People in Thailand told me for so long to never go to Cambodia so I didn't. I eventually went on my own 6 years ago and now it's the place where I spend most of my time when travelling SE Asia. I love it so much that I'm moving there this year! Cambodia is a truly special place as well as being ranked as one of the top friendliest countries in the world.

Loving the videos! As a Cambodian myself I am delighted that my country is being shown and spread to other parts of the world. However there are some things in the video that I have to correct. The hotel in the video wasn’t actually abandoned during the war, it was a resort built more than 10 years ago and some parts of it are still being used to accommodate guests but most of it is unfortunately abandoned due to the lack of guests. Finally, the statue on the mountain wasn’t Buddha, we call her “Lok Yey Mao” or Grandma Mao, she is known to be the guardian of the coastal cities. Hope to see what you have in store for your next adventures!

I'm in kampot now, been in cambodia 10 days now, couldn't agree more. This place and the people here are very special. This country caught me by suprise, love it here

[anuradhabiswas]

Couldn't agree more...after all that the Cambodian people have been through, their gentle kindness fills me with amazement. 💜

Paddy, you nailed it. I travelled to Cambodia in 2002 as part of a 10 month trip and spent 10 days in this beautiful country. I travelled overland from Bangkok to Siem Reap, which was horribly uncomfortable, and then a boat from Siem Reap to Battambang and then back to Bangkok. The thing that really stuck with me was the beauty of the Cambodian people. I was told that Thailand was the Land of Smiles, and in many ways it was, but Cambodia is where I truly felt that the people were genuinely happy that I was there. Travelling through the countryside, with the kids running to the side of the road to wave hello, and everyone else just nicer than you can imagine, the country was pure magic. I am glad to hear that it's apparently still the same

Paddy you have done yourself and Cambodia 🇰🇭 proud, respect from 🇬🇧

[kimberleychretien]

Thank you Paddy for your great videos! I’m currently travelling Cambodia & loving it! Prior to Cambodia, I was in Vietnam for a month. Your videos helped with my travel research… so very helpful. For anyone not sure about Cambodia, please rethink it… not only the food & culture is so very special, but the people of kind, generous & sweet as well. Just remember to be kind right back. Happy travels everyone.

Cambodia is a very special place. I am proud to say that I call this country my home now after 3 years and I can easily live here forever. Kep is my absolute favourite place. I just feel that connection. I believe, and this is just hear say, that the statue of the lady in Kep was built in honor of her husband who was a fisherman, and went out fishing one day and never returned, and this is her sitting on the rocks waiting for her husband to return. Love your videos Paddy and enjoy my country.

I agree with you that Cambodia was my favorite out of Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos. Each country had its own charm but Cambodia really does have a different feel and after learning about the history it's quite amazing how that country has continued to persevere. The great beer prices help, as well as the amazing Angkor What. I want to go back so badly. Hope you made it to Koh Rong as well! Right off of Kampot.

[connielinz]

Thanks Paddy for taking us on this journey through Cambodia. I also agree that there is something very special about the Cambodian people :)

[janellem]

I absolutely agree about how amazing Cambodia is to travel in!! When I went as a backpacker in 2015 I was also told by many that it wasn’t their favourite but even tho I had a near death allergic reaction it was my favourite country of that trip. I look forward to returning someday soon. Happy to see someone share the same feelings towards that beautiful country and it’s resilient people ❤

Kampot was my favorite in Cambodia. You have a beach, river and mountains all in one ❤

[chemvuthsovin]

Kampot isn’t the only beach/costal city in Cambodia. There’s also Koh Kong which is a city next to Thailand border and Sihanoukville, the more modern beach city with high rises and white sand beach (about 100km away from Kampot). There are also many islands in the area that you could explore, like Rabbit Island, Koh Rong, Koh Rong Sanloeum, Bamboo Island, and many more. Phu Quoc island or Koh Trol used to belong to Cambodia that’s why it’s closer to mainland Cambodia than it is to mainland Vietnam. It is the most controversial dispute between the two countries over decades. Thank you for your videos and for coming to our country. ❤

[timkdiamond]

I think the negativity about Cambodia may centre around Snook and what it has become. I’ve not been out to the islands either for six years or so but they were amazing. Cambodia is its own clique. And I think your observation about the people and what they’ve been through is spot on. The energy of a place comes from its people and as we swapped notes on before Cambodia is far less tourist fatigued from my perspective. These shoots and edits have a really nice chilled out feel. From the initial impressions vid with Cowboy it’s been a real pleasure catching this series. Cheers man. 🍻✌️

Thanks for promoting Cambodia to the world, it means so much to Cambodian people ❤

[speruman]

I felt exactly the same way as you described about Cambodia when I was there for a month in 2016. I spent time in Phnom Penh and also Battambang, and of course Siem Reip and Angkor Wat. I felt the resilience of the people and how they were turning the page from so much suffering to embracing life and joy. I really found it moving. There's also an innocence there. Super special country. I'm glad you felt that too.

[garethpotter]

I loved Kep when we visited a few years back. The crab market there was great and I remember having one of my favourite ever meals there (although, in general the food wasn’t as spectacular as Thailand, the Kampot pepper sauce is delicious). We also visited Koh Tonsay, a tiny island off the Kep coast for a day and ended up staying for a week. Fantastic people and the ‘rough around the edges’ aspect actually added to its charm for me. Great video as always Paddy.

I love Cambodia people very friendly smile and kind

[xscapeartistry]

Cambodia…oh my heart! I have loved every moment of both trips - except for the transit through Sihanoukville to get to Koh Rong and Koh Rong Sanloem. Which btw I highly highly rate!

Those islands are national parks and have not been infected by the scourge of Sihanoukville.

In fact I’d rate them above most Thai islands. They’re naturally stunning but set into a national park so no big developments. Samoleon doesn’t even have roads. Just beach huts set on the white sand. Some are luxe most are budget friendly. On 4K beach on Koh Rong you can sleep in tents.

A trip that I’m told is reminiscent of visiting the Thai islands in the 70-80s. I absolutely loved it.
