Because currently in Siem Reap, company are not allowed to build higher than Angkor Wat. But who know that might change in the future, still i hope this rule remains
Just imagine what Angkor Wat would have looked if the war didn’t happen. It was brothers against brothers at that temple which is why there are remnants of bullet holes. And looters scramble to saw off any statues to pawn them off. My grandpa was really close, maybe a few yards/meter away when he fought against the communist. He yelled “Do you want to eat my flesh? Why do you want to kill me?” at the communist. No replies back was when he realized the enemy he was fighting had no moral grounds. This is one of the reason why my family fled before the Khmer Rouge took over. My grandpa awareness was why my family is still here today. He didn’t want to leave his land, his livestocks, and his village like so many other Cambodians during this time period.
The eras of Cambodia genocide were not started during the Khmer Roug. Cambodia was under foreign occupation for more than 200 years before the 16 years of Norodom Sihanouk independent. The digging of the Vin-Te Canal era under Emperor Minh Mang was just as bad as the genocide during the Khmer Rouge era. Those in power during the Khmer Rouge were all descended from those had power during Cambodia was under foreign occupation before the French protectorate. This part of Cambodia history was the real responsibility for historian to tell, but its seem like every author truncated this part of history. After all the digging of the Vin-Te Canal was 30 year before the French protectorate in 1862.
Wow! That must’ve been an awesome experience. Siem Reap is definitely a hidden gem and super chill with genuine, nice people from our experience. Can’t wait to go back 🤍Thank you for your lovely comment!
I'm in Siem Reap right now. I arrived a few days ago. I like it so much better than Thailand. The only thing I don't like is being pestered by the tuk tuk drivers constantly. It's the slow season so they are desperate. When you say no thank you to the ride they then move into propositioning you with various illegal vices lol. Other than that this is a great place. If you come during tourist season I'm guessing you won't run into this problem.
In the west. Speak for your own country. Schools outside usa have some really good standards. Chinese send their smartest children to study in Australia
You always have to be aware of your surroundings no matter where you are. But when we walked around at night or day in Siem Reap, we did not feel unsafe at all. :)
Yeah I noticed I didn’t see tall building too and I think maybe the Government doesn’t allow to build higher than the top of the Angkor Temple correct me if I’m wrong.
@@ninaraj Yeah, and that's why I like the place it's unique and relaxing. I mean that everywhere in the world there are tall buildings, please keep Siem Reap like this forever.
Be careful in SE Asia when taxi drivers or guides try to take you somewhere because it's normally inflated prices that they collect a commission on. In Thailand its jewelry shops, tailor shops, "massage parlors" go-go bars or clubs, or overpriced restaurants. They'll tell you the place you want to go I.e. The Grand Palace, is closed due to a holiday but the rip-off place they want to take you is opened. Tuk tuk drivers are the worst but taxi drivers will do the same thing.

I agree, it would change the atmosphere alot if they changed that rule. Thank you for watching!
Will not change in the future UNESCO not allow unless government decide to drop Angkor Wat from UNESCO list
Chinese investors will probably change that unfortunately
Amazing vlog! the temples look so cool a must visit in a lifetime for sure.
Definitely!! 😊

Wow. I can't even imagine how difficult that must have been. Thank you for sharing this with us 🤍
Those temples look super unique 😮
Very!
@@ninarajhii😊
Cambodia is more than a dark side :) Thanks for flashing a bright side of Cambodia. 🙏
I agree completely, thanks for watching!
Buildings in Siem Reap are not allow to be taller than Angkor Wat temple which is 65m
That’s good! I think it preserves the significance of Angkor Wat in that area :)
Thanks for posting! I’m cambodian-american and my parents left because of the genocide . I’m so excited to finally visit this summer ❤️
that's so exciting! hope you have fun on your trip :)

Thank you! 🙏🏻
Great video! Did you guys go to the "echo room" in Angkor Wat? Some of the smaller temples in the area have the same type of room.
Unfortunately, I did not, I will look into it more though! Thanks for the idea!

Oh wow I didn't have that experience with the tuktuk drivers 😅 but I hope you had fun on your trip!
@@ninaraj They are desperate in the slow season. A few told me their sob stories about how little money they are making until September again.
Idk if I’m brave enough to hold a monkey like that 😅 but nice video, keep it up!

Chinese send their smartest children to study in Australia
That’s good for them. I was just speaking on what I’ve noticed personally . Thank you for watching :)
not sure why having a lot of Chinese is a bragging factor. Makes the image of the country much worse.
You should have tired a famous local coffee shop called BROWN. And many places to visit such Neak Pon temple or Bakeng Mountain
true, I will definitely next time!
I'm from Iowa, and I'm going there this March. Is it safe at night to roam around? I'm thinking about trying vendors' foods at night.
You always have to be aware of your surroundings no matter where you are. But when we walked around at night or day in Siem Reap, we did not feel unsafe at all. :)

Oh I guess they raised the price :/
Their very flexible in Asia ,
