Scooter Shopping in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

I'm keeping track of where I buy everything and putting together a little "get settled in Phnom Penh" guide that will be updated as I discover more. Link is... here!: share.thatch.co/znt2

[@devitvan131]

I like your content and your attitude. I’m Cambodian and I like seeing the foreigners make the video and living in cambodia.

[@BIGJED75]

If you like foreigners and beards check out For Riel, they are great. PS they have a PCX.

[@poeryudo]

I've been living in Phnom Penh for almost 5 years, and I must say that I agree with your observations. Good channel 😀

[@Charlie-phlezk]

@8:26 I'm so glad you mentioned this 😊

[@jamieolsen647]

Watching this channel has prepped me for Cambodia more than any other content I've consumed online has prepared me for any country before. Awesome work buddy :)

[@wdaniel2221]

Love your videos. You always make me laugh.

[@michaelirish1445]

I love your varts... just love Ryans varts, its like lavender.

[@robertsimmons5575]

good buy I have had many hondas in my life they are great bikes good luck with it and drive safe

[@Charlie-phlezk]

@11:48 😂😂😂 lmfao, good job on that one. Subscribing just for that 🎉

[@afatdude]

That was a great video! Thanks for the info and the COMEDY!

[@NoOne-ik9fo]

12:07 he said ‘ yes sir, if you are interested you can come and take a look’. It's pretty common for people to voice message you back probably because it’s easier and it takes forever to write in Khmer.

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

I can only guess at how to type in khmer. Do you type a romanized version of the word, or do you draw the characters?

[@spiritery3458]

@@itchyfeetonthecheap basically we put the letter piece by piece like some word have stuff going on top of it and some have something going the bottom of that alphabet it more difficult to write on keyboard that with hand ✍️

Awesome video Ryan! Very informative and valuable for my search.

[@FamilyHobbiesandCards]

New bike, new laptop ( you did promise more content sir LOL) new city... GO RYAN! Way to take a rough ending of your previous living environment and turn it around for an amazing start to this one! This is in my top 3 Channels I like to watch. Just wished you posted maybe 2x a week. But, then I would get greedy, find another video and be like... ummm sir can you post 3 maybe 4x a week?!? Cheers to a great start in PEE PEE!

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

I'm trying to post more. It'll happen. I'll get my shit together. I promise.

@@itchyfeetonthecheap too busy in PP putting KMs on your new aaah blad. Sir you are doing a great job. My wife and I love your vids, and we have watched since gastronomy! OG style.

Just a friendly reminder For Riel puts out 2 Vlogs a week. They are not Valar't quality, but still good enough to pass as knock offs.

Keep the Vart coming.

[@wentzelpretorius2671]

Awesome video, I just wish you where there for me 5 years ago before I knew about Facebook marketplace or groups or khmer24 , when I was looking for my first moto in Cambodia, bought an airblade as my first moto, not really knowing anything about motos in Cambodia, bought my moto close to where you were when that guy speeded past you, had some troubles with it tho and I overpaid, but I've had a few motos I change about every year, Air blades are so rare in Phnom Penh, but everwhere else they are all over, mostly the Phat airplade as I call it, I know this video will be extremely helpful to everyone wanting to buy their first moto

[@SleepChopTravels]

Miss those days zipping around SE Asia on a scooter 🛵

[@kdamprae4236]

12:10 translation /oh yes if you are interested you can come and take a look /. We don't buy expensive things online we usually do a check first , and 900$ is actually decent I bet you can do a bargain to 700 to 800$ ish which considered cheap . Idk much about moto bike but the one my cousin bought was about 2k and a half it was brand new .

[@mattivirta]

1000$ can buy new scooter 900$ have owerprice expensive used bike ,no newer pay

[@sopheakou4500]

Lol this is very entertaining 😂 Love to see more vids about Cambo.

[@grahampeters7642]

Awesome video thanks for sharing 👍 😀

[@_daranitt_4153]

Been waiting for thiss, cuz ur vid always make my day!!

[@outsidelife5411]

😆 haha you are funny. I'm sure when they see you, they offer the tourist prices. I like seeing a perspective from expats and foreigners living abroad, it gives me some ideas of what to expect when I go visit. Thanks for sharing!

[@sounhournim1643]

So far your content is great man i hope to go back to Phnom Penh and hangout with you. I would love to show you the hidden gem around the city. I find expat too be amazing people and friendly. I find it rough here in European Local being grumpy with us expat or immigrants students i guess.

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

Let me know when you come back. I'd love to get a local to show me some cool places.

[@Progamers0.0]

spot on excellent vid brother

[@TonyKeepingItClean]

Subbed, liked, shared. Cheers. I have a lot to learn.

[@FireAnt376]

Thank you for the info

[@cmccarthy3016]

Great videos, Lyda bike shop is the best!!!! St110 No 3398 . English speaking. bought many motos and dirt bikes here.

[@sreymuchchan428]

If you want to visit Kampot, you can take the bike on the train, some bigger bus companies will also take a bike.

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

I didn't even know there was a train to Kampot. Thanks.

[@FamilyHobbiesandCards]

And I'm sorry but Nightman needs a cameo in an upcoming vid.

[@MarkGillard-g1x]

Great. You’ve talked me out of getting a 250cc dirt bike 😢 You’re right of course

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

😢 I'm sad for you.

[@armunro]

Good choice on the bike. Where did you leave your F-16? Reminds me of the ridulously cheap helmets you get in Vietnam which are just some polysterene with a thin coat of plastic.

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

I thought $3 was a good deal but I could have bought a bucket for $2 and I would have been just as protected.

[@robertchflynn]

if you have health insurance and get into an accident do you know if that's a problem without a license? We are always reminded by our insurance carrier through my job here (Vietnam) to make sure to have a license for this purpose. No license and possible no health coverage if in accident. Just curious as I'll be moving next week. I wonder if my Vietnamese license is transferable?

[@MasoudGholipour]

Thanks Ryan for you videos, they are helpful especially for tourists who are planning to go Cambodia. Should one goes to same place to rent a motorbike?

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

No. There are a few good rental places scattered around. I like EMC MOTORBIKE RENTAL in BKK1 maps.app.goo.gl/AxKPhBYDQQMMKqJJ8

[@alanfoster7082]

Awesome.

[@gregsandifer2398]

They manufacturing Hondas in Cambodia. If you see a Honda with NCX logo on it, it's manufactured in Cambodia.

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

Oh, I thought they only imported them. Thanks for letting me know.

[@planettudor]

@@itchyfeetonthecheap My pleasure. I really enjoy your videos

[@eye_cough]

I’m watching all these videos completely out of order 🙃 you got a PO Box or something that I can send you a mini painting?

[@stackfire9601]

So one can fly in to Cambodia and present the pcr test I got before I left the states and take another test in Cambodia when I arrive and show them the test I just had the day and a half before? . Just sit in the airport until that result is in? And that's it? Thanks .

Make a video about Royal University of Phnom Penh. It's my favorite public space. I'm sure you'll like it too.

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

Thanks. I'll check it out.

This is probably a way too late to reply but at 12:08 the guy is saying "yes sir, if you're interested you may come and take a look"

[@KhmerMinnesnowta]

Can't go wrong with Aah-Blaad. Enjoy your moto and watch out those traffic cops for their small fees . Honda 4life!

Great Vart......

[@kevinmoore4570]

Ryan, my wife and I watched this video, as we do, and were wondering if we should still take care and comb out hair?

[@itchyfeetonthecheap]

Definitely do both those things. Taking care is the most important part, but if you just take care and you don't comb your hair, then the taking care won't be as effective.

[@kevinmoore4570]

@@itchyfeetonthecheap this is hilarious, thanks Ryan!

[@DilbertCronicles]

If you think that the pronunciation of "Airblade" is skewed... try "Prius" if and when you decided to get a car..

[@robmason8505]

Perhaps I missed it but everyone beware of dealerships and bigger companies trying to charge a $100 foreigner fee in addition to the cost of the motto. Two Honda dealerships tried this with me and I refused. Smaller dealers are happy to just to make the sale.

DO NOT ride with ur headlights on during the day or u will get a ticket...its a scam, just a heads up

The rule is that only VIPs can use the headlights during daytime. This rule has been aCambodia for at least 20 years. I'm have only been caught and fined once.

@@mikebaker7522 i have also been fined...and negotiated the fine...which is why I said it was a scam, lol.

[@kdamprae4236]

Why do you know there is a dispute with Vietnam it is right but most people just wanna get on with their life . Most Vietnamese stuff that import to america and the west are decent but they import cheap sucky things to their neighbors so that is why there is a stigma about it . And the irony is the shop owner you bought from were Vietnamese . (Tbh if we Asean peninsula were industrialized earlier we would have been the next Balkan peninsula )

Air blade consume much more gas than others, so Cambodians don't like it anymore.
