Where should I setup a bank account in Kampot?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Kampot what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Expats considering retirement in Kampot, should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, the cost of living is relatively low compared to Western countries, making it an attractive option for retirees. However, healthcare facilities may not be up to the standards that expats from developed countries are accustomed to. It's important to note that while English is spoken in many places, learning some basic Khmer, the local language, can greatly enhance your experience. The climate in Kampot is tropical, with a rainy season from May to October and a dry season from November to April. Expats should also be aware that they will need a retirement visa to stay in Cambodia long-term. This visa does not allow you to work, but you can live in the country year-round. Kampot is known for its relaxed atmosphere and beautiful natural surroundings, including the Bokor National Park and the Prek Kampot River. However, it's a small town, so it may not offer the same level of entertainment or amenities as larger cities. Safety can be a concern in Cambodia, so it's important to take precautions, such as avoiding isolated areas at night and being aware of your belongings at all times. Finally, it's crucial to respect local customs and traditions. Cambodia has a rich cultural history, and showing respect for local ways of life will help you integrate into the community," remarked another expat in Kampot, Cambodia.
