[@Nathanyork361]

As a local at one point, move to the USA, and visited there earlier this year 2023. Cambodia has come a long way and I believe we have enough tourist, modernization, unique cultural experiences for any regular tourists now. The problem is, people forget that Cambodia is still recover from civil war and some foreigner like to compare us to our neighbor Thailand. We have a unique charm compare to Thailand! And don’t forget, to visit Laos as well! SEA asia are so rich in culture and food!

[@mamafoodlivelaughlove9746]

Yes. If we did not have to go trough the 70' we of cause not this behind, so really cant compare us to other countries, remember we had to start from scratch after all educated people got killed. I would say no where is perfect, it's all up to you how you want to live, where you go, you need to have an awareness of your surroundings, from my bad experiences avoid going out late and being a lone at night at the quiet places, I got robbed in different country too so this my message to you out there doesn't mater where you're you should be alert. Sometimes we just happens to be at the right time in the wrong spot also because I didn't watch my back!

I love this video which shows the perspective of foreigner traveling and living in Cambodia. It seems they had unpleasant experience with thief, road, and obviously how Cambodia is developing rapidly and the once good place for western tourism are long gone such as Shihanouk Vile, and yet they still enjoy our food, culture, people and accept the imperfection of Cambodia. Thanks so much for this video. Once again, Cambodia may share the same culture with Thailand but it is very different in almost every ways. So don't come to Cambodia while expecting the same experience as Thailand. Edited: The old man with white hair is so funny and blunt, I like his attitude.

[@Chai_Travel]

Aw you're welcome! Thanks for showing your appreciation 😃

[@illeehm9479]

I really appreciate how you try to show a lot of good tourist spots of Cambodia. My message to all foreigners is that never trust anything as long as you never see it by your own eyes so yeah, visit Cambodia once. Actually, nowhere is the safest place; you need to be careful on your own (I feel too much pressure when I went to Paris). It is true that Cambodia media is still weak unlike the neighboring countries so we cannot spread out some true facts of Cambodia to all around the world. Some people never come to Cambodia yet they already assume what Cambodia is like from the media or anything else about the negative sides of Cambodia.

Cambodia should return the money that Thailand has raised and helped them. In the internal war that took place The current value is 12 billion dollars. That's money Thailand lost to take care of 3 million Cambodians in 28 immigration centers for 4-8 years. The United Nations has never paid money to Thailand. Only a small amount of food was sent to help. Cambodia is the most disgusting country.

[@andrewgibbs7279]

Cambodia was my favourite South East Asian country. I've not been back since early 2018. I loved Sihanoukville and Seam Reap (esp Angkor Wat), but they've both changed a lot recently, esp Sihanoukville which I think has been totally over developed for the benefit of Chinese business men. Kamot I believe still has some of the charm it had 10+ years ago, but I guess like most places, it's changing and the high rise buildings are creeping in. Still, I'm guessing the general Cambodian hasn't changed massively, which is great as I always found Cambodians to be outwardly happy and friendly people. Hopefully I will be back in the not too distant future

I visited Cambodia around 4 years ago. I remember enjoying how laid back and relaxed the overall atmosphere was and i was intrigued by the culture, having previously travelled to Thailand and Vietnam already and wanting to see the differences. Nice people, good weather, good flow of life. I even considered working there for a year or two, but other things planned out instead. Recommend a visit to anyone reading this.

[@Chai_Travel]

Nice one mate :) I fully agree. I can’t wait to get back 😃 cheers

[@wendylim1936]

I disagree. It was not laidback in any way. I encountered many unhelpful, ugly and rude encounters, extreme pushiness and even hostility. Not a culture for one to seek a (permanent) new life. I went there many times looking for my British husband (whom I still hope for a reunion with him) but realised the futility of even restarting a new life alone there. I hope Mark see this post and realised it was a huge mistake for us to venture to Cambodia to start a new life and that Cambodia is only suitable for a stopover.

I think it all depends on your preference, not everything will meet everyone needs. I don't understand why people created a negative about Cambodia, maybe Cambodia people are too traditional, they can't accommodate the tourists accomodations. Khmer people came a long way to rebuild a country less than 35 years or less, looks how the economy grows so fast. I don't think it's fair to compare with Thailand or Vietnamese country. These two country were ahead whereas Cambodia is starting from zero. Just be greatful, happy and bless if you can afford to travel 👍👍👍👍👍👍

I've been to Cambodia over the years for extended periods, backpacking. These travellers haven't experienced Sihanoukville before, or how Phnom Penh used to be like. It's changed a lot in these aspects. Sihanoukville was the best thing about Cambodia. Now it's gone. Kampot is no way ever gonna replace it, nor Kep. The older guy basically is saying the rest of my thoughts. The people are so friendly, and Phnom Penh has some great Khmer food, and Chinese restaurants. Cambodia is still a great Country with that Wild West vibe, just not as. untouched as it once was. Those who said Thailand is too Touristy went to the touristy areas. Whilst most of Thailand is developed, Thai only places are still abundant in the North. Thailand is still amazing. And Thailand can still offer that amazing SEAsia experience, you just need to go to the right areas. Don't miss Vietnam or Laos, or Myanmar. Cheers.

Thanks for the tip on the dental hospital. Roomchang Dental Hospital. I might go there for a cleaning.

[@jejudo3000]

Cambrodia just perfect for you my boy 🇰🇭

[@RetiredGlobalLife]

Man, Chai, you are exploring every country lately. Thanks for the info on Cambodia. It's already on my "check it out list." Hey, if it is helpful, I"m no expert on subtitles, but yours are coming up as grey on a black background rather than white, so they are quite hard to read. I don't use them but until I turn them off, they pop on automatically, but if I used them, they'd be hard to read. So just an FYI if helpful. I always enjoy your Man on the Street conversations. Take care!

[@Chai_Travel]

Thanks! This is very useful:) on what device are you watching it and are you watching it from the app or on the website?

[@RetiredGlobalLife]

@@Chai_Travel I could not remember if I was on my Mac laptop or the app on my phone, and whether on Chrome or Safari, so I went back and checked them all and none of them had the dark grey text. So either it was a fluke thing or you fixed something. I just thought I should mention it but maybe I should just keep my mouth shut, 555, and not alarm you for nothing. I saw you had huge views for one of your recent vlogs. Congrats! Happy to see that for you. Very deserved.

Thank you for coming ❤🙏

Negative comment are only heard form Thai people.becus Cambodia and Thai doesn't come along and thank for visiting my country

[@onmywayto974]

I was wondering the same thing. Although I agree with you and I was guessing the same. It's sad because there are some good Thai people too, but there are always a lot of negative comments coming from that way. Especially when there's a video talking positively about Cambodian cultures and arts. I think people are beginning to see it.

Wonderful place, wonderful people - thinking of heading back out there and living for a year

[@americaninthailand8760]

Ok California dude- maybe that hairstyle is part of your problem with American ladies and their lack of " expressing love" for you.🤣🤣🤣 A fun bunch today Champ! Loved it!

[@Chai_Travel]

:p aw man! Good on him he found a place where he feels love from the ladies :) thanks for watching again 🤩 have a rest of the day 😊

[@barbarastanwyck4288]

lol i watched a video recently from A Dose of Cath deconstructing the extremely low standards cambodian women are taught for men. dude finally found his dating pool.

[@heythave]

He’s probably a nice guy even with the hair bun and all. Maybe his looks is less important to them than the kind of person he is.

[@alkebabish]

I live in Kampot, I have been coming to Cambodia for 10 years and I think it is the most friendly and magical place in the world.

[@Chai_Travel]

Nice one mate 😃 I’m glad you experience it like that. Thanks for watching

[@oni_anii]

Wait, Is that Kampot? Dude that's literally my grandma's hometown!

[@Chai_Travel]

It is :)

[@LG-lb7sf]

@3:08 when the guy says, "it was better for the barangs", I'm pretty sure he means the French, though he does not pronounce it like we do. Barang is Khmer for the French.

[@Chai_Travel]

Thanks for the lesson 🙂

[@spicysalsaking791]

He means western foreigners in general, typically but not always white foreigners/white-majority-country foreigners. I'm also assuming he means in terms of things like wages and cost of living.

[@LG-lb7sf]

@@spicysalsaking791 "Borotheh(s)" or បរទេស in Khmer means foreigner. The term "Barang" or ជនជាតិបារាំង means French. If a non-Khmer uses Barang in the context you're suggesting, it is misused and was misinterpreted. Since it was the French that were mainly present during the pre-Khmer Rouge era, it was likely a generalized, umbrella term. However, to use more concise language, we say "borotheh(s)" for foreigner and "Barang" for French. I study language and am also Cambodian.

[@onmywayto974]

​@@LG-lb7sfYes, I was taught that Barang was meant for French, but nowadays it's used more for foreigners, mainly white skinned foreigners.

[@LG-lb7sf]

@@onmywayto974 Ouch, doesn't feel politically correct even with this very localized meaning attached, derived likely from colonial reign of the French. I would just use the proper word for foreigners which is "បរទេស" (bartes, pronounced "bara-teh" ).

[@wiriamurequiem5124]

Most of the negative comments on Cambodia are their Neighbouring countries. But once again, it's understandable. Don't believe of what you read on Internet. Cambodia has rich and one of the oldest culture in the world. their history still well preserved to these days. I felt like I was back in Medieval time during my visit to those temples. How fascinating that human can built such a wonder.

[@mylifethaidiy7045]

I'm so glad that the one guy said the dating scene is good. I have heard so much negative stuff about the dating scene and that really worried me. It's a pretty lonely life without a good woman to share it with.

[@redneckson]

women are great, they give us the best gift in life which is a family.

Far east asia is developing very fast

[@DonRoberts-zy1kt]

Asia has already peaked and slowing. Cambodia is one of the last fast growing economies in Asia. Africa is quickly overtaking them in terms of growth rate.

[@panhawong]

both a positive and negative aspect can be found in every countries, welcome to cambodia

[@Worldtradencentre]

As a fellow Cambodian robbings are quite rare since they mostly go for foreigners and people in crowds so i recommend you get those pants with a built in zipper for your pockets (this is not a negatice comment but more a tip for safe travels anyways bonne voyage)

[@Chai_Travel]

I love it! Thanks for your tip. Whenever O talk about pickpockets I never mean to scare anyone away and make people just aware of the fact that there are some around. Cambodia is overall very safe and only in a very small number of areas it’s more common. I love Cambodia and its people and hopefully I’m able to visit soon again 😊

[@Julian-bach]

Hey Chai! Bro what a pleasure to meet you here, outside golden noura villa for .50 beers . Hope you remember me :) bro, you interviewed the German girl, she's a friend of mine, so funny. You made a lot of videos here too, very grateful for your work man, for real. I wish we could stay in touch somehow, maybe you could launch a website or discord to connect your followers and folks you have met. You're asking great questions and encouraging people to analyze what is happening at that moment and it's really great. See you around man!

[@Chai_Travel]

Yo mate! Sure I do remember you. Don't be silly ;P I'm looking at making a website already for a long time now. It's about time to actually have one. It also just looks more professional. You always can comment under a video to reach out, e-mail, or via Insta; Chai_Travel_Pics
