Samraong, Cambodia

Living in this rural Cambodian commune is a grind. Samraong has 9 villages, a bureaucratic headache that can make basic tasks a slog. The climate is tropical, with hot, humid conditions year-round. While the cost of living is low, the lack of infrastructure and remote location mean Samraong is best suited for self-sufficient expats seeking an off-the-grid lifestyle, not those looking for modern comforts.
