  • Hi welcome to Kep Cambodia/Lost Phone/Scammed/Traditional Crab Amok/National Park And More. What an eventful day, Starting off on a low with a disappointing trip to see a cave, then on to Salt Fields where i lost my iphone. After that a lovely ride around Kep National Park i go and get a Cambodian traditional dish the crab amok at the amazing restaurant Holy Crab.
    Finishing off with a night time walk down Kep Beach and showing you the street side street food stall that scammed me the night before charging me three times the normal amount for a horrendous egg fried rice that i didn't even order. They have a cambodian menu and one for foreigners. They were not happy when i got this and translated it, beware of these scams in Cambodia.
    If you would like to support my adventures in order to bring more content, your help would be greatly appreciated❤️

      I’ll be honest mate this is the first time I’ve heard this in over 150,000 views I don’t know how I can make it better. This is raw vlogging

    • @ParkinsonRaw
      @ParkinsonRaw  9 месяцев назад

      I do apologise but I’m an ex builder that works 18hrs a day growing this channel. The constant changes is because in Asian heat cameras heat up so fast if I don’t do that it would take double the amount of time to do a vlog. With doing daily raw vlogs that isn’t possible. I’m so sorry mate but that’s out of my hands. In the future I will cut to 4/5 a week but atm I can’t work any harder

    • @ParkinsonRaw

      Definitely disagree. For raw footage like this it's an A in my book. And I would consider myself pretty critical, sometimes I watch the videos I film back and notice how swift or jagged the movements are, but the videos I've seen on here have all been as steady as any of the really popular vloggers.

    You can build all the resorts you want, but if tourists don't see value for money and time, they won't be back and they will tell others. Cheap scams, lousy food and muddy roads put people off spending their tourist dollars there.

      That’s right unfortunately mate, I seen vids of Thailand today and it’s absolutely rammed. Then look at Kep and it’s 95% locals, that’s the difference. They know how important tourism/infrastructure is to their countries economy and that shines through.

      Definitely Paul, all I’ve heard from the locals is it’s very quiet. I tell them it’s because you use your streets like a tip and you milk tourists like they’re a cash cow. There attitude towards their country and the people that visit needs to change very fast. Word spreads and before they know it the whole country will be a ghost town.

      I'm in kampot right now and it is a little bit quiet. I think it's a lot to do with the road to Sihanouk ville, it's an absolute disgrace , almost impassable, it's taking 4 hours to reach the main highway, the PP to Sihanouk road, it's crazy , they said it would be fixed in November but nothings happened yet.... As for the rip offs , we just have to learn to ask the price before we buy . Most can speak English but if you can ask in Khmer you will usually get a good price.

    I know where ill be having my crab by the water when in Kep. And I also know where to go if I want to have the worst meal in cambodia 😂
    I'm honestly curious how bad it is.
    When it comes to the foreigner tax, I hate that, but I get it as well. It isn't fair either way actually becauae they earn much less but at the same time, at least add %10 or %15 not double or triple.
    As far as the trash issue, any government whether black or white needs to make that a priority. Good on you for bringing it up. There's nice things and bad things in every country around the world.

    • @ParkinsonRaw
      @ParkinsonRaw  9 месяцев назад +1

      There is mate, I’ll be honest I don’t get it at all. If anybody visited the UK would you be happy paying anything on top?
      Fact is their cost of buying the food/taxes/overheads and the cost of living is much much less. To be fair they don’t pay for most of them. So I think It should be even. In Thailand you don’t get this because they know tourism are vital to their way of life and that’s why the country is head and shoulders economy wise in front of Cambodia.
      They don’t use us as a cash cow. If you look at Thailand right now it’s just hit high season and it’s jam packed with tourists. Then look at Kep beach. All locals and next to no tourists, it’s a big indicator.
