Living in Phnom Penh

 

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.

Telephone/Fax

Cambodia Country Calling Code : 855
Phnom Penh Area Code : 023

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.

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.
