Electricity and Electronics in Phnom Penh by Cheekemonkey

Hi again! I have been researching what type of electrical outlets are common in apartments to prepare accordingly (buying adapters and converters) for North American chargers and electronics I am planning to bring with me. Can anyone confirm what ...

When talking about electricity, sockets etc its also worthwhile to mention to be prepared for some minor power cuts; as it is a normal occurance in this part of the world. Most places catering to expats have a power generator; but if you plan on ... Read More

1. Generator, i guess it means what it means; 24hrs electricity. 2. Some apartment buildings do have reserve water tanks. 3. Deposit being paid back ? Its tough to answer; its safer to go through a real estate agent as he can be your ... Read More

From my understanding Indian nationals are perhaps the most welcome expats in Nepal due to cultural and business ties. If you want to be legal in Nepal then you should consult a lawyer and he will indicate what needs to be done by him and the ... Read More

Probably the easiest way to settle in Nepal is to be of Indian nationality; the culture and language are very similar and you can use your currency in Nepal without even exchanging it; for example. I don't see why you should have any problem ... Read More
