Oh my goodness! 🥰🥰 That’s so amazing! We hope you have the best time! He’s such an amazing person. 🫶 Thank you for watching, and for supporting Mr. Kay! Tell him we say “Hi!” ✨
Thank you for this video!! I'm leaving to Cambodia in 5 days and going to Battambang as well. I'm definitely gonna contact the tour guide so thank you so much!!!
l have seen many travel vlogs in Cambodia but ur journey here so far has been one of the best can't for wait for the Phnom Penh vlogs (if there is one)
Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰 There is a Phnom Penh video, it’s where we started our adventure. 😊 You can watch it here: ruclips.net/video/Y3vC4gmaa4s/видео.htmlsi=TxZf6PjMUJGh0r82 Let us know what you think! We’re so happy you enjoy our videos. 🥰🙏 Thanks for watching!
I was in Battambang in 2001. Took an old train from there to almost Phnom Penh. Rode on the roof too. Finished it by motorcycle and taxi. Loved your video. Best stuff happens by luck. Trust the travel gods.
That sounds like so much fun! Way more epic of an adventure than a bus. And you're right - the best experiences are often the unplanned ones. Thanks for watching! 🙏
Hi guy , I left Battambang since 1979. Now I’m residing in the USA, California. Enjoy Battambang , I also having a brother-in-law who’s left the State and started his new life there next to Phnom Sompuve
Hello! We lived in California for a short time! We LOVED our time in Battambang! We had such a lovely experience. That’s cool that your brother has been able to return and start a new life there! Thank you for your comment and for watching our video! 🙏
We are huge tour people, especially from locals to get to know a place from their perspective. And if it is a group you typically get to meet new travel friends! Thank you for sharing his contact information! Also the bats were amazing!! What a cool experience!
It really was! We’re pretty introverted most times, so we often just wing our travel experiences, but when we met Mr. Kay, we instantly vibed with him. It def opened our eyes to a new way to travel. We’ll likely be taking more tours in the future! 👌 Thanks for watching! 🙏
@ I would have never guess you were introverted! But of course really enjoy watching your videos they keep me really engaged. Your voice overs are great!👏👏
Awesome Battambang city, Cambodia! Thank you for sharing your experience. The price is right; what a gold mine! It's a very good place for retirement a definition of bang for your buck. Love Cambodia 🇰🇭
Thanks so much for watching! We were surprised to see so many expats in Battambang, but we can totally understand why. Cambodia is such a beautiful and affordable country. 😊
Hey Mike and Ashley, even though I'm not a Cambodian but I'm so happy for your video, and I'd like to express my sincere appreciate for posting these videos here to promote the genuine and kind heart of the Khmer people in Cambodia. People only know this tiny country as a super poor, undeveloped and pond of war country. Yes, it is Cambodia is still a poor country, but it never happened to their Khmer people who is always has a kind heart, even though many nearby nations always want to swallow us and degrading us. Greetings from the Native Khmer in Mekong delta vietnam (aka Vietnamese Cambodian). All the best to your journey ahead, sok sabay!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your perspective. We feel incredibly grateful to have experienced the warmth and kindness of the Khmer people firsthand. It’s true-there are so many misconceptions about Cambodia, and we’re honored to share stories that show the beauty and resilience of the people beyond those stereotypes. Your message really means a lot to us, and we’re touched to hear from a Native Khmer living in the Mekong Delta. Sok sabay to you as well, and thank you for the warm wishes on our journey! ❤️
The lorries are fun but it’s also becoming dangerous as the line has now become more active recently. 🙏thanks for supporting the locals Ashley and Mike. May the force be with you.
Welcome! Thanks for sharing with the world of Cambodia's Province Battambang. Known for its cuisines, well-preserved French colonial architecture and one of the biggest rice production.😀😀
Loved the video guys and the absolutely highlight for us was the reactions to the whiskey / rice wine! 😂 loved it! 🫶🏼 Oh and we miss those sticky rice bamboo tubes so much! 🙊
Haha, thanks guys! Ashley has hands down the best shot face ever! 😂 They are so good! I wish we'd gotten the bigger one too for later! Thanks for watching guys! 🥰🥰🫶🫶
Great video, i really like your vlogging-style :) i would love to know more about your dengue story. we are traveling in thailand right now and use soffel wherever we go, hopefully it works😂 and i can share your thoughts about tours.. we also like to explore things by ourself, but with a goog guide there is so much fun and a looot of knowledge. lovely greetings
Thank you so much! 😊🙏 That really means a lot! Soffel works great in our experience! We had some other brand for whatever reason and we were not fans. 😂 It's kind of nice to be able to do both! We've had a couple of good ones! And you really do get to know things on a different level. We LOVE Thailand! Enjoy and safe travels! ✨
During the khmer rouge take over. My mom had so much land in battambang, but it was all taken away. My parents escaped to thailand, like most khmer people in battambang and got sponsored to live in the USA. I went back this past month seeing my parents and grandparents land overtaken by new residents and it saddens me.
Oh wow, that’s so sad to hear. It’s good that she was able to escape the terror, but I can imagine how heartbreaking it must be to know that the land was lost to your family. Thank you for sharing your story. 😔🙏
I took the local bus from phnom penh to sieam reap with chickens sacks of rice all local people, was interesting experience, The driver and assistant who,'s job it was to honk the horn at cows on the road and other vechiles😅, Cameback on the river boat through big lake, Was good but worried bit the ferry was overloaded not many life jackets or exits on lower deck,lucky didn't sink,
I think at this part 11:35, they did mention that, loung or liver were taken from the dead body, cook it and then eat it, because eat anything to survive.
Thanks! We were surprised at how well the people we interacted with spoke English. We ran into quite a few expats as well, so it was pretty easy communicating with people while we were there. 😊
Enjoying while powerless in Tampa after hurricane milton. I miss the kingdom of wonder now more than ever since I can't easily tap nto content whenever I want lol. I miss AC, we're in for two back to back scorchers :,)
Oh man, hopefully you’ve gotten power back by now, and that that’s not the worst of it. Our hearts are with you and all those affected by Helene and Milton! 🫶🫶🫶
Love Battambang! The, the honest friendly people, the variety of food, from local yummy to Indian/italian and Japanese probiotic specialty restos. The circus, street murals and riverside life And glad you made it to Well of Shadows and the sombre awful but essential Killing caves. So sorry you got dengue, it's just awful eh.
Couldn’t SIEM RIEP a place where you guys have ALREADY have been dagnabbit!!! 😱😁 Jest kidding on ye folks, but it is interesting that is interesting that you have been to every other Cambodian place for a foreigner otherwise!! 😁😁
We’re going to Siem Reap in our next video! We wanted to end our Journey with Angkor Wat, not start it there. 😊 Hopefully we’ll be able to return and see more of the country! The tough part about RUclips is that the places that get viewed are the main tourist areas where people want to visit, hidden gems are a bit tougher. 🤷♂️🤷♀️
@@mikeandashley Good for you two!! 😁😁Siem Reap is an AWESOME place, you two are gonna LOVE Angkor Wat!! 🥰I myself went there 11 years ago for three days, and not only that, but also had a half a years-long stay long in Cambodia (in 2016, but that came later), so life changes for me!! 😁😁
You brought up the Khmer Rouge twice on this film and this is the untold history about the Khmer Rouge. A family called the Thiounn. On Wikipedia pop up on my computer screen. During the reign of Ang Doung. Vietnam sent a man name Hui to Cambodia to protect the so call Norodom's mother. True or not, keep in mind where did Norodom and Ang Doung reside and what were their activities when they were alive. Hui has a son, and he name him Thiounn or perhaps Trung if the translation from Vietnamese to Khmer, and from Khmer to Romanization wasn't change. The French governing Cambodia was heavily depended on Thiounn. On the public eyes, they were collaborating with the French, but secretly they were funding rebellion against the French. Thiounn then married his son Thiounn Hul to a powerful warlord's daughter of Kandall Province and her name is Bunchann Moly. All five of Thiounn Hul's children held high position during the Khmer Rouge. From Ambassador to the U.N to ministry of education, ministry of health, and ministry of economic and finance. His daughter's husband was also the chief of Khmer Rouge military and at one time was the premier of Cambodia. They were the chief ideology of the Khmer Rouge and what did you get from your tour guide? Please don't insult yourself or the Khmer because the creation of Caodaism only work in Cochin-China and the creation of the Thommayut didn't fool the Khmer.
Thanks so much for sharing this perspective. Cambodia’s history is definitely layered and complicated, and we know there are so many stories that don’t get told often enough. We really appreciate you taking the time to share this with us. When we mentioned the Khmer Rouge, we didn’t mean to oversimplify things or overlook any important details-just wanted to acknowledge a part of Cambodia’s past that has shaped the people we’ve met. Conversations like this help us see the bigger picture, and we’ll definitely keep what you shared in mind moving forward. Thanks again for your thoughtful comment!
Greetings from Honolulu. 14 hours ago, I flew Southwest from San Jose, California to Honolulu, flight is full, good and okay, almost 5 hours, the bin is big and almost full, they have USBA and C port, they have wifi, messaging is free and $8 to use the internet for the whole flight and free entertainment and TV to watch, they hand breakfast and water, which is good, I sleep 2 and a half hours, the seat and recline is good and okay, but unfortunately, I feel cramped because the seat width is bad, 17 inches, I almost don't have enough shoulder room to share with my seatmate, I feel a little uncomfortable, but I am okay and the lavatory is little tight, the sink is small and tiny, it's about the size of my hand.
My pleasure. Yes it was a okay flight. Really your from the US, but never been to Hawaii? Best time to visit Hawaii is October or November to February to April when the weather is normal, good and perfect (note, the weather can be unpredictable and the temperature can be cold in January and February for overnight before sunrise, so bring a jacket just in case).
Oh, wow! That will make travel between the two cities much faster. We did love Giant Ibis though. Best bus service we've ever experienced during our travels.
What I'm about to say is going to be very harsh and sharp contrast from what you have seen. It's like a curtain which you can't see through. There are people behind that curtain are some of those Cambodian peasants who are waiting for their opportunity. Khmer Rouge gave them that opportunity. As the result, they killed almost a half of Cambodian population. Those victims are their own people. It was just the name of communism. They want to be equal. That's right. They wanted everyone to be down to their level. That was exactly what they did under the leadership of those who didn't know how to read or write their own language. They didn't have any education. They told us that their school was the rice field. That tells it all.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and shedding light on this side of Cambodia’s history. It’s clear that there are so many layers to what happened during the Khmer Rouge era, and hearing different perspectives like yours helps us better understand the complexity behind it all. It’s heartbreaking to think about the impact this had on the Cambodian people and how those in power exploited the promise of equality in such devastating ways. Stories like this remind us of the importance of not just learning history but listening to those who’ve lived through it or have deep insights into it. We really appreciate you taking the time to share this with us.
Have you been to Battambang or planning a visit? Let us know your favorite experience or what you’re most excited about in the comments!
I will be there for a month in December. I hope I survive. lol.

What I'm about to say is going to be very harsh and sharp contrast from what you have seen. It's like a curtain which you can't see through. There are people behind that curtain are some of those Cambodian peasants who are waiting for their opportunity. Khmer Rouge gave them that opportunity. As the result, they killed almost a half of Cambodian population. Those victims are their own people. It was just the name of communism. They want to be equal. That's right. They wanted everyone to be down to their level. That was exactly what they did under the leadership of those who didn't know how to read or write their own language. They didn't have any education. They told us that their school was the rice field. That tells it all.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and shedding light on this side of Cambodia’s history. It’s clear that there are so many layers to what happened during the Khmer Rouge era, and hearing different perspectives like yours helps us better understand the complexity behind it all.
It’s heartbreaking to think about the impact this had on the Cambodian people and how those in power exploited the promise of equality in such devastating ways. Stories like this remind us of the importance of not just learning history but listening to those who’ve lived through it or have deep insights into it.
We really appreciate you taking the time to share this with us.
