We were there last year and we saw quite a few Rolls Royce parking on the street. I think almost 70% out of 70 thousand residents living in that BKK1 district are foreigners (Japanese, Americans, Europeans, Korean, Singaporean, Chinese….). There are many huge and fancy coffee shops in Cambodia. Yes, we also saw a lot of Range Rover SUV’s. Very popular over there.

[@KhmerOldiesAficionado]

There are actually over 300 Rolls Royce and Bentley in Cambodia. It’s insane

[@coreana.aesthetics]

That is true. The majority are expats and young local professional. The wealthy cambodian prefers to live in Villa within Gated Community in Peng Huot, Sen Sok and other surrounded area.

[@KhomAsian]

Abar kabar! Sending friendly hello to all Indonesian friend, your country is such a gem a such a diversify nation! Greetings from Native Khmer in Mekong delta Vietnam.

[@giannishen]

I didn’t expect that a country uses coconut as the name of the park, and most of the trees in it are not coconuts! The houses in the wealthy area are beautiful, thanks a lot for sharing, really great job! 👍😄👏 P. S. I will tell you some information about Cambodia. You can take a look when you have time! Regarding the quality of high-speed rail, I will also mention it by the way!

[@LegendaryBum-du4bp]

they also have coconut brains over there

Even in the poorest neighborhoods, you’ll casually see a Roll Royce or Maybach rolling around, it’s very typical, you might see more expensive cars here than any where in Southeast Asia. Thanks for sharing the video. We as Cambodian are really grateful and proud to see this.🙏

PH is mainly for upper class Cambodians. Koh pich residents are mainly Chinese.

The places and the streets, the trees and walk ways that you showed in this clip are quite like down town Bangkok, Thailand over 50+ years ago: so very peaceful and quite and similar in building styles, except the sky rise bldg ones. This reminded me of the Bangkokians life styles during the old days which I'm missing much. Thank you for showing this. I like your clips. Have a good time.😍🌹❤🎉🎉

[@shopkins12]

Cambodia is catching up on modernization along with its Southeast Asian neighbors. Nice...

[@amyrrrr9765]

I find it so fascinating that Cambodia is an LDC, this area in comparison to the last area you were in, it so drastically different. I'm amazed they have an area so modern, it's fantastic to see. Hope you're enjoying your time there. Another killer video.

[@engtechno]

Assess LDC is based on the entire country as the whole. What he didn't show was the poor destitute hood and many of them just right in the backyard. Koh Pich (Diamond Island) was a brand new neighborhood and mostly foreigner's residents. About 3km from that island, it was a poor destitute hood. I am not sure, whatever he is the LDC activist.

[@imgoodandimbad5693]

Zane please visit cambodia island🥰

[@tommyflorida9204]

Koh Pich means Diamond Island. Koh is island.

[@dan4500]

Same as Thai?

[@tommyflorida9204]

When the Thai settled in the Khmer Empire, there were exchanges and influences between the cultures. Thai has about 40% of Khmer vocabulary.

[@gerhardthen8851]

Tonle Bassac, off Sothearos Rd....embassy district....money area....the hotel you are talking about is possibly Ocean Hotel...really nice roof topbar.

[@user-kh3hm1dd7h]

Good Video The Camera doesn't do justice to convey the size and scale for a few of those houses in Koh Pich especially that one with SUV in the Garage 31:36 mark 8- 10 Ft floor to ceiling glass from outside & Interior maybe 14 ft high Floor to celing

[@gosnooky]

Coconut Park is privately owned. They have farmers markets and expat stuff there once in a while. It's nice to have it there - PP has very few green spaces, sadly. As for walking around outdoors in April -- hardcore.

[@mesastudioofficial7479]

Welcome to Cambodia 🙏🇰🇭❤️

[@kamaaina3261]

According to my Cambodian friend, the import tax on new cars is 100% of thier price. Used cars are assessed 75% duty so there are a lot of creative ways to render a new car used. In 2019 I saw a uniformed officer driving a new Rolls Royce in Battambang. With import duty that's near a million dollar car.

[@bigdig9249]

As a Cambodian with strict parents, I've never seen or exploring shi inside my own country. Thanks you so much for showing us this😅😅

[@spaceship7011]

one of my friends went from like lower middle class to living in one of these. it's really shocking bc she used to only speak khmer and when i met her again it was just perfect english. yeah we were kids back then when she was middle class

[@sonievkay]

they REALLY need to do something about those street wires. gives me shivers whenever i see them.

[@rojanetouk]

Why you not live in Cambodia that why you don’t know

[@walsakaluk1584]

The messy ones are telecommunications wiring, copper and fibre, it won't hurt you. The electric power cabling is properly managed and segregated. Relax.

[@AlohaPanda]

The best way to pronounce things in Khmer (Cambodian) is to not emphasize on any letter in the word (first letter or last letter), it’s very soft to almost silence.

[@Handle_Edit]

Interesting

[@tolagamer2898]

You can visit Peng hout Euro Park

[@alvinantonio8033]

Awesome video! Which is better to be home based? BKK or BCG?

[@uding198]

Those who own luxury cars are hella rich because Cambodia charges more than double the price worth of tax import it into the country. So like a 60-70k car can reach 140-160k after tax in Cambodia.

[@Sinantour]

What kind of camera do you use?

[@James-ng6bx]

Thanks you for visiting My county

[@ratana781]

Hi Zane, at 10:35 actually Cambodia GDP is $45b(rebase) in 2024. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects that Cambodia’s GDP will grow by 6.1% in 2024, up from 5.6% in 2023. This positions Cambodia as the fastest-growing economy in Southeast Asia for the upcoming year. However, some sources, such as Open Development Cambodia, report an even higher of 7% GDP growth for Cambodia in 2024 projection of 7% GDP growth for Cambodia in 2024.

[@ratana781]

Cambodia just rebased GDP as per recommend by the IMF. Currently, Cambodia gdp is at around 45billions $, increase 35% from previous base gdp. This makes Cambodia’s already low debt to gdp ratio even lower to just 26.4%, second lowest in asean only behind Brunei. Normally, countries are recommended to rebase their GDP every 5 years or so, but Cambodia didn’t rebase its own GDP for past 20 years, so a 35% increase is totally normal.

[@Theonyy]

Dude! I love Koh Pich. I work at Canadian international school (the school you see right when you cross the bridge) and I always walk around after school and play Pokemon go while just enjoying the view of the riverside part.

Nice to see some rich area. Also nice you mentioned that the weather is literally almost hot enough to kill a human in the shade. Hopefully the weather doesn't keep getting hotter and they continue with reducing poverty like they were before the pandemic when it was reduced by 50% from 2014-2021.

hey zane, just a note about the use of the word "mandarin". mandarin is the spoken official language of china. the written language is always referred to as chinese. so whenever you see a written sign it is always in chinese, just like you wouldn't refer to a sign in english as written in texan, new england, etc. there is a difference in the written language as the one used in china is called simplified and the other type is called traditional but both are written chinese. anyway keep up the good content.
