Was in Cambodia a few years ago, and asked a friendly local "Why everyone is so friendly here?" He replied, "We had suffered from war for years, so many dead, and it's a blessing to wake up in peace every day, surely we are grateful for a 'normal' life."

[@ChaseandShelbs]

That is absolutely amazing ♥️🥹 what a way to wake up every day!

[@Ifyoudisagreewithmeyouarewrong]

I’m sobbing

[@kayflip2233]

I think Southeast Asians are very friendly and smiley in general even generations born after war etc.

​@@kayflip2233Cambodia just a lil bit more smiley cus a lot of elders here are nice af

[@BorSam]

Thanks for visiting Cambodia! I love you guys' energy. I'm living in Siem Reap, and I recommend you visit, especially Angkor Wat. It's more calm than Phnom Penh, and there are many ancient Khmer temples that you can explore. Don't worry about communication; most of the people here can speak English. Have a good trip.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Absolutely! We are excited to share what we have been up too. So far Cambodia has been a place we enjoy so much. The temples, food and people are what travelling is all about and there is no shortage here in Cambodia 😍

[@KhmerMinnesnowta]

I left PP way back in late 1979 after surviving the brutal genocide there. The city was like a ghost town then. Sadly, most of my family members did not make it. The country was in total ruins. The families were separated and torn apart. I was in my last year of my high school in Phnom Penh. My first return trip was in 1995 to find my surviving family. Only memory lives on. Life is short. Be kind, be cool, and be happy. Enjoy your travels!

[@ChaseandShelbs]

We are so sorry to hear that. The Khmer Rouge was truly heartbreaking. We believe it’s a important part of history many people should learn about when they visit Cambodia. You are absolutely right. Life is short and we shouldn’t take anything for granted. Sending love to you friend! Thanks a ton & more adventures to come 😍🥰

[@sophearith6371]

😢😢😢

[@vannyseang7456]

I read your comment made me cry so story. I can tell by now you are over 60 years old . Your writing really good English. I really love reading your comments on this KZbin video channel.

[@KhmerMinnesnowta]

@@vannyseang7456 Thanks for your time and comment. I'm almost 70 now and it seems like yesterday of what I had to live through this hell on earth. I was able to find my sole surviving sister back then. Most of them who did not survive are in a better place. Sharing is Caring!

[@pie9315]

15:04 the ice creams are only 1000riel which is 0.25 cents, he said 1 because he might think it means 1000riel. but thank you for visiting my country hope you have a safe trip back to canada❤ love from cambodia 🇰🇭❤🇨🇦

[@sorpheachheng3331]

[@kaingchhaylong2762]

[@SanoRay]

Dear Sir and Mme: I, like many of my fellow Cambodians, sincerely appreciate you for visiting and showing Cambodia to the world with those lovely smiles and kind words. Covid-19 pandemic has been brutal and devastating to us. It's such a priceless favor and grace! Have a pleasant stay, sir and mme. Once again, our sincere thanks and appreciation. God bless you.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Hello! We are so happy and thankful to be able to visit such an incredible country, it took us by surprise. Thanks for the lovely comment and we can’t wait to see what else we get up too so we can bring you all along. ♥️ cheers!

[@pheakdeypheun1602]

I’m Cambodian and welcome to Cambodia. Thank you for making this video to spread out the world to know my country even further…

[@allie_playzroblox785]

Sameee I’m also Cambodian

[@pranjalshahi1791]

Yeah..but i as a south asian faced racism by government officials when i visited there...like each and every government official was rude and racist..and always asked for bribe.

[@natabeautiful]

I’m going back home (Cambodia) in a month (I’ve only been when I was young) it’s exciting to see how much the country has changed. It’s beautiful, I’m excited!!!

[@ChaseandShelbs]

You will have a blast! We are excited for you. ☺️

[@Packingpaws]

Aww I love Cambodia! Saw that you guys filmed this a while back but hope you got to see Kampot (stay on the river away from downtown!) and the Koh Rong islands. If not, definitely worth going back for 🇰🇭 and yea those chive pancakes are the best

[@ChaseandShelbs]

It’s so great! We can’t wait to go back some day. We actually visited Kampot but didn’t film. Just enjoyed it 🥰 we are also hooked on the chive dumplings haha!

[@Maximus27064]

It excites me to see foreigner visiting Cambodia, because it's very common to video of Bangkok visits Edit: I recommend you to visit the Sosoro Museum, a museum of Cambodian money

[@sokchea1031]

Welcome for visit in Cambodia. Have a nice time and don't forget visit Angkor Wat temple in Siem Reap :)

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Thank you! We did visit Ankor Wat! Check out our video ☺️

[@wherearewe-yt]

Another great video, guys! Absolutely love Phnom Penh. Super underrated city- a lot of people visit Siem Reap, but don't spend any time capital. Great people, great food and lots of beautiful temples and architecture. Makes we want to go back!

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Thanks guys! It was so fun and crazy busy. A very fast paced lifestyle haha. We can’t wait to see other areas of Cambodia. Loving it 😍

[@suryavarman6058]

we need more people like you it brings light and Joyce and go to the local street vendor help support and interactive with them it so beautiful Cambodia people well known to be the friendly people. Thanks, sharing you two are wonderful.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

[@ToraTheGoldenRetriever]

I’m so glad my family survived the Khmer Rouge and I was born about week before Vietnamese soldiers fought Khmer Rouge in 1979. My mom and newborn me barely survived the mines. Although my family and most relatives survived Khmer Rouge but growing up with a ptsd mother gave me a dark childhood as if I have experienced a glimpse of her life in the concentration camp.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

We are so sorry to here this. Learning about the history of Cambodia and the Khmer Rouge was truly heartbreaking. We can’t imagine what you and your family had to go through/are going through. We are sure it would probably make you a very strong person being able to move past that. Sending all our love ♥️

[@daraveung]

I live in Vancouver but originally from Cambodia. Loved your video 😍

[@coreana.aesthetics]

Amazing Vlog and amazing drone shots of Phnom Penh. I love it. By the way, the short noodle dish you ate is called "Lot Chha", and the pancake "Num Ka Chhay". They are the most common street foods in Cambodia and they are super yum.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

We appreciate that so much thanks! We are big fans of the food so far.. never realized how tasty it actually was as we don’t here much about it 🤩 give us alllll thestreet food!

[@Reach_frezzy_]

15:28 is one thousand riel but u said 1$ so he accepte that

[@Nathanyork361]

I appreciated your doc of your visit to Cambodia. FYI, it’s call lot Cha . Cha like cha cha dance! The second dish, is called nom ka chay - chive rice cake fried. Cambodia was colonized by French, hence the French colonial building. Thai and Khmer are technically influence each other back and forth from the past and now, just like Canada and the US. Hope you have fun there!

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Thanks for the info! It’s always great being able to learn more about the foods of the country we are in, so thank you! They are absolutely delicious those chive cakes haha 😍

[@davidk7026]

Hello in khmer mean sure sdey..

[@prashoeurkim9794]

Very enjoyable to watch the video. And thanks for not making negative info on the thumbnail to attract viewers just like other vloggers did. Love your content ❤

[@ChaseandShelbs]

[@aka_khema]

Those noodles Lort Cha is pronunced “load cha”. It’s a sweet salty fish sauce…used to drizzle on most Khmer dishes It’s deep fried chives in batter rice flour It’s messed up to say you might have diarrhea… just saying. It’s insulting even as a joke.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Thanks for the insight! Well jokes on me because I did have severe diarrhea the next day and needed medication. After this video we had tons of comments saying be careful because it’s common, especially eating those sauces. If we tried to think about every single thing that we “shouldn’t” say our videos wouldn’t be very fun and very free flowing! Just saying!

[@aka_khema]

@@ChaseandShelbsit appears I struck a negative cord with you! Lol! Any channel can be fun, funny, and free flowing WITHOUT being insulting. You’re telling your audience you’re gonna get the 💩Maybe you shouldn’t be traveling if you think you’re gonna have diarrhea from eating different food… just saying 😉I unsubscribed to your channel so you won’t see anymore comments from me. Take care! ✌🏼Hopefully Imodium was available

[@taylores9342]

Beautiful city of Phnom Penh, lovely tour. Awesome 👍👍👍❤️💕😍🇰🇭

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Thanks loads ☺️☺️

[@ReleaseTopic87]

FYI, LotCha is tastier when consumed with spoon and not chopstick. Trust me 😋😋😋😋. BTW, the coconut ice cream stick is 1000riel, he ripped you off for $1😂😂😂😂

[@Davidalexander0508]

Welcome and thank you so much for greatest vlog I've ever seen. Soem vlog uses negative content to attract view but you show the real Cambodia to the world with such a lovely content. Cambodian are the friendliest people on earth. Hope you could come and visit us again. Thank you.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

That makes us so happy to read! You are welcome. That’s the goal to be real and authentic and show the raw beauty of the countries we visit. Cambodia is amazing and the people and food are some of the best. Thanks friend! ♥️

[@Reach_frezzy_]

10:23 is call lot cha

[@kobenanemilekossonou5173]

13 Well. God always brings an interpretation to every revelation He gives. Now, the interpretation can come in different ways or gifts, and that's why I want to talk about it so that you be aware of it and pray to God to give you these gifts. 14 First of all, keep in mind that the interpretation of a dream or a vision is received through a gift; it must not come from our intelligence. It was through a gift that Joseph interpreted dreams in Genesis 40 and Genesis 41. And it was by a gift that Daniel interpreted the dreams and visions of Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar. I'm going to talk here about the different methods of interpretation. I have divided them into three parts. First, there is the standard method. Then, there are the gifts. And finally, there is the perfect will. 15 The standard method is that you understand through the Message, by means of your intelligence, what the dream or vision means. This method is not eternal. And to give the interpretation by this method, you must begin with: "I ask for forgiveness from God if the interpretation I am about to give is wrong". For example, if in the dream, the colour of your skin had changed, then by the Message, you know that it is the consequence of a sin against God and that you are loaded with a curse like Ham. 16 And it was to this method that the chapter Kacou 156 was devoted, with the aim of triggering a thirst for interpretation in you. When I gave you Kacou 155 and Kacou 156, I had seen in a vision that Kacou 155 had eight pages, while Kacou 156 had three pages, whereas, in reality, the two chapters have the same length and the same number of pages. God does not count the perfect will and the granted will together.

[@sopheavibolvet3585]

I really appreciate that you liked my country many people don’t really post Cambodian videos❤

[@tabby_playz597]

I'm sorry. But i think it's funny that you ate those noodles with chop sticks while we usually eat it with spoons.(i think we usually called it load-cha but it's prob has different names) P.s you got some chop stick holding skills gurl ❤😂

[@jin22079]

I wonder how could you use drone here, because it's illegal to use drone near the Royal Palace. But anyway welcome to Cambodia. Thank for video

[@kaingchhaylong2762]

The ice cream cost about 1000 រៀល the ice cream guy probably though u would give 1$

[@emacemac]

Phnom Penh is awesome. More Cambodia videos please :D

[@ChaseandShelbs]

It sure is! ☺️ more to come!

[@Jupe367]

I’m confuse about the timeline. I’m watching your channel and going back to watch the oldest footage; you keep mentioning you’ve been to Vietnam yet I’m seeing the most recent upload is Vietnam. Is Cambodia the most current?

[@hakkimchheng2971]

5:08 sorry for my electrical cables in my country 😂. Anyway thank you so much for your visiting and please come back later!

[@mrrnorakneath3544]

Hope you enjoy your trip but I would like to you inform you that in that area around royal palace , it’s a no drone zone so you should be checking it before flying around bcuz I’m scared you will get caught and scammed by the police

[@morasethy431]

Hey guys 12:30 you’re supposed to submerge the rice cake and let it soak in all that sweet sweet sauce and the rice noodle with the sauce too(use a spoon for the rice noodle ) safe travel guys

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Thanks for the tips! Now we now for next time 😍

[@lovetechnology1563]

thank you for visit Cambodia, but some area are not allowed to use drone, please check the instructions careful before use or you can ask police for More information. thank you very much

[@vannyseang7456]

Be careful please touching electricity in Cambodia no insulation.

[@idkwhatusernameiput]

You must eat this chai pancake with spoon and you got scammed by a ice cream man the real price cost 1000 riel and convert to dollar is 0.25 Cents

FYI: Chives snack in Chinese is ”韭菜饼 or Jiu cai bing (Mandarin)”. Aka “ku chai (Teochew dialect)” snacks. Most of our local foods were heavily influenced by Chinese culture.

Only thing good about the country is you can win cigarettes and money and more beer drinking beers from the ring pulls

[@addisonlim1292]

wow you guys actually found the best place for nom kachai and lord cha in Phnom penh (personal preference). You guys should have put in some chilly sauce and a cup of iced sugar cane drink.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Super happy we stumbled upon this place 😋 that sounds delicious 😋

[@veygames2731]

15:00 The ice cream is overpriced. The minimum price should be 1000៛ or 1500៛ per ice cream.

[@thonmunirot9051]

Love your video, so vibrant and fun. By the way, I should warn you about using drone in the capital, especially near the royal palace. You can film the royal palace if you have been authorized by the Phnom Penh authorities, otherwise you could get fined or worse, arrested. So be careful if you plan to visit next time.

[@ChaseandShelbs]

Thank you! We appreciate the heads up. We won’t be planning on using our drone if we come back. We don’t want that! 🙏🏼
