People in Thailand told me for so long to never go to Cambodia so I didn't. I eventually went on my own 6 years ago and now it's the place where I spend most of my time when travelling SE Asia. I love it so much that I'm moving there this year! Cambodia is a truly special place as well as being ranked as one of the top friendliest countries in the world.
I'm moving to Cambodia for the first time at the end of the year as well. Thailand treats tourists good with their 30 day free visa on arrival, but they do not like people staying long term. Cambodia is just the opposite. They charge tourists $35 for a visa, but let you get a 1 year visa for only $180 and no stressful 90 day immigration checkins and minimum bank balances.
Excuse me! Could you tell me the reason why thailand told you to visit Cambodia?
@@MyLifeThai371 it's very true. As Thailand has gotten richer, they have began to push out the longterm foreigners or at least make staying extremely difficult. Cambodia has been clever and waits with open arms saying come here instead. Let's hope Cambodia doesn't change as they become wealthier.
@@_laliler_3216 a few people in Thailand told me that Cambodia was not safe, not clean and hardly any lighting with nothing to do there. I was very surprised when I first went to Cambodia to see it was nothing like they described. Cambodia is my favourite country!
Cambodia are coming back...before the war Cambodia got it all. Hope the western don't try to drop any more bombs on it!!
I'm in kampot now, been in cambodia 10 days now, couldn't agree more. This place and the people here are very special. This country caught me by suprise, love it here
Loving the videos! As a Cambodian myself I am delighted that my country is being shown and spread to other parts of the world. However there are some things in the video that I have to correct. The hotel in the video wasn’t actually abandoned during the war, it was a resort built more than 10 years ago and some parts of it are still being used to accommodate guests but most of it is unfortunately abandoned due to the lack of guests. Finally, the statue on the mountain wasn’t Buddha, we call her “Lok Yey Mao” or Grandma Mao, she is known to be the guardian of the coastal cities. Hope to see what you have in store for your next adventures!
Couldn't agree more...after all that the Cambodian people have been through, their gentle kindness fills me with amazement. 💜
Paddy, you nailed it. I travelled to Cambodia in 2002 as part of a 10 month trip and spent 10 days in this beautiful country. I travelled overland from Bangkok to Siem Reap, which was horribly uncomfortable, and then a boat from Siem Reap to Battambang and then back to Bangkok. The thing that really stuck with me was the beauty of the Cambodian people. I was told that Thailand was the Land of Smiles, and in many ways it was, but Cambodia is where I truly felt that the people were genuinely happy that I was there. Travelling through the countryside, with the kids running to the side of the road to wave hello, and everyone else just nicer than you can imagine, the country was pure magic. I am glad to hear that it's apparently still the same
Kampot isn’t the only beach/costal city in Cambodia. There’s also Koh Kong which is a city next to Thailand border and Sihanoukville, the more modern beach city with high rises and white sand beach (about 100km away from Kampot). There are also many islands in the area that you could explore, like Rabbit Island, Koh Rong, Koh Rong Sanloeum, Bamboo Island, and many more. Phu Quoc island or Koh Trol used to belong to Cambodia that’s why it’s closer to mainland Cambodia than it is to mainland Vietnam. It is the most controversial dispute between the two countries over decades. Thank you for your videos and for coming to our country. ❤
Unfortunately my old paradise back packer beach town Sihanoukville has been destroyed by the chinese high rise hotels and casinos. I just loved it there. The local people was such wonderful people which now has disappeared somewhere els?
@@Oggiwara1
How a prime minister could destroy a nice place because of greed.
@@Oggiwara1 agreed
I cant believe u recommended sihanoukville.🤦♂️
I agree with you that Cambodia was my favorite out of Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos. Each country had its own charm but Cambodia really does have a different feel and after learning about the history it's quite amazing how that country has continued to persevere. The great beer prices help, as well as the amazing Angkor What. I want to go back so badly. Hope you made it to Koh Rong as well! Right off of Kampot.
Paddy you have done yourself and Cambodia 🇰🇭 proud, respect from 🇬🇧
Thanks from Cambodia❤
Kampot was my favorite in Cambodia. You have a beach, river and mountains all in one ❤
Thank you Paddy for your great videos! I’m currently travelling Cambodia & loving it! Prior to Cambodia, I was in Vietnam for a month. Your videos helped with my travel research… so very helpful. For anyone not sure about Cambodia, please rethink it… not only the food & culture is so very special, but the people of kind, generous & sweet as well. Just remember to be kind right back. Happy travels everyone.
How to use a foreign motorcycle in Cambodia? He drove from Thailand
I love Cambodia people very friendly smile and kind
Cambodia is a very special place. I am proud to say that I call this country my home now after 3 years and I can easily live here forever. Kep is my absolute favourite place. I just feel that connection. I believe, and this is just hear say, that the statue of the lady in Kep was built in honor of her husband who was a fisherman, and went out fishing one day and never returned, and this is her sitting on the rocks waiting for her husband to return. Love your videos Paddy and enjoy my country.
That story of the statue is touchingly sad. Funny how we appreciate more or look at things differently when knowing the story behind it.
Thanks Paddy for taking us on this journey through Cambodia. I also agree that there is something very special about the Cambodian people :)
Glad you enjoyed it Connie and yes they were all very kind to me

Paddie good show mate.
Cambodia…oh my heart! I have loved every moment of both trips - except for the transit through Sihanoukville to get to Koh Rong and Koh Rong Sanloem. Which btw I highly highly rate!
Those islands are national parks and have not been infected by the scourge of Sihanoukville.
In fact I’d rate them above most Thai islands. They’re naturally stunning but set into a national park so no big developments. Samoleon doesn’t even have roads. Just beach huts set on the white sand. Some are luxe most are budget friendly. On 4K beach on Koh Rong you can sleep in tents.
A trip that I’m told is reminiscent of visiting the Thai islands in the 70-80s. I absolutely loved it.
I wish the cambodian govt could turn those casinos and get funding to complete those abandoned unfinished high rises in sihanoukville into universities and hospitals.
I absolutely agree about how amazing Cambodia is to travel in!! When I went as a backpacker in 2015 I was also told by many that it wasn’t their favourite but even tho I had a near death allergic reaction it was my favourite country of that trip. I look forward to returning someday soon. Happy to see someone share the same feelings towards that beautiful country and it’s resilient people ❤
I felt exactly the same way as you described about Cambodia when I was there for a month in 2016. I spent time in Phnom Penh and also Battambang, and of course Siem Reip and Angkor Wat. I felt the resilience of the people and how they were turning the page from so much suffering to embracing life and joy. I really found it moving. There's also an innocence there. Super special country. I'm glad you felt that too.
@Vlogging Times I loved Battambang. We stayed there and rested for like 10 days. It's very mellow and local and the people are super friendly. Great! If you like smaller towns that aren't busy and touristy with genuine local culture.
Thanks for promoting Cambodia to the world, it means so much to Cambodian people ❤
I think the negativity about Cambodia may centre around Snook and what it has become. I’ve not been out to the islands either for six years or so but they were amazing. Cambodia is its own clique. And I think your observation about the people and what they’ve been through is spot on. The energy of a place comes from its people and as we swapped notes on before Cambodia is far less tourist fatigued from my perspective. These shoots and edits have a really nice chilled out feel. From the initial impressions vid with Cowboy it’s been a real pleasure catching this series. Cheers man. 🍻✌️
appreciate it
😎👍🏻
It seems some Thai and Viets look down on Cambodians but I have never seen Cambodians looking down on Thai or Viets eventhough they used to invade Cambodia a lot!!
I’m Cambodian 🇰🇭 I’m really to thankful for promoted Cambodia to the world
🇰🇭🙏🥰
Thank you so much for visited my country 🙏💛. People in Cambodian love you guys so much 🙏💛💐🇰🇭. Thank you so much for your love Cambodian 🙏🙏🙏
So quiet and peaceful, different than Thai coast. Best amaze about this special places...
I loved Kep when we visited a few years back. The crab market there was great and I remember having one of my favourite ever meals there (although, in general the food wasn’t as spectacular as Thailand, the Kampot pepper sauce is delicious). We also visited Koh Tonsay, a tiny island off the Kep coast for a day and ended up staying for a week. Fantastic people and the ‘rough around the edges’ aspect actually added to its charm for me. Great video as always Paddy.
Love from Cambodia 🇰🇭 ❤
I'm moving to Cambodia forever in the near future n I can't wait 👌
Cambodia has great food if you look beyond fried rice and typical curries. We have just completed a month in the country and loved every minute. I will miss the smiles and warmth from everyone in that amazing country 🇰🇭 it’s a shame you did not travel to Koh Rong & Koh Rong Samloem two stunning islands which are part of Cambodia.
Yes, Koh Rong Sanloem is beyond beautiful.
Excellent video Paddy, I have spent about three years collectively in Cambodia and agree with you that the people are so sincerely nice and without guile. Can't understand people who say Cambodia is the worst of the SE Asian countries, I have heard just the opposite. New subscriber!
When we visited Cambodia people were always nice and friendly never heard they talk a bad things about other countries but when we arrived in Thailand they were full of bad stories about Cambodia. We love Cambodia and foods and culture
I think he heard from fellow travelers/tourists to not visit cambodia because it is honestly a bit rough compared to thailand, laos and vietnam. It wasnt from local thai, lao or vietnamese. It was from other travelers visiting southeast asia. Many of them tend to skip cambodia.
Thank you Paddy for confirming that our country is safe for the foreigners to travel to Cambodia than hearing negativity, we gotta admit there is minority take advantage over charges visitors than locals. But I'm sure everywhere we go we'll find dishonest people around the world whether small or large. By the way I enjoy your videos, and thank you for visiting our country! (Cambodia) from USA.
Paddy, you didn't miss anything at Phu Quoc Vietnam. I went there several years ago, after Kampot and Kep Cambodia by crossing the border near Ha Tien in fact. It's fine but mostly loads of Vietnamese and Chinese tourists, and it's built for that purpose. Not much in the way of authentic experiences (IMO). My suggestion is make it to Koh Rong in Cambodia if it's not too late (I realize this video was likely recorded weeks ago).
I agree with you that Cambodia is a truly special place. The last time we were there we were visiting friends in Koh Kong, and the one touristy thing we did was a speedboat tour of the mangroves with a stop at a fishing village. Highly recommend! I thought of that when I saw you paddling around in the kayak.
I'm headed to Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia this year on a solo trip. I've been binge watching your videos like crazy. You're a great story teller and I love your personality and the way you interact with the people. I've gotten a lot of good tips from you so far. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. Your content is great!
Loving this series. Love that you seem more relaxed, happier, taking your time to explore as you should.
Another beautiful video Paddy!! Kampot looks like a great little place
Thank you so much for making the video about Cambodia for the word to see. I am really appreciated. ❤❤❤
Great video and flashbacks of my trip to Kampot and Kep in early 2020! Absolutely love Cambodia, it's food and it's people and I will be back.
This vlog is a great example of what makes this channel so unique …. The ability to see the positives culture beliefs creeds etc ❤ thanks P
Was in Cambodia briefly in October Siem Reap and spent a few nights in Battambang which was absolutlely brilliant - well worth a visit, Bamboo Train and the amazing bat caves. The people were lovely and hopefully will return to fully discover this fantastic place. Stay safe Paddy.
Wow! Cambodia done so fast and only the tourist destinations covered. Was hoping for more adventure into the amazing mountains. Maybe next time!
Such a nice and quality video! Crab and Durian were popular things in Kampot because of it tastes better than any area in Cambodia. Thanks for coming🙏🏻🇰🇭❤️
We are really enjoying your videos in Cambodia. What a beautiful country❤
Kep is Beautiful! I spent my Dengue fever recovery in Kampot, for 10 days... I can't say I enjoyed being there, for obvious reasons!
Oh nice spot there. I loved Kep and the peppercorn crab at Holy Crab ! Yum.
Paddy, you're absolutely right about Cambodia, saying it's a unique place to be or visit, considering the country's history. I have been in Kampot shortly July 2022, but I haven't made it to Kep due to issues with my luggage, and unfortunately, I had to alter my travel plans. Thanks for your videos, as it reminds me of how beautiful the country is.
We're so glad that those rumors don't stop you from visiting Cambodia. Thanks for checking us out! Please remember that you're always welcome back here! ;)
Another top vlog, Paddy. Great to show there is much more to Cambodia than Angkor Wat and Phnom Phen. There are beaches and islands too! The kayaking looked fun. I was at the island of Koh Rong in 2012. I hope you check it out in a future vlog.
Thank you for sharing beautiful Cambodia. You have an eye for detail and s respect for this country.
Wow, that river lined with palms looks amazing :) I must go there next time I make it back.
Happy that you visited my country! Great video Paddy :)
I too loved my time in Cambodia. I visited in March this year.
Beautiful people, Beautiful country💕
Can't wait to return next year
Thank you so much for your visiting CAMBODIA 🙏🙏
Kep and Kampot are really great places to chill. I was in Kampot last November and had the best time ever. There is an island near Kep which is called Rabbit Island. It's a 20 minute boat ride for $25 return. Its definitely worth a look if you you want to save some cash as it's cheap.
I have seen all your video about cambodia to get information for my travelling to campodia soon,thanks so much;from Vietnam
Hey Paddy Nice Vlog 😊We really enjoyed it!
Hey Paddy. Thanks for sharing your trip. Cambodia certainly has changed a lot since I went there last 20 years ago. You didn't really see any cars outside the capital city. I like your new languid style. I really hope you can have a major change of scenery this year it will make you appreciate home and SE Asia even more.
Moved to Kampot from Phnom Penh just a few days ago. Wonderful to see you had a good time here :)
This was one of the best videos of ur channel, the drone shots of the sea were brilliant and loved the kayaking in mangrove forests.
We've been in Siem Reap for three weeks now and loved it, from the people to the hidden gems everywhere, filmed so much on our channel like kids exploring 😂
Thank you so much for promoting my country. I hope you have a great time😊
Thank you so much brother for your speech about my country.Hope you enjoyed with Cambodia .Sending l❤ from Cambodia.
Hi Paddy what a beautifulllllllll place..so many trees..and clean..be safe xo
Thanks for the info on Cambodia.
Loved the laid back nature of this video...looks like a great area to visit of you want to just kick back and re-charge the batteries. Beautiful and the sunset...wow. Another fantastic time spent with 'Paddy the traveller'...cheers Paddy 😁😎
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you so much for this series. I like you off the bike, walking around!
thanks you so much for support cambodia welcome and see you❤❤❤🇰🇭🙏🙏🙏🙏😊
Hey Paddy.
I am 36 and from Switzerland. I was able to call Kampot my home for 8 years. Thank you for this travel description. YOU had to look deeper and feel so that you could discover and show the beauty of Kampot. That's what I missed in many Kampot travel videos made by others. Well done.
Welcome to Cambodia 🇰🇭💖💖
@18:18 the sunset shot emotes serenity, paradise, and the beauty of Earth that we proudly can call our home world.
Dear all, If you have time to visit Cambodia, I would recommend you to visit Koh Rong and Koh Rong sanleom island that is near by to Shihanuk Vill. It is the most beautiful island ever.
Absolutely stunning.
Thank you for the most entertaining evening Paddy 😀
PS the Banana Fanta must be a world's first lol
Glad you enjoyed it Mark ✌️
In kampot, if you stay by the River, it's even more beautiful. The sun set behind the mountain range. Kayaking along the river is even more fun.
And Kep, it's sad that you missed the Kep national park. It's so beautiful, there's an observation tower, and the view is breathtaking, plus there is a good cafe on the mountain overlooking the coast. The view is amazing you could sit there for hours and it's affordable too.
Hi, which places to stay along the river in Kampot that has kayaking? And can you stay at Kep national park? If yes, do you know the hotel or accommodation’s name?
@@heythave hi, there are 2 side of the river. I stayed at Eden eco village when I was there the first time, it's not some high end resort, it's mostly for backpackers. On that side of the river, you can see beautiful mountain, quiet surrounding with just birds chipping, and you get to see the sun set from there. But if you're staying on the other side of the river which I did at Kampot riverfront boutique, you get to see sunrise however I'd totally recommend you to go to a cafe on the hill call "veha" around 3pm to enjoy the view of a wetland and coffee, plus the sunset is amazing there. The cafe was in a small cottage it was so cute. The entry fee was $1.25, but you can use it to as voucher to buy coffee, you just need to add maybe a dollar more. There is accommodation up there too, you can see both sun rise and sunset there. Anyway, both accomodations I mentioned offer free kayak. But you can search on Google map along that river and check out their accomodations on Agoda. The eden eco village one, was about 16$ when I stay there, kampot river front was about $40, it's more premium and it has AC.
@@heythave about Kep, I don't think there is any hotel on the national park. I stayed at a resort call darita, for around 30$ free breakfast and a pool, and it's quite close to the beach. I think you should rent a bike when you are in kampot to go around because both city is next to each other and it only take around 10-20mn to go from 1 to another. The bike is around $5 per day I think.
@@Kylelongwest When you say a bike, do you mean a bicycle or a motorcycle?
@@heythave oh motorbike, scooter
Statue reminds me of the one in Copenhagen! Great video Paddy! Have a super wonderful weekend! ❤🙏🏼so much❤️💞💋
Hey Paddy. Love your videos.
I guess I'll drop an interesting story related to the statue of the woman there at the shore.
The name of the statue is "Sela Jam Pdey" which translates to "The Stone that awaits her husband's return". Since Sela is also a unisex name, it can also translate to "Sala awaits her husband's return".
The statue was built as a remembrance for Lost of Koh Trol or Phu Quoc which is what it is known for internationally now.
There are so many version of the stories, but I'll tell this one and it is going to sound biased. But I'll stand tall.
During the french colony of Indochina, the island is used to imprisoned people. As times passes and in short, since Cambodia had never set foot on that island along with the Vietnamese populations grew, that island was lost.
That's why you can see Phu Quoc is so much closer to Cambodia than it is the South Vietnam, or (Lower-Cambodia, but that's another story).
I heard you mentioned that island in the video, then moved to that status as well as mentioning that you don't know the story of the statue, I thought I took the time to write this.
Hope you love Cambodia and again love you videos!! Thank you 🙏
Thanks Paddy, great video as always.
Thanks you for bringing this amazing and entertaining video. I’m missing my birth place very much ❤️✌️
Thank You for your wonderful video about Cambodia.
Never fails! Another amazing video!
It's interesting to see how many different Budha images there are. Another geat video. Your videos have taught me so much about these other countries. I'm interested in stuff now that I never knew existed before your videos. Thank you!
You are very welcome
That was cool. Thanks Paddy. 🙏
Easy going mate in the Kayak 👊
Thanks for showing us these beautifull places of Cambodia, will be going there one day, on the bucketlist for sure ☺️ to bad this was already the last episode of Cambodia mate

We are too pround that we born in this amazing country ❤️. And we are happy that the tourists love our country too. ❤️ Thank you for came here and show the world about my country! 😊
The sunset was beautiful and the night market looked fun! I'm a bit of a boring person as well - lol - and when I travel, unless there is something that has to be seen at night, I'm not usually out past sunset.
Thanks for sharing Cambodia with us!
Thanks for watching Melissa 🙂
Lovely day xx❤❤
I am local. I love Kampot so much. The province where I can take my time off from work and living a slow life there.
Thank u new Fri. For visiting my HOME State provinces!!! Enjoy the ocean scenes & Much more!!!🙏🏾👏🏽👍🏽🙏🏾👍🏽🥰🥰🥰

Wow 😍😍😍 Thank you for visiting my home country 🙏🙏🙏
I'm going to PhnomPhen next week. I'm enjoying your videos of Cambodia. Thx!
Splendid views🌄
💚💚
Really amazing when you see abandon places like the french resort. Great place to film a horror movie! (The Shining 2) Would love to kayak around KAMPOT!. Hope you get a chance to explore some of the islands of Cambodia near the Thailand border. Great video Paddy..
I won't have time to explore the islands, this is the last part of the Cambodia series sadly
City of Ghosts with Matt Dillon was filmed there. Check it out.
Sorry I missed you live Paddy:(
Thanks for an awesome video 🙏🏼
Wow.Pretty cool guy. I am falling more in Love with Cambodia in each new video.
Kampot is really a lovely sleepy town.
Welcome to Cambodia!!!
