I love your travel videos! Unfortunately I can't travel at the moment but your videos are a good alternative

[@BuffertheTourist]

Thank you so much. I’m so glad you like them.

I feel the same!

I've been sold on Siem Reap as an ideal retirement destination for about 3 years now. You did 'nothing' to ruin that belief ! --- Expats rave about it often - many if not most as a tourist destination though. Younger digital nomad types apparently get a bit bored and move on to the Capital for more 'excitement' ! Older people seemingly don't require the extra excitement. Low cost of living and a tremendous food selection combine to appease most elderly - and the city has about all the necessities expats would want ? --- My pick overall - when the "retirement visa" for 55 and older expats is considered ! No other country I have found in the world is more friendly for retirement. 👍 ❤ ✌ 🙏 👌👋 👊 🍺

[@BuffertheTourist]

Good call. I love it and there’s plenty of excitement for me.

[@jpants5144]

@@KB3TLE lot of poverty there, it’s in your face, I found it pretty heart wrenching, kids in rags not going to school. Hard to enjoy life in such surroundings.

Great video Buffer. I love your respect for the locals and your grasp of history and the culture. I wish all Americans represented themselves so well in foreign countries as you do. Please be safe in your journeys and enjoy. :)

Thanks brother!

The money situation is actually pretty simple. Leave the That baht out of the mix - very few people use baht in Cambodia. Cambodia doesn't use coins like Thailand which makes things simpler. I hate dealing with a pocket full of coins. Cambodian currency 101 - Here are the denominations of Cambodian currency and their U.S. equivalents: 100 riel = about two and a half cents. 500 riel = 12 and a half cents 1,000 riel = 25 cents 2,000 riel = 50 cents 5,000 riel = a buck and a quarter 10,000 riel = two and a half dollars 20,000 riel = 5 dollars 50,000 riel = 12 and a half dollars There are a few other oddball denominations, but like a 2 dollar bill, you don't see them out in the wild very often. Wrestle with the numbers above for a bit and it all starts making sense (no pun intended). The key is to remember that 4,000 riel equals 1 USD, and that 1,000 riel equals a quarter. Note: These numbers aren't exact, but good enough for day to day transactions. The current exchange rate is 1 USD = 4,070 Cambodian riel. Pro Tip: Try to keep some smaller bills on you (500 riel to 10,000 riel, and/or $1 and $5 bills) If all you have on you are $20 or 50,000 riel notes, many vendors will have a hard time making change.

[@anthonycoleman1909]

Good comment and very accurate. My issue is that I then have to convert the USD to AUD to actually see what I am paying. So a 10,000 riel beer, is $2.50 USD which is $3.75 AUD. I feel like Rain Man constantly doing calculations in my head. But its all cheap, so doesn't really matter

[@BuffertheTourist]

Great comment and not having coins is nice for a change (pun intended).

[@AAWGASHTADS]

I just drop the conversion gymnastics . It's like comparing kilos to pounds or anything else . I'm not buying pounds I'm buying kilos and I'm not spending $'s I'm spending Riel . I'm in Cambodia I use Riel and that's that . If my budget is 6 Million Riel a month then that's what I keep an eye on

[@coreana.aesthetics]

So many friendly people there. I love Siem Reap.

[@sonievkay]

if they don’t say it’s thai, it’s not thai, it’s khmer food. and insects was never apart of khmer culture, until pol pot when people were eating just about anything they could find. after pol pot fell, insects slowly became apart of the culture solely because of memories from the people who lived it.

[@BuffertheTourist]

Thanks. Very interesting.

[@sokpisethlalalanno]

What do you like more about Siem Reap than Phnom Penh?

[@BuffertheTourist]

That’s a tough one. I’ve spent way more time in Siem Reap and it seems much more compact and manageable. However, the nightlife in Phnom Penh is much better.

[@KimKinal]

those pulltape beer can have reward. You can win a a free beer, a 5$ up to a car. look carefully, you might get lucky
