This part of Cambodia is underrated. Places like Siem Reap are okay for a few hours but these places are so much more real and a better insight into life in the country.
Hi Naomi , do you have wheel tattoo on your hand ? It looks like wheel in Buddhism which represents Buddha . Before statue became norm , Buddha used to ( still is ) be represented by wheel & feet prints . You may have heard about Journey to the west , chinese mythology. It actually exist in other societies/countries/tribes as well, there're well documented stories where monks traveled to west , like Japanese monks travelling to west but ending up in Ankor Wat in Cambodia mistaking it for India till 15th/16th century
Cambodia is very safe place. To. Go especially in country side. All. Khmer people will protect you. If someone try to. Steal anything from. You can't run. U. Guys very. Nice and Generous. Love I guys. ❤❤❤
Thank you for your video in Cambodia，China is helping Cambodia build a canal, Rek Chik Funan Techo, connecting the lower Mekong River to the Gulf of Thailand. You can visit it. The canal is 180 kilometers (110 miles) long, 100 meters (330 feet) wide, 5.4 meters (18 feet) deep, and can accommodate ships of 3,000 tons. The canal will connect Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville, Cambodia's only deep-water port. The project is invested and constructed by a Chinese company. On August 5, 2024, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet presided over the groundbreaking ceremony and said: "We must build this canal at all costs." Cambodia took a day off to celebrate the launch of the project.
Thank you both so much, am enjoying this series immensely... You are my kind of travellers, just wandering happy to be experiencing whatever comes up. You certainly are lucky to have found such a kind gentleman for a driver/guide. I get the feeling that I am simply enjoying things with you and commend you for showing such empathy and sensitivity in your interactions with the local people. Cambodia truly is a magnificent country... despite its history and the current regime the fact that the people remain happy, positive and making the best of things is immensely inspiring. Best wishes, M.
I counted 307 steps. The stairs are steep and they're uneven, so be careful and forewarned. The views and the Angkorian temple were worth the climb however and we all liked the experience.
The temples are well taken care of. The sad part is all the money that is spent in them to make merit. I know of one Cambodian family in America that spent thousand on a temple but would not give money to help some of their family in Cambodia.
The Chinese will build an escalator beside these staircase if that was in China. 😂 Anyway this place is beautiful and I like these lay back places. I hope I can visit the place next year. Thanks to Naomi and Luke for sharing. Hope you are having an amazing time there. Take care! Cheers!
There used to be hundreds of bats like that in the eaves of the National Museum in Phnom Penh, offering everyone downtown a nightly show complete with screeches.
The tragedy in Cambodia was initiated by the United States. The U.S. invaded Vietnam and extended the war into Cambodia, supported the Lon Nol coup that overthrew King Sihanouk, and its war contributed to the rise of the Khmer Rouge. While the Khmer Rouge made mistakes in domestic policy, their struggle against U.S. aggression was just. The West now only emphasizes the crimes of the Khmer Rouge, but no one pays attention to the war crimes committed by the United States, and you two are no exception.
It is nice to start your next trip to China in early September, the weather is not so hot, the students are back in school. Enjoy your new exploration and don't visit to China in National Day!
The wire rope on that bridge could hold tons, old boards on the other hand. We use to have 3 and two wire rope bridges in NZ. no wood just walk on a wire. Probably government funded think of the cost of that rope. You take a small rope across then pull a bigger rope over then the wire. Maybe you should have a flyer and try to sell to the people that come up to you on the street. Turn it round and chase them off, buy a pocket full of 10c fans and offer them for $5
The hole on the stone. Came from. Fighting between. Khmer Rouge and Vietnamese. Soldier in 1979. When Soviet Union order Vietnamese to invade Cambodia to help. and save us. From Khmer Rouge regime.
When the building the road the value of. Not House property go up. They are cheap Cambodia some areas can cost millions dollars us. There are a road there are money that is why people and pitching money
Yes, China is huge and still has poverty. You dont see it doesn't mean its not exist. Don't forget China was very " poor" not long ago. Being "poor" is not a shame or peoples fault. Not necessary to constantly compare counties. We need to respect the different ways of life.
What you were saying about jobs and making a life it's not much different here in America as far as you got to invest in the job or occupation you want to do whether it be education or starting a business or both. I don't know what this European way you're talking about is I'd love to know more. We lost the whole apprenticeship thing a long time ago in America I think that's what you're talking about my grandfather was German and he told me our education system in America is messed up by Junior High you were already figured out your trade. The high school you could be training for it. 16 he said during his time you could actually be working
Finally 1st!!! 250,000 on the horizon!

China is helping Cambodia build canals. hope the life of the Cambodian will become better and better

BEAUTIFUL but I'm surprised you find a way to upload.
I think they usually upload about a few weeks later.

Really excited to see Cambodia - M
That looks strenuous! Stay cool guys!
The temples are well taken care of. The sad part is all the money that is spent in them to make merit. I know of one Cambodian family in America that spent thousand on a temple but would not give money to help some of their family in Cambodia.
maybe for them, temples are important part in life. people can stand hunger, but can not stand the life without temples.
It's a good start , prosperity will come .
This place looks like a China rural village in 70's. I can feel how hard their work is, but happiness is the most important thing.
Hopefully like china , they'll prosper as well soon.
The Chinese will build an escalator beside these staircase if that was in China. 😂 Anyway this place is beautiful and I like these lay back places. I hope I can visit the place next year. Thanks to Naomi and Luke for sharing. Hope you are having an amazing time there. Take care! Cheers!

great video 👍 thanks for sharing this

Incredible 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Fair play going up those stairs, I would have to be carried up and Id roll down. You did it, well done
😂 lol

I like countryside beautiful
That was one longgggggg _steep_ walk up the temple!
I'm guessing it's a kind of test to show how dedicated you are 😅
It was a tough walk for sure!
You have visited rural Battambang. You also have seen how people live. If you look deeper, you would see the reason why Khmer Rouge was possible.
I'm looking forward to your visit to China again！
Starting September 5th ❤️
@@TwoMadExplorers ❤️❤️❤️
@@TwoMadExplorers So excited！！！🥰
Cambodia is hot even in December😅 I think they have only two season, dry and
rainy.
To be honest I couldn't make up to the mountain. On that stairs. Hot and humid. 😂😂
I could see that the village roads are better than that of Laos
I will soon go there for clip, and show the real-life people there!

I see you give an insight into temples but hardly anything on the mosque or even a view of the mosque

If you like to live with the nature you should lived in Cambodia.
what's name of village?
Just want to let you know. When you say hello. They don't respond. Because they are very shy.
Due to the road development. Government still. Need. Fund people live in country. Don't have to pay any property taxes.
The hole on the stone. Came from. Fighting between. Khmer Rouge and Vietnamese. Soldier in 1979. When Soviet Union order Vietnamese to invade Cambodia to help. and save us. From Khmer Rouge regime.
感觉很原生态🙂
玩遍世界
why did them put so much money to build temples instead of improving the quality life for Canbodian?
that so much is not that much to improve the living situation.
It's not much money. Temples are mostly renovated. They already exist.
When the building the road the value of. Not House property go up. They are cheap Cambodia some areas can cost millions dollars us. There are a road there are money that is why people and pitching money
Isn’t it very hot there?
In all your travels in China did you see any areas that were this poor?
Yes, China is huge and still has poverty. You dont see it doesn't mean its not exist. Don't forget China was very " poor" not long ago. Being "poor" is not a shame or peoples fault. Not necessary to constantly compare counties. We need to respect the different ways of life.
