Asking Strangers to Sleep in Their Home in Cambodia 🇰🇭

Tips: You can always ask a Cambodian house if you can stay overnight with them, they'll most likely say yes; that is if you don't mind the condition of their house. And they most likely feed you, too. It's a Cambodian custom and tradition. Worst case scenario, go to any nearby temple, they will let you stay and feed you. If they deem you a good person, they will treat you like a family member.

[@SteveYalo]

Amazing. I really appreciate that about Cambodian culture.

@sojeanify, you're right. If you are a good person, you won’t die homeless or without anything to eat in Cambodia. We Cambodians always share our food with others.

[@LessPisssssssssssssed]

Both of your parents must be very proud, to have raised such Extraordinary human beings. You two make me smile every time.

[@SteveYalo]

That’s very kind 😊 this made me smile

[@annnuzzo4586]

Yep proud momma here! Steven has always been a kind, appreciative person and I’m so happy he met Alana who has the same qualities!

Very lovely family. I wish we could have spent more time there

[@pakgcham2087]

Love you two. Your simplicity and sincerity melt the Cambodian population's heart. Be confident, you won't be lonely and scared there wherever you show up. A sincere foreign guest is always welcomed in a Cambodia countryside household. Thank you again for spreading the love.

[@SteveYalo]

Aw thanks 🥰

[@sonievkay]

it part of the culture. you can always ask the temple monks if you can stay with them. it’s common even for locals to stay at temples when they travel, especially outside the cities and into the more rural areas. however, in recent years, there has been some foreign tourists making it a little more difficult for temples to accept foreigners because they would take things with them that belongs to the temple. but like someone else in the comment section said, you can ask any family you meet if you can stay with them and most of the time, they will welcome you.

[@SteveYalo]

That’s good to know! Thanks for sharing. Sorry to head some foreigns taking things that belong to the temple.

[@leaptendo3859]

Good girl I think when she grow up she will learn more English because she speak very well when she was young and I want to say thank you guys for visiting Cambodia and I hope you guys enjoy thank you ❤️🇰🇭

When you talked about the Tuk Tuk tournament I thought it was just a Tuk Tuk racing, but this seems even more fun ❤❤

[@SteveYalo]

Yea, it’s a tournament with many challenges but my favorite part is that it encourages you to interact with locals. For this tournament we focused a little less on rushing through it to get points, and more on taking it slower and appreciating these unique experiences.

[@ngoytouch7722]

All Cambodian peoples are nice. I can say that…

[@SteveYalo]

All the ones that I’ve met are

[@maxxibro]

Khmer people have always been kind and welcoming to anyone. Many centuries ago, we offered many asylum-seekers from south China, but they mistreated us and decared independence and then fought against us. But this custom is still carry-on until today to always be welcoming to strangers and be kind. We have been through a lot during our past time, but we will not stop being kind to others.

That’s a very nice compliment :) I will continue sharing more videos. I was afraid of making them too long where people may lose interest but maybe I can start making them longer

[@BlackMatrix-pl4fe]

@@SteveYalo 1 hour is too long, it's better to keep it the way it is. Only people who are already watching your videos would watch a full hour video, for new people scrolling through...they would immediately pass it up (in my opinion).

[@mps-chords]

The host was very kind, and the kids were incredibly smart. When visiting rural Cambodia, you’ll always be greeted with smiling faces, and the locals are often happy to help you with food or even offer you a place to stay-provided you don’t mind their humble living conditions. One thing to keep in mind, especially when interacting with the elders, is that they sometimes say things that might sound blunt or teasing, but it’s never meant to offend. In fact, it’s often a sign of affection. For example, if you’re a bit chubby, they might playfully say "Kamab mab" (កាម៉ាប់ៗ), which literally means “you are chubby.” This isn’t body shaming or bullying; it’s simply their way of adoring someone, including foreigners and children. I also heard in the video, when the mother-law suggested you should get a haircut-it’s likely because long hair on men is uncommon in rural Cambodia. Again, this isn’t criticism but rather a reflection of their honest, affectionate nature. Understanding this helps you appreciate their warmth and sincerity, even if their words come across differently at first.

[@SteveYalo]

Thanks for sharing that insight into Cambodian culture!

Could you please answer one question for me? I am planning a trip to Cambodia next year. I don’t want to make a lot of hotel reservations as I want to keep my trip very flexible. I do plan to visit multiple cities when you applied for your visa prior to your trip did you have to have any reservations made so that your visa could be processed?

[@SteveYalo]

I only had one reservation, that was the first hotel I was staying in when I first arrived. I believe that’s the only thing they ask about is where you are initially staying.
