How Cambodia sells through chat.
From an anonymised review of real shop chats.
Size and colour before price
Buyers ask about size, colour and fit first. Haggling is rare, so TobSar is built to answer questions, not to bargain.
Bong, M mean ot? 🙏Voice is normal
Buyers and sellers both send voice notes, especially on Telegram. TobSar listens to Khmer voice notes and understands them.
🎤 0:07Khmer and English, mixed
Messages mix Khmer, English and romanised shorthand, with "bong" almost everywhere. TobSar reads it as it is written.
Ok bong, jah! 👍Details arrive early
Buyers often send their phone number and address before they are asked, and out of order, in the middle of other questions.
