- After a brutal journey in India myself and @baldandbankrupt needed a fun place to explore, welcome to Cambodia! We began a long journey around one of my favourite countries to the capital Phnom Penh however things in Cambodia don't usually go to plan...

Cambodia is poorer, suffered through a genocide and colonialism too. Yet the people are honest and not scammers, friendly, and the environment is kept clean despite lack of infrastructure and money. India should take notes
Poverty is just an excuse, it doesnt mean you can't be clean
India n indians will always be the same 😂
I bet you still get scammed in the lady bars.
16 million people vs 1.6 billion people
@@cordisdie8109 China 1.4 billion. Next excuse?
No poop , no honks , no jammed streets, no beggar and scammers, this is literally nice place

The Great Stink was an event in Central London during July and August 1858 in which the hot weather exacerbated the smell of untreated human waste and industrial effluent that was present on the banks of the River Thames. The problem had been mounting for some years, with an ageing and inadequate sewer system that emptied directly into the Thames. The miasma from the effluent was thought to transmit contagious diseases, and three outbreaks of cholera before the Great Stink were blamed on the ongoing problems with the river.🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@rahulmeena-iq1lv basically India today
I'm honestly deeply moved by the shopkeeper’s integrity and I respect his honesty 11:50
Imagine doing that in India, they will take everything
@@janai682 and give you diarrhea in return
and you are setting the people up to overcharge foreigners by paying five-fold the price
Believe it or not that is normal in Cambodia. Even the border guards who will happily get a few extra dollars from you don't usually take that much, despite this place being called scambodia. Even the bar-girls who will drain you of thousands if you're stupid enough, won't actually steal money from your wallet in their bar. But ice queens in your hotel room and cheap massage parlors are another thing, leave most of your money and phone in a separate location then.
That’s Cambodia for ya 👍
Respect to the Cambodian Railway
That train was very basic, but very clean and well kept!
มันเป็นรถไฟมือ2จากประเทศไทย ที่ประเทศไทยบริจาคไห้เมื่อต้นปี ไห้ไปทั้งตัวรถ และรางเพื่อเอาไปซ่อมรางเก่าที่ เป็บอย่างในคลิบ โยกไปมา
@@Power-t8j my thoughts exactly! 👍 😂😂😂
@@Power-t8j what info u get from mate ?
yeah and our local people dont use it for main road we only use bus or taxi, that's why it so old yet i hope we can get a new one soon
@@Power-t8j ummm 🤔. Yeah no, Thailand did not donate the train to Cambodia. Do not know where you got this info from. But it’s far off. The trains come from China and Japan. The only SEA country that donated and documented is Malaysia. Malaysia donated railway links to help Cambodia connect their trains to Thailand and Vietnam borders. You are a silly goose. 😂😂😂
Cambodian people look really friendly and honest people! Must visit that beautiful country!
Cambodians and Phillipinos are the nicest people!!!!
Compared to India, the train was on time, no one was pooping beside the tracks, it was almost spotless, it looks like complete paradise all the way around! what a great trip after what you went through before.
This place is a breath of fresh air compared to India
Anywhere is a breath of fresh air compared to india
28:34
The ending was a little fishy
Literally lol
India is a kip
Bald cuddling up to Ben is the ultimate thumbnail.
Its nice when men can be that comfortable lying next to each other
India is hell on earth, Cambodia I hear is actually pretty nice. I know a guy that rents out properties in the states and lives like royalty in Cambodia, he pays a fraction of what it would cost in the US for rent, has multiple bedrooms with a balcony and working hot water, bought a moped for only $50 and he said the market is extremely cheap and has clean food. Honestly, I've thought of doing the same.
nah cambodia isn't that good still many countries are better, but definetly compared to India lol!
If you go over to the subreddit called Cambodia, you'll actually realize that there are a lot of Americans having the same exact thoughts as you. The only "hard" part is that you need to have a plan, obviously, and a decent amount of courage, but once you finally decide to make that jump, it's actually not that bad haha. Like I said, you just need to get through the thought of "Should I actually do this?", and you'll see how great your decision was. Trust me, I've been living here for 10 years and it couldn't be better.
Ur fool to get knowledge from these videos. India is blessed to keep rotten people not visiting India. Indian are most successful in every part of world
@@d4rthvader-z1j Oh... Better? Well I often say to people there are 176 passports issued by different countries in this world and most people living in every one of those locations think they are in the best country in the world! Most people saying that, don't have a passport and have never been anywhere. The average punter is just wrong. Bearing that in mind I've been living in Cambodia for over a decade, perhaps I'm missing something, what countries do you think are better?
@@martinherald6492 I think most of Europe, Canada, Usa, Australia, and all other first worlds are better, but Cambodia is still better than all third worlds,
It was my pleasure that I met you both 👍👍
Massive thanks for your beautiful video about Cambodia ❤️ ❤️ 🙏🙏🙏
your country is beautiful, much love and respect from southwest usa
love from dublin
Respect from New York
Beautiful place. much respect from Colombia
i love how backpacker ben’s video are like a behind the scenes of mr bald’s video its truly amazing content from the both ❤
11:48 No, No ten thousand too much, that's shows you how honest and trustworthy Cambodian people is despite being poor
Cambodian people are lovely and trustworthy.
travelled the whole of Asia several times over, Cambodia is just awesome!
I love how they are still traumatised by India.
Haha that country stink
Who wouldn't be 😂
How not mate , it’s absolutely caos ,
Canada is seriously becoming the new India!😢 They just suddenly arrived and they are EVERYWHERE!!!! And if I say what disgusting bathrooms habits they have.. I’ll be deemed “racist” ffs! But it’s just gross, especially when you see it for yourself on the beautiful beach town I live in.. Let’s just say, I’ll never walk on my beach again without shoes, and I will be paranoid about where I step.. So so gross and barbaric 🤮
Yeah.. I’d NEVER waste my time and money in a cesspool like India!!! Wow!
Welcome to Cambodia & during Pchum Ben 🙏 Been my home for 11yrs now, still love it. Sad history, but beautiful & welcoming people. Enjoy your stay 🍻
🫶🏼🇰🇭loved it. Great country and people
They seem like such good people!
@@BackpackerBendo you like or hate the UK
In terms of GDP per capita, Cambodia is poorer than India but it's way cleaner! A country that recently went through genocide and is still recovering from the trauma is somehow cleaner than one of the biggest world economies. Just shows that even the poorest areas can look great if they're clean.
Indian subcontinent- india, pak, bangladesh are all the same. They lack Cleanliness and hygiene
🇰🇭🫶🙏💐
Cleanliness is inversely proportional to population density
@@steelisreal4313show me the DIRTIEST PLACE IN CAMBODIA mate i want to see it.
@@puneeth9b India ranks 6th lowest in World Population Review's Environmental Performance Index but is the 29th most densely populated country in the world.
Japan, South Korea and Singapore are more densely populated than India yet are cleaner
Angkor Wat in cambodia is an unforgettable temple. Its unbelievable
i like this country looks safe and clean
What a stark contrast between India and Cambodia.
Yeah because he filmed only Delhi and varanasi overcrowded parts in the urban old areas. He didn’t go to south India, Goa, Kerala etc. nor did he visit Rishikesh uttrakhand, Simla Himachal, Punjab, Ladakh even in the north which is a Himalayan regions .
@@Supremeleaderkimjongun0in other words, non-hindu majority areas of India? Right...
@@8SugarRayRobinson8 what are you smoking kid? Goa and Kerala south is HINDU MAJORITY, they have the most temples if anything and all women safe. Even Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Rishikesh uttrakhand. Yes crowded Delhi can be overwhelming
@@Supremeleaderkimjongun0 damn you called him "kid", i guess you win.
Yes thats true. Kerala has maritime influence, & Goa Portuguese.
The NE & Far-North have Tibeto-Burman cultures.
The most regressive, dirty, un-civic places are the 'Holy' places, full of sadistic repressed men.
I been hearing some American retirees now living in Cambodia because of the cost of living and friendliness of the Cambodian people
20 year old news flash.
Correct, specially in Siem Reap province, the Angkor Wat tourist sites, there are thousands of US retirement there.
Shout out to Cambodia amazing culture unique culture amazing people
Bald ducking down every 2 seconds so you can talk to the driver is peak content 😂😂
This is comedy gold content, Bold just bending over no ask.
he does it cause he's a nice guy, but yea it's funny, lol
Cambodia looks SO MUCH NICER THAN INDIA!!!
Yes and do you know why? Because people don't take a dump on the roads, in fields and nor on beaches. India is filth.
You like snakes??
@@kedukhorolnu7497there are snakes in India too
@@kedukhorolnu7497 snakes don't scam people
@@kedukhorolnu7497Snakes don't stink...
Cambodia is a poor country but despite that they try to keep everything clean unlike India
Population density and manners seem to make all the differance.
and civic sense too
cultural behaviors.
Yep. That’s why the US and EU are going to shit. They let in anyone if they request asylum. I say this as an American. People need to vote in better leaders.
Buddhists
nothing to do with pop density. its just cultures.
Arh man. I randomly drove a boat down the mekong river joining the tonle sap lake earlier this year. Great memories! Cambodia is fantastic 🇰🇭
Has bald had the same white shirt for 10 years?😊
Mind your own business!
And in that heat!
He needs surgical intervention to get it off at this stage
And his converse lol but he’s wearing flip flops atm
Well he is bankrupt
Thankfully! A real country, not an exploding toilet
this comment made me laugh
😂😂😂😂😂
Sounds like u were never there.
😂😂
Cambodia and Cambodian people are the best on the planet. Surprised you think they don’t speak much English, in the main towns and cities it’s widely spoken albeit basic. Never had any problems communicating though, the people are so friendly. Far above even Thailand and Vietnam
Cambodia is my fav place. The people are so kind and honest. Beautiful people ❤
Me too
Best country I've ever been!Love Cambodia from Nepal?
Welcome to Cambodia, you have come at one of the main festivals of the year, Pchum Ben.
Been following both of you for a few years now, YOU ARE BOTH LEGENDS
Watching that beautiful clean train, one wonders that its not poverty that india suffers from, but a mentality. The unhygiene conditions are not tollerable
India is Not for beginners.
Glad to have you in Cambodia! Wishing you a fun and safe journey throughout the Kingdom!
This video had me in stitches. The country and people look and sound awesome 👍
It's a holiday in Cambodia!
It's tough kid, but it's life!
🤣 Now there's a band I haven't heard in ages!
classic hah
🤘
Ok kid
Haha, yeah. That's the song where I heard of Pol Pot for the first time.
One of the best guys that ever worked for me was a short Cambodian dude who moved to the redneck area of Northern California when he was like 18. And he loved beer, steroids, trucks, and hated his wife. He was one of the coolest dudes I ever met. 😊
Zodiac?
@@erindunebuggy9772zodiac killer is a short cambodian? Wow.😮
@@erindunebuggy9772 no he chewed Grizzly, not Kodiak 😂
Ben is the type to rave about even the most basic facilities in Cambodia, so when he keeps complaining about India, it’s not that he’s being picky-India is just that bad!
he has been to India multiple Times and and made many positive videos. his first 200k subscribers were mainly Indians. he made his RUclips career by Indian views. he knows very well about best and the worst places in India. now he has hidden all his positive India videos and showing India worst way possible to rage bait Indians and gain views.
@at-lq5mh, actually, I think he made his career by travelling to obscure places across the former USSR.
Cambodia is way poorer than India too.
@@at-lq5mh The best and worst places in india are all the same and total shite.
@@Dharma_and_Ahimsayep, Cambodia is poorer but also cleaner too
2 Bens in 'Bodia! I am impressed and would love to go to Cambodia, as a tourist, not a back-packer.
11:44 "take 3 dollar! - no sir, it only costs 23 pennies and that's all i'm gonna accept from you" imagine that line being dropped in the usa.
not hard to imagine. You should travel to small towns in the mid west and south.
@@nunyabidnez5857 i'd certainly expect a different price level :) but i agree that general friendliness is more prominent in rural villages of central usa.
I've had similar experiences in Montenegro recently, little shops rounding down the price, taxis fighting not to take a tip, very helpful people. I've heard horror stories too but my experience was a joy.
Here in China there are 2 prices one for the locals and the other for foreign expats, I refuse to buy at the higher price
Yes they want 3000 rupees
I love how I can watch yours and mr balds videos and they feel so different, definitely isn’t a repeat of the same thing. Also watching you try to put the rain jacket on was very amusing 😂
🌴🌴🌴 what a beautiful country. I’m so glad that you got the heck out of India 🇮🇳. Please never go back!
Cambodia seems like they have a lot of honest people there. That has got to be the nicest train 🚂 that I’ve seen on your many tours.
I’m just curious 🧐 Where was Mr. Bald when you got a ride to the station??
Stay safe and healthy wherever you go. Thank you for your videos because with all of your hard work with editing…. I actually feel like I’m traveling with you.
Blessings from Paso Robles, California, Carlos 🙏😊❗️
They showed the wrong side of India on purpose. Look up Kerala or Goa in the south or Himachal Pradesh, rishi kesh or Simla Himalayan regions in the north along with Punjab
Cambodia, with its dark past is probably hardly the easiest country to travel in SE Asia, but seems like such a delight after India🙏
They lost 25% of their population and countless educated people so yeah its pretty unfair to judge them with incompetence for these shortcomings.
Thank You Ben Another Awesome and New Adventure by You and Mr Bald 🙂❤👍Cambodia is Beautiful 🙂❤👍
Love from Dublin Ben.Ive been making RUclips videos of my own recently,
thanks for the motivation keep doing what your doing brotha 👍
Wonderful video Ben. I've always wanted to visit Cambodia; even more so now after watching this.
Best place in Asia by far
Ben putting on that raincoat was way funner than it should have been.
Cambodia is my fav SE Asian country, the people are next level amazing with an horrific history
Ben Ben we've been waiting for this video mate❤
David is a legend! Hilarious u attempting to put on a plastic pink rain gear.😂 I can affirm how wonderful the Laotian, Vietnamese, Cambodian people are. My husband working as chef for decades at a Thai restaurant here in WA state. Kao and her family travelled from Laos back in the 70s attempting to avoid land mines , one took her foot, exploding. Meanwhile she is the most hardworking, down to earth woman ever. Much love to the Laotian, Cambodian and Vietnamese people. What they suffered is Inexcusable in the name of corrupt wars back before I was even born. ❤
So you live in Wa State of Myanmar?
11:32 ten thousand is too much....
damn. that level of honesty 🥺
Mind u 10k is 2.5$ only, the raincoat is 0.5😩
12:03 In India if you handover your wallet to local.. you didn't even get your empty wallet return😂😂 because scammers,, robbers do not return anything back😂
Ruthless😂
It’s even like that in Spain if you turn it over to gypsies.
I’m sure 😃
Thank for your video and share about CAMBODIA! I hope your video will provide a positive feeling and understanding from Viewer who may wants to visit CAMBODIA. :D
Great video--I'm going to Cambodia this coming spring.
This video is very much diametrically opposed to your Indian ones. The energy that you and Bald exude here is full of adventurous and joyous spirit in comparanda to the one both of you had in India. Looking forward to more videos to come, brah!
India is nothing but real hell.....and some aggressive ape evolved species live there but not humans
I feel sorry for ladies there....as they have to bear aggressive evolved ape males daily .
Cambodia looks pretty decent considering it’s been through a literal apocalypse
China? Russia? Ukraine? Bosnia? What apocalypse?
4:14 “What’s over there? Apart from some noodles… and a nappy.” 🤣
The India videos are an assault on the ears, so I enjoyed the more chilled out vibe this time.
Roosters 🐔?
One of the best and funiest ever video you guys have made together, thank you Ben & Ben! 😄
Even CAMBODIA seems to be 100 yrs ahead of that nightmarish country (Starts with an "I" and ends with "A") you had been recently .... :-)

Polpot was an evil psychopath. He traumatized the country for years, it was disgusting, sadly though similar regimes still exist and civilians pay the price 😢
They are recovering and it looks like the country has improved a bit.

And in March Holi festival..come to Northern part of India like Shimla, Kashmir, Ladakh, Uttarakhand, Udaipur - Best city in Asia is also known as Venice of the East to see snowy mountains and Himalayas because winter is coming it will be worth it I can guarantee you.. beaches like Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep. Don't go to trash places like Old Delhi..whole India is not trash ,there are few places but not all of India looks like it. You are always welcome 🙏🏽

As a seasoned traveller.. this is why I always end up in SE Asia or in Japan. Cambodia is one of my fav places.. don't forget to hit Angkor Wat! Myanmar is also nice.

"Recovering" in Thailand with a few massages isn't going to treat Tuberculosis 🤪
Goodness knows what you picked up in India if you were coughing up blood and "black stuff" 🤦🏼♂️
It is carbon from fumes
Ben the book 'The River of Time' by Jon Swain is an incredible read. It is his personal memoir as a journalist living in Cambodia during the 1970s when it was all kicking off over there.... It tells the history of that time but also about how he fell in love with the country and its people in the most turbulent time in their history..... You also have the Oscar Awarding winning movie 'The Killing Fields' - which is another true story....Jon Swain is one of the real life characters in the movie.
The thing I appreciate about your vids is the honesty. To hear other travelers, life is beautiful and perfect and no problems-rarely speaking about getting sick. I’ve been to India twice the past two years. Love my friends there and SOME of the food. But it’s so easy to get sick even as much as you try not to. So it’s very helpful to prepare travelers. And I hope the host countries don’t take it as an insult. But it’s simply honesty for we foreigners coming to visit.
True. India is a shithole for real. No one should be ashamed to say it. While it may be a beautiful place, it’s sorely lacking hygiene
How nice of Mr Bald to duck down for your conversation. He’s not all bad.
Brilliant mate, always wanted to go! Keep safe bro 🤙👊
Crazy how quite traffic is in Cambodia compared to India... crazy

They just need to tone down the honking

You are right, travelling in Southeast Asia is awesome. Decent hotels, fair prices, nice people and awesome food. The hotels in India really seemed to be overpriced or you just got scammed every time you were staying at one
The Cambodian people are so nice, one of my favourite countries, I hope you visit Thailand, I would love to see a Thailand adventure, maybe I'll see you there :)
so nice to have Ben to travel with, way better in life not to be all alone, I traveled the world alone, it sucks

Cambodia just imprisoned a journalist who reported on human trafficking through Cambodia to the enslaved scammers in the golden triangle. I have friends who have worked for years fighting human trafficking in Cambodia. It's a wonderful place, wonderful people, terrible corruption and unbelievable human rights abuses including rampant childhood slavery.
Human trafficking is massive in all of Asia. The ones you heard about are not the worst b
"Cambodia just imprisoned a journalist" Why did he go there?
There was a reason he was prisoned why don’t you elaborate ?
…for reporting on the rich Cambodian profiting from the human trafficking to Myanmar.
Yeah It's so corrupted here
Great work again Ben and Ben but can you make longer videos mate like 45 mins to an hour if possible. Cheers🍻
Stomach and chest pain in India and soon STD in Cambodia
Condom is for that things , so don’t worry 😂
Only if you go after "bar girls" plenty of regular beautiful women.
Wow, was in Battambang maybe 15 years ago and there was no train at all! Only option was boat to Siem Riep. Did a lovely motorbike tour of the countryside which was lovely!
Cambodia: a jewel of a country and the people are wonderfully friendly and cordial. What a beautiful place.
Enjoy your time in Cambodia 🇰🇭
Quality, cheers Ben
I follow bald for many years and it is the first time I see your channel. I must say that you have a very kind and friendly soul. Keep spreading the kindness. Good bless you for helping African kids with school facilities.

I am 13 minutes in, and so delighted to see you and Bald again! You both look so much happier and more peaceful ... thank you for the warnings about travelling in India. I won't go there, that is for sure!
Yay, is Ben & Ben. You’ve just made my day with your video. And hey, this video is way too quiet, I need some honking ….. lots of it…. 😂
You must be an Indian..
Loved every second of this ❤️
Yes Ben 🎉
Excellent stuff, you have to keep travelling together its hilarious
good to see you in my country again.
Cambodia was one of my favourite countries, if you head south to sihanookville you’ll find an island called Koh Rong, fantastic spot. Btw there are 2 islands one is a party island and the other is a lot more peaceful. Either way it’s a nice break away.
