|

Greetings all!
I'm looking to retire in a few years, and weighing the options in southeast Asia. I've been teaching in Japan for 20 years now, everything from elementary school to (currently) university. I've an MEd in TESOL, presentations/publications, the usual package found here.
Ideally, I'd like to work part time, a few classes a week, to supplement my savings and pension income. What are the best options available in Cambodia? I've visited the country a couple of times and loved it.
Any advice or hints would be greatly appreciated! |

I think you be far better off in HCMC, VN.
Very easy to pick up 6-12 hours week for $18-20USD an hour. |

Another good local online forum is Cambodia Expats Online (CEO). Have a look...

While I agree with this, for someone who's retiring Phnom Penh might more pleasant than Sai Gon (HCMC). It's a much smaller, less crowded city, but yeah, in general, schools in Cambodia pay less than those in VN.
You can find unis listed here:

Apparently some of the better ones are:
Royal University of Phnom Penh, University of Cambodia, Cambodian Mekong University, National University of Management, University of Phutisastra, Limkokwing University and Norton University. |

Whatever you do, steer clear of American University of Phnom Penh. The treat faculty like slave laborers!

Considering its small size and poverty, Phnom Penh has a very international feel with international restaurants and pubs, a small English-language bookshop, and a sizable expat population. Low prices, too. |

Thanks for the information, everyone!
I am going to be in town for the CamTesol conference in February, and may spend a bit of time getting to know the city. |

Hey, bud, you were at Meidai in the early 2000s, right? I think I remember your posts. You went back to Canada, from what I remember.
Sorry, can't offer much info on Cambodia, but just recall your posts about 10 years ago on the Japan forum. |

University jobs in Cambodia are focused in the capital Phnom Penh...there are very few jobs available and they are usually reserved for Khmers...and the pay is less than Thailand for English teachers. |
