🇰🇭 Angkor Wat? No thanks! (I Did Something Else) 😮🇰🇭 | Solo Travel | Siem Reap Travel Vlog (Ep. 7)

[@Yuaaaur]

There something about Cambodia that keeps bringing me back there, I mean most people that is used to living life in the first world country would never go to such a place, I've been in and out of Cambodia every few years and I believe I like the culture and way of life (lifestyle) the way they do things so differently from here like not following road rules and opening up shops without permits, it's just those little things that give me a sense of freedom every time I visit there, also I am Cambodian.

[@chetramino43]

That Cambodian noodle called "rice noodle". The noodle was made out of rice and those green stuff are the fish meats.

[@michael-lt2lf]

Thank you so much for this. I don't ever expect to be able to visit the wonderful places you have but you make it feel like the viewer is right there beside you.

[@Edgesofearth]

- Hey cool, thanks! Glad to hear. My upcoming series will have a stronger feeling of this. I have changed my style a bit...should be cool 😇😇😆

[@fasteddy60]

That was exciting, thanks fo sharing with us. 😎🙏

[@kimsa1369]

I’m going to Cambodia next year can’t wait

[@Edgesofearth]

- Have fun!!

[@megaqueen2962]

Just call me Kimsar sar Kim is not my name

[@scizalex]

Sar Kim well how would we know what’s your real name ? Besides having that as your name on the KZbin account.. lol 😂

[@chhenghornglim7040]

This might be my most fav vlog of yours in Cambodia!

[@hengphilippe2173]

Thank for showing about my country ❤️

[@Edgesofearth]

- 😇😇😇🤗

[@hengphilippe2173]

I can show place that good for go

[@Ngaemond]

Thanks for your interesting video. May I ask how did you find a local friend to guide you around? When I visited China in 2010 I had Chinese friends who took me around. It would have been difficult without them. I live in Louisiana and have eaten alligator. It's like cooked rubber.

[@Edgesofearth]

- hahaha, yes, it was like eating tire 😆 I usually use couchsurfing. I found a person on couch surfing who was in a different country who called his friend and I stayed at his friends house and then a friend of a friend invited me to go somewhere. crazy how it all worked out lol

[@Ngaemond]

@@Edgesofearth Wow. Thanks. Orkun.

[@ngovvuthy8889]

That noodle it made of rice It called the rice noodles And the yellow stuff they called k'reang It a Cambodia spices

[@chhenghornglim7040]

Those are so cool! Glad that you learned about some of the Khmer textiles!😍👏🏻

[@Edgesofearth]

- definitely interesting to learn!

[@chhenghornglim7040]

Edges Of Earth yeah,totally!

[@caliglory1240]

this is really cool to see how they actually make sugar out of palm seeds.

[@terryparnell520]

Interesting travels! For future reference and for others coming to Cambodia, it IS possible to go directly from Chau Doc to Phnom Penh, either by boat or by arranging to join the Can Tho-PP bus en route. (It skirts Chau Doc but definitely possible. If it's too hard to arrange a pick-up point, alternatively you could get a local bus to Can Tho and just get on the PP bus at its start OR to Long Xuyen and pick up the bus at their food stop. Any way, it's shorter than going all the way to HCMC.)

[@Edgesofearth]

- Interesting. I spoke with locals, they called the bus company and they said no. They said HCMC to PP only :/

[@terryparnell520]

I make the trip by bus frequently and have for several years. To do the bus, you'd likely have to contact the office in Can Tho or PP to arrange, and you'd need a Vietnamese speaker to help you. The speedboat makes a nice trip, too. It's a bit more expensive but faster and definitely worth doing once if you get back this way. (You can book the speedboat online on several sites.) And for anyone who might need the bus info, here it is. Can Tho 107 Tran Hung Dao - Q. NK - 38C Nguyen Van Linh, P. HungLoi, Q. Ninh Kiey - TP. Can Tho Tel : [phone] 710 3832 203 Phnom Penh Bus Express & Travel (Cambodia) Co. Ltd #09 DEo, Street 230, Phsar Deumkor Commune Tuoi Kork District, Phnom Penh Tel : [phone] The bus trip takes 7-8 hours from Can Tho (probably 5 from Chau Doc) costs 300k dong (on the Viet side) and $15 from the Khmer side. The ticket includes a meal and a bottle of water but the meal is always in Long Xuyen.

[@Edgesofearth]

- Wicked info. Thanks! 😇😇

[@AcreBarnHome]

I miss Cambodia 😩! Thanks for the awesome video

[@Edgesofearth]

- Cambodia was is an interesting place. I wish time didn't run out and I could explore more. 1 month wasn't near enough! 😇 Next time (if I ever return), I think I will explore the North.

[@TangerineJo]

Great I am planning to live in Cambodia for a month. Your video is really helpful ~~~

[@TangerineJo]

How long did you stay in 🇰🇭 ?

[@Edgesofearth]

- Cool. Good to hear. Glad I could help! I stayed for 28 days..

[@avieboy]

I'm Khmer and have traveled the world extensively. Really enjoying your videos and travel style. I love learning languages, culture, food, and music. I always skip the herds of people for more authentic experiences. Kudos to you! Later when you reminisce, it's the people, the locals, and the off beat experiences you'll cherish. Rarely, do you see on KZbin the road less travel. It's mostly all for show / crapagram, just another photo snapshot for bragging rights. Keep on keeping on, maybe we'll meet on the road one day.

[@Edgesofearth]

- Many thanks! Yeah, I have a small following because I don't do all of the tourist things. But, that's OK. This method of travel is 100 better! The authentic experiences are what I live for! :) Thanks for the kind comment!

[@avieboy]

Edges Of Earth FYI that noodle dish you were eating is an old throw back classic Khmer dish. It was very popular during French colonization. It's made with fish that's been shredded and mix with krueng (national seasoning catch all curry like paste made of pounded galangal lemongrass garlic chillies) in coconut milk. Brings me back.

[@Edgesofearth]

- Haha, it was terrible. I couldn't finish it all! I tried to eat it only to give respect lol.

[@xxxxx6802]

love your vlog

[@Edgesofearth]

- 😇 Hey thanks!

[@kuyheangly9386]

Worthy of your one day because those two girls took you to good places beside Angkor Wat Temple. Best of luck from 🇰🇭

Yeah I come from Cambodia and I love sugar cane drink is yummy

[@mrmontrey3139]

*Angkor wat is beautiful I hope you happy*

[@saldoris8328]

Aww she's so cute

[@ChhayKong]

Great video. Looks like you enjoyed your time in Cambodia. I grew up in Phnom Penh in the 80s. The country has changed a lot, it has enjoyed ~40 years of peace and stability. Next time you are in Cambodia, ask me if you have any questions. Hehe, you probably know more places than me by now.

[@Edgesofearth]

- Totally. Many thanks! 😇

[@greenmoon3933]

where you live now ?

[@vegetablepolice]

You're just up for anything aren't ya? lol. Been enjoying your travels man ;)

[@Edgesofearth]

- Many thanks 😇 Yeah - pretty much! I hang out with anyone and of all ages. If a local is curious/kind enough to invite me somewhere - I'm ready to accept 💪🏽

[@kungmarkatta2000]

@@Edgesofearth Thats the right way of travel and learn :)

[@hemrithy1997]

It's call a sugar cube plam or usually sugar plam

[@Edgesofearth]

- it tasted terrible! :-) the two girls loved it, though.

[@hemrithy1997]

Actually , it tastes so sweet and delicious but sometimes it depends on the people too .

[@MichaelDangerDobbs]

I just got into your videos not too long ago I really love them. I appreciate your honesty and openness. It was crazy how good the sound was when you were riding on the scooter is what microphone are you using on your camera?

[@Edgesofearth]

- Haha, awesome, thanks for following my crazy adventures! A Rode micro ;)

[@MichaelDangerDobbs]

@@Edgesofearth awesome thanks, ive been looking into getting a new mic and was looking into Rode micro go but wasnt sure of the quality. but all your videos definitely show its good at blocking out most ambient noise. Are you filming on a DSLR? Im going to be getting a new camera before my trip to SE Asia a the end of this year ive been looking into getting a Panasonic Lumix, any thoughts on what you would recommend?

[@prumchhangsreng979]

I think get in contact with the local and learn about the culture and different thing that u dont normally find back home like brown sugar, silk farm, khmer noodle... are totally worth it. I would chose this sorta adventure. And hey careful with dog in Asia country. They usully dont get vacined.

[@oooo9537]

Welcome to Cambodia 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@johnperkins5450]

@ 16:00 you say “it was a pricier thing.” What was pricier? Boat ride, crocodile meal, something else? The crocodile meal was $5.50, what were the other prices that you paid while there? Were there other tourist there?

[@Edgesofearth]

- The boat ride. It was about $25. this may not sound like a lot of money, but when you're travelling for years consistently without a job or a break, every little bit matters lol. in addition, this may have been a local price, I am not sure. the woman told me to wait behind on the motor bike so she could get the tickets and then bring them back. she returned to me and told me how much I needed to pay, and then I walked up and paid. she told me that if I walked up to the window with her and asked this price, then I may have had to pay a foreigner price. this was her method to securing a local price. this price was for the cost of the entire boat, and not per person.

[@johnperkins5450]

Edges Of Earth Gotcha, thanks for the info and quick response. Hoping to go to Cambodia next year. Happy and Safe Travels!

[@vateyoun9606]

I'm from khmer and my friends meet you!

[@Edgesofearth]

- Yeah? Where?

[@ur12cujo]

Good opportunity for Pateron, additional footage, pictures, details, and gps of locations...

[@Edgesofearth]

- patreon has been on the back of my mind for a while. I just hate the thought of asking people for money. It feels weird to me. Currently, I'm spending all of my own personal money to travel the world.

[@ur12cujo]

Edges Of Earth - I don’t think it’s considered e-begging, as long as your providing extra content and not phoning it it. Some people just set it up to get paid based on the videos they already produce, that’s where people get angry. But IRL twitch is the hottest thing going right now, check out ‘cjayride’, he’s a lot like you...

[@Edgesofearth]

- Thought about twitch, also. But it would be a difficult thing to keep 4G constantly and always be live. With patreon, I am super far behind on videos already. I couldn't imagine making more content. Crazy. I thought about hosting live videos once or twice a month specifically for the patreon contributors. That would be doable. Or maybe a one on one for the largest contributer. Not sure. Just thoughts at this point lol Thanks for throwing ideas around :)

[@ur12cujo]

Edges Of Earth - Good points, Twitch would get you the most bang for your buck, and not add to your workload too much. There are people out there streaming in Asia, so it’s doable. Awkwards_travel is another twitch channel, they just use a couple of android phones to stream. Best part of streaming, no editing!! ;)

Was literally thinking only today that I’ve been seeing lots of butterflies and moths but not seen one cacoon or whatever it is you call it…then bam, you see about 500 of them haha. We did Angkor Wat for sunrise and it was dire! 4.30am we were up and the clouds just killed it - that and the 5000 other rude people haha

[@Edgesofearth]

- I'm with ya. THAT is the exact experience that I didn't want to have. 'Overcrowded mass-tourism' 🤮 lol. Strange. While your luck is still strong - start thinking about winning the lottery. Maybe it will also manifest like the cocoons 😂 🦋

My only goal is to help people feel a bit more of the culture...mainly by spending time with local people.

[@pmjmiller]

did you really get food poisoning from the gator meal

[@Edgesofearth]

- Yessss 🤮 3 Solid days. So painful. So frustrating. The pain started about 1 hour after eating it... 🐊

[@anornpath1587]

Edges Of Earth the foods in cambodia aren’t carefully inspected in terms of hygiene. Compared to western hygiene, Cambodian hygiene standards are low. Since your immune system isn’t use to the unclean food, it will have problems digesting it. I advise you to be very careful on what you eat especially in Cambodia. Although there are places that are relatively clean.

[@Edgesofearth]

- Yeah. I'm aware of this. However, this particular place was a restaurant that all of the boaters bring the tourists to. I assumed that since they had a slow, but constant, flow of tourists - the food would be of higher standard and there would be no issues. The presentation, as you can see from the video, was actually quite nice. But it apparently wasn't clean or fully cooked...or something. I have been living for a year in Vietnam, and I am around the same level of hygiene. Just barbaric at times. I can hardly understand how the people can think certain situations are hygienically, OK. But, they (I'm guessing) just don't understand. Oh well. Better luck next time, I suppose lol

Your spoken English is very unusual. A shame that you don’t like temples.

[@Edgesofearth]

- Yeah, I have traveled around and with people who know English as a second language for so long. I have learned to speak in a way that they will immediately understand the meaning. You should also hear me when the camera is off. I mimic their level of English, not to be rude, but for them to understand me easily. Sometimes I continue speaking this way when the camera is on..lol
