Siem Riep has a nice suburb feeling. At first sight it seems there's not much to do besides Angkor Wat and Pub Street, but you can go swimming, do bicycle tours, floating village day trip... I don't have best social skill, but in Siem Reap it was so easy to make new friends. Locals and tourists! I've worked at Garage Society Coworking Space. Pretty nice place. I don't understand the cons of slow internet. I've bought an LTE 4G Sim card for 10 USD with 10 GB. There's also free and mostly fast wifi at almost every cafe, restaurant, bar and hotel. And about cost of lining: I've met some locals. First local was a single mom with 3 kids living 10 minutes away from pub street by tuk tuk. She is spending only 100 USD for 1 room studio apartment including water and power and 50 USD for food for her and the kids (I've been at her home). Second local was another girl who earned 120 USD per month by working at a hotel. So 400 USD cost of living for a local is waaay too high as it is mentioned here. And night life is pretty awesome (at least it was before Covid 19). Bars and clubs everywhere at pub street and really crowded every night in high seasons. Temple Bar was awesome.
