Cycling Cambodia - A Land of Contrasts! // A Bike Touring Short Film // Part 36 - Cambodia

[@heinerpetersen6778]

Don't know if you are still in Cambodia. If so enjoy every minute in this beautiful country and it's lovely people. We are back in Germany for 4 weeks now and I miss it all. What keeps me going is the chance for another trip next winter. Thanks for your video we all can enjoy!

Hallo Heiner, Spontan zu deinen Zeilen viel mir ein Das Glück liegt in der Ferne und die Ferne ist niemals da wo man sich gerade befindet Ich meine ja der Mensch sollte nicht oder nur zur absolutenAusnahme den Globus einfach mal teilweise umrunden um was anderes zu sehen. Glaube das ist zu viel vG Bernhard

[@heinerpetersen6778]

@@Bernhard20Zoll oder wie Wilhelm Busch sagte: schön ist es auch anderswo, denn hier bin ich sowieso... Ich weiss natürlich was du meinst. Aber jetzt kommt die persönliche Lebensgeschichte dazu und als verhinderter Auswanderer bleibt mir halt das Fernweh erhalten. Beste Grüsse, Heiner

[@Bernhard20Zoll]

@@heinerpetersen6778 Aus persönlicher Erfahrung sage ich. Unzufrieden bin ich wenn ich mir mehr erwartet hätte. Konkret. Ich fahre sehr gerne Fahrrad und fahre hier als Rentner täglich einen Rundkurs. In Jahr komme ichso auf 20 000 km. Die Strecke ist sehr schön aber ich könnte mir auch sagen es ist zu langweilig. Nun was ist langsweilig. Natürlich ist die Runde nicht so außergewöhnlich wie diese Staubstraße, Ich habe vor 40 Jahren schon alleine alleine Radreisen in fastalle Länder des damaigen Europas gemacht. Weiß also wie es sich anfühlt fremdes zu erleben (So bin ich auf meiner Fahrt nach Schottland ganze 1 Radreisenden begendet. War schon eine sehr exclusive Angelegenheit) . Ich habe un den letzten Jahren erfahren dass ich glücklich sein kann wenn ich das schöne was ich erlebe in mir booste. Mein Gefühl aufschäumen lasse. Denke dass diese Runde heute ist so schön, schöner gehts nicht. Und das m^fühle ich dann auch so. Sicher gibt es auchTage da ist es einfach nur draußen sein. Das ist aber auf einer Reise auchso. Ich will damit sagen, mit einer inneren bereitschaft das Gefühl zuzulassen das es gerade schön ist, wenn es schön ist, ist es mir möglich eine Runde auch nach dem 400 sten mal total schön zu empfinden. Das minte ich mit Ferne glück und Ferne ist nie da wo man sich gerade befindet. Ich glaube Glück ist nicht an Ferne gekoppelt. Ein ganz anderer Aspekt ist Umwelt ... Noch ein anderer ist, dass ich, wenn ich Reise eigentlich nur bestaune was da ist, was andere machen, wie andere das machen. Interessant ja aber es kann auchsher interessant sein selbst zu machen. Dann könnenandere von weit her reisen um zu staunen was ich mache und ich erfreue mich daran ihnen neue Möglichkeiten auf zu zeigen. Ich hoffe sie wissen wie ich das meine. vG Bernhard

Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures of Angkor Wat.❤

[@joseflemire4284]

This brought back memories...I cycled through all of SE Asia and up through China to Tibet...before cell phones or any of this communication. I took no pictures...I was just living in the moment...but some of these scenes I recognize. I had some amazing interactions with people as I was there shortly after it had opened up to visitors. Kids would run out of schools to see me, and other beautiful interactions. I might have been one of the first Westerners to cycle through Cambodia after the the Khmer Rouge.

[@Bikepacking_sa]

Thanks for taking us along. What a beautiful world we live in💚😎

[@scoutjohnson1803]

When I first visited Cambodia 20 years ago there were only two sealed roads outside Phnom Penh. We travelled on both.

Welcome to Cambodia you two amazing enjoy be safe thanks

[@cdg-hzg]

What wonderful ambassadors you both are for Germany. Every episode you post brings further wonders and more exciting adventures. I enjoy them immensely and look forward to the next.

[@louisaandtobi]

Thank you! :)

[@FreeVeri2112]

Great video again, thanks for taking us with you across Cambodia. 🤩 What happened with all your luggage on your bikes during the first 2 years of your trip? How does lightweight travelling feel? Wish you a safe and sound onward journey 🚲

[@nonesuche]

Thank you for an excellent produced video. You share your experiences with a tender touch.

[@Wheresdools]

Great video guys….. a real mix. Keep safe and keep smiling 😊

[@Rino-bicycle]

8 Hours of boat is nice, and it gives you a chance to see how people live along the river.

[@Mariteach777]

Really nice video. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@chiontieu6979]

I can't believe you cycled up Phnom Kulen! The van i took up there struggled a few times! Great ride, something i want to do some day and good job on your pronunciations too.

[@cambodiyeah1]

This is a magnificent journey. I lived in Siem Reap a few years ago and fell in love with Cambodia. I'm moving back next year and can't wait. I look forward to seeing many of these places in person.

[@ratana_music]

Glad I found this channel. Really enjoyed the video. Instant sub! ❤️👍

[@daravysovan9589]

[@tanwei1931]

Amazing filming, amazing footages and nice background music, incredible you two did all these in addition to cycling and planning of the route and whatnot!

[@muenmedia4458]

Hello Louisa & Tobi Enjoy your wonderful adventure in Cambodia 🇰🇭. Thank you for coming explore these beautiful country . Welcome back again to Kindom of wonder,

[@shuttle461]

I liked the video. Got to know a little bit of Cambodia through you! The elephants look tender and God! How brave you are just standing at the very edge of that cliff! Uff! I wouldn't do that!

[@DameEdnaBrown]

What a great experience

[@polaroidandvans]

Your videos always capture the essence, experience and feeling of the countries you visit. I love it.

[@tonydownunder5703]

The waterfall footage in this video is a Oscar win 🏆 You nailed it guys 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@louisaandtobi]

Thanks! :)

[@fredricgriffin6070]

I actually waved back @ the children on the riverside:) Great film (video) making that reaches into the interactive realm!

[@pke1977]

Great video, guys! We were in Siem Reap around Christmas. We almost had the chance to meet you in Angkor! Take care and enjoy your trip!

[@Sailing_JP]

Another great video guys, loved the music and the slow motion effects. Noted you both are travelling much lighter than before. Congrats for that. Maybe you can explain the downsizing strategy on your next video. Beautiful country and scenery. I been in Thailand few years ago and Vietnam recently. The sweetest and friendlier people in the world on all the region. Keep it up the good work.

[@louisaandtobi]

We talk a little bit about the downsizing and repacking in our "Western Australia Docu", but we pretty much just got rid of a few things here and there, and replaced some gear with a little bit lighter gear. :)

[@naturallife9923]

Thank you so much welcome to Cambodia 🇰🇭🇰🇭 🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🥰😍🙏🙏🙏💐🌹🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@outtatrex]

So cool to see you cycling through Cambodia. Anghor Wat is so impressive, I visited it for 1 day in 2014, but I regret to not visit another day, because there is so much to see. Happy cycling ! I hope you can go to Vietnam too, delicious food. ( to be honest, I was not impressed with the food in Cambodia).

[@beatweber7480]

Ihr macht tolle Videos, grosses Kompliment❤😊

[@StrokestoSpokes-BicyclingWorld]

Great video! Even though I live in Cambodia I love seeing the country from the viewpoint of other people.

[@asteria4279]

I cant believe you didnt put masks or at least a buff over your mouths on that road! All that stuff on your clothes was also going in your lungs... 😮

[@evertongregorini8031]

Muito obrigado por compartilhar essa viajem ao Cambodia, sou do Brasil

[@liamahern8527]

Beautiful video as always. Thank you 🙏

[@porchheu1137]

It is a great video, thanks for sharing.

[@Bernhard20Zoll]

Hello Louisa & Tobi Thank you for this beautiful and informative video. Somehow I thought the people in the East weren't as bloodthirsty as us and it had something to do with their faith and that they eat a lot of fish... But it was nothing In many cycling tour videos you can see that you often have to ride on busy roads. I wouldn't be in the mood for something like that. I'd rather continue driving along my dirt roads here. But the route through northern Cambodia...that would really excite me. Thank you & best regards Bernard

[@francoromano3993]

Saludos desde Venezuela, que bonita experiencia estar on eso elefantes, y ver esos monumetos arqueologicos. Fantasticos. Exito Tschuss

Beautiful.

[@sharkmentality9717]

Fantastic!

[@RobLittleuk]

We have caught up - you guys are amazing ! Question - did you take masks to protect you from the dust? Ok I know you didn’t have them here but they may have helped? Ok, after the event, duh sorry 😂

[@elvisstar5813]

I hope you are come back to Australia! and this time bike around Tasmania!

Welcome to Cambodia ❤

[@KhmerGSM]

Welcome to Cambodia

[@arcoulant87]

Great video .

[@JusticeSR71]

A fascinating country which I was fortunate to visit. Friendly people with a tragic past. 21% of the population (Men, women, children and babies) were either murdered in a most grotesque and brutal way, others were starved to death by the Khmer Rouge. Children were armed and used by the Khmer Communists to murder at will....not called the "killing fields" for nothing.

[@Mike-x2r7d]

Crazy, lol. Your guyses catch frase, another great vid thanks

Well done mikong is over 😅 enjoy the trip ferther!😊

Interesting post as country has an extraordinary history of occupation by Thais,thenFrench,then Pol Pot attrocities yet people are still charming.Our kids were mobbed by kids when we visited Angkhor wat because they had blonde hair.A charming country😊

[@jimspies2775]

A Holiday in Cambodia! It's tough kid, but it's life....

[@Sean85Laney]

That flip and flop of which direction you're suppose to travel is very confusing and stressful especially when you think you're right and you're wrong with traffic heading your way.

[@JimnyKh-99]

Just a quick question Tobi. Are you the German guy I met in Girona, Spain about ten years ago?

[@TanNguyen-bt8je]

Xin chào những người bạn

[@Cookboy3857]

Wow nice lodi take care

[@johndee68]

Are you able to put up a link, if you bought it online. To where you got the hat you are wearing at 1min45sec. I'm trying to find something similar.

[@louisaandtobi]

We found those hats at a small street store in Peru somewhere, so unfortunately we don't have a link. But if you google something like "cap with neck shade" you should be able to find something.

[@elachichai]

What kind of shirts and trousers do you wear for cycling? Amazon link?

[@Rainsy4385]

🎉❤

[@SOUVICHEYVlog]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@BelloBelvedere]

Sometimes you go for a short trip (like Louise & Tobi themselves said) , but look at them now... , they don't want to go back to Germany and they are right. The world is so beautiful compear with Germany's bad weather 😮 , keep going I will follow you watching your nice video's😅

Nice to see your Travel on bike video again. Was waiting your cycling video in India too, wonder why not uploaded.

[@louisaandtobi]

We didn't cycle in India, we only traveled around there by train.

[@Rino-bicycle]

have you done a review about clothing, what worked and what didn't ?

[@seanbeaudreault3198]

Hi Louisa and Tobi. I am really enjoying your adventure. I am so sorry that you had to ditch the guitar. Look up the Martin backpacker guitar. this guitar might be easier to ride with.

[@luongden242]

welcome to my vietnam ❤

[@Bikepacking]

Did you arrive in south Vietnam yet

[@asbjrnbraanaas2110]

Not to forget: «From October 1965 to August 1973, the United States dropped at least 2,756,941 tons of ordnance over Cambodia, a country roughly the size of the US state of Missouri. That’s more than the Allies dropped during World War II, according to an account by Yale University historian Ben Kiernan.» This was the war criminel Henry Kissinger - USA

[@Bikepacking]

Did you make it to Vietnam if you get as far as Nha Trang you got a place to crash

[@mathieutallard6328]

The dust was hard on my bike chains and bearings, i rremember and driving the capital was fun. experience. Was in Cambodia 2 months without fucking stupid and ridiculous helmet !!

[@Cycle-Tourer]

Cambodia and Laos are probably the worst countries I have ever cycled . I have cycled one month each country (2012), Laos was visited before Cambodia.. The poverty and the corruption at these countries are same standards as in Africa. Horrible, Disaster... I simply didn't enjoy all the way in these countries....
