Claire and Jeremy. Thanks for another great news moto. Having visited the Kingdom several times over the past decade I have witnessed the general growth of the economy and the lifting of people from poverty. But the growth has been very uneven. There has been a dramatic rise in the number of luxury cars in Phnom Penh but still many people relying on bicycles with a seeming lack of a “middle class”. There is still much that needs to happen to ensure that the increasing wealth is shared throughout the Kingdom.

@ForRiel 2 ай бұрын

Yes, but some of that wealth does trickle down. With new investment in manufacturing jobs, we think Cambodia will steadily improve 😀

@Hea9lt9hy9 2 ай бұрын

Cambodia just reduced poverty in half… government needs more time and international investment/ resources to reduce more… $$$ is tricker down…

@robertdunstan2911 2 ай бұрын

I live in Kampot and have done so since before the Sea Horse was built. I watched it grow, finish. It opened a few days before Khmer New Years and has been a smash hit for Kampot from the start. You especially notice it on weekends as often riverside drive is at times gridlocked or very close to it. There seems to be no end to the visitors, but most are locals. It looks especially beautiful at night. It has been great for Kampot businesses. Please just keep doing what you're doing. :)

Great to see the lush green environment after that much needed rain. Nice ride. Good to hear about the lessening poverty rate. Smallholding rice farmers get a bit left behind as the economy modernises, but I would rather see subsidies than industrial scale farming. I hope the clean-up will include the piles of asbestos from all the renovations. Keep well

Hi Clare, another great video. I have a quick question. I am an American and currently have a condo in Thailand. In November I will be coming to Phnom Penh for a week on Holiday. I would like to open a bank account at ABA bank when I come for my future retirement plans. Do I need a special kind of visa to open a bank account or can I just bring cash and open it on a tourist visa. Your advice is much appreciated. Thanks… and have a great day.

Hi Claire, off topic but I have a couple of questions, if I may. First, you mentioned a place on one of your videos (maybe from a year ago?) that was a good place to touch down on arrival. I want to say it was about $160 USD a month? Also, I have never been a fan of lager, I much prefer ales, particularly stout and porter. Are these readily available in bars and stores? TIA, I'll be coming to SR in October when my lease is up here in Thailand.. Cheers.

@ForRiel 2 ай бұрын

Yeah that's the one. I don't know if it's still operating as they were trying to sell it. Stout is readily available in the supermarkets, not so much in restaurants and smaller bars. The stouts available are a mix of local and imported ones. Hanuman Black is quite nice!
