I’m so glad to hear lots of foreigners mention about friendliness of Khmer people. Without any doubt, we are among in the list of being the friendliest people in the world. As you can see the smiling faces of bayon temple’s towers mark as the exact evidence of this characteristic since ancient time.

Thank you for spreading love and the true of Cambodia 🇰🇭 to the world. ❤

The neighboring countries don’t want tourists to visit Cambodia. They still relate Cambodia as a war torn country. But Cambodia is a gem in Southeast Asia.

I've been to Cambodia 5 times, best kept secret, so much history, food, culture and friendly people.

Thank so much chai for your effort making such a great interview ❤🇰🇭🙏 Cambodia and my people will keep developing year after year

Phnom Penh looks beautiful

cambodians treat thais better in in cambodia than vice versa. khmers get discriminated in thailand and looked down upon. this has been happening for centuries. asians tend to be hierarchal and pick on the guy lower on the totem pole. we won't be below them much longer. anyone that has been around cambodians know that we have the right mentality and drive to uplift our country. it was only because of the war set us back and only ended in 1999.

You just made me , miss my home country even more . I living in Germany but my heart ❤️ always in Cambodia

Hello! As a citizen here i'm very proud to call this my home. Yes, there are a lot to improve on but compared to let's say 10 20 years ago it's great. I'm interested in the videos that you made, if you are interested we could meet up in phnom penh and i could give u a close up insight of what we Cambodians think of cambodia's history, culture etc. Thanks for clearing the negativity around cambodia!

Again good perspectives - Phnom Penh - happy vibes for sure - Super Chai 😃👌👋👍🙏

Chai , you’re proving Thais wrong about Cambodia 😂 Thank you for speaking out the truth about Cambodia and its people.

Excellent interviews in this vlog ! The perspectives James offered were quite valuable. My first visit to Thailand was in 1982. I lived and worked in Thailand for 11 years 1994 - 2005. My daughter is Thai (dual national). I raised her in the USA since she was 5 years old (she's now 22, university grad and working in NYC). I'm returning to SE Asia in 5 months... but to Cambodia...., not Thailand... for the very reasons James began to mention before you stopped him. I enjoy your channel, thanks.

Always a winner these Capital City interviews. As usual packed with interviewees with so much to offer. Brilliant work Chai. Cheers and stay champ 🤩

Thanks so much Chai enjoy watching your videos ❤❤❤Love from California

wow! nice to hear opinions about PP. I´ve visited there 3 times and still miss it.... City is developing very fast.

Well, great place to go, I appreciated your great job !! I enjoyed watching completed. Thanks

Hello, Chai! I truly appreciated your compliments even from other people. I really hope you enjoy the rest of the day spending time in Cambodia. Very glad to see you being happy in Phnom Penh and other cities in Cambodia! Keep up the good works on the videos you're making! ❤

We’re already here to welcome people around the world come to visit our Cambodia , 😊

Chai, I’m Cambodian living in the US; just wanted to say I enjoyed your show very much. The reason why Thailand is full of negative towards Cambodia is its history, rivalry and egotistical. History: as a refugee during the KR, Thais military mistreated a lot of refugees; rivalry & egotistical: Thailand never been colonized by outsider, so it’s their right to be prideful about its history. Most Thais who said Cambodia is not good to visit is they never step foot in Cambodia.

អរគុណសម្រាប់ការជួយផ្សព្វផ្សាយប្រទេសខ្ញុំ Thank you chai for sharing our country to the world and hope you’re enjoy it🇰🇭🙏💖

Thai people look down on Cambodia on general , not all of them. I think in general thai look down on their neighboring countries like Laos, Burma, and Cambodia cuz we have lower economic than them. But now, we are much more advance used to, and continue to grow. Infact, a lot of ppl refer to Phnom Penh as Bangkok like 20-30 years ago. Cambodia and Laos are beautiful countries!

Thanks you so much Chai Travel that you You share real good and bad things about Cambodia to all foreigners to the world to know . LOVE YOU CHAI TRAVEL 💖 From Cambodia people 🇰🇭🙏

Im cambodian. I really like ur videos. I always love to hear opinions from foreigners. hope to hear more about Cambodia❤

Thanks again for the vid, Chai 👌🏻 I'm gonna put myself out there a little bit by saying that my recent trip there was way off what I was expecting, I feel like I didn't get value for money like I do in Vietnam and was shocked at how expensive things have become for travellers, agree that the people are lovely and my interactions with them were the highlight, looking fwd to the next vid!

The last time I was in Cambodia was in 2002 and the Sorya shopping center just opened in Phnom Penh. I think it was the first mall/building in the country with escalators. When I went there for the grand opening all of the locals that were there had no idea what an escalator was and how to use them. What a weird site it was. There was also only a handful of traffic lights in the entire city and garbage piled up everywhere. Now PP looks like any other city in SE Asia.

Thank you sir for making videos about Cambodia, keep up your good works.

There some Thai actor's and singer's in Cambodia like loar hour YAYA and Cambodians love and adore them but being Cambodian in Thailand is a whole different story. A sad story 😭

Nice in Phnom Penh city and excellent interviews in this vlog !

Phnom Penh looks less hectic than Saigon… very inviting. 👍🏻😊

Some Thai not all . I also have a few Thai friend they good people . Only some they have mental cultural problem. that talk shit about cambodia.

We are not having BTS or MRT yet but our city is silent compare to other stress environment❤ warm feeling people around feel like home

first time i went to phnom penh there were unpaved dirt roads in the city center, not the major roads but some of the side streets. the tallest building in the city was Sorya Mall which is 7 floors tall, and there was nothing built on the other side of the river at all. can't remember the year exactly, think it would be about 2005

Hi there! I love ur video and the third person you interview are James we call him teacher James and remember he said that he teach an international school? Yep that’s the school I’m in and that the worst part teacher James had left at June 14 2024 it is a sad news and that just 2 days already I miss him… a lot he was our best English teacher he always make us laugh and that the fact that he say that our class were the best and also… I would like to thank you a lot because this video is the only video where I could see the face and hear the voice of the world best English teacher in history thank you for all of this and welcome to Cambodia ! :D❤

I went to Phnom penh twenty years ago.I found many foreigner at there which I think they work on international organization.

thank you for very nice video Welcome to Cambodia 🙏❤️❤️🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭❤️❤️

Was wild west in the past and so as for today, very different.:-)

Het is weer geweldig kerel, good questions !!

The young man from Wales at the end, “Travel. Your money will return but your time won’t.” Yes, do it if you can, but also plan for your future and take responsibility for life. I guess try to make money in it traveling if that’s the lifestyle you want. For me, there’s only a couple places I want to see. I’m comfortable setting in my own place and not having to live from a hotel to hotel.

I want to go there in Cambodia after 5 years. 😄

Good interview!

Beautiful be safe

Thank for visiting our Country. Stay safe 💕

អគុណច្រើន។

Thanks Chai for this interview.

អគុណបងឆាយ🙏

Thank bong , For sharing about us

I am so happy Cambodia survived Covid, but I'm not quite sure about the facemasks out in the open air??😊 I lived in PP for 10 years, and now it has changed😢I not sure if I could live there for another 10 years. The ppl are friendly, but a lot are shy😊but it's certainly worth a short visit.😂

Nice video ! Thanks :-) I was wondering, what camera set up do you use ? Thank you

It's rather silly to compare countries as each has their own economic, political, culture and traditions. Better or worse is a 100% personal choice based on infinite personal reasons. All places are uniquely good and have something to offer.

Thanks you in Cambodia Chai,🥰

ការដើរបណ្តើរសម្ភាសន៍បណ្តើរ ជាមួយគ្រូបង្រៀន ពិតជាល្អខ្លាំងណាស់។ អ្នកមិននិយាយពីរឿងមិនល្អនៅថៃ 😅😅 ពិតជាគួរឲ្យគោរព។

As a Thai, I agree with you that there have been negative thoughts about Cambodia from Thais. It is due to the recent conflicts about cultures between both country's netizens on internet. The issue has been also exacerbated by Cambodia's government for patriotism as Cambodia is moving toward new national election. In my opinion, in terms of people hospitality, we Thailand are no different to Cambodia. Both countries share common cultures, religion and geography. I am glad to see good foreigner's experiences in all SouthEast Asian countries.

I like your video..thank you for your kindness tho 😊

The Khmer people are the happiest people around. The food is the best in southeast Asia

I feel that PP is developing but at a slower rate than other Asian cities such as Manila and Chongqing

OMG TEACHER JAMESSS MY COUSIN TEACHER IN MY SCHOOL

Great job Chai

I first went to Cambodia 20 years ago, have been back and forth over the years. Huge changes. Love Cambodia and its people.

This give a more Positive view off Cambodja. 🙏

THATS CRAZY!!!!!

Yeahh thank you so much chai. Every country always have good side and bad side I’m cambodian but i’m still forgive for Thailand that always make Cambodi look bad. Yeah Cambodia it’s not perfect country but the Cambodian people will welcome you with warm feelings ❤️

I liked the walking briskly interview. And wear more red, it works for you!

Thanks for your insights and what country are you from ? And what do think of Cambodia,yourself, after you have obtained many others’ opinions about Cambodia ?

Go build a house, Chai! And you'd get some great videos out of it. And think of those big muscles you'd come home with after hand-mixing all that concrete! Inona will love it. BTW, I didn't sent that image of the dark text as I noticed many channels are doing that, so it is something on my settings I think. Comes and goes, but then, my computer is often a mystery to me. Safe travels. Oh, BTW, I borrowed your "Subtitles in 12 languages" for my videos. I think a very good look. Please treat is as an homage. (:

Cambodia is nice country but i had bad experience about Cambodia when i was on holiday i go to masag the change my money put fake money money on my wallet just be careful the still your money

A pretty horrible place is Phnom Penh, particularly for people who like to explore the heart of a city on foot. The authorities need to start showing respect for walkers, be they locals or foreign tourists, and start uncluttering their sidewalks. Not all visitors want to ride around in tuk-tuks all day.

I lived in Cambo for almost a decade, it was a much nicer place in 2005 to 2012, one shouldn't form strong impressions about anywhere or its inhabitants in less than a month, also the political repression, extreme corruption, crime, and human rights abuses can only be ignored for so long

I visited Cambodia once in 2005 that was enough no desire to ever go back.

thanks u

Love your video 🥰 9:32 it’s 2023 and our neighbor is still keep coloring us. How many more year are you going to keep doing it. 😅 A Thai tuk tuk driver scammed the tourist in Thai and when the tourist ask where he from, he said he’s Cambodia come to work in Thai, and the fact that Thai’s law doesn’t allow foreigner to work as tuk tuk driver, so Thai police go to check on him, turn out he is Thai. Luckily the tourists is a vloger, if no Cambodia will be the on to be blame again.

Nice video.

8:08 he crossing the road like a pro

Nice❤

JUST FINALLY FOUND!!!!!!

nice video

OMG!!!

❤️😍😍

The Australian chick was sensational.

What changed In Phnom Penh? Large area developed into a Gambling area/village, by Chinese. Backpacker area "Lakeside" practically gone. Lake filled in and built on. Phnom Penh is a cool City. The only problem is the lack of decent quality Budget accommodation/ Dorms.

is internet access restricted there? Thanks!

just common sense, if people expected to be very nice and clean and very modernize then expect the cost of high living standard pretty much come with that, right?

Why would you advertise the killing fields as a tourist attraction. It’s the first thing people tell you to go and see when you arrive and I can assure you it’s not worth $2 tuk tuk ride. These places need actual attractions unfortunately there’s nothing really worthwhile there

ភ្នំពេញមិនទាន់សូវមានភាពល្អច្រើននៅឡើយ

Went in 2000 looks better now in some ways

Thailand ☕

Yo James is my teacher at school 😳

Where does the Khmer come from? For good understanding, I would like to present a fact that many people do not want to accept. We apologize here. This is something that Western historians have never researched or discussed. Calling the ancient Khom (Varman), the creator of Angkor Wat, as "Khmer" is absolutely incorrect. Because ancient Khom lost its name when the Khmer people (Mr. Sweet Melon) the slave leader who led the rebellion killed some of his masters and became king. For a long time, it was absurd to take over the temple city of Khmer slaves who could not find any reason and result at all to deceive each other in order to dispel the fact that they were the bloodline of slaves and the Khmer people could not give any reasonable answer. This is not possible at all. - Why did slaves become kings? - Why did the Khom dynasty disappear from history? Why did Lavo, the creator of Ayothaya, who was a relative or ally of Nakhon Wat, who had never fought a war, the slave rebelled and killed Khom Woraman Lavo, Ayothaya immediately raised an army to attack Nakhon Wat. After the slavery a man called Mr. Sweet Melon became king, and Nakhon Wat progressed to collapse. Then the Khmer people could not build or repair the stone castle again. Culture declined and compared to the contemporary kingdom after Nakhon Wat "Ayothaya and the neighborhood" and Ayothaya has great buildings with high art. Each neighborhood is almost no different from the forest people hiding in a bamboo fence without any buildings comparable to Nakhon Wat. For hundreds of years, the Khmer people have been weak and defeated.

Hy bro ..omi want to come in cambodia but i dont have pass vaccin ?

The only problem with Cambodia is people willing to pay double for a car export from other country which result in a bad investment. Such as some car like Ford mustang 2018 only cost around 15k in USA but after it import into Cambodia, the car price sky rocket into 35k and peoole are willing to buy it as well. That is such a big problem in Cambodia right now. I hope Cambodia will follow the European and Japanese when it comes to hatchback car with reasonable price so we can finally focus on what truly matters.

🇰🇭🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤you

I feel tried when you walk and asking question peoples. Its make me tried.

The reason why Thais are not happy with Cambodians these days because a lot of Cambodians accused Thailand of stealing their culture and Cambodians have the right to claim and use Thai costumes, culture, and everything. By the way, Thailand had control over Cambodia for hundreds of years and have been helping them financially until now in form of scholarships, financial aids, know-how, etc.

If you get time Silk Island is a good day, hand woven scarfs from their own silk worms.

Much less masks than Bangkok, good to see

I need a business invitation letter from Cambodia. Can anybody help?

Came to Cambodia to build houses? So Cambodians are incapable of building houses? Wow - sad.

dung duong thi se hai duoc nhieu trai ngot. vit lac bk thi cang ngay cang tuc toi do ky ma thoi DDD

😂 *promosm*

are you getting paid by thai companies? lol you were so afraid to step on any toes.. not even wanting James the interviewee to have his opinion about Khmer people being a "little" more laid back... which isn't even a controversial statement...

I hated kampot. Ugly, crowded, overpriced city, and for what you're expected to pay the quality is very low compared to other cities in Cambodia. However there are a lot of cool places to visit around the city such as the temple cave.
