I am from Ethiopia and Cambodian people are the most friendly people and lovely I used to be a neighbor with a lot of cambodians people in Philadelphia and they used to make me food with banana and sausage I think!
Day One Daddy agreed. They live in nature so purely and calm. The last thing these beautiful people need is to be modernized. Their way of life is perfect and shouldn’t be tampered with!
this man is always happy , always smiling, never seen him sad and honestly I don't want to see him sad . love the guy!!! keep it up buddy ,,,,, much love!! god bless you!
he could be beating his wife while drunk at night for all we know,lol..jk but seriously yes, this is just for the camera, you can't have a properly functioning brain and always be in this "mood".
As an American, it is always very humbling for me to see how other cultures live. We can take for granted the luxuries that we have here and these great people make the very best of all that they have. Mark the quality and clarity of your videos are excellent, you are truly a wonderful and genuine human being. With all the horrible things going on in the world, this planet can use a lot more people like you, god bless you and your awesome family.
Finally, this video feels more cambodian than the last few videos, Real cambodian food, no vietnamese looking dishes haha Village living is so peaceful.
Kampong Cham is next to Vietnam of course the food is similar or will have Vietnamese influence. My family so from Kampong Cham and we eat a lot of Vietnamese food.
Micah is getting the best education in humanities,food and culture! The ultimate home schooling! Love watching the videos each week and seeing your family.
People who dislike this videos are idiots . You honesty have no clue on what or how it feels to be in their shoes in how they have to live their lives . Cambodia is one of the poorest countries in the world . I'm so glad that mark took the time to go and show us , most importantly me on how my country is . I'm so lucky to be the only one in the family who was born and raise in the US ! As for my family they were refugees and escaped Cambodia to have a better life . I will one day , someday visit my country . Thank you mark for taking the time to show us again . The kids is what really made my heart melt ! They may not have a lot but those smile on their faces is what makes us realized to never take anything for granted!
I used to be one of those kids, now I live in Los Angeles. This video just reminds me of my childhood and how far I have come. Living a life that you don't need to worry about tomorrow, having fun and amuse at every single little things. Thank you Mark for making this video. It shows me that life is not as bad as you think and don't take things for granted.
Seeing a typical Cambodian villiage is heartwarming for me. My wife is Khmer and I am so proud of her heritage. The food you get to eat is delicious and incredible in it's own right. Thanks for recording and posting this experience. I appreciate all your efforts Mark Wiens! Keep going bro!
if mark just nod his head up and down with the phrase "oh wow" it means the food is just normal but if he moves his head to side with eyes closed and also delightful smile it means the food is extremely tasty..
Great video..I love how fresh ingredients are ..you think these people are poor? ..how many off you could eat like this..they are rich and don't even know it!
Excellent work as per usual, Mark. It really humbles you to see how hard people work and the conditions they live in. Yet they are happier than we are. It's all about community spirit and a natural way of life. Thanks for bringing that to us city dwellers!
Those kids are so cute especially that little girl who giggles and run away! hahhaha! I've been to Cambodia last January this year and I love this country. The locals are very kind and very friendly, and they can speak English so you can get along with them easily. Thanks for sharing the experiences you had in this lovable country thru this video! All support and love from your fan in the Philippines! God bless you and your family!
the dad was telling the girl how to cut the chicken and she said i know dad, you just stay still. ahhhh so typical of cambo parents to watch over people and tell them how to do it better
One way to actually get the hardcore OG recipes is to have the locals cook it for you at home. And I'm so envy Mark gets to eat local cuisine homemade. I miss those times I get to do that as a child.
looks soooooo good and tasty ! and the kids are so cheerful and adorable, what a nice village with a nice atmosphere. that's what I like in Cambodia, the Cambodian are always smiling and they're so generous by heart. Amazing people, amazing country.
That was very interesting to me,I was fighting near the border of Vietnam & Cambodia in 1970 and never got to see or appreciate the culture when your trying to stay alive or Kill the enemy,gives me another perspective .
Wow I love it 😍 soo beautiful video I feel like I was traveling to Cambodia 🇰🇭...I have lots of Cambodian friends in my university even they like your video they r very happy 😊
I'll be in Canbodia for a few weeks and will be staying in a homestay. Thank you for providing us an authentic experience and giving us a small glimpse into real Khmer culture. I'm looking forward to my learning experience over there. Appreciate all your food videos as it will help me navigate around the S.E. Asia food scene.
a true source of happiness, is to open your eyes to the world and get out of all your fancy living and lifestyle. just go and explore food, culture and sights. This is what "Mark' is all about. keep it up buddy. And well wishes to Micah and your wife
THIS! Is the reason why I love to travel. Don't give me McDonald's and shopping malls, I want local food, culture and company. Love it! Thank you, Mark and Ying & Micah for showing us this.
Cambodia is one of my favourite places to visit, regarding the varieties of food and the culture. Everything is cheap as well. Hope to visit there again
My grandmother always makes Cambodian curry and we often eat it with vermicelli or bread. Really love to watch you visit my home country because I've yet to visit it myself!
Mark, you are the most humble and happy go lucky person. God bless you me Main. You unite us all through food and your positive outlook on the simple things that can be taken for granted at times.
Had to post again. I went to my local Thai Restaurant in Puyallup Washington. Bangkok Thai. While I was there, the waitress told me she had just got back from a trip to Cambodia and she brought back these cute cup holders. I mentioned that I'd just watched some podcast about the food in Cambodia and how good it look. Then I told her I watch a podcast from Thailand about food and that the person's name was Mark --- and that's as far as I got because she said Wiens? I laughed and said you watch him too! She said yes she knew you. I would say you are getting pretty well known around the world!
Bangkok thai. The owners is Joe. That's just the name he goes by. He told me his real name, but I am terrible trying to pronounce other languages. He had a brother that work there, but he passed away about three years ago. Joe also owns another Bangkok Thai in Enumclaw Washington, not too far from Puyallup. I'm not sure what part of Thailand he is from. I'll have to ask him. He is an amazing cook. He has things there I haven't had in any other Thai restaurant.
those kids were amazing!! my kidlets would have a blast in this part of the world 😁 Micah's future is bright being so blessed by the world he sees. Well done Mark and Ying, for gifting your child with such opportunities and sharing these experiences with us, so that we mighht one day experience them too 😊 p.s. i have no doubt Mark is an amazing father, but Ying, you inspire me to be more adventurous for my kids!! you are AMAZING ❤❤
Chiro village is such a friendly, hardworking place. Thanks for sharing how this rural community and family works together. Good for you for helping to support this project. I wish more tourists could experience these authentic experiences of rural life in Cambodia.
Thanks for introducing another Asian (Cambodian food) side of the World. you are very fortunate to taste the worlds plate and meeting beautiful families - authentic, organic and very welcoming... Hello Little Micah - lots of kisses...
I produced a concert there once after spending 2 weeks in a very poor neighboring province called Prey Veng. We were so happy to eat Kampong Cham food after that!
Hi Mark I really love all of your videos . I don't usually comment . I'm a silent viewer but I just wanted to say that you're doing a great job and keep up the good work Love from Chicago
I honestly dream everyday that I could do this for a living with a family like yours. Love your channel mark! It's crazy to see your channel grow. I've been here sooooo long and it just continues to get better
Mark, I just enjoy how you fit right in with the villagers and locals with out being standoffish and being gross out because they live so completely different from us. It just shows how you are do down to earth and warm with them.
man, ALMOST everything you eat looks so delicious and just so appetizing. how I wish I have a stomach like yours. I was just binge-watching some of your old vids.. 😉😊❤💚💙
Mark. I love that you are non judgemental in your comments anywhere you go. You are enthusiastic in a posh European city as well as in a rural community. Hope u visit Trinidad soon
amazing chiro village ....mark there......it's shows the simplicity n the way people live all around the world...keep those vedios coming....god bless.....please be safe
Great video Mark, I love how you and your family dive into a culture and enjoy their local food and families and how they live and work. I always look forward to your video's ♥
Cambodian food is the best. Especially when your mom cooks it everyday with original authentic recipe. I miss my mom when I watch your videos from their home town. Thank you ❤️
This man travels around the world, eats good food, sight seeing and spends a nice holiday. And the best part is he gets paid to do that. Wow, one of the best ways to live. Great going Mark.
Mark, you are getting so many views on your Cambodia trip videos. I wonder why? Maybe Cambodia is one of the most highly anticipated trips that we've been waiting for you to visit. I am glad that you are enjoying this trip and the food looks amazingly delicious!! Much love from the states.
Me and my boyfriend were hosted by the same family in Chiro in december 2016! it is awesome to recall our stay with your video! Thank you! Grazie! Great experience! Strongly recommended.
I am from Ethiopia and Cambodian people are the most friendly people and lovely I used to be a neighbor with a lot of cambodians people in Philadelphia and they used to make me food with banana and sausage I think!
These Cambodian people are so beautiful and they all look happy .
So sad that for villages, cities, countries, and nations, the European mind is to "civilize" them, aka exploit them.
Day One Daddy agreed. They live in nature so purely and calm. The last thing these beautiful people need is to be modernized. Their way of life is perfect and shouldn’t be tampered with!
@มีปัญญาซื้อ เล่นเอง thai poeple why u don't respect another country🤦♀i'm feeling suprise to see this cmm.😪so rude
this man is always happy , always smiling, never seen him sad and honestly I don't want to see him sad . love the guy!!! keep it up buddy ,,,,, much love!! god bless you!
Jai Nimavat goes a long way!

Mark Wiens no problem Mark your awesome keep up the great work!
Yep, this is real Khmer food.
Kampong Cham is next to Vietnam of course the food is similar or will have Vietnamese influence. My family so from Kampong Cham and we eat a lot of Vietnamese food.
Mark is so genuine. I love his respect for culture, people, and food. His light of positivity definitely shines through.
That's because he's half Asian. Most of the Western foodie channels I've come across isn't as respectful and educated as Mark is.
Yes he is.some may not be
Positivity some culture are defined others.mark he so humble person
He wife too”
Micah is getting the best education in humanities,food and culture! The ultimate home schooling! Love watching the videos each week and seeing your family.

Maybe they dislike just because they are not fond of Mark Wiens??
Some people might not want these types of videos on their recommended... or they just aren't fond of these types of videos?

that curry stew is mild when you eat it with rice,but if you dip some baguette in it and add pieces of meat and veggies on top.....BOMB!.
Mark, you are getting so many views on your Cambodia trip videos. I wonder why?
Maybe Cambodia is one of the most highly anticipated trips that we've been waiting for you to visit.
I am glad that you are enjoying this trip and the food looks amazingly delicious!! Much love from the states.
