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.
Get your faucet and shower head here:

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.
