"Expats considering retirement in Preah Vihear, 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 Preah Vihear are not as advanced as in Western countries, so it's advisable to have a comprehensive health insurance plan that covers medical evacuation. The official language is Khmer, so learning the basics of the language would be beneficial, although English is spoken in many places. The climate is tropical with a wet and dry season, which may take some adjustment for those used to temperate climates. The culture is deeply rooted in Buddhism and respect for elders is paramount. It's important to respect local customs and traditions. The visa process for long-term stay can be complex and may require the assistance of a local lawyer or immigration expert. The crime rate is relatively low, but petty crime like pickpocketing can occur, so it's important to take basic safety precautions. The infrastructure, particularly in rural areas, may not be as developed as in Western countries. Power outages can be common and internet connectivity can be unreliable. Finally, it's important to note that the political situation in Cambodia can be unpredictable, so it's advisable to stay informed about current events," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Preah Vihear, Cambodia.
