Ed, your positivity, humility and generally good vibe set your simple videos head and shoulders above the rest. No BS just genuine information and opinion that we, the average traveller can use. Keep it up, enjoy your time away, keep entertaining us and never change. Cheers from Melbourne 🍻🥖🍷

Thanks, mate. I appreciate that

The pandemic hammered SR. It's great to see the place slowly coming back to life. It was home for 12 years, so I never tire of watching videos of the place. Thanks for posting.

[@yorkiephil7744]

Freezing cold back here in the UK Ed. You are in a great town, having a good time AND saving money by avoiding what would be expensive electricity and gas bills back home.

[@ianfitton272]

You have great humor and lovely accent. Do not feel bad for those hawkers as they try to make a living. They are the true survivors. I had a chance to visit this historical town way back in the 60s as a boy with my family. I did not see many tourist then and the town was so peaceful. Only memory lives on. Life is short. Be kind, be cool, and be happy. Safe travels mate!

All the best mate

Looks so peaceful Eddie. Kinda wish I had visited Cambodia in the mid 2000s.from 2004 to 2009 I travelled frequently to the Philippines, malaysia and Thailand. Cambodia and Vietnam are definitely on my list. 1 dollar for a beer? Superb 👍👍👌🍻🍻🍺👌

[@anastas6179]

Your videos really have stoked my desire to visit Cambodia. From USA, it seems it makes more sense maybe to do a visit within a Thailand trip. Flights and travel time are pretty horrendous otherwise 🤔

[@WJJ1961]

Nice attitude mate. My 'girlfriend' has a market stall over there Damnit, didnt spot her...I remember having fun at the rooftop bar, at 14:30 a few years back.

[@dH-pq5pn]

You should check out Kendall Village which is about a five minute walk from pub Street. There’s a place called common ground Café, and Kamon Japanese restaurant, and there’s an Italian restaurant and there’s a Mexican restaurant that has $1.75 tacos on Tuesdays. The Mexican place is called may be later. It’s kind of tucked behind the provincial hospital.

Excellent upload Eddie. I enjoyed my time in Siem Reap when I visited previously. Where are you off too next?

I was in Cambodia in March 2019, and the river in Siam Riep had dried up completely. The river then did have plenty of rubbish though. I thought it was nice to stay there for a couple of days, but on day 5 I was thrilled to leave.

[@The_Drifter_13]

Totally agree. If I could only go to one place in Cambodia, it would be Siem Reap without question.

[@georgeoshust793]

I noticed how clean the streets are there Eddy. There was not one piece of litter on the street. Looks like a nice place to visit

Siem Reap looking good. Yes, a very "pleasant" town but VERY touristy due to the proximity to Angkor Wat. Amazes me how those shops in the market survive ALL selling the same stuff (T-shirts, souvenirs etc !). Those sellers must have had a tough time during the pandemic 😥

Edward no doubt a beautiful place along with you and it's people . A bit off putting having them come after you trying to sell you something . As you said I hate seeing someone struggle to make a living , makes you feel guilty but you really don't need the stuff . It does spoil an afternoon look around for a tourist , not really interested in artefacts and souvenirs .

Love it Eddie..... thank you. Can't wait to come back. In many of the older buildings that have been kept up and take care of or restored, you can see French colonial architecture. And Cambodia also got their baguette bread from the French, and continue to make it. The country gained independence from France on 9 November 1953. I was two years old at the time. That orange building kitty corner from the old market is the Viva fine Mexican and Khmer food restaurant. I ate there often because I love their tacos. Apparently they now have a second restaurant in town. Can't wait to come back, and stay and live there. And my Khmer friends miss me. Tired of Canada, getting old, and maybe not too many years left on this world. Have to come back soon. Best wishes and thank you for the videos. 😃 🙏🏼 🌴 🇰🇭
