As a Cambodian, I am grateful for your random interviews to witness the reality of Cambodia, which was generally misunderstood. The interviews will surely pave ways to attract more tourists to come and reclaim the positive images of Cambodia. I have no objections that Cambodia is not 100% safe for all, not only the visitors, so do the other countries. This is a fact, but some people have held a negative view reported by some extremists

[@Chai_Travel]

Thanks for your comment :) it’s had to not like Cambodia ❤️ I hope this video helps others to make the choice to come and visit Cambodia

[@Swampzoid]

I will visit Cambodia someday and I know that I will love it. 😍 The more I hear negative things about a place the more I want to find the positive things about it. 😃

[@Chai_Travel]

Haha I’m sure too! Man, I really try to show you how Cambodia is via a series of videos. The only way to really feel it is to come over some day 😃 come on over 🏆enjoy your weekend

Hey hey hey Chai my man! Very very thoughtful of you to plug our restaurant BAR ANG. Dude, but most importantly thank you for your time and effort to help dispel any negative thoughts especially from those that have never even been here. We all come here and some, like myself stay, because of the people and they most certainly deserve a chance at a much better life thanks to tourism and it's trickle down effect. Good style bro. Dam you Dutch are cool. So worldly and easy going from all that we've meet at our restaurant. Thank you so much Chai and I hope our paths will cross again soon. Warmest regards from Anut and John.

[@keith4826]

After 2 years in the Philippines 🇵🇭 I just now came to Cambodia for 2 weeks. Siem Reap is a really nice place. I don’t mind the touristy places so much because they also tend to be very walkable. Angkor Wat and the surrounding temples are a bucket list trip. How ever I went to see Koh Ker Temple in the north and I think it was so much better than the Angkor Wat. Less crowded and more local people. Lyong Yong Transportation is a local driver and was awesome. A cooler full of cold water and cool towels to help with the heat. Koh Ker is a pyramid very similar to the Mayan Pyramids in the west. The Khmer people are very friendly. The food is awesome and the country is very cost effective for vacations or longer stays. I could easily live here. Overall safety is good. Just do the normal things. Keep your cross body bag close. Keep your eyes open. Keep your things secure. Safe travels 🙏🏻

[@Chai_Travel]

Thank you so much :) that’s very helpful. Have a great day and hopefully we stay in touch

[@gooblio]

I've lived in Cambodia for about 20 years and your video is pretty accurate about the country. I think the best part is the people too. I didn't hear that much about Sihanouk ville, which use to be the best place years ago to visit, but now it's meh. And most tourists prefer Kampot now, but if you're in Sihanouk ville go to Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem Islands. ❤

[@Chai_Travel]

I appreciate that thanks. Good advice too!

To all the tourists out there in the world, please do not listen/believe to the unreasonable negative comments and feedbacks about Cambodia when you haven't been in Cambodia even once. If you want to find out the truth, just come to Cambodia then you'll know that it's true or not. Some people are just hating Cambodia, and tryna warn the tourist not to come to Cambodia and that's such an unacceptable act. Just come here and find the real answer. Thanks Chai, you're the best. 👍🏻💗

[@Chai_Travel]

Aw thanks mate 😁

It’s sad and unfortunate that the negative comments are actually coming from neighbouring Asian states. Cambodia reputation is partially damaged by the words of its neighbours.

Battambang is my homeland… the rice fields there can feed the whole country, it’s a beautiful place. There are so many places to discover and visit and learn about at Battambang, it have their own special food that cannot be found anywhere in Cambodia.

[@Chai_Travel]

It’s a nice place to be :) very hot at the moment though 😅

[@J_River]

@@Chai_Travel yeah, this year Cambodia is extremely hot because the corrupt government keep on cutting the forests and destroying the mountains for money. So now the people is suffering from the extreme hot climate that Khmer people never experienced before. I feel sorry for poor people in my country because they don’t have aircon to keep them cool 😔

Thanks, Chai. You get around, man! A new country every few videos. 🙂 I admit I have never hear of Battambang so it was interesting to hear about a new city in Cambodia. No surprise about how people feel about good safety. That seems so common in SE Asia compared to the USA. I knew Cambodia used US currency but I didn't know that English was so widely spoken from what one of your guests said. So you are now an educational channel, 555.

[@wileyumstead9236]

I am living in Battambang and have lived here for 10 years. Right now the streets are a mess. Dirt roads and dust everywhere. This is not normal Battambang. The city is doing an expansion of drainage for the rainy season and at the same time a sewer system. Please if you come here remember this is a major upgrade and for the moment many roads are dirt and possibly being worked on. This is all only temporary. Out of my 10 years of being here this is the only time I have seen the roads as dirt. Mostly cement or black top. This is the safest city in the world! Boring family safe city and very safe. I mostly think of this as a city of education. Many good schools/universities. Come to Battambang, relax for a while then back into the helter skelter of vacation.
