with the local community. Recreational activities in Kampong Speu are largely centered around the natural environment. The region is home to the Kirirom National Park, which offers hiking, bird watching, and camping. The Cardamom Mountains are also within reach, offering more challenging treks and stunning views. For those who prefer a more leisurely pace, there are numerous opportunities for fishing and picnicking along the local rivers and lakes. Nightlife in Kampong Speu is relatively quiet, reflecting the region's rural character. There are a few local bars and restaurants where one can enjoy a meal and a drink, but the scene is far from the vibrant nightlife found in Cambodia's larger cities. However, this can be a positive for retirees seeking a peaceful and relaxed lifestyle, with the opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty of the region under the starlit sky," commented one expat who made the move to Kampong Speu, Cambodia.
