I’m so glad to hear lots of foreigners mention about friendliness of Khmer people. Without any doubt, we are among in the list of being the friendliest people in the world. As you can see the smiling faces of bayon temple’s towers mark as the exact evidence of this characteristic since ancient time.
@@Chai_Travelthanks for understanding, and we’re sorry for every inconveniences because Cambodia is still recovering from war and a developing country. You can come back 10 or 20 years laters I’m sure everything will be even better ❤
Hello! As a citizen here i'm very proud to call this my home. Yes, there are a lot to improve on but compared to let's say 10 20 years ago it's great. I'm interested in the videos that you made, if you are interested we could meet up in phnom penh and i could give u a close up insight of what we Cambodians think of cambodia's history, culture etc. Thanks for clearing the negativity around cambodia!
Excellent interviews in this vlog ! The perspectives James offered were quite valuable. My first visit to Thailand was in 1982. I lived and worked in Thailand for 11 years 1994 - 2005. My daughter is Thai (dual national). I raised her in the USA since she was 5 years old (she's now 22, university grad and working in NYC). I'm returning to SE Asia in 5 months... but to Cambodia...., not Thailand... for the very reasons James began to mention before you stopped him. I enjoy your channel, thanks.
@@theparitt is your GDP $1 million per capita? Is everyone in your country own 5 cars , own houses and land? Are you all eat 5 meals a day? If your answer is No then you’re not much better than anyone in the region.
The last time I was in Cambodia was in 2002 and the Sorya shopping center just opened in Phnom Penh. I think it was the first mall/building in the country with escalators. When I went there for the grand opening all of the locals that were there had no idea what an escalator was and how to use them. What a weird site it was. There was also only a handful of traffic lights in the entire city and garbage piled up everywhere. Now PP looks like any other city in SE Asia.
cambodians treat thais better in in cambodia than vice versa. khmers get discriminated in thailand and looked down upon. this has been happening for centuries. asians tend to be hierarchal and pick on the guy lower on the totem pole. we won't be below them much longer. anyone that has been around cambodians know that we have the right mentality and drive to uplift our country. it was only because of the war set us back and only ended in 1999.
@@andrewyt2598 the best form of revenge is to succeed. one day we will make cambodia famous and a respected country. even if it take 1000 years we will persevere and be better than them.

Let rise cambodia 🇰🇭 only time can tell who gonna be better than who and it will not take long to know who gonna be better than who . With all the look down disrespect discrimination against cambodian from thai it will only make us stronger and better than before .
I agree with you, I have 4 brothers and we will always fight for Cambodia. We are living across the world finding success ingredients to help Cambodia and hopefully one day we will come back and invest and lift the Cambodia economy 👑🇰🇭
Thanks again for the vid, Chai 👌🏻 I'm gonna put myself out there a little bit by saying that my recent trip there was way off what I was expecting, I feel like I didn't get value for money like I do in Vietnam and was shocked at how expensive things have become for travellers, agree that the people are lovely and my interactions with them were the highlight, looking fwd to the next vid!
A sincere comment 🙏 I definitely experienced a similar thing. Some places are extremely expensive when comparing it to different parts of the country or with other countries. I hope it will balance out a little as it may scare a big group of travelers off 😅 thanks for your input 🏆 see you in the next!
The neighboring countries don’t want tourists to visit Cambodia. They still relate Cambodia as a war torn country. But Cambodia is a gem in Southeast Asia.
Hello, Chai! I truly appreciated your compliments even from other people. I really hope you enjoy the rest of the day spending time in Cambodia. Very glad to see you being happy in Phnom Penh and other cities in Cambodia! Keep up the good works on the videos you're making! ❤
first time i went to phnom penh there were unpaved dirt roads in the city center, not the major roads but some of the side streets. the tallest building in the city was Sorya Mall which is 7 floors tall, and there was nothing built on the other side of the river at all. can't remember the year exactly, think it would be about 2005
I am so happy Cambodia survived Covid, but I'm not quite sure about the facemasks out in the open air??😊 I lived in PP for 10 years, and now it has changed😢I not sure if I could live there for another 10 years. The ppl are friendly, but a lot are shy😊but it's certainly worth a short visit.😂
Thanks you so much Chai Travel that you You share real good and bad things about Cambodia to all foreigners to the world to know . LOVE YOU CHAI TRAVEL 💖 From Cambodia people 🇰🇭🙏
Chai, I’m Cambodian living in the US; just wanted to say I enjoyed your show very much. The reason why Thailand is full of negative towards Cambodia is its history, rivalry and egotistical. History: as a refugee during the KR, Thais military mistreated a lot of refugees; rivalry & egotistical: Thailand never been colonized by outsider, so it’s their right to be prideful about its history. Most Thais who said Cambodia is not good to visit is they never step foot in Cambodia.
Because Cambodian people create many lies and distortions. Cambodia violates every Thai copyright, whether it's music, food, drama, or even Thai culture, costumes, or even Muay Thai. Kunkhmer asked ifma (International Federation of Muaythai Associations) for permission to use the rules of Muay Thai in the SEA Games. But when it comes to the Cambodian SEA Games, disqualify Muay Thai and change the name to use the word Kunkhmare instead of Muay Thai. Plus an announcement impersonating to create fake news telling Kunkhmare the original Muay Thai Thai people don't need to go to Cambodia, nowadays Thai people even want to expel Cambodian people. came to live in Thailand, escaped into the city illegally, became a beggar and many criminals in Thailand Cambodian people come to Thailand to take video clips claiming many ancient sites in Thailand, telling them that this place once belonged to Cambodia. Thailand used to help provide refuge to Cambodians and give them the opportunity to work in Thailand. But the Cambodian people have always repaid Thailand by creating distorted news and always thinking badly of the Thai people. Including the burning of the Thai embassy and trampling on the portrait of the Thai king. If you follow the social network, you will see the people of your country distorting the history almost everything, lying everything to slander Thailand.
On the burning of the Thai embassy by creating lies accusing Thai stars of insulting Cambodian people to this day, there has never been evidence where Thai celebrities speak insulting Cambodians. Hun Sen distorts his own people because elections are imminent. And the problem that occurred during this time as well, many stories spread fake news accusing Thai people of creating fake news to deceive their own people.
I’m Thai living in the US as well. I agree for the most part. I’d say it’s also ignorance and social media. I have many, many Cambodian friends here in the US and have visited Cambodia twice in the past. I would also say as neighbours they should get along and for us and media, including RUclipsr, let’s not perpetuate it any further. Thanks.
I visited and I impress for the Ankor wat. And no idea about people. But I just found so many bad comment to Thai from Cambodians so I have some idea about Cambodian already.
There some Thai actor's and singer's in Cambodia like loar hour YAYA and Cambodians love and adore them but being Cambodian in Thailand is a whole different story. A sad story 😭
Its different but in same situation. malaysian people love our music, food, movies, and all of our old kingdom history. But they look down our poor people who work in malaysia. Its make me sad.
Thanks for your insights and what country are you from ? And what do think of Cambodia,yourself, after you have obtained many others’ opinions about Cambodia ?
Hi there! I love ur video and the third person you interview are James we call him teacher James and remember he said that he teach an international school? Yep that’s the school I’m in and that the worst part teacher James had left at June 14 2024 it is a sad news and that just 2 days already I miss him… a lot he was our best English teacher he always make us laugh and that the fact that he say that our class were the best and also… I would like to thank you a lot because this video is the only video where I could see the face and hear the voice of the world best English teacher in history thank you for all of this and welcome to Cambodia ! :D❤
The young man from Wales at the end, “Travel. Your money will return but your time won’t.” Yes, do it if you can, but also plan for your future and take responsibility for life. I guess try to make money in it traveling if that’s the lifestyle you want. For me, there’s only a couple places I want to see. I’m comfortable setting in my own place and not having to live from a hotel to hotel.
Ahaa:) I guess it comes down to personal preference. I think (especially if you’re young) it’s good to see how other cultures are and how diverse countries are looking. See perspective. Anyway thanks for leaving a comment:) it’s good to know who’s watching 🏆 cheers
Go build a house, Chai! And you'd get some great videos out of it. And think of those big muscles you'd come home with after hand-mixing all that concrete! Inona will love it. BTW, I didn't sent that image of the dark text as I noticed many channels are doing that, so it is something on my settings I think. Comes and goes, but then, my computer is often a mystery to me. Safe travels. Oh, BTW, I borrowed your "Subtitles in 12 languages" for my videos. I think a very good look. Please treat is as an homage. (:
Haha if I only had half the money to do so 🤭 💪 I think Ilona would love that indeed 😜 aaah thanks for the follow up. And I’ll be able to give RUclips some feedback on it anyway 😊 no worries mate. I see it as a compliment 😃 it’s one big RUclips family
I think we should focus on our brothers and sisters who are respectful and be nice :) I believe there are way more people good than bad. No matter which country ❤️
Love your video 🥰 9:32 it’s 2023 and our neighbor is still keep coloring us. How many more year are you going to keep doing it. 😅 A Thai tuk tuk driver scammed the tourist in Thai and when the tourist ask where he from, he said he’s Cambodia come to work in Thai, and the fact that Thai’s law doesn’t allow foreigner to work as tuk tuk driver, so Thai police go to check on him, turn out he is Thai. Luckily the tourists is a vloger, if no Cambodia will be the on to be blame again.
Thai people look down on Cambodia on general , not all of them. I think in general thai look down on their neighboring countries like Laos, Burma, and Cambodia cuz we have lower economic than them. But now, we are much more advance used to, and continue to grow. Infact, a lot of ppl refer to Phnom Penh as Bangkok like 20-30 years ago. Cambodia and Laos are beautiful countries!
It's rather silly to compare countries as each has their own economic, political, culture and traditions. Better or worse is a 100% personal choice based on infinite personal reasons. All places are uniquely good and have something to offer.
Yeahh thank you so much chai. Every country always have good side and bad side I’m cambodian but i’m still forgive for Thailand that always make Cambodi look bad. Yeah Cambodia it’s not perfect country but the Cambodian people will welcome you with warm feelings ❤️
I lived in Cambo for almost a decade, it was a much nicer place in 2005 to 2012, one shouldn't form strong impressions about anywhere or its inhabitants in less than a month, also the political repression, extreme corruption, crime, and human rights abuses can only be ignored for so long
As a Thai, I agree with you that there have been negative thoughts about Cambodia from Thais. It is due to the recent conflicts about cultures between both country's netizens on internet. The issue has been also exacerbated by Cambodia's government for patriotism as Cambodia is moving toward new national election. In my opinion, in terms of people hospitality, we Thailand are no different to Cambodia. Both countries share common cultures, religion and geography. I am glad to see good foreigner's experiences in all SouthEast Asian countries.
For my own safety I wouldn’t like to go into politics. But I’m glad you see that you see Cambodia and Thailand are similar when it come to hospitality 🙏 I really hope Cambodia and Thailand (especially its people) are living more in unity. Thanks for watching 🏆
@greenandshadow tbh I hardly ever face discrimination from Vietnamese and myself have a Vietnamese friend so I actually don’t really care or hates bout them
LOL a white man called Thais out for talking nonsense about Cambodia and now you're trying to play all innocent. Thais just trying to save face around their farang masters
Cambodia is nice country but i had bad experience about Cambodia when i was on holiday i go to masag the change my money put fake money money on my wallet just be careful the still your money
just common sense, if people expected to be very nice and clean and very modernize then expect the cost of high living standard pretty much come with that, right?
A pretty horrible place is Phnom Penh, particularly for people who like to explore the heart of a city on foot. The authorities need to start showing respect for walkers, be they locals or foreign tourists, and start uncluttering their sidewalks. Not all visitors want to ride around in tuk-tuks all day.
I guess it’s not for everyone but I really like Phnom Penh :) it’s a little annoying that every 100 meters you get approached by a tuk tuk driver and that there are quite a lot of pickpockets around but other than that it’s very nice to me and it’s has developed quite a lot too 😊 thanks for watching anyway
@@Chai_Travel Points taken. I had a nightmare trying to navigate round the streets there on foot. Many of these streets were without sidewalks, or if they did have one, it was so cluttered that you were continually forced onto the road. Norodom Boulevard is an exception to this as is the riverside esplanade, the latter usually being dark with foot traffic. Yep, the tuk-tuk taxistas are always way over pestering. They are even worse in Siem Reap.
What changed In Phnom Penh? Large area developed into a Gambling area/village, by Chinese. Backpacker area "Lakeside" practically gone. Lake filled in and built on. Phnom Penh is a cool City. The only problem is the lack of decent quality Budget accommodation/ Dorms.
The only problem with Cambodia is people willing to pay double for a car export from other country which result in a bad investment. Such as some car like Ford mustang 2018 only cost around 15k in USA but after it import into Cambodia, the car price sky rocket into 35k and peoole are willing to buy it as well. That is such a big problem in Cambodia right now. I hope Cambodia will follow the European and Japanese when it comes to hatchback car with reasonable price so we can finally focus on what truly matters.
Well, a car is not an investment it's a liability regardless of it's cost or location. As for the cost, the import tax regime is public information so you can choose to spend or not. This is not unique to Cambodia.
@@walsakaluk4630 What unique in Cambodia is people are so poor but willing to borrow money from the bank to pay for a car that is overpriced with insane interest rate. That is one of the factors why Cambodians are still poor, we become so matatrialistic.
Where does the Khmer come from? For good understanding, I would like to present a fact that many people do not want to accept. We apologize here. This is something that Western historians have never researched or discussed. Calling the ancient Khom (Varman), the creator of Angkor Wat, as "Khmer" is absolutely incorrect. Because ancient Khom lost its name when the Khmer people (Mr. Sweet Melon) the slave leader who led the rebellion killed some of his masters and became king. For a long time, it was absurd to take over the temple city of Khmer slaves who could not find any reason and result at all to deceive each other in order to dispel the fact that they were the bloodline of slaves and the Khmer people could not give any reasonable answer. This is not possible at all. - Why did slaves become kings? - Why did the Khom dynasty disappear from history? Why did Lavo, the creator of Ayothaya, who was a relative or ally of Nakhon Wat, who had never fought a war, the slave rebelled and killed Khom Woraman Lavo, Ayothaya immediately raised an army to attack Nakhon Wat. After the slavery a man called Mr. Sweet Melon became king, and Nakhon Wat progressed to collapse. Then the Khmer people could not build or repair the stone castle again. Culture declined and compared to the contemporary kingdom after Nakhon Wat "Ayothaya and the neighborhood" and Ayothaya has great buildings with high art. Each neighborhood is almost no different from the forest people hiding in a bamboo fence without any buildings comparable to Nakhon Wat. For hundreds of years, the Khmer people have been weak and defeated.
That is actually a lie. My buddy has been living in Phnom Penh since the early 2000's with his Cambodian wife. She said that their silk wheels are stored and covered in dust. She said they actually buy the scarfs from China.
Why would you advertise the killing fields as a tourist attraction. It’s the first thing people tell you to go and see when you arrive and I can assure you it’s not worth $2 tuk tuk ride. These places need actual attractions unfortunately there’s nothing really worthwhile there
It certainly isn't an attraction, but a must do to learn about the history of Cambodia, the brutal part which whole world should know about. Very tragic and unforgettable part of Cambodia.
The reason why Thais are not happy with Cambodians these days because a lot of Cambodians accused Thailand of stealing their culture and Cambodians have the right to claim and use Thai costumes, culture, and everything. By the way, Thailand had control over Cambodia for hundreds of years and have been helping them financially until now in form of scholarships, financial aids, know-how, etc.
are you getting paid by thai companies? lol you were so afraid to step on any toes.. not even wanting James the interviewee to have his opinion about Khmer people being a "little" more laid back... which isn't even a controversial statement...
I’m so glad to hear lots of foreigners mention about friendliness of Khmer people. Without any doubt, we are among in the list of being the friendliest people in the world. As you can see the smiling faces of bayon temple’s towers mark as the exact evidence of this characteristic since ancient time.

For me, there’s only a couple places I want to see. I’m comfortable setting in my own place and not having to live from a hotel to hotel.
Ahaa:) I guess it comes down to personal preference. I think (especially if you’re young) it’s good to see how other cultures are and how diverse countries are looking. See perspective. Anyway thanks for leaving a comment:) it’s good to know who’s watching 🏆 cheers
THATS CRAZY!!!!!
Great job Chai
Thanks a lot 😁 have a good day
Go build a house, Chai! And you'd get some great videos out of it. And think of those big muscles you'd come home with after hand-mixing all that concrete! Inona will love it. BTW, I didn't sent that image of the dark text as I noticed many channels are doing that, so it is something on my settings I think. Comes and goes, but then, my computer is often a mystery to me. Safe travels. Oh, BTW, I borrowed your "Subtitles in 12 languages" for my videos. I think a very good look. Please treat is as an homage. (:
Haha if I only had half the money to do so 🤭 💪 I think Ilona would love that indeed 😜 aaah thanks for the follow up. And I’ll be able to give RUclips some feedback on it anyway 😊 no worries mate. I see it as a compliment 😃 it’s one big RUclips family
I like your video..thank you for your kindness tho 😊
So nice of you 😊 thank you
អគុណច្រើន។
Nice video.
Thank you 😊
Some Thai not all . I also have a few Thai friend they good people . Only some they have mental cultural problem. that talk shit about cambodia.
I think we should focus on our brothers and sisters who are respectful and be nice :) I believe there are way more people good than bad. No matter which country ❤️
This give a more Positive view off Cambodja. 🙏
😊 it does. It’s a really nice country filled with great adventures 😊
JUST FINALLY FOUND!!!!!!
អគុណបងឆាយ🙏
OMG!!!
Love your video 🥰
9:32 it’s 2023 and our neighbor is still keep coloring us. How many more year are you going to keep doing it. 😅 A Thai tuk tuk driver scammed the tourist in Thai and when the tourist ask where he from, he said he’s Cambodia come to work in Thai, and the fact that Thai’s law doesn’t allow foreigner to work as tuk tuk driver, so Thai police go to check on him, turn out he is Thai. Luckily the tourists is a vloger, if no Cambodia will be the on to be blame again.
Thai people look down on Cambodia on general , not all of them. I think in general thai look down on their neighboring countries like Laos, Burma, and Cambodia cuz we have lower economic than them. But now, we are much more advance used to, and continue to grow. Infact, a lot of ppl refer to Phnom Penh as Bangkok like 20-30 years ago. Cambodia and Laos are beautiful countries!
nice video
Thanks🏆
It's rather silly to compare countries as each has their own economic, political, culture and traditions. Better or worse is a 100% personal choice based on infinite personal reasons. All places are uniquely good and have something to offer.
I’d always compare but just not saying better or worse. I love the diversity. I think all of the countries are quite different 😊🏆 thanks again ❤️
OMG TEACHER JAMESSS MY COUSIN TEACHER IN MY SCHOOL
Yeahh thank you so much chai. Every country always have good side and bad side I’m cambodian but i’m still forgive for Thailand that always make Cambodi look bad. Yeah Cambodia it’s not perfect country but the Cambodian people will welcome you with warm feelings ❤️
No country is perfect ❤️ thanks for watching 🙏🏆
ด่าไืทยสารพัดแท้ๆ 😅
I liked the walking briskly interview. And wear more red, it works for you!
😎 haha thank mate
Nice❤
Thanks 😊
I lived in Cambo for almost a decade, it was a much nicer place in 2005 to 2012, one shouldn't form strong impressions about anywhere or its inhabitants in less than a month, also the political repression, extreme corruption, crime, and human rights abuses can only be ignored for so long
thanks u
Thank you 🙏
❤️😍😍
is internet access restricted there? Thanks!
Thinks like Facebook, WhatsApp, RUclips, Google you’re able to use normally 😁
8:08 he crossing the road like a pro

The Khmer people are the happiest people around. The food is the best in southeast Asia
I first went to Cambodia 20 years ago, have been back and forth over the years. Huge changes. Love Cambodia and its people.
As a Thai, I agree with you that there have been negative thoughts about Cambodia from Thais. It is due to the recent conflicts about cultures between both country's netizens on internet. The issue has been also exacerbated by Cambodia's government for patriotism as Cambodia is moving toward new national election.
In my opinion, in terms of people hospitality, we Thailand are no different to Cambodia. Both countries share common cultures, religion and geography. I am glad to see good foreigner's experiences in all SouthEast Asian countries.
For my own safety I wouldn’t like to go into politics. But I’m glad you see that you see Cambodia and Thailand are similar when it come to hospitality 🙏 I really hope Cambodia and Thailand (especially its people) are living more in unity. Thanks for watching 🏆
@greenandshadowVietnam is pretty ok now ay?
@greenandshadow tbh I hardly ever face discrimination from Vietnamese and myself have a Vietnamese friend so I actually don’t really care or hates bout them
@greenandshadow for the land.. ig I won’t go into that and let politics does it jobs
LOL a white man called Thais out for talking nonsense about Cambodia and now you're trying to play all innocent. Thais just trying to save face around their farang masters
The Australian chick was sensational.
She’s doing good to the world ❤️🙏
Hy bro ..omi want to come in cambodia but i dont have pass vaccin ?

That’s right 😊 no need ✅
Yo James is my teacher at school 😳
That’s funny! Maybe you’re able to share this video with your school mate 😜
Cambodia is nice country but i had bad experience about Cambodia when i was on holiday i go to masag the change my money put fake money money on my wallet just be careful the still your money
Thailand ☕
just common sense, if people expected to be very nice and clean and very modernize then expect the cost of high living standard pretty much come with that, right?
💯😊
🇰🇭🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤you
Thanks for watching
Went in 2000 looks better now in some ways
Thanks :) I think so too. It’s a lot cleaner I can imagine 😊 thanks for watching
I visited Cambodia once in 2005 that was enough no desire to ever go back.
A pretty horrible place is Phnom Penh, particularly for people who like to explore the heart of a city on foot. The authorities need to start showing respect for walkers, be they locals or foreign tourists, and start uncluttering their sidewalks. Not all visitors want to ride around in tuk-tuks all day.
I guess it’s not for everyone but I really like Phnom Penh :) it’s a little annoying that every 100 meters you get approached by a tuk tuk driver and that there are quite a lot of pickpockets around but other than that it’s very nice to me and it’s has developed quite a lot too 😊 thanks for watching anyway
@@Chai_Travel Points taken. I had a nightmare trying to navigate round the streets there on foot. Many of these streets were without sidewalks, or if they did have one, it was so cluttered that you were continually forced onto the road. Norodom Boulevard is an exception to this as is the riverside esplanade, the latter usually being dark with foot traffic. Yep, the tuk-tuk taxistas are always way over pestering. They are even worse in Siem Reap.
I feel tried when you walk and asking question peoples. Its make me tried.
Thanks for letting me know 🤭
ភ្នំពេញមិនទាន់សូវមានភាពល្អច្រើននៅឡើយ
Coming soon 😊
What changed In Phnom Penh?
Large area developed into a Gambling area/village, by Chinese.
Backpacker area "Lakeside" practically gone. Lake filled in and built on.
Phnom Penh is a cool City.
The only problem is the lack of decent quality Budget accommodation/ Dorms.
I need a business invitation letter from Cambodia. Can anybody help?
I’m sorry I don’t know. Hopefully someone does 😊
The only problem with Cambodia is people willing to pay double for a car export from other country which result in a bad investment.
Such as some car like Ford mustang 2018 only cost around 15k in USA but after it import into Cambodia, the car price sky rocket into 35k and peoole are willing to buy it as well.
That is such a big problem in Cambodia right now.
I hope Cambodia will follow the European and Japanese when it comes to hatchback car with reasonable price so we can finally focus on what truly matters.
I’m pretty sure that there are bigger issues than that 😅 but that’s for the info about the import cost of cars.
@@Chai_Travel The biggest issue is Cambodian people are becoming more materialistic which lead to corruption and long term failure.
Well, a car is not an investment it's a liability regardless of it's cost or location.
As for the cost, the import tax regime is public information so you can choose to spend or not.
This is not unique to Cambodia.
@@walsakaluk4630 What unique in Cambodia is people are so poor but willing to borrow money from the bank to pay for a car that is overpriced with insane interest rate.
That is one of the factors why Cambodians are still poor, we become so matatrialistic.
Cambodia is a land locked country. Anytime a country doesn't have access to big ports along the ocean, their economy will be stifled.
Where does the Khmer come from?
For good understanding, I would like to present a fact that many people do not want to accept. We apologize here.
This is something that Western historians have never researched or discussed. Calling the ancient Khom (Varman), the creator of Angkor Wat, as "Khmer" is absolutely incorrect. Because ancient Khom lost its name when the Khmer people (Mr. Sweet Melon) the slave leader who led the rebellion killed some of his masters and became king.
For a long time, it was absurd to take over the temple city of Khmer slaves who could not find any reason and result at all to deceive each other in order to dispel the fact that they were the bloodline of slaves and the Khmer people could not give any reasonable answer. This is not possible at all.
- Why did slaves become kings?
- Why did the Khom dynasty disappear from history?
Why did Lavo, the creator of Ayothaya, who was a relative or ally of Nakhon Wat, who had never fought a war, the slave rebelled and killed Khom Woraman Lavo, Ayothaya immediately raised an army to attack Nakhon Wat.
After the slavery a man called Mr. Sweet Melon became king, and Nakhon Wat progressed to collapse. Then the Khmer people could not build or repair the stone castle again. Culture declined and compared to the contemporary kingdom after Nakhon Wat "Ayothaya and the neighborhood" and Ayothaya has great buildings with high art. Each neighborhood is almost no different from the forest people hiding in a bamboo fence without any buildings comparable to Nakhon Wat. For hundreds of years, the Khmer people have been weak and defeated.
If you get time Silk Island is a good day, hand woven scarfs from their own silk worms.
Nice tip! Sorry we’ve already planned everything for this trip in Cambodia 😊 I’ll definitely keep a note for next time Roni
That is actually a lie. My buddy has been living in Phnom Penh since the early 2000's with his Cambodian wife. She said that their silk wheels are stored and covered in dust. She said they actually buy the scarfs from China.
@mylifethaid, when I was there 2016-2018 I saw the process from cocoon to the weavers and actual scarf making, didn't look Chinese to us.
There are a few vlogs on the Silk Island community weaving and hand making their silk products.
Why would you advertise the killing fields as a tourist attraction. It’s the first thing people tell you to go and see when you arrive and I can assure you it’s not worth $2 tuk tuk ride. These places need actual attractions unfortunately there’s nothing really worthwhile there
It certainly isn't an attraction, but a must do to learn about the history of Cambodia, the brutal part which whole world should know about. Very tragic and unforgettable part of Cambodia.
Much less masks than Bangkok, good to see
Almost non 😁

Came to Cambodia to build houses? So Cambodians are incapable of building houses? Wow - sad.
😂 *promosm*
The reason why Thais are not happy with Cambodians these days because a lot of Cambodians accused Thailand of stealing their culture and Cambodians have the right to claim and use Thai costumes, culture, and everything. By the way, Thailand had control over Cambodia for hundreds of years and have been helping them financially until now in form of scholarships, financial aids, know-how, etc.
are you getting paid by thai companies? lol you were so afraid to step on any toes.. not even wanting James the interviewee to have his opinion about Khmer people being a "little" more laid back... which isn't even a controversial statement...
I wish some Thai company is paying :p but I'm pro South East Asia and I do don’t think any country is better than the other
@@Chai_Travel LoL :D Keep up homie G. You're doing a great job! At least someone is paying :D
