Ed, your positivity, humility and generally good vibe set your simple videos head and shoulders above the rest. No BS just genuine information and opinion that we, the average traveller can use. Keep it up, enjoy your time away, keep entertaining us and never change. Cheers from Melbourne 🍻🥖🍷
The pandemic hammered SR. It's great to see the place slowly coming back to life. It was home for 12 years, so I never tire of watching videos of the place. Thanks for posting.
Freezing cold back here in the UK Ed. You are in a great town, having a good time AND saving money by avoiding what would be expensive electricity and gas bills back home.
You have great humor and lovely accent. Do not feel bad for those hawkers as they try to make a living. They are the true survivors. I had a chance to visit this historical town way back in the 60s as a boy with my family. I did not see many tourist then and the town was so peaceful. Only memory lives on. Life is short. Be kind, be cool, and be happy. Safe travels mate!
Nice video eddy . We got our first snow today In Toronto. I did not even go out . Yes . If you put your feet in with the fish they would get drunk ! Lol .
Your videos really have stoked my desire to visit Cambodia. From USA, it seems it makes more sense maybe to do a visit within a Thailand trip. Flights and travel time are pretty horrendous otherwise 🤔
I was in Vietnam & Cambodia during the War years,1968 to 1972,went to Cambodia as a Tourist in 2006,only could stay 4 days,brought back to many bad memories an I went back to Thailand but I wish I could have given it another try?It looks nice where your at.At least I can watch your video,Thank You for this video.
Hello Edward, would you recommend Siem Reap over Phonh Penh? I would be intrigued to see which one is better in different areas. Anyways, thanking you for this vlog and hope all is well. Wish you a pleasant and happy weekend! 😊
Looks so peaceful Eddie. Kinda wish I had visited Cambodia in the mid 2000s.from 2004 to 2009 I travelled frequently to the Philippines, malaysia and Thailand. Cambodia and Vietnam are definitely on my list. 1 dollar for a beer? Superb 👍👍👌🍻🍻🍺👌
Wow, a ghost town compared to five years ago when I last visited. I counted fifty tour buses in the car park at Angkor Wat. Maybe not a bad thing with less crowds?
You should check out Kendall Village which is about a five minute walk from pub Street. There’s a place called common ground Café, and Kamon Japanese restaurant, and there’s an Italian restaurant and there’s a Mexican restaurant that has $1.75 tacos on Tuesdays. The Mexican place is called may be later. It’s kind of tucked behind the provincial hospital.
Tell you what Eddie the more i see of Siem Reap the more i like as you say looks very pleasant.Nice one if i put my foot in there the fish would die of alcohol poisoning ha ha cracker. Cheers mate keep them coming.
We both laughed at the audacity of the young girl's comment that she had LARGE t shirt for you. 🤣🤣. Is SR much quieter than you remember still?? It sure looks quiet. Yes, Cant help feeling for these stall holder. Anyway Eddie, great to walk around the town 'virtually' with you. very PLEASANT video, Cheers Eddie. ;-]
Hi Eddie. I was also ALMOST tempted by a snack seller to try to eat a tarantula. They are suppose to taste spicy. I hope you will try it and let us know. Keep a beer handy just in case.
Nice attitude mate. My 'girlfriend' has a market stall over there Damnit, didnt spot her...I remember having fun at the rooftop bar, at 14:30 a few years back.
The coffee is lovely there I heard it’s seems calm Eddy I could actually retire somewhere like this is it cheaper than Thailand Edd I heard it’s easygoing and easier for visas ?
Wel I guess looks can be deceiving at times Ed, it looks on the shanty side but I bet it would be a load of fun when the sun goes down. Might have to check it out some day. Be safe and until next time old son.
I was in Cambodia in March 2019, and the river in Siam Riep had dried up completely. The river then did have plenty of rubbish though. I thought it was nice to stay there for a couple of days, but on day 5 I was thrilled to leave.
Another pleasant valley Sunday 🌞. I reckon you meant "colonised by the French". The local people had probably discovered it long before. Pushy market stallholders. Sharp exit.
Good video Eddie , quick question to you on ur eva flight was everyone forced to wear a mask on the whole journey to bangkok or was in people’s own choice cheers
Where are the tourists? The place seems empty. Giant markets with no one there. Are there any bars with ladies in them? I will say it is very clean and well taken care of.
Lived there for a while and really liked it... Just two issues I had, one was the medical care and the other was dating. Seems to be a difficult task trying to find normal women who were open for dating.
I need to go somewhere end of feb for a month when my visa runs out , would you recommend Cambodia or Vietnam for my first visit, just for sightseeing in the day really
Good move on leaving the market quickly Ed. No point falsely rasing the seller's expectations. Not a big fan of markets either. Laughed when I heard the alcohol poisoning quip. On the other hand it could be happy hour for the fish.
Siem Reap looking good. Yes, a very "pleasant" town but VERY touristy due to the proximity to Angkor Wat. Amazes me how those shops in the market survive ALL selling the same stuff (T-shirts, souvenirs etc !). Those sellers must have had a tough time during the pandemic 😥
Edward no doubt a beautiful place along with you and it's people . A bit off putting having them come after you trying to sell you something . As you said I hate seeing someone struggle to make a living , makes you feel guilty but you really don't need the stuff . It does spoil an afternoon look around for a tourist , not really interested in artefacts and souvenirs .
@@dontamba4919 reminds me of last time I was there, a young fella gave me and my mates some of his wisdom saying that it you buy cocaine here it’s likely to be heroin, and that the ladies are likely to have aids. An hour later , saw him with one on each arm😂 he prob did the H afterwards😝
Eddy you are, and will always be, an excellent speaker and tour guide. Everything you talk about is interesting and relevant to your followers. Loved the bit of history you included too. I can't wait to visit Siem Reap after watching this.

You sure you are talking about Eddie??? 😂😂

Thanks for the great vid 😃👍 Its allways nice to watch your videos. You are The best Eddie 😃👌.
Cheers mate
NOT a "namby-pamby" report. Very well-done "walk and talk" video. Good production values and good narration. Thanks for your effort.
Cheers, Fred
Nice to see you out and about in Cambodia and doing what you do best. ( Down to earth travel reports) cheers 🥂
Thanks mate
Thought l was looking at Newsham Park there for a minute Ed.
Most pleasant vlog!!
One of your best videos
Great video as always Eddie. Thanks for sharing.
Great to hear from you mate
Great Video Eddie , really good to see Siem reap again , love the walk around ...while im freezing at home !
It's always nice to start the day with a great video done by you.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks, Rudolf
20 unedited minutes of Eddie telling people he's "just having a walk"', it's what we're all here for
😉

Great walk about Ed-
Any honey’s walking around? Local flavor honey ?🍻

Good month to be here

It depends what you want. Siem Reap is a nicer town but Phnom Penh has more for the single guy.
Ed thanks for the video !
Thanks, mate
Thank you for nice video enjoy your time Eddie
Excellent upload Eddie. I enjoyed my time in Siem Reap when I visited previously. Where are you off too next?
Great video steady Eddie , ❤️

Don't feel guilty about not buying from the markets Eddie
You're keeping the restaurants afloat single handedly ...😀
I'll be there the day after Christmas (my second time visiting)...after a week in Pattaya. How long are you staying?
Wow, a ghost town compared to five years ago when I last visited. I counted fifty tour buses in the car park at Angkor Wat. Maybe not a bad thing with less crowds?
Ot-day ( sounds like hot day) is No or Not works well, add a Bong and everyone is happy.

Looks better than UK mate,48 flights cancelled from LHR today I fly from Gatwick on 22nd keeping my fingers crossed
Take care
Best of luck, Colin
At least you can cross the road without risking your life like in Thailand! Nice PLEASANT video. Big T shirt sir! Nice 0 degrees in London!
Another good one Edd.👍👍

Good to hear from. Yes, some areas like Sok San Rd still haven't recovered, but it's still a good place to be
Hi Eddie. I was also ALMOST tempted by a snack seller to try to eat a tarantula. They are suppose to taste spicy. I hope you will try it and let us know. Keep a beer handy just in case.
Eddie, what about the Rumpy Pumpy situation...?
First things first clicks like before watching the video cos you know it will be a banger
Cheers mate
Keep up the good work .. ❤
Nice attitude mate. My 'girlfriend' has a market stall over there Damnit, didnt spot her...I remember having fun at the rooftop bar, at 14:30 a few years back.
I noticed how clean the streets are there Eddy. There was not one piece of litter on the street. Looks like a nice place to visit
The coffee is lovely there I heard it’s seems calm Eddy I could actually retire somewhere like this is it cheaper than Thailand Edd I heard it’s easygoing and easier for visas ?
Wish I had a pound for every time you said ( I’m just havin a little walk 😂
we live here 7 years,it BEST city in Cambodia!!!
Ed! Great video....what are you using for money? Local currency or US dollars?
Both. US dollar for larger transactions
Wel I guess looks can be deceiving at times Ed, it looks on the shanty side but I bet it would be a load of fun when the sun goes down. Might have to check it out some day. Be safe and until next time old son.
Superb Eddie, doing the country proud 😊 love ❤️ it :-) :-)

Totally agree. If I could only go to one place in Cambodia, it would be Siem Reap without question.
Eddie. How much is it for guest houses /hotels compared to pattaya. 🤔👍🏴
Similar
@@STEADY599 okay Eddie thanks 👍
What a year makes
Those hawkers would do my head in. I'd have to walk round with a t shirt that says " No thank you I'm not buying!" In the local language
Good video Eddie , quick question to you on ur eva flight was everyone forced to wear a mask on the whole journey to bangkok or was in people’s own choice cheers
The rule is to wear a mask but most didn't bother. Have one handy just in case
@@STEADY599 cheers Eddie thanks for replying enjoy ur hols
The Sales girls were Charming...
Where are the tourists? The place seems empty. Giant markets with no one there. Are there any bars with ladies in them? I will say it is very clean and well taken care of.
Eddy said before in the day time most are out seeing Angkor Wat which has 72 major temples covering 400 acres & get out in the Town in the evening.
whats the lady situation like there ed? still cheaper than thailand i imagine
Lived there for a while and really liked it... Just two issues I had, one was the medical care and the other was dating. Seems to be a difficult task trying to find normal women who were open for dating.
Good for you Edd I plan to revisit this area, -4 here this would be a perfect location to break the winter up. Bloody great video. Cheers 🍻
Pleasant indeed. Also quaint and charming. :-) But not the deafening Pub Street!
Thank you
I need to go somewhere end of feb for a month when my visa runs out , would you recommend Cambodia or Vietnam for my first visit, just for sightseeing in the day really
Vietnam has lots to offer
@@STEADY599 cheers steady , I will start looking at Vietnam then over Christmas and decide where to go and fly into, have a great trip bud
good show 👍👍👍
Great video 🍺
Cheers mate
eddie is a very pleasent guy lol
I was there , we stopped going to that market because of all the pressure to buy something & it's all shite , so just went for a beer
I can see the old but still well kept buildings built during the French administration similar to southern mediterranian France.
What..no steak at the red piano?! 🎹
Tempted, but I've done a video on that.
Steady Eddie, generally luv the flogs mate
Cheers mate
Will you be going to sihanoukville Eddie????
Don't know yet
Don’t go Chinese ruin the beach
@@johnnorris4509 any other beach towns in Cambodia??
Tempted to book to spend Xmas there, given the amount of global warming I had to scrape off the car this morning.
Ed, are you going to try amok fish (amok trei)? It’s one of Cambodia’s famous national dishes, and it’s scrumptious!
I'll try and give it a go
Was there in 2017. Even in the daytime it was busy than. Yes I would not be able to go through the market streets. My heart would break.
Good move on leaving the market quickly Ed. No point falsely rasing the seller's expectations. Not a big fan of markets either. Laughed when I heard the alcohol poisoning quip. On the other hand it could be happy hour for the fish.

great video eddie enjoyed that
Thanks mate
It seems the sellers are a little more persistent than in Thailand.
How much is bar girls there does it work same as Thailand
risk something, you can always have the baggette butter n eggs side as insurance
Wow, that place is so quiet compared to Thailand.
Edward no doubt a beautiful place along with you and it's people .
A bit off putting having them come after you trying to sell you something .
As you said I hate seeing someone struggle to make a living , makes you feel guilty but you really don't need the stuff .
It does spoil an afternoon look around for a tourist , not really interested in artefacts and souvenirs .
and thats another reason to love Thailand .No high pressure sales .
@@anthonydowling3356 really got asked a lot of kids and ladies to buy crap all the time. The worse it ever been.
Eddy, sure not many of your subscribers would know what a "bizzy box" is - indeed not many non-scousers🤣
What can I get in siem reap I can't get in Thailand?
I'm just asking,I genuinely want to know.

2 for $5 fat guy sized shirt? You can’t beat that deal! Although Probably after the first wash. It would be a belly shirt. 😂
7:30. She's beautiful Steady Eddy! Buy something from her
Enjoy be careful, what about happy ending 😎
Where are the girly bar's and where do the freelancers roam?
great vibes as always, gives us a feel what it's like over there :D
Fast Eddie again! Oh boy.
Rent, or buy a bike. You can buy a bike for $100 approx' and $2 per day....
At least you would have no problem in getting a T Shirt even if you didn't want one
When are you going to review the brass price edd
Brass ? do you not mean Gold and silver ?
Eddy you are, and will always be, an excellent speaker and tour guide. Everything you talk about is interesting and relevant to your followers. Loved the bit of history you included too. I can't wait to visit Siem Reap after watching this.
Thanks, Joe. I appreciate that

got to 9min and 53 sec and not a beer to be seen, consult a doctor Eddie

why not this place looks quiet sincere compared to thailand virgin territory
