Sorry, this kind of got away from me...

These are really helpful responses, guys! Thank you much!

You don't need a script to buy medicine and depending on what you need, if it is available and how much it would cost you if what you need to find out.  Also, when you say 'small income', how much and is it passive or varies from month to month?  So the answers you are looking for, you need to provide more specific info and to disclose it on a public forum such as this is not a wise thing to do.  Need to find a private contact person living there to give them the details and with that focusing on an area where to live like you describe without financial worries and health concerns will determine the best places to live here.  I lived in siem reap, sihanoukville, kampot and now in phnom penh.  each having good and bad points about them.  also consider weather conditions and bug infestation and western type necessities that you must have or can live without.  this is a 3rd world country still.  also the foods that you can eat and how strong your immune system is to handle it.  so my best advice is to make a visit here first to towns that interest you and see if it has what you need and can afford first.  If you can't afford to do that, then you can't afford to live anywhere that you think is cheap.  met many people from different countries thinking they could live cheap here only ending up pinching pennies and eating unhealthy foods because it's cheap but end up asking for help from their family or friends because unless you have skills that are in demand and pays well with little amount of passive income to live on, it won't take long where you end up feeling you were better off where you are now.  On the other hand if living in cheap places and eating cheap foods and the climate conditions doesn't bother you where you don't need a/c...then it could turn out ok for you.  so my suggestion is to check it out for yourself first to make sure making the move is right for you.  Plus you will know what you need to bring with you if you make the move to live here.  hope that helps you out.
