Where should I setup a bank account in Kampong Chhnang?

"Expats considering retirement in Kampong Chhnang, should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, the cost of living is relatively low compared to Western countries, but it's important to have a reliable source of income. The local currency is the Cambodian Riel, but US dollars are widely accepted. Healthcare facilities in Kampong Chhnang are not as advanced as in Western countries, so it's advisable to have a comprehensive health insurance plan that covers treatment in private hospitals or medical evacuation. The official language is Khmer, and while English is spoken in tourist areas and by some locals, learning some basic Khmer phrases can be beneficial. The climate is tropical with a wet and dry season, which can take some getting used to. The local cuisine is diverse and delicious, but it's important to be cautious with street food due to hygiene concerns. Cambodia has a rich history and culture, and respecting local customs and traditions is important. The visa process for retirees is relatively straightforward, but it's advisable to consult with a legal expert to ensure all paperwork is correctly completed. Safety can be a concern in some areas, so it's important to stay informed about local news and avoid risky situations. Finally, while Cambodia is developing rapidly, some areas, including Kampong Chhnang, still lack certain Western amenities. Therefore, it's important to be adaptable and open-minded," explained one expat living in Kampong Chhnang, Cambodia.
