What is AsiaLIFE Guide?
AsiaLIFE Guide Phnom Penh is a monthly English-language lifestyle magazine for people living in the capital of Cambodia. The glossy, colour magazine has unique writing and photography on all elements of life in the Penh - restaurants, bars, the arts, leisure, wellness, shopping, fashion and business. We also have extensive listings sections, split into easy-to-use categories. What do you mean by unique writing?
AsiaLIFE Guide has a team of writers and photographers commissioned each month to write articles and take photographs pertaining to life in Phnom Penh. Each month we address a specific theme, such as photography, food, finding work in Phnom Penh. How long has AsiaLIFE Guide been going?
AsiaLIFE Phnom Penh was launched in December 2006. In 2008, the name of the magazine was changed to AsiaLIFE Guide Phnom Penh in a re-branding exercise. This means that we have an unrivalled archive of articles about LIFE in the Penh. How do I get hold of a copy?
The magazine is distributed free of charge in most of the best restaurants, bars, hotels and leisure facilities in Phnom Penh. If you want a copy delivered to your door (subject to a small annual charge to cover administration, postage and delivery) email us at:

. How many copies do you produce?
Each month, we publish 4,000 copies, most of which are distributed inside Phnom Penh, although some are sent to Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, So, the magazine is not solely about Phnom Penh.
No. The main focus of the magazine is life in the Penh, but we do have a section on Cambodian and regional getaways. In the past we have reviewed provincial hotels and restaurants as well as devoting issues to other cities in Cambodia. In January, 2009 we issued a Siem Reap supplement. What is you audience?
The magazine is primarily targeted at Phnom Penh expats, although the magazine has proved popular with middle-class Khmers and discerning tourists. The website is aimed for anyone with an interest in LIFE in Cambodia. How is the magazine funded?
Both magazine and website are fully-owned by Mekong Media Co. and its Publisher Mark Jackson. The magazine is financed solely by advertising revenue from the magazine and website. So, what is new about the website?
The website is much more than the magazine on-line. In addition to having all the articles contained in the current issue, the website also has an archive of most of the articles featured in previous issues of the magazine. There is also an extensive business directory with information on the major restaurants, bars, hotels, galleries, spas, etc. in Cambodia. Where the website differs from the magazine is in its interactive community sense. Members are invited to join in debates on the Forum, post their own photographs and reviews of restaurants, list their own events and enter the poll of the month. The website is very much what you make of it. How do I advertise in the magazine or on the website?
