Why Are the People Living Close to the Railroad Tracks?
Exploring the economics of proximity — how geography shapes financial reality in developing economies.
If you're a foreigner living in Siem Reap, you know the gap. Grab can get you a coffee or a restaurant meal — but try ordering a full week of groceries from a local market. You can't. The only real option is hiring a full-time housekeeper, which is overkill if all you need is someone to fill your fridge.
We sit right in that gap — using AI to bridge the language, logistics, and inventory challenges that make local markets inaccessible to foreigners. No long-term commitment. No language barriers. No navigating a market in 35°C heat trying to read Khmer price tags. Just tell us what you need, and it shows up at your door.
Restaurant meals only. Can't order from local markets. Can't fill a household.
Full market access. Order what you want, when you want.
Monthly salary, management overhead. Overkill for groceries.

Add items to your cart and check out. No minimum order. No subscription. No commitment.

We're developing an AI-powered e-commerce platform and actively partnering with local development teams and university talent to bring it to life.
