Rare indeed, but I even have a dreadlock swim cap too when necessary. Almost one thing is certain, the price of land in Cambodia almost only goes up with time, about the same rate as my PancakeSwap APR. Being near the Thai border means access to modern medical care if necessary, as well flying out of BKK much cheaper than Phnom Penh.
Also, my wife speaks and reads Thai well enough, and there is already a lot of Thai tourism in the area. We've noticed on the Thai border areas that local Khmers cater to Thai expectations, and things like fried rice are full of flavor and spice in these areas, also with much better hygiene, because these are things Thais fear about Cambodia.
Because Thais like to travel in Cambodia almost like western tourists, a modern-ish boutique resort with Thai-speaking staff and Thai language menus might be a good idea. Admittedly 90% of Thai visitors go for the casino though.
Wow.. that is pretty interesting.. Your wife can speak Thai.. and it is the first time I've heard of dreadlock swim caps. I guess being near the Thai border is like Miri being next to Brunei. A lot of Bruneians come to Miri to visit and spend in Miri. Now unfortunately due to lockdowns, they are stranded in Brunei.
It looks like your plan is well though out. It is just a matter of time before this plan gets materialized.. I am excited to see your progress... =) I am sure one day, your family is going to be doing quite well in Cambodia maybe in a couple of months time.
Your using metamask for your Pancakeswap? or other wallets? I've wanted to do so but have been a bit worries about my metamask getting hacked. So far so good?
I use Metamask, no problems yet, feels safe to me. I don't think I will ever have enough to crypto investments to worry about a hardware wallet because all my crypto is staked, and therefore not technically in my wallet until withdrawn and converted to fiat. But even then, it will only be in my MetaMask for a brief moment before sending to Binance.US, or other cash-out options.
Without having to pay rent, we could live comfortably off of the passive income from $4,000 USD in PancakeSwap.
