1st Arrival In Phnom Penh, Cambodia 🇰🇭 (Better Than Bangkok?)

1st Arrival In Phnom Penh, Cambodia - Phnom Penh 1st Impressions

I have arrived in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. I arrived here after a short bus ride from Sihanoukvillle in southern Cambodia. My first mission was to get from the Phnom Penh city center to my hotel, which was a bit outside of the center. Then I wanted to visit three different parts of Phnom Penh to get first impressions of Cambodia's capital city. So, in this video we will visit the famous Phnom Penh riverfront, a local area and a new and modern area of Phnom Penh. Join me as we explore this big city and find out what's Phnom Penh, Cambodia like.

My Phnom Penh Market video: coming soon

I can't believe how friendly the locals seem! I'm definitely adding Phnom Penh to my travel list. 😊🇰🇭

[KohThai]

People in sea are so kind and friendly. Appreciate that you show this to the world in your vids.

I like it! I think the city is not too busy, does not have traffic jam like other Southeast Asian countries. The people also seems friendly and open toward foreigners. I think you are brave that you can just talk and eat all food without worry getting sick. You are really adventurist.

I also got an overall impression about phnom penh from your video. Ken! Great job and interesting experience. Thanks for sharing with us. You can definitely see more and more China's influence in Cambodia nowadays. But Cambodia still maintains some western things, like us currency, due to its colonial history . I noticed the first tuktuk driver whom you met speaks very good English !

I visited Phnom Penh ten years ago, thanks to Ken for bringing me back the fantastic memories.

[chantouchsek]

Welcome to Cambodia, where the smiles are as big as the rice fields and the hospitality is so warm it’ll make you feel like you’re in a big, loving hug from a giant bear!

[jingluo]

I have never thought Cambodia has a such modern area… wow

[mndmaz]

Hi Ken, the temple that you said on the 35:29 is the National Assembly of Cambodia

[hockchweeong]

It Is Much Better Now. More Development And Cambodians Are Have Much Better Living.
People Are Friendly And Place Safe.

It is a county overlooked by YouTubers for some reason but is so interesting- glad to see your vids!

Yes, I went to phnom penh a few years ago on a visa run from China. I was supposed to stay just a few days but with visa complications I stayed there for just over a week and a half. I was surprised at how many people could speak English and also how friendly they were. I was also surprised at how cheap the hotel was, it was a very nice and modern hotel just next to the river. Someone suggested I stay at that hotel, if I remember correctly it was The Riverside Hotel.The street I stayed in was street 136 which has a lot of bars and nightlife, as did the other surrounding streets nearby the river. I loved the rooftop cafes/bars with a great view of the city. I loved my stay there and always want to return, this time for a real holiday. My visa problem was with the Chinese embassy but I found that getting a visa for Cambodia was so easy, I got mine in just less than 15 minutes when arriving at the airport. I have heard of people retiring there and being very happy with life there especially it being so cheap. I have thought about it, still thinking about it.
