Cool video. I've been to Cambodia three times (2xs flying and once by bus). It's an amazing place and definitely as worth a trip as Thialand and Vietnam are. The food is fantastic while being different and unique from Thai and Vietnamese food. Angkor Wat (and my favorite, Bayonne) should be on everyone's bucket list!

Been living here for 5 months now. It’s fantastic. Nice video. Thanks for sharing.

Talk about the safety in Cambodia, you have been mentioned bag grabbing from tuk tuk and pocket picking. You have spent one moth in Cambodia, do you have any experience regarding the bag grabbing and pocket picking ? For me I went to Cambodia a million time and I never ever haven’t have those experiences. I think it’s time for those tourists need to stop bad mouthing about Cambodia and gave Cambodian a bad name. I personally got robbed in a brought day in Bangkok Thailand and you tell me how safe is Thailand?

WoW! That’s Incredibly Cool! Cheers for more awesome and breathtaking globetrotting adventures!🥂❤️✨

I met my fiancé in Cambodia . I found the people so friendly and welcoming to foreigners. Use pass ap or similar to get a tuk tuk . I found so many speak English.

Incredibly helpful video. Hit all the key questions

[BeekicchinDaidocoro]

Well, ethics cleansing in Cambodia happened many times over and this still affected a country development as indicated on your video. Unless Cambodia changed from within then it will be hard to understand the cross road of their cultural and beings.

Since towards the end of 1978 visiting through help Aids Organization till now we still can’t really grasped the direction of authenticity or finding the gems in Cambodia that stand out - particularly from Tourism perspective. Though the infrastructure has improved and there are still of the beaten track waiting to be discovered, but in reality Cambodia is not a country for those seeking an all rounded happy holiday experienced on a two or three week short holiday.

You are - Especially on point about Chinese visitors who is now the new boss taking over Cambodia. Recently - Under Vietnam political control doesn’t help the real suffering Cambodian locals in their freedom rights. The rising problem of land ownership and legal affairs for half of the natives Cambodian are at disadvantage.
Then on top = being heavily influenced by the Thai culture and traditions heritage to the point of mimicking Thailand selling point is undoubtedly doing more harm than good and devaluing real Cambodian values a lot more than it used to be.
For example = Why would pad Thai, hor mhok or armok, Tom yum and many dishes become authentic traditional Cambodian food. Why Thailand traditional Loy kratong November water festival has now been claimed to represent Cambodia festive selling point. The hideous claiming acts from their neighboring Vietnam, Lao, Thailand and other nations are being added on to Cambodian originality list goes up in numbers. This is not only baffling but the trace of claiming propaganda started to buried deep into new Cambodia generations. In many scenarios it gets to the extent that young Cambodian became very defensive characteristically when such topics on the subject matter surfaced.
Visiting Angkor temple thirty six years ago is not thing of the same in experience you’ll get today. No video footage, no history talked whether it was created and owned by the Hindu or the site was under Siam or Thailand assets until the French took over or older religious monuments similar to this existing in many Southeast Asia and many more prohibited rules put on just for a simple discussion.
Today as standing - economy oppression colonialism under the new Chinese invasion investment have also left Cambodia with very little essence of who they truly are and possibly become economically powerless as a country. Although, it isn’t all the French fault in destroying What we known as indochina, however, We will most likely see the turning point of Cambodia within a coming decades.

For now = The only group who might suit Cambodia is backpackers who have more time on their hand to travel around. We enjoyed listening to your content and valued your information honesty on the important poverty fact about Cambodia.
This will help in shading the light on expectations level for those new comers when visiting. For many, child Abused, depressing history, unhygienic and high tourism scammers happening right before their eyes is somewhat…emotionally hard to digest. Experiencing Cambodia is more of an education exploration rather than a treasure of beautiful holiday journey memoir.

I disagree with you on friendliness. Cambodian are as friendly as any of the SE Asian. Just as Canadians are.

[jonathanwaagstein]

1:33 I think you made a small mistake. You say that Cambodia was organized as a colony for 150 years when in fact it was only a colony for little over 90 years, between 1863-1953.

[heinerpetersen]

Thanks for informative video. But there is no such thing as a two day Angkor ticket, as far as I know. You can buy one for 1, 3 or 7 days.

[heythave]

You should redo your thumbnail picture. It’s very disrespectful to be standing on top of a monk like that. Cambodians revere the monks.

[GhulamRasool_]

❤❤❤really thankyou for such useful guide.

[whitewalker]

Do you need some kind of license to a scooter?

What country should I make a guide for next?

[Gingermarie]

Hi, 🐥🐦🐥🐦🦩🦩May I share the most important news you will ever hear? God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus Christ(Y'shua Ha' Mashiach) from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. He was put into a tomb for 3 days, and then Abba Father raised Jesus to life and He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must all sincerely receive Jesus to be a true child of God. It says in John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Will you genuinely believe on Christ Jesus and truly receive Him today, before it is too late?

[coreana.aesthetics]

Hey your content is amazing and well made. You must have done in depth research + personal experience.

[rorngsorn]

How long were you visiting Cambodia or learned about the history of Cambodia? You have some valid points but many points are misleading. Pick pocket, or bag grabbing is happening in many cities of developing countries. And you can compare an orange or an apple. Genocide didn’t just happened in the 70s. You didn’t mention the United States war in Southeast Asia, and the secret bombing in Cambodia for years that killed hundreds of thousands, destroyed and destabilized the country that led it into the communist that killed most educated people. And you didn’t mention the invasion of the Vietcong in the late 70s also killed hundreds of thousands of Cambodians and millions displaced internally and hundreds of thousands became refugees.

[brandonmanuel]

I noticed they have Buddha on their currency. If there was a picture of Jesus on US currency it would cause outrage to Muslims and atheists.

[chuckletom]

This is probably the most inaccurate travel advice I’ve ever seen. Mostly, not all, is not true and misleading.

4:29 Khmer empire don't existed. where yr using map came from? Please use world history. All fake information.
