Like VD said, Cambodia is a cheaper, more raw (in terms of poverty and crime) version of Thailand. If you are thinking about moving there, keep in mind that in a lot of the areas the internet is VERY slow and goes down completely almost daily.
Good beaches, cheap food and drink, nice and friendly people.
Rampant poverty, noticeable levels of crime, unstable government.
Overall a good country to visit but I couldn't see myself living there for an extended period of time, at least with the way things are right now (still in the early stages of development). Thailand would be the better choice between the two.

but u sure can bet! >
If you mean moving there to bet for a living, it wouldn't be feasible in my opinion.
Not good enough banking facilities, and add the inconsistency of electricity and internet...it just wouldn't be possible at this point. Maybe 5-10 years down the road.
Like I said, Thailand would be a much better choice all around. The internet is reliable, banking is pretty solid, and there are ways around everything else.
It would seem to me that if somebody wanted to make a decent income in a place like Pattaya, booking wouldn't be such a bad idea, as long as you can take action on soccer for the Brits and rugby for the Aussies.
Too risky for me, even though you could buy your way out of trouble most likely. :nono5:
I was told specifically not to start booking....could be a little trouble with the locals...there are various hold-em games around town and a few backgammon games...
The only way you could book is to become an agent and let your customers bet online....sportsbooks still appear on the internet in Pattaya...
I guess it would depend on whether or not you want to pay taxes..
If you are retiring to a place like Thailand, there are certain requirements that you must meet (assuming you are moving there on a retirement visa - only for those 50 or older), such as having 800,000 baht (about $22,500), and proving that you have a certain amount of incoming coming in from savings, pension, etc.
