[@stevenoconnor3493]

Totally agree with you mate, I have been living here since 2005. Yes, it has changed a lot! Back then it was different, felt very different and edgy but always safe. The changes were rapid, back then no ATM, power cuts daily, no mini marts, less cars, tallest building a 6 story shopping centre. Today, less people out of poverty, better opportunity more educated people. It is a modern city with an old school vibe. To the person thats never been..go visit. It is still very different. Organized chaos so to speak. Great meeting you here and onward and upwards to your next adventure!! Keep up the great work!!

I finally got to experience Cambodia in 2007 and I fell in love with this country and it’s lovely people. I have been back many times, especially as Thailand had become very familiar and and visitor no’s increased. Your videos, Eddy, have brought back some great memories, cheers

[@donlmcc]

Great job. Enjoyed your show thoroughly but with one different opinion on the "garbage in the streets". Been in Cambodia for 7 years now with the first two in Sihanoukville and five in Kampot. I remember black garbage bags piled twenty high in empty lots and empty plastic bags filling the little streams by the roads in S'vile but you won't see that in Kampot. They have blue garbage containers every fifty meters by the river road and we drop off our home garbage there regularly. Weekly garbage pick up through out the town. You will hardly ever see police presence in the city and yet there isn't a place downtown that I don't feel safe at anytime, day or night. I love Kampot, it is a very clean and well run little city where I have never had a greater sense of freedom, personal safety and happiness in my life.

[@mrc4545]

First arrived Cambodia 2007. It was a different place back then for sure. Can't begrudge development and it's still a great place albeit not with the exciting undiscovered edge as before. PP is almost unrecognizable compared to 15 years ago, Kampot too. I actually liked Kampot back then, not many people went there, felt like a hidden rustic jewel untouched by time. You're right though, we all change too and wide eyes of yesteryear a little less wide than before.

[@seans7228]

This is presently my first trip to SEA. I spent two months in Thailand and then went to Phnom Penh (I bumped into EDDY randomly in PP. He's a great guy in person too). Anyway, I loved Cambodia and PP! The hotels, food, transportation are excellent values. Eddy is right that you need deep pockets if you want to play in the Riverside area - - but great and inexpensive fun can be found elsewhere - no problem! Cambodia was a revelation to me - although I have no historical reference - and that may be a good thing! I'm going back for March and April and really looking forward to it. Great to meet you Eddy and many thanks for all your videos!

Kampot was a war shattered town when I was there in '93. I went there by mistake and realised I needed to get out fast as some Khmer Rouge were still in the area and had recently kidnapped some Aussie and English backpackers. So that sounds like it's definitely improved

I went to Cambodia 30 years ago. The UN were just pulling out of Siem Reap and there were hardly any tourists at Ankor Wat. I was at Ankor Thom with just me, a Japanese guy that I'd met on the boat going up there and an 18 year old Cambodian army soldier guarding the place. That was it. There was no girly bar scene for tourists. So it changed for better/worse in the 15 years between then and 15 years ago when you were first there Ed.

We are entering a multipolar world. The US dollar will hit the toilet in 2023/2024, but I think they will go to war to preserve their hegemony. Cambodia will get rid of the US dollar and is trying to now. Unfortunately the cost of living will continue to rise, and as countries like Cambodia continue to develop things will start to change as they did in Thailand. Yes, Cambodia is the last country in SEAsia to offer a non elitist visa regime, and thanks to that, some of us expats can get away from the crazy domestic and international policies of our governments, because they're on a slippery slope to oblivion. God Bless Cambodia. ❤️

I LOVED Cambodia in 2019...but frankly hated it very recently in 2022. It's the Chinese investment or something. Everything has gotten WAY more expensive if you want to actually live here. It's easily ~50%+ more expensive than Thailand. And as for women, before, for an 8.5-9/10, ST for $40+10 BF was no problem. This time around, They asked for $200, and wouldn't budge below $80 no matter what (unless they were below a ~6.5/10). It's like Vietnam girly prices but without the Vietnam charm. I don't know who got these girls unionized or what, but I've been turned off by Cambodia entirely. Grocery stores are all expensive imported goods. The ONLY good thing about Cambodia is that long-term visas are easy as hell to get.

Hi Eddie, it was great to see you in action in Siem Reap. Well, doing a live stream recently. I have to say I, with the cleanup and improved roads in Seim Reap, found the river area beautiful. I do like the look of Kampot for a change. Safe travels

Edi, try to get into Myanmar. Hardly any youtubers have been there. It is unique. At least a couple of places should be accessible. It would be worth it just for Yangon. Hit me up if you're curious.

You gonna make a stop in snooky this time around ?

Ed: I'm assuming you like me, live alone. So when you have time, how about some advice regarding security of your home while you're on your extended trips? Also, from watching yours and other's vlogs, it seems the glory days of Thailand and Asia generally, with the exception of possibly the Philippines are over. What do you think about places like Mexico, South America, in general? I'm asking regarding reasonable prices, the prospect of a little fun with the ladies, safety, general interest, etc. Sorry mate, I know that's a lot to ask but I think it would be very interesting to many of us. It's good to see you making the most of your trip.

I've been to those South American countries. Not sure they would go down well on this channel.
