Apartment Tour - Phnom Penh, Cambodia - One Year In
Apartment tour of our home in BKK1, Phnom Penh, Cambodia. We've lived in Phnom Penh for a year now and it's time to show you every inch of the apartment we rent in Boeng Keng Kang 1 (BKK1). I'll show you the building we live in, talk about the location, show you the parking garage, the elevators, the 1 bedroom apartment that we rent for $750/month, the pool, the gym, the spa, and the other facilities that our building offers. I'll also show you what the unit looked like a year ago, before we moved in, and talk about the things we had to buy to make it feel like home.

Enjoyed the walk through, I could easily live there as it has everything a person needs. I look forward to seeing the upgrades.
Good luck on the next place.hope is bigger and it suits you both.
Nice touch on the faucet filter!! Definitely going to buy one!
looks good. thanks for the tour
Been watching you for a few months in anticipation of my move to Phnom Penh a few weeks ago. Just noticed how close you are to me. I'm just on the next lane at Baramii Apartments on st 352 HAHA!

Much better deals in Sen Sok. And you have your big box type stores there. People like it, but it feels so far away from the rest of the city.
Wow. Great tour. Price was enlightening. Not sure how I feel about the water, could be largely aesthetics (but let's face it, pretty much all U.S. households filter their water).
Just moved to Phnom Penh from the U.S and this is wild to see! Where we used to live we made far less each month then we do now and lived in an apartment like the one in this video for over twice the expense. There were four of us living there to even afford it. Living expenses here are so much more manageable, even "expensive" places like this! 👀 Looks really nice btw, hope you guys enjoy it!

Yes. A lot of people are saying how expensive it is, and it is expensive for Cambodia, but a similar place in the nicest area of any western capital would be far more.

700 USD, you can rent a nice place in Bangkok and nearby the most convenient metro transportation system in SEA (railways system as metro or sky train). You will also get free WIFI and easily to access convenient stores and pharmacies that you can easily finds them in every corner of Bangkok.
Looks like a nice apartment but BKK1 is the nicest location in PP and not cheap. We checked a few apartments around Aeon1 Mall and they are about the same price. Russian Market area is much cheaper but not the best place. We're coming over in a few months Happy early fall from Minnesota!

Yes, you can save a lot of money or have a much bigger place if you just cross one of the major roads and leave Bkk1. For the same price it's possible to get a 2 bedroom in the Russian market.
Great video thanks. The google doc for the faucet filter isn’t loading. What shop did you get that at?
Ryan you should check out "Mystery Cambodia" current apartment. He just moved into a brand new luxury apartment that they just built for $450/month. I think that one has a gym and pool as well.

Apartments aren't exactly cheap here, but it is possible to find really cheap places - $200/month - but probably not in bkk1, and definitely not with a pool and gym, 24 hour security, internet, cable, garbage collection, and 2 times a week cleaning.
When you talk about price or costs, do you refer to USD or is that another currency??

Yes, USD. In Cambodia they use USD as their second currency.

Bangkok apartments are much cheaper generally. But you have to keep in mind that apartment is in one of the very best locations in the city. An apartment in Bangkok's most expensive neighborhood would actually cost more.

Sara. She said since I'm home all the time I have more temptation. She was right.
It's nice but $750 seems steep.
Wow people are complaining about $750 being too expensive, I live in CA and I was paying $1800 for 1 BEDROOM, now it's $2500 for 2 BEDROOM. I hear ya, BKK is a prime location in Phnom Penh hence more expensive to live there. A couple years ago I was paying $600/monthly 1 BEDROOM at Bodaiju in PP, one of the best apartments I've stayed at... Unfortunately WFM doesn't allow me to live overseas anymore otherwise I would be back in ASIA.
