Cambodian TV uses the PAL system. U.S.-made televisions and VCRs do not receive Cambodian broadcast signals. You must have a locally purchased TV/VCR, or a multi-system TV/VCR. Nevertheless, some families bring their U.S.-made TVs and VCRs in order to watch video movie tapes. Televisions, VCRs and DVD players can be purchased locally at rates comparable to those in the U.S. (U.S. brands are generally not available.) Prices are less expensive at local markets but quality cannot be guaranteed. Most electronic equipment is imported from Singapore or Bangkok. Videotapes and VCD/DVDs of American movies can be purchased inexpensively in the local markets, although quality is frequently poor. A video rental store stocks movies in both English and French.

Individual hobbies and interests are more important here than in the United States. A group of women meets weekly to work on various handicrafts. Bring your own hobby supplies, as little is available locally. The International School has a good library for a school of its size; the British Embassy library also has some books, including some for children. Families should include a supply of children’s books in their effects. Bring along a TV, DVD, and VCR for additional home entertainment. A community video library exists at AERA, but most of the titles are old. Many families share and exchange personal video and DVDs. For more on videos, DVDs, and books, see sections on “Radio and TV” and “Books, Newspapers, Magazines, and Technical Journals” above. ... [Read More]

Mission personnel are cautioned against purchasing pirated video and audio tapes and disks that are available all over Thailand and are illegal under Thai and U.S. law. Compact music disks, video compact disks (VCD) and digital video disks (DVD) are inexpensive, though imported ones are more costly. A number of stores specialize in renting videotapes, VCDs and DVDs although these are in the PAL format. Pianos can be rented, and Bangkok has qualified piano tuners. Beauty shops and spas with personnel trained in facial and body massage, manicures, pedicures, and hair styling are numerous and reasonably priced. Barbershops operate in most of the major hotels, and there is also one located on the JUSMAG compound, approximately one mile from the Chancery.

To view or record local TV, a multisystem TV and VCR are recommended. The VHS format is universally used at post, and the CLO has a videotape library for sharing with others. China has leapfrogged over VHS technology to VCD and DVD; therefore, VHS tapes are not readily available on the local market. Most post personnel purchase U.S. standard DVD players upon arrival, which range in price from US$300 to US$600. FoodLast Updated: 12/11/2003 9:02 AM ... [Read More]

Vendors sell or rent DVDs, VCDs, laser disks, and PAL videotapes. Locally sold or rented videotapes are censored. Local power is 220v, 50‑cycle, AC but fluctuates widely. A voltage regulator, available locally, is recommended to protect audio and video equipment. U.S.‑standard NTSC videotapes are rented by the commissary and the AERA Club, so U.S.‑standard televisions and VCRs are useful to view these videos. ... Other officers occupy three- to four‑bedroom detached houses with small yards or two-to-three-bedroom apartments, depending on family size. Houses generally require domestic staff, and some personnel hire night guards as well. Apartments are located in secure, high-rise facilities. All attempts are made to house new arrivals in permanent housing, but if make-ready work or transfer dates conflict, the Consulate General will make arrangements for temporary hotel accommodations. FurnishingsLast Updated: 3/1/2005 6:52 AM All houses are furnished with basic items, including furniture, refrigerators, some lamps, air‑conditioners, water heaters, gas stoves, freezers, washers, and dryers.
