Love SR… thanks for sharing 🎉

Thanks for the new update for 2025. Happy Happy New Year 🎈🎆🎊

The Cambodian Government really need to change the name to 'Arrival document'. I see alot of confusión on Facebook and internet concerning the latter e-document.

Can your address be a hotel?

Hopefully I will want to retire there also

I plan to come to Cambodia around October 2025 or November 2025

Thank you for this information. Looking forward to returning to the Kingdom of Wonder

Excellent information thank you so much

Hello everyone! Here's what you need to know to retire in Cambodia in 2025. Donate: www.paypal.me/daveinthailand or www.ko-fi.com/ddcambodia

Immigration officers are racist don't go there. Better go Vietnam, Thailand or Japan I had always heard that Cambodian people are kind and welcoming. However, my experience with Cambodia's immigration officers was the opposite. Unfortunately, they displayed blatant racism and discrimination. Despite warnings from friends, I decided to visit Cambodia and was shocked when I was denied entry and sent back to my country. I had everything prepared: a paid round-trip flight, a two-week hotel reservation worth $1,000, pre-booked transportation, over $2,000 in cash, and a credit card for extra expenses. I even had an approved eVisa. Despite meeting all the requirements, the immigration officers refused me entry and sent me back without providing a valid explanation. My advice to travelers, especially those with darker skin tones-whether African, Indian, Muslim, or otherwise-is to avoid Cambodia. Spend your money in countries like Thailand, Malaysia, or Vietnam, where the people and immigration officers are far more respectful and civilized. Cambodia’s immigration process is not only frustrating but also humiliating. After being denied entry to Cambodia, I was sent to Malaysia, where the immigration officers treated me kindly and professionally. I stayed there for two weeks, then spent another two weeks in Vietnam, and finally 30 days in Thailand. In all these countries, the immigration procedures were smooth and respectful. They simply checked my passport, flight tickets, and hotel bookings without unnecessary questioning or hostility. The Cambodian immigration process, however, felt like being interrogated in a CIA bureau. The officers yelled, asked nonsensical questions, and treated me with complete disrespect. It was deeply disheartening. If Cambodia continues this behavior, travelers worldwide will eventually choose other destinations like Vietnam and Thailand, which offer a far more pleasant experience. The most disappointing part was their apparent incompetence. The officers couldn’t pronounce my name, misidentified my country of origin, and laughed among themselves during the questioning. One officer said, “No, go back,” without providing a clear reason. When I asked why, they shouted at me. I was ultimately put on a plane and deported to Malaysia. In conclusion, the Cambodian immigration officers either lack proper training or basic education. They pretended to read my documents but couldn’t even understand simple details like my itinerary or approved eVisa. It was shocking to witness such unprofessionalism. If you’re planning a vacation, choose countries with educated and respectful immigration officers. Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, and Japan are all excellent options. Avoid Cambodia if you want to avoid discrimination and unnecessary stress. My experience there left me disgusted and disheartened.

I love Cambodia 🇰🇭 It’s true I build a house there for only 20 thousand Two bedroom 2 bathroom with A/C I go back every year

Awesome thanks 👍

I don't know what, I like the most. Your videos or your voice. I'll order a book to help you. Thx.

Hello Dave, hope the new years is treating you well ! Just landed here today, trying to contact you...let's have a beverage of your choice and fill me in on your adventures!

Is there any way I can have my phone with my same phone number here because I have to do my banking still for the US how can I navigate that and don't have to keep my carrier plan here in America

Hey, I'll be there next month. I'm figuring out where I should stay: Phnom Penh or Siem Reap. What do you suggest?

I'm definitely hoping to move to Cambodia this year. My house needs to sell, first, but I'm hoping it will sell early this year! 🙂 I can't wait to get there, and see the country and people, in person! Thanks for the videos! Have a wonderful day!

I don’t think I heard you say kumEye - not sure. - but if you dint say it ; thank you 🙏

Happy New Year ! I will be there in 2028 when I retire 😊

Dave, you're just a "Rambling Man" !!!

Happy New Year, Dave! Got an interesting question - because you live in such a hot climate, do you ever come across snakes anywhere (especially venous ones)? I know mosquitoes are common, but are there any creatures that newbies to Cambodia should keep an eye out for? Anything that gets inside apartments from time to time?

Thanks for sharing Dave

Can you stop whining for donations? It's tiresome.

Happiest Healthiest Safest New Year. Great wealth to you and Sieng Lai. 🙏👍👏🎈❤️💪😻😎🇰🇭

Happy New Year Dave 🍾

Hey Dave, my how time goes by. This must be the third year I've been subscribed to your channel Have a great new year !! King Diamond says no presents for Xmas 🤟🤟🤟😂😂 Cheers 🍻 🍻🍻

Perhaps -- Dave -- I hope to have sold all my stuff & got ready to move by Sept / Oct 2025. Arrival in S R is my only goal. Plan to stay as long as I can tolerate the heat ? --- The Philippines offers me a cooler area @ 2,000 above sea level & temps year round from 86 hi in summer & 66 low in winter ! An hour S of Manila Airport. Cost of living is a bit higher there than in S R. --- Hope to make it over there & look forward to meeting many of you already there making videos. 🤗 Have a few beers & get acquainted. 👍❤🙏✌🤞🎯🍻

Happy New Year 🎉

Happy most Beautiful and Safe New Year 🎉great fireworks 🎈👍🎇

Happiest Hopeful and most Prosperous New Year… Beautiful city for a great party…🎈🎈🎈

Very beautiful fireworks 🧨 🎇 🎆 Happy Healthy Healing New Year

Greetings, Dave, and Happy New Year to you, sir! I appreciate your channel and the content that you provide. I plan on visiting Cambodia in 2025 with the interest of perhaps retiring there in a few years. While enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, I was stationed in Okinawa, Japan in the mid 1980s. During which time in southeast Asia I had the opportunity to visit the Philippines as well as South Korea. I absolutely love this area of the world. I was born and grew up in New Jersey, however my mom and dad are both from the Myrtle Beach area of South Carolina. Dave, when I do make my arrangements to visit Cambodia, particularly Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. I will give you a heads up, it would be indeed a pleasure to have the opportunity to meet you. In closing I would like to say that I will make it my business to provide you with a financial contribution on this Thursday. Take care sir, and keep up the good work 👍

Great 👍 for SR… it knows how to party 🎈

Happy New Year 🎈🎊🎆 wow great event … 🎊🎉🚗 thanks for sharing

Dave, I'm loving your videos. I'm planning to move to Cambodia in July. (Either PP or SR - TBD) My question might be a bit out of your wheelhouse, but I'll ask anyway - what are your observations and thoughts about the live music and entertainment in SR, NOT including karaoke or lady bars. How much live music is there? Does that scene appear to be static, growing or shrinking? Thx in advance.

Where da ladyboi bar? ❤🎉

We can only guess what shenanigans these types are up to behind close doors in the dead of night in some remote Nakhon Gary Glitter.

Sounds like a big pain.

This is probably out of your wheelhouse, but what are your observations on the live music and entertainment scene (not the karaoke joints and Lady bars)?

Sok san road... great road if you're single... 😂

Hi Dave, really enjoy your posts and would love to buy your books but can’t find how to purchase from the shop online. Any ideas for me? Planning on a visit to Siam Reap mid 2025, would like to share a beer with you? Cheers Walter

Good story teller 😂 Beside that I suggest if you add one local event or strange story 😊

Thanks Dave always love a stroll 🚶 🚶🚶🚶is there any place that plays rock or metal ??? 🤟🤟

Merry Christmas.. Would Dave tell me a nice hotel and not expensive with in a walking distance of pub street and market .. I am coming in March and staying in less than a month to explore retirement in Cambodia..please advise.. and thank you

Saving this one for when i visit in March (first time visit as I seek a retirement spot) because Pub Street sounds a lot like Khao San Rd in Bangkok. I was never more miserable than when I walked through there.

Haven’t been there since 2017. Except for Pub Street…it looks like it’s changed a lot. Sok San Road is growing up for sure. And looks like the TEMPLE group is expanding business. TEMPLE is everywhere. Thank you Dave. I have to come back soon. And this time stay ! Canada is going downhill fast now. Namo Buddhaya 🙏🏼 🇰🇭 🇹🇭 🇱🇦 🇱🇰 ☸️ 👍🏼 👏🏼 🌴 🌴 🌴 ✈️ 😃 All the best of the season to you and yours..
