We've heard only good things from the distant Cambodian family members that live there. This is also good because it will be cheaper to buy through friends of friends than through local land hawkers and real estate agents. Plus, being near the Thai border means as we get older, if we need modern medical care, it will be a hop, skip, and a jump away.

This way we can have the simple laid back life of Cambodia, but can take what modern things we need from Thailand. Also, my wife will be able to get a special ID card allowing to cross the border freely into the neighboring Thai province.
