Visiting The Most Hedonistic Country On Earth (

Cambodia. I'm not sure what you've heard about this country, but after some stressful trips around the world, I needed a break. Cambodia has, well, an interesting reputation. A place where you can find almost anything! It even has one of the world's biggest wonders, Angkor Wat! Perfect place for a little vacation. Sure, there's a lot of shady things that have happened in the country as well, but we were going to forget that for now.
I invited some friends of mine to join and we were off to try everything Cambodia had to offer, from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. It was sure to be a very happy time.

I disagree with classifying Cambodia as a hedonistic country. The people are very friendly, honest. Crime is very low. Vices are not pushed in your face like in Philippines and Thailand. Scammers are much less than Vietnam. I've been living around SE Asia for 11 years now and I find Cambodia as the most relaxing and safe country in the region, with citizens having strong moral values.

[@ephelesfrance7006]

im 30 years in cambodia laos thailand myanmar and can speak 6 languages here some more than others this youtuber is a clueless tourist about cambodia. i have famliy all over cambodia and never have they asked me for money. if a khmer family finds there daughter working in some bar she would be disowned. vs thailand in many cases parents know and just take the cash. and guess what happens to a robber if they find him? hes either shot dead or tied to a tree and set on fire. have acatully seen such. more so in the lawless days khmer rouge that ended around 1997. acatully thou the most moral people are the upcountry people of myanmar tai yai, mon, pa-o,karen, wa well there are many. near zero corruption. but cambodia would be 2nd best. they are still corrupted but its not the thai corruption of allowing murderers to get off free but stuff like business dealing and well its cambodia everything been sold ie angkor wat (vietnam) killing fields (japan), naga casino (malaysia) all leases to the highest bidder and all that money pocketed.

Hey Sabbatical, I literally just left there! Too bad we weren’t able to cross paths there. I had an amazing time… great video and eager to see your further adventures!

[@jonathanmilo]

Dedicated viewer here! Thank you again for your wonderfully unvarnished peek into another fascinating corner of the world. Just yesterday a friend suggested we go to Angkor Wat. I’m now on board! Much love to you. I look forward to learning more about how Chinese mafias are impacting Cambodia.

[@mrdm1967ify]

How it's it now since the Chinese swarmed in?. I was there in 07 and stayed at the Utopia, not too far from the beaches.

[@Goono123]

@@mrdm1967ify a lot of Chinese left after the government banned online gambling. And they left hundreds of unfinished buildings behind. There's still a lot of Chinese left but they seem to be very seedy and involved in a lot of scamming. I'm constantly hearing about murders, kidnapping, trafficking... The sleepy Sihanoukville you saw in 07 is long gone.

[@UnclePhillyMyAss]

@@mrdm1967ify Its a completely different place. Utopia is now one of many grey buildings. The lions are still there but all around are just chinese stle half empty buldings and chinese shops. Same with Otres allthough Otres can be ok for a few days. The whole Ocheteul beach now is basically identical looking resteraunts. There are a few that never sold though. Khin shack is still there as in 07.

Peppy video, Tommy! Love from my den in NYC, as usual!

[@georgedickens261]

Cambodia is possibly the best country in SE Asia, no language barrier like Thailand/Vietnam/Myanmar etc because most Khmer speak English, Medical & Pharmacy/Drug stores everywhere with no prescription necessary, most Restaurants list Menu in Khmer/English unlike Vietnam & Thailand, the Khmer Rouge held back development of Cambodia so there are areas of the country which have not been westernized & a person can get a glimpse of real Khmer culture, in spite of the hardships these people have faced & continue to do so they are a warm & friendly people, Cambodia is definitely worth a visit!

[@user-qd4td7yb8e]

atheist Khmer rouge ruined Cambodia.

[@georgedickens261]

@@user-qd4td7yb8e They did that for sure, & what a tragedy it all were & is to this day, I think Cambodia would have possibly been one of the most advanced places in SE Asia if KR did not happen, no other city in surrounding countries has such a nice riverfront area like in Phnom Penh, as well as the Siem Reap Temple Complex. Even though Thailand & Vietnam did not go through what Khmer have i still feel as a westerner that Cambodia is an good place to visit without language barrier like those 2 previously mentioned countries.

if you're curious about the "black girl" stall name, it is a direct translation from the word ស្រីម៉ៅ which is a very common female khmer name and also the name of the stall owner.
