It was time for a beach vacation. Unfortunately, the place I chose was Sihanoukville in Cambodia, which has developed a bit of a bad reputation over the past decade.

It's really sketchy making a real Bavet video. I was just there and riding around solo freaks out security even without me filming. I feel that doing any sort of video there with any substance could lead to very bad consequences and also maybe not being able to go back into Cambodia. It's also really hard to tell what anyone is actually doing so any video or report on any development there would be fairly speculative. Some sketchy looking stuff might not actually be sketchy/illegal. The barbed wire and enclosed industrial complexes look really bizarre to foreigners but they aren't necessarily nefarious. 🤔🤷🏼

@@Marisolita_95 The problem we have though is it's more a case of we think what is implanted on us. I mean, look at the History of what we've done here. China, no Wars in over 45 years, peaceful diplomatic relations with the Khmer since the 13th century at Angkor... We in the West gave rise to, and later even funded, supported and trained the Khmer Rouge, even after the genocide... When I say racism, I'm not referring to you or the reader, I'm saying that it is no coincidence that we form these views because that's how bad the process of indoctrination is. The means that are used are far more subtle and seemingly innocuous to us. But they are forever present and our greatest danger because they control our perceived ability to think with clarity.... This is the WHY the History does not fit the logic. This being the case it's implanted on us... It's purpose is to keep us at War. For there is no money in peace and the U.S industry of War has had its eyes on China since the early 90's. That's all this is.

I used to go there 10 years ago, it was a quiet dirt road town with little crab restaurants, happy pizza places, and quiet beaches. This was super sad to see it’s unrecognizable. Hopefully Kep is still the same.

Yes, Kep is still beautiful and the same, but they have developed a bit like the roads and some of the tourist places.

When I went there 10 years ago the atmosphere was already beyond shady. There were already a lot of Russians - in fact, I stayed at a small hotel owned by one. The islands off the coast were incredible, though.

@@Mkbshg8 You can recognize which one is correct from the context. There is most commonly used to mean “at that point” or “in that place.” Their is the possessive form of the third-person plural pronoun “they.” It means “belonging to them.” They're is a shortened version of “they are.” Well done.

Hi Tommy, I think you are doing a good and honest job with your videos, I see you care about what you are doing. I’m Italian, I have been living in Phnom Penh for 3 years, then I spent the last 2 years in Sihanoukville in the very same building where you where staying, Star Bay. Please let me add something to your story: First of all, the reason why so many condos are unfinished in town is the pandemic: from march 2020 everything froze, Cambodia and the other ASEAN countries didn’t see any tourist for 2 years straight. Only the biggest construction companies survived (like the one building Star Bay), while the medium/small companies bankrupted. Same thing with anybody that started some business in 2019. All the Westerner entrepreneurs left Cambodia in a few months, while most of the Chinese left within 6 / 8 months. I spent 2 months in SHV in spring 2021, believe me the situation was pretty tragic, I have been talking to some tok tok drivers that on a good day were making 1 or 2 USD, and couldn’t afford a place to sleep. Now it’s getting better, but still tourism is under 50% compared to 2019. In COVID times, with a desperate need for money, it has been easy for illegal activities to flourish. The Cambodian Government is now fighting this situation and working to make Sihanoukville a clean place again, where investors and tourists can be happy to come back. The situation you describe is of course real, but I have to say the town is not dangerous AT ALL, if you don’t mess with illegal activities. Same like in any big city, same like in Milan or in Rome. But unlike Milan or Rome, I can guarantee from my personal experience that in Sihanoukville you can walk alone anywhere anytime in the night and nothing will happen, town is very quiet and safe. Scammers, let’s make it clear, don’t kidnap people walking in the street. Cambodian people are some of the kindest and most polite people I encountered in all my life, and Sihanoukville, besides the may chinese, indonesian and foreigners business, is also a Khmer town, with real Khmer people, shops, restaurants on the beach, supermarkets, shopping malls, everything that is part of a “normal” life. Every foreign tourist is very welcome, and I wish Cambodia to have the good and prosper future it deserves. Keep on traveling and making interesting video reports! Roberto
