i been here for 20 years the land prices here are crazy high, as a non Khmer you will find you be putting the title in a locals name, but honestly you are far better to rent as rents are low. do not worry about the high fencing and barred wire its normal every where you go, bars on windows also, as far as crime goes, i seen very little in my 20 years here, far safer than places in Australia i have lived, best bet is to treat people with the respect they deserve and you will be fine.

If you become a Cambodian citizen you can own land. I live in Siem Reap and built a house and put it in my Cambodian's girlfriends name. I live here on a retirement visa with my girlfriend and my stepdaughter. It's a great place to live if you associate with the right people. I have no problem. I have been to a few places and to a military base that her uncle is the commanding officer and have been met with respect everywhere I go. Cambodia is a safe country. If you look around you can find some great deals on renting a house or appointment. My girlfriend cooks and I enjoy her food better than any of the restaurants so we eat at home most of the time. Also my home is sealed off from the flies. The Fly is the national bird of Cambodia.

I’m an American expat living in Cambodia for the past 9 years. You are wrong! Land and houses here are incredibly expensive for what you get. Same with cars, very expensive due to taxes. Unfortunately they build a lot of “shop houses” that within a few years are essentially slums.

Although not necessarily age related, men often fall victim to being O.L.D. (Overlooked, Lonely & Desperate). When that happens, more often than not, men tend to rationalize making bad financial and emotional decisions regarding women. Women can sense this like a shark senses blood in the water. The best way to control your M.E.S.S. (Money, Emotions, Sanity & Seed). 1. Money - Never let a woman dictate when, where or why you spend your hard-earned cash. 2. Emotions - Don't not let desperation for companionship override your strength as a man. 3. Sanity - Never engage with a quarrelsome or abusive woman. Be stoic and walk away. 4. Seed - Never let a woman use sex as a means to manipulate items 1 - 3.

En-mass, they are like locusts, consumming everything in their path. If not already in the pocket of the Chinese, the Cambodian government should give jobs to finish the project, and sell the characterless cloned concrete 'houses' to LOCAL CAMBODIAN PEOPLE, CHEAP.
