Is It Worth It To Travel To Phnom Penh, Cambodia? | Top Attractions, Khmer Food + Tourist Safety
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 янв 2023
- Phnom Penh was not that popular of a tourist destination in South East Asia for the last few decades, but things are changing now and changing quickly. As the capital city of Cambodia and home to over 2 million people, Phnom Penh is an up and coming SEA hub city that I think has a lot of potential and more to explore than meets the eye. Join me and my Dad as we show you around some of the top attractions in the city, try some traditional Khmer food and talk about how we feel as tourists in the city. Hope you enjoy the video and find it helpful!

The travel health insurance I use - PassportCard Nomads: www.passportcardnomads.com/?r...
*I highly recommend this travel health insurance because you don't have to pay out of pocket for your medical expenses and they have very reasonably priced long term plans. You can buy the packages for shorter trips as well, but they're especially fantastic for digital nomads and nomads who want regular health insurance when they are abroad. I am an affiliate of this company, but of course use the plans myself.

Just before I visited Cambodia in 2001 they installed the very first escalator in the country!! There were zero high rise buildings that I saw. It really has come a long way. Which is great as I love the Cambodian people for being so friendly and welcoming. Happy Travels
I recommend going to Phnom Penh to everyone
I had an awesome time
I had my own special tour guide lol
Lol wow lucky you
@@AlinaMcleod He is very lucky indeed to have such wonderful daughter.
Thanks for sharing your video again Alina i escape from Cambodia to Thailand in 1979 and 1983 i immigrated to Montreal Canada 🇨🇦 the last time i went back to Cambodia in 2016 Alina just stay away from the bad areas in phnom Penh and the khmer peoples is very nice peoples and i always want to go back Cambodia my retirement is coming very soon i plan to stay in Cambodia between November to March April i come back to Canada to see childrens and my grandchildrens and also I'm happy to your dad travels with you to see world and also sometimes i just don't want to think the passed during the khmer rouge regime very bad my mother and my brother and relatives died alot during that time thanks again Alina enjoy your time with in my country Cambodia take care bye from milton Ontario Canada
Oh my gosh, I am so sorry about everything you and your family went through. It is truly so tragic. I'm glad you are living in Canada now and can retire in Cambodia when it suits you. All the best to you!
I’m Cambodian and I’m also a State Trooper of the state New York,USA
It looks absolutely beautiful. Love the architecture. 👍😊🇮🇪🇰🇭
As an expat resident of Phnom Penh I thought this was a fun and informative travel overview of PP. It touched on the main areas and attractions that are available to a visitor. There is certainly a lot more to see and explore than what is in the clip but well done Alina and your dad for opening travelers eyes to what they could see if they visit Cambodia. A lot more people are coming here now.
Thank you very much!
Your Dad is such a good travel buddy! Thanks for sharing some of the history of the city. It’s so important to know the history good and bad of a location to get a deeper understanding of a country and it’s people! ❤
I really hadn't heard much about Cambodia since the days of Khmer rouge. Your first video in country shows a stunningly beautiful city with gorgeous palaces and temples. You present a vibrant and modern city. This is definitely moved on to my must visit list based solely on your presentation. A well done video, but then why would I expect less.
Thank you and I'm very happy to hear that!
I am first time seeing someone with their father doing vlogging > I like you do this. Enjoy
Those are hornbills. There are a lot of them at Wat phnom. They are friendly. They will come to you if they see you bring fruits.
Those birds that you saw at Wat Phnom are actually owned by a governor (I forgot his name). He owns 30+ of those birds and they’re often seen flying around the city.
I was born in the 80’s in a refugee camp on the Thai border, my family directly impacted by the Khmer Rouge. Finally making the journey home with two kids in tow. Thanks for the tips! Dad should have tried the snail!!
It's such a special thing to get to travel with family. I love that your dad participated in the video!

@@AlinaMcleod thank you🙏❤
I just love watching you & your dad. He's a real trooper; doesn't talk too much, enthralled by everything. How lucky to have a daughter who wants to travel with him.
Much nicer looking than on the TV in the 1970's. Much nicer situation too.
You are constantly educating me on your channel that's why I love watching it..Beautiful Cambodia with a sad History😞..x
Great video. Cambodia is on my list of countries to visit! Thanks for sharing.
PP is expanding rapidly. More and more developments is changing the landscape every year. I went there last year and was quite surprised how fast things were changing.
I felt so happy that you love and look after your father very good.
I can’t wait to see your next video about Cambodia from Siem Reap and beaches site❤
Dear Alina. With your Dad accompanying we can all see your inner glow. This is special. All the Dads watching at home are smilin'.... Its a real pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you.
Welcome welcome to Cambodia 🇰🇭🙏🏻❤️
Great video. As always.
Welcome to Cambodia. And thank you for your traveling to my country. Enjoy
These birds are hornbills. I'm a Khmer Canadian who has not been back to my country of origin yet. Hope to snowbird there one day when retired.
I was there in 1964. There was one French hotel on the river, can’t remember the name of it. The rooms had mosquito nets all around the beds.
Alina, another travel video hit out of the park! Fantastic videography, beautiful sites, interesting information,and awesome travel tips. Cambodia is a jewel! Thank you again for allowing me to tag along. I can hardly wait for the next adventure. God bless!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

Thank you so much sister for your visit and sharing about my country ❤️🇰🇭 Welcome to Cambodia ❤️
the birds are called Hornbill. One interesting fact about this bird is Hornbills are mate for life. They always fly as a couple and I enjoy seeing them do that when I drove my motorbike past Wat Phnom area.
Happy New Year Alina! Lovely palace and you explain the importance well. 💚💚💙💙
Welcome to Phnom Penh…!❤🎉
2:10 The Royal Palace looks amazing! It does also remind of The Grand Palace at Bangkok. 😱👍

Alina, your description is very accurate about the Khmer Rouge. I am impressed by you young Lady. Well said. Oh my God I want some of that fish Amok, have not had it in a long long time. Can't find any in Chicago.LOL
Thank you Alina.
Glad to see you’ve brought your dad along with you through out your journey, didn’t see that very often.
your travel doesn't only show the attractions of Cambodia and its cultural difference but it also reminds me of the country becoming one of the important facets of world history, thanks so much.
Yes. While in school, I don’t recall countries like Cambodia were ever talked about in World History class. Because of the genocide, it definitely should.
@@mikewhocheeseharry5292 genocide issue had become a part of debate discussion when I was in high school. According to a datum presented in one of the debates, I realized Cambodia is at par with Bangladesh genocide, and Nazi against the Polish in term of the number of victims which indicates at about 3,000,000. The country has regained its identity and integrity into the modern era which I also think is the reason why Cambodia is currently one of the most visited tourist spots in South East Asia.
Will be visiting cambodia very soon...your video is highly informative...thanks
Great Vlog. Love it.
Going in 3 weeks. Will pretty much go where you guys went. Thanks a lot.
The food looks amazing, Alina.
It absolutely was!
Thank you for sharing so many great places. Always watching your shows from my new home in Kuching Sarawak
Wow! Good on you for visiting Cambodia!
Beautiful structures as well as the delicious looking local foods in this video captivate my attention and interest. I like the content of this video a lot.😀👍👍
Beautiful people in beautiful country !
Thank you dear Alina and Dad. You both always brings positive vibes with every single attraction of the spots in the videos you present... May good health and happiness be yours. May god bless you both forever and ever. Aamiin. 🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
Thank you very much!

Enjoy your time together. I can't wait to watch your next video! 😍

God morning sister Alina thanks for sharing this vidio God Bless yuo and yuor father
The great hornbill (Buceros bicornis), also known as the concave-casqued hornbill, great Indian hornbill or great pied hornbill, is one of the larger members of the hornbill family. It occurs in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is predominantly frugivorous, but also preys on small mammals, reptiles and birds
Thank you so much, super informative, I'm going there on Tuesday just booked my bus ticket and hostel is I'm excited!
Hello Alina it's a nice video i like it so much, i hope you a good times in cambodia,
Love father and daughter doing the tour together very inspiring.
Brown is a high end cafe, it's considered the Starbuck of Cambodia. so it's a bit more expensive than others.
