    Hello Tia & Cheveyo. I'm subscribed your channel in the first Thailand vlog. Yesterday I just watched all the videos on your channel. The 4 months that you guys have been here in Thailand is so fast. I'm so glad you guys traveled safely to Cambodia. I really hope Cambodians will give you a warm welcome. Travel safely.😘

    • @OnePackWanderers

    @THAIRISH_92 2 года назад +1

    Half Thai half Irish here. Fuckin love Cambo. Has that sense of lawlessness that Thailand doesn't have. A real 'do what you will' vibe. It doesn't suit everyone. Also, Phnom Penh now is still more chaotic than Bangkok was 30 years ago. Bangkok always had an internationally-known feeling to it, we didn't go through the same tragedy and hardship that the Khmer people went through. I hope things get better for the Khmer, but at the same time I hope they retain that sense of wild. Siem Reap is quite small, fairly peaceful but still has that sense of lawlessness. Phnom Penh, as well as the rest of Cambo, are having the special aspect slowly evaporate as a result of the Chinese. Still, Cambo really is the last of a dying South-East Asia. I recommend you visit the Dirty Old Sailor pub. It's my favourite. Enjoy!

    When I was there in 2001 I stayed lakeside on a floating guesthouse for $1 a night!! It was awesome but the lake was quite polluted. There was a little mom and daughter run restaurant nearby and they were the sweetest people ever.
    I loved the raw craziness of Phnom Penh. Happy Travels

      Boeung Kak lake has been filled for more than 10 years now. The area is now called Phnom Penh City Center and has some of the most luxurious apartment buildings and one of the best international schools in the capital. For example, please google One Park and Singapore Cambodia International Academy.

    Hey Tia & Cheveyo, always stay at the middle of the bus. You won't get as much motion sickness there (or someone with car sick like that lady). Especially if you ride in Cambodia and Vietnam cause the road is like 2-3 lanes wide so 200-300km (which normally would take like 2-3 hours ride) gonna take you 5-6 hours. It is not fun at all and I did that and it really drains me.

    • @OnePackWanderers

    Hi Tia and Cheveyo, I am really sorry to hear that your trip from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh was not smooth. I am afraid that your first impressions of Phnom Penh are not inaccurate. It is a chaotic place. People do not follow road rules. So, please be careful. Btw, I admire your dedication. You always seem to do your work around midnight and always upload a new vlog every second day, in spite of often slow Internet and the fatigue at the end of each day. You find time to respond to so many comments. I am absolutely sure that your past employers had always tried to talk you out of resigning. Being such positive and hard-working people, you will do well, whatever you do. In just a few months, you have gathered quite a following. Your vlogs are about things that many of us can relate to and your personality and the chemistry between you two just shine through. Please look after yourselves! btw, the foodcourt you went to (Sorya Mall in the centre of the city, next to the Central Market) is far from being good. If you are spending a few days in Phnom Penh, try the food court at Aeon Mall 1 (reasonable quality and variety and prices)

    • @OnePackWanderers
      @OnePackWanderers  2 года назад +3

      You have us beaming! What an incredibly nice comment. After a few days here, we've noticed you are definitely right. This is a very chaotic city!
      Thank you for the tip about Aeon Mall, we'll definitely check it out (and try to film it).
      Cheers!

    • @OnePackWanderers
      @OnePackWanderers  2 года назад +1

      Hey we're getting to some of these comments really, really late. We partially answered your question in some of the videos that came after this one, I'll respond properly.
      There's definitely not as much street food as in Thailand. It's still there but not to the same level. In Thailand you don't even have to look for it, I think street food is a strongly part of the national identity in Thailand than it is in Cambodia.

  • @SteveHodgkiss1
    @SteveHodgkiss1 2 года назад +2

    I'm a new subscriber to your channel and actually live in Phnom Penh, which is the reason I started watching your videos when one showed up as a recommended watch. A couple of things, for all your readers if possible install the GRAB or PASSAPP app on your phone; it will save you haggling and being overcharged for TukTuks getting around the City. Also, be careful of bag and phone snatchers, as it is worse now with Covid and some are getting desperate. For example just don't leave your bags on TukTuks where they can be easily grabbed. Sitting down on the Riverside at night time you also need to be careful as well, put any bags by your feet when sitting down or hold them. Been here for 4.5 years myself so know the situation. Have a great time.

    • @OnePackWanderers
      @OnePackWanderers  2 года назад +1

      Hey Stephen, thanks for the useful tips! Grab is the first app we downloaded after arriving in Phnom Penh. It's wild how different the tuktuk prices are on Grab compared to in-person.
      Will definitely be mindful of our belonging and surroundings.

    wat i figured was the foodmodel got taken of the shelve the garnish was taken off and the meat got put in the microwave ,,,,, the thing must have been sitting up there since the start of the day , i think the sole of a shoe was more tender

    Hi Tia and Cheveyo! Thanks for covering the bus ride between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh .... itsr eally useful to know and usually never covered. There are probably only 2 safe choices for bus travel in Cambodia ... Giant Ibis for big buses and Larryta (which i think you took) for mini buses. I know the minibus drivers drive at pretty crazy speeds. So you may want to try the large Giant Ibis buses for a few dollars more per ticket. Other than Ibis and Larryta very other bus alternative is pretty dreadful ... and some routes are really especially from the Poipet to Siem Reap for example or along the coast. Hope you travel safe and keep smiling. The smiles are why i keep coming back to your vlogs!

Phnom Penh is always Phnom Penh or maybe even worst these days due to this prime minister is a communist, totalitarian, human right abuser, and only has 4th grade education leader Hun Sen. No intra-fracture built by his government, lawless country, and no democracy. Dissidents, civil rights defenders, and outspoken individuals are all in prison now. So sad to see my birthplace run by this jungle leader and his gangsters, and rampant corruptions are everywhere and every level of government.

      This is an interesting perspective. I admit, we did not know much about Cambodia's current political landscape. Many people in the comments have called Cambodia the Wild West of SEA, and that seems pretty accurate from what we saw.
      Where do you live now?
