Yeah, I agree. Just a bit sad for the kids. In Phnom Penh, kids slept outside, had abscesses on their ankles (check out the photos), and begged with their parents. Just on the other side, you saw the largest casino in this country, run by a Malaysian billionaire. There were many luxurious cars in front of it, some of which I only saw on TV. Backcountry kids walked lamely on scorching unpaved sandy roads with only one shoe. Teenagers sieved river shells in dirty water under the burning sun. Infants cried hard in those shabby stilted houses... too many to list and add to my video. Though they were happy, they deserved better living conditions and environments.
@Wufei22 Yeah, but you know, as a motorcyclist who mostly fancy about natural sceneries, I cannot delve too deep into politics, as poverty all eventually closely related to political issues, and even if I show the footage, I change nothing, only get myself stuck in debates, probably.
The Khmer built a canal from the gulf of Thailand to the Mekong, through Ok Eo, in the first century AD. The Bokor Phnom, or Funan period. Nice trip and narrative.
Wow, never knew that, fascinating history, wish I had learned more before my trip. Can't imagine how the locals constructed the Khmer Kingdom at that time, even maintenance today uses heavy machinery, how did the locals then finish the masonry work, incredible workmanship!
Thanks, didn't know an alternative😊. But for a motorcycle, I think it's overall okay as long as it doesn't lead me to a dead end, being in the backcountry can also be thrilling.😏
Most of them look poor , however , they enjoy the life of what they have.

You obviously haven't been there. Everyday life is a hunger struggle just for the most basic stuff.

@@XiaoweiVon fantastic hydrologists. Just finished my historical adventure novel about Jayavarman 2. A couple of years research. Interesting history.
@@grahamthompson2594 You are a historian, I bet, share the title when you publish that😁
Google is terrible for navigating in Cambodia. In cities it directs you around in circles and in the countyside it sends you down goat tracks.

You should hang out with Cambo Vlogs . An American that speaks really good Khmer
Appreciate it, thanks, should have done more research before this tour.😂
妳是不是中國人
哈哈,是的啊,我得长相难道是欧美😅😏
@@XiaoweiVon 有機會我推薦去臺灣騎摩托車環島那邊超級美麗我住過臺灣十年了
@@Advtaiwan 是的,希望有机会去,之前有个同事在台湾告诉我特别漂亮。
