The Frugal Vlog - E54 - Enjoying My Last Meal in 🇰🇭 Siem Reap

[@mst6429]

Stayed in Thailand in the 90s and had no problems but Cambodia is the future. For anyone trying to pick i would suggest 1-3 months in different locations and decide for yourself.

[@FrugalWanderer]

Yeah. I think that is my plan. I have been contemplating my next step and I am thinking of heading back to Siem Reap and see how I feel there after a few months.

[@TwoMadExplorers]

Another fantastic adventure! Very enjoyable and natural on camera too 👍

[@FrugalWanderer]

Thank you very much. That means a lot coming from you guys. I try my best to be comfortable in front of the camera, but some days the inner introvert wins out and I can't do it. Haha

[@MrBlackReviews]

yay. i’m finally on to this!!!!

[@FrugalWanderer]

It is great to see you here. I hope that you enjoy my content even half as much as I enjoy yours. Thanks for coming out. I appreciate it.

[@cryptotrader2779]

Always nice to find our own "happy place". Looks pretty chill I have to say.

[@FrugalWanderer]

Yeah. I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did. I can't wait to get back.

[@w.m.p-w8989]

Enjoyed your Cambodian series... Just subscribed...

[@FrugalWanderer]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. There will be a lot more Cambodian content since I just came back and plan on staying for quite a while. It's a lovely country and I really enjoy it here.

[@FetchTheCow]

It's good to see you so content. Also, I'm impressed by your use of dissolves instead of jump cuts. I wish more KZbinrs had a good sense of production values.

[@FrugalWanderer]

I was absolutely content in Siem Reap. It was an amazing place to visit and I can't wait to get back there. I'm glad that the dissolve transitions work. I also do not enjoy the jump cuts I normally see in most KZbin videos. I'm not sure if I'm showing my age, but they are too jarring for me and tend to distract me. Thanks for the feedback my friend. It's always appreciated.

[@franclyspeaking]

LESGO!!! Happy days!! We were just talking about Siem Reap and how much we miss it. And seeing you sat by the river on a beautiful night makes the yearning grow stronger! Super happy you enjoyed it there 😊

[@FrugalWanderer]

It was way beyond anything I was expecting. I miss it terribly and I can't wait to get back there in a little while. It was just what I needed. I'm glad you both enjoyed it too. We will have to hang out there someday soon.

[@franclyspeaking]

@@FrugalWanderer Not too long though! We are too, never expected to enjoy as much as we did, but some places just have that effect. Hope so! Sooner rather than later!

[@w.m.p-w8989]

Hope to make the Kingdom of Wonder my home soon..

[@FrugalWanderer]

I hope that for you as well. Fortunately, I was able to do this for myself last week. I am very happy to be back. I really enjoyed my time here before and I missed it when I was back in Thailand.

[@Driver2724]

Nice video you eat healthy smart wise man

[@FrugalWanderer]

Thank you. I am eating way healthier here than I did back home in Canada. It is easier to do here when you can get healthy options for so cheap. I love it here.

[@Driver2724]

@@FrugalWanderer can I live comfortably simple life to retire in seim reap with $1000 per month I am 63 years old from usa ..

[@FrugalWanderer]

Yes. I am spending less and living a way better life here than I did back in Canada. You can easily spend that much, but you just need to be mindful of what is important for you. For me, local food instead of western food saves me a ton of money. It's healthier and way more delicious for me. Plus I don't drink or smoke. So that's not a concern for me. My favorite entertainment is seeing a movie for $2.50 every week. They have lots of interesting films and the theater has ac to relax in for a few hours. It's great.

[@VideoHitz2023]

You can still see the same French colonial influence in the architecture! The food looks tres yummy!

[@FrugalWanderer]

The architecture was definitely appealing to me. Having lived in Montreal for a few years, I do enjoy the french influence. The food was amazing and I can't wait to try it again soon.

[@VideoHitz2023]

@@FrugalWanderer Can’t say I blame ya! You’re having the time of Riley over there!

[@mimibigdy1917]

Cambodia has the best VISA for retirees for long term without monthly VISA run. You can live in Siem Reap and visit Thailand and other SE Asian countries any time.

[@FrugalWanderer]

You are reading my mind. Haha. That is my plan. I just got back to Siem Reap the other day. I have found a delightful little apartment to rent for three months and I'm going next week to get my visa submitted. I am looking forward to this being my home for the next while. I really love it here.

[@NS-ve4ms]

I lived in the praires where the air is so dry, you could taste the dirt and dust. My skin cracked all the time and hated the feeling of cream on my skin. Now living in a humid area and appreciating it much more as I don’t have to worry about rubbing lotion on.

[@FrugalWanderer]

I lived in Alberta for a couple of years and I remember how dry it used to get. I prefer living with humidity for sure. There are days that it gets to be a bit much, but I wouldn't go back to the arid weather if I don't have to.

[@somasoms8721]

@@FrugalWandererI bet it can get unbearable. My skin is happier now in natural air moisturizer 😊

[@FrugalWanderer]

The humidity is my friend in that way, it hates me when I want to go for a walk and it makes me feel like I am swimming while walking. Haha

[@NS-ve4ms]

@@FrugalWanderer I can totally relate. My first month was unbearable back in the east coast. I remember every during my walks, I could vividly see in my head my arms in swimming motion. LOL. I barely notice now. When I do, I appreciate that I don’t have to rub lotion on. 😊

[@danwilliams8695]

Couldn't handle SEA w/o ac. I'd never be able to sleep with the heat.

[@FrugalWanderer]

I understand this very well. Having a nice fan definitely helps keep you cool, but it's so much nicer to have AC instead. I put the AC on a timer here. I have it in while I fall asleep and then it slowly warms up as I am getting up in the morning. I have found my balance I need.
