Housing
House/apartment rental prices range from $150 - $3000/month but
average between $250 and $800/month, plus utilities. To find a place
of your own, spread the word, tell your Cambodian friends and
acquaintances and they will bring you lots of options. Also check
out the classified ads in the Cambodia Daily, and, if you have the
time, just drive around desirable neighborhoods looking for 'For
Rent' signs. Realty companies list rentals and can be quite helpful
in meeting your exact requirements and interacting with the
landlord, but these rentals tend to be comparatively more expensive.
Housing in the Boeung Keng Kang 1 (BKK1) area and the riverfront area
are quite popular with foreign residents, but tend to be more
expensive than other parts of town. When deciding where to live also
consider that parts of the city are more prone to rainy season
flooding and an unreliable electricity supply. Most rental contracts
require a security deposit of at least one month, to be applied
against the final month(s) of the contract.
Those staying in Phnom Penh short term or on a tight budget may
consider arranging a monthly rate with a hotel or guesthouse.
Several hotels in the Boeung Keng Kang 1 area cater to NGO/IO
workers on medium-term stay, offering reasonably priced, serviced
rooms.

Settling
In: Kitchenware, Furniture and Décor
Furniture
Boutique shops offer high quality and
custom made furniture. For something a bit more off-the-rack, there
are half-dozen furniture stores on the east side of Monivong between
Sihanouk and Mao Tse Toung selling quality imported home furniture.
For something more local, there is also a cluster of shops along
Monivong near Street 466 specializing in locally made wood
furniture. The least expensive option are the wicker and light wood
furniture that can be found at the little shops that line the curve
of Sothearos near the intersection of Norodom.

How to telephone
to/from Cambodia
Cambodian telephone numbers are usually listed beginning with a '0' (for
example: 023-000000.) The first three numbers (063, 023, 010, 011, 013, 034,
etc.) represent the provincial area code or the mobile phone system.
When dialing domestically, it is necessary to dial the entire number
including the '0' at the beginning. (for example: 023-000000) When
dialing internationally to Cambodia, use the country code but exclude
the '0' (for example: +855-23-000000). When dialing an international
call from Cambodia, precede the phone number with '007' or '001' (for
example: 007-662-251-0000).
Purchasing a phone
number/SIM card
In Cambodia, cell phones are more commonly used than fixed phones. Fixed
phone lines have the area code prefix 023 in Phnom Penh (there is a
different area code prefix for each province in Cambodia.) Cell phones
use SIM cards. You can purchase a SIM card with telephone number at one
of the many phone shops scattered across town. You will need a valid
passport and visa.

Tailors
Personally tailored clothing is
comparatively inexpensive in Phnom Penh, as are quality available
fabrics including the highly prized hand-woven Cambodian. Most of
the silk boutiques (see Boutiques, page 48) offer tailored clothing,
often in unique Euro-Asian designs. Local tailors are less
accustomed to foreigners but are still welcoming. Several local
tailors (for men and women) are clustered on Monivong Blvd. near the
intersection of Kampuchea Krom. Two or three popular men’s tailors
are grouped on Sihanouk Blvd. near Street 59.
The tailors always have a selection of fabrics available and the
silk boutiques offer excellent selections of quality Cambodian
silks, but if you would like to explore a bit on your own, check out
the fabrics at the local markets. Both the Russian Market and
Olympic Market offer good selections of fabrics including Cambodian
silks, linins, cottons, rayon and blends. Buy fabric at the market
and take it to the tailor of your choice.

Banks and Money
Money
Though Cambodian riel is the official
currency, US dollars are currently the de facto tender in Cambodia. Most
businesses, especially hotels, restaurants, airlines, markets and
souvenir shops set their prices in US dollars. Change of less than one
dollar is given in riel. Always carry some small riel for minor
purchases. 500 and 1000 riel notes are the most common and useful
denominations. Money changers cluster around the markets and tend to
give a slightly better exchange rate than the banks. When accepting
money, inspect the bills. Marred riel is acceptable tender, but the
tiniest tear in a large US note renders it unusable in Cambodia.
ATMs
Phnom Penh now has dozens of ATMs located
all across town. ANZ Royal Bank and Canadia Bank ATMs both
accept Cirrus, Plus, Maestro, Visa and MasterCard. SBC Bank
ATMs accept Visa and MasterCard. ACLEDA Bank ATMs accept
Visa and Gold Dots. All ATMs dispenses US dollars For
locations see the ATM icon on the city maps.
Credit Cards
Visa,
MasterCard (MC) and
JCB cards are the most widely
accepted credit cards in Cambodia. AMEX
is coming into wider use, as well as the new
ANZ Bluespot card. Diners Club (DC)
is accepted at very few place. Most businesses charge commission on
credit card payment.
Travelers
Checks Travelers checks are accepted at most
banks, major hotels and restaurants and some money changers. AMEX in US
dollars are the most widely accepted.
Cash Transfers
'Instant' cash transfers can be done through
MoneyGram or Western Union. Ordinary telegraphic transfers are available
at all major banks.
Banks
Banks provide currency and travelers check
exchange, credit card advances, telegraphic transfers and all usual
banking services. Most banks are open from 8:00 to 15:00 or 16:00PM,
Monday through Friday. Some are open Saturday mornings until 11:30.

Doctors,
Hospitals and Health
Though the medical facilities are still limited and in many cases not up
to international standards, there has been much improvement in recent
years, offering a greater range and quality of services. There are
several foreign doctors and international clinics in town, most listed
below. Calmette Hospital and the international clinics can handle most
medical problems but serious illness or injury may still require medical
evacuation, probably to Bangkok or Singapore. In addition to general
medical services, the international clinics also offer evacuation and
medical translation services. Though the cost of medical care is fairly
nominal in Cambodia, the cost of medical evacuation is exorbitant.
Medical insurance including evacuation insurance is highly advisable.
In case of medical emergency, proceed to the main hospital (Calmette
Hospital) or one of the major international clinics such as
International SOS. Be aware that the ambulance services are not always
prompt and the emergency telephone numbers sometimes go unanswered. Also
be aware that only a couple of the foreign clinics accept insurance.
Most places including the hospital expect cash or credit card payment at
time of treatment.
