Visiting The Most Hedonistic Country On Earth (

Cambodia. I'm not sure what you've heard about this country, but after some stressful trips around the world, I needed a break. Cambodia has, well, an interesting reputation. A place where you can find almost anything! It even has one of the world's biggest wonders, Angkor Wat! Perfect place for a little vacation. Sure, there's a lot of shady things that have happened in the country as well, but we were going to forget that for now.
I invited some friends of mine to join and we were off to try everything Cambodia had to offer, from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap. It was sure to be a very happy time.

There's still a lot of Chinese left but they seem to be very seedy and involved in a lot of scamming. I'm constantly hearing about murders, kidnapping, trafficking... The sleepy Sihanoukville you saw in 07 is long gone.

@@mrdm1967ify Its a completely different place. Utopia is now one of many grey buildings. The lions are still there but all around are just chinese stle half empty buldings and chinese shops. Same with Otres allthough Otres can be ok for a few days. The whole Ocheteul beach now is basically identical looking resteraunts. There are a few that never sold though. Khin shack is still there as in 07.

Cambodia is possibly the best country in SE Asia, no language barrier like Thailand/Vietnam/Myanmar etc because most Khmer speak English, Medical & Pharmacy/Drug stores everywhere with no prescription necessary, most Restaurants list Menu in Khmer/English unlike Vietnam & Thailand, the Khmer Rouge held back development of Cambodia so there are areas of the country which have not been westernized & a person can get a glimpse of real Khmer culture, in spite of the hardships these people have faced & continue to do so they are a warm & friendly people, Cambodia is definitely worth a visit!

@@user-qd4td7yb8e They did that for sure, & what a tragedy it all were & is to this day, I think Cambodia would have possibly been one of the most advanced places in SE Asia if KR did not happen, no other city in surrounding countries has such a nice riverfront area like in Phnom Penh, as well as the Siem Reap Temple Complex. Even though Thailand & Vietnam did not go through what Khmer have i still feel as a westerner that Cambodia is an good place to visit without language barrier like those 2 previously mentioned countries.
