Understood, but that is surely not the basic reason for resorting to taking it? That's what I was hoping to find out.

As I mentioned  previously,  I did not find drugs a Problem  in SR when I was last there in January,  two guys both good! I am back in November,  I hope, and will report.

Yes, but my question was pretty obviously intended for the others who did find evidence of considerable drug abuse.

I lived there for the last 6 months

I am curious how you managed to stay in Cambodia for six months.  What visa did you have?  I believe the tourist visa is only good for 30 days, but renewable for another 30 days.  I have been investigating retirement visa's, but have not come across anything that would allow me to stay there for six months.  Would be interested in learning more about this.  

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, guys.  Was just spending some time browsing the Gay Cambodia section and ran across this.

I'm a romantic at heart. If I find a guy that meets most of my needs and shares most of my values and is hotttttt, I'd pursue a relationship and "hang up my boxing gloves". I've always been monogamous in relationships in the past

Same here.  Romantic at heart and prefer monogamous relationship.  Have met someone from Cambodia who is currently working in Bangkok.  Plans to return to Cambodia near Siem Reap soon.  Looking into a visit to Cambodia...never been.  If all goes well, plan to 'hang up my boxing gloves' and apply for retirement visa there.

Perhaps business visa ? One of our members  may chip in as I believe he stay there 1 year in covid time  on such a visa

Perhaps business visa

Thanks, @vinapu.  That comment led me to the following information:

Ordinary (E-Class) Visa: Formerly known as a business visa, this is the best option for stays longer than 30 days, including working, retirement, or students. It is valid for 30 days initially but can be extended for 1, 3, 6, or 12 months.

If you enter on an E-Class visa, you can apply for an Extension of Stay (EOS): 

>EB Visa (Business/Ordinary): For those working or intending to work, extendable up to 12 months.

>ER Visa (Retirement): For retirees showing proof of retirement.   This would be the category I would pursue as a temporary solution.  Cambodia does have an actual retirement visa I would apply for eventually.
