It's funny how men get criticised for looking for women in these countries and yet western women that purposely go to places like Jamaica and Africa for sex tours are never mentioned at all, another thing those that accuse others are normally out of the same two-faced pod, good video Ed.
I went to zimbabwe few years back and was suprised to find mostly uk white nurses picking up local guys who looked down and outs, one of them used to have unprotected sex all the time , and they were qualified nurses, bit of an eye opener :)
@@Foxtrottangoabc I've met guys that worked in different parts of Africa and seen all that, but I just don't like the stigma attached to guys that visit thailand, I've lived with my thai g/f and her son in London for over 10 years now, Oh and I've also seen western women bar-finning bar girls in thailand.
@@Mickman007 yeh , a lot of judgement goes on . A lot of people do not understand how the world works when there is no benefit system to take care of you. I know a really great girl who went to Cuba through her job and married a younger Cuban guy , you could discuss that was down to different wealth incomes etc between the two, but again thats just being judgemental, if they are both happy , good luck to the both of them . As long as everyone is respectful and law abiding to each other then i reckon anyone can date who they like :)
Not just Jamaica or Africa. Female travellers (especially in 20's and 30's) travel SEA partying, plenty of cock and openly brag about it. Easiest thing in the world is to point and laugh, especially by those jealous or ...lacking... individuals.
I always enjoy your videos Ed, they are a good way for people to look around ,and gather info ,before they decide to go . I enjoyed Phnom Penh a few years back , mainly 104 , Rose bar was a fave then . Still need to get to Siem Reap . Enjoy your travels mate , the ladies are a bonus .
Ed, I, love your videos and I watch all the guys from Thailand and the Phils. You get to the point, you show me what I like to see , the street scenes, the food, the places to go,the ladies when you can. It is great for this, a little past middle age guy..lol. And you are upfront about what you like. After all "you are not really a bad guy" This American is reliving my Thai vacations through you..lol.Keep up the good work!
What I find refreshing is your true from the tourist perspective. Flashy filters, mega editing and drone shots are great but this is as real as can be; wouldn't want it any other way! Keep up the great work Eddie x
13K subs now!!! I am so proud of you and excited to see how far your channel has come! I am looking forward to watching you grow more! Watching the full video as always!!
Nothing wrong with being a monger Edward. If a guy enjoys his own company without the stress of living with a woman and would prefer to just pay for play then more power to him. Its when these mongers start poking jibes at others who are in committed relationships. That's when they make themselves look pathetic!
The only thing wrong with being a "monger" is the jealously from the bluenose types, who would LOVE to be doing what we're doing if they weren't held down by their archaic moral notions.
Hey Ed, appreciate the honesty about vloging at night...totally understandable and thanks for the explanation, totally makes sense . As far as "anyone" trying to "label" you, are you kidding me? Just do you, I'm sure 99% of those who watch just want to enjoy the vid's. Can't wait for your vlogs in Seim Rep. Thanks again for all the effort and another great vid, just be you! Cheers and happy travels.
Thanks for these downloads. I spent three months in Cambodia three years ago waiting for a new passport with very little money. I learned a lot about Cambodia and Riverside in Phnom Penh overall had a great time.
Another great video from you. I am a fan! Spending more than + 20 years around South East Asia, every word makes sense. And you inspire me to go and check out Cambodia. Thailand is becomming expensive and way to many visitors... Love your videoes. Keep it up, burley Ed ; )
Just read through the comments, I’m pretty well educated and traveled too. Some comments come from people I know I wouldn’t get along with, so many speak poorly about someone or something they know very little of. Often I find they are simply expressing cliché ideas they borrow , again attempting to articulate something they know very little of. I enjoy listening to you communicate to all what you have discovered first hand and share with us Thank you Btw Female company is great , it always costs no matter how you slice it.
Another great video Edward! Good music good information and good video. Don’t listen to the negative bs out there. You do a great job! When I watch I always get good solid information and a good laugh here and there. Cheers!
There is a saying: if you want someone to do you a favor, don't make it a pain in the ass for them. Being clean and shaved is appreciated by the ladies and they may go the extra mile for ya. Another awesome and honest video from our esteemed Mr. Sweeney.
Recent subscriber here, Ed. Thanks for the videos. I love Cambodia a lot and travel there every year, so I enjoy watching your videos. BTW, 1:21 The Rosewood hotel and it's skybar to the left. I stayed there for one night on my last visit. Pricey, but one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in and my room overlooked the Central Market. Cheers!
Eddy, I love how you say it true always! You are an honest man and I like your vids and you are improving the quality, you go bro! I have no idea why young people want to judge us older cool as hell, smart, charming from meeting a beautiful woman on the same terms as them. Kidding, we are not meeting on the same terms, we actually are respectful and have money, they hate it! I guess they can't handle the competition!
A clean shave is a must for most Asian girls in my experience. Having said that they do get a bit fussy sometimes, which always makes me laugh. Some of the girls in Thailand, particularly Hua Hin I've found want to serve you drinks all night, but when its time to go they say no because they think your drunk. Talk about a double edged sword!
You're right about the night filming in the red light zone. Stay away from that. You don't need that. Your channel is entertaining enough with all the things you're capturing. Since you're a good narrator you could as well describe what's going on in the bars at night. Keep up the good work. Waiting for Siem Reap ... Cheers
Great video as always. Cambodia is on my list of places to visit due to your videos. You could have told the lady that if you have to shave, she has to shave. Fair is fair. Keep them coming.
And while I am here.. this is for everyone! There is a quote by Henry David Thoreau "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation". Here is another version "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and die with their song still inside them”. I like the latter and always felt it was true. But now that I have been to Thailand and experienced the freedom to ... and ... (you know what), well - I am one person that will not die feeling any quiet desperation! I will have "the song in my heart".
Hi, Shawn. I went to Battambang some years ago and wasn't too keen on it. Looked very run down. Maybe it's changed. Must admit, though, the boat journey from Siem Reap to Battambang is very scenic, well worth doing.
@@STEADY599 Cheers, Edward. Was in Battambang once years ago on a school study trip. Liked the laid back vibe & French architecture. Either way, enjoying your videos and definitely looking forward to you venturing further afield than just your normal video haunts like BKK, Siem Reap, Pattaya, etc. in the future :-)
People are so critical. Enjoy your life and travels, you are the richer for it. keep the videos coming, content always good and the production is always spot on , many thanks.
I'm having a little bit trouble with your English accent , however never missing any of your words with " ladies and girls " in almost of your videos . It gave me funny laughs whenever seeing them .. You're doing a very good job to be making our Asia great again !. I don't forget to thank you very much for that ... Keep going !, Goodluck to you !, to your this very interesting and thrilling channel ... !.
Hi and thanks for the video very honest. Having been to Cambodia once or twice and love the night scene you said you stayed in the capital for two weeks so besides the nightlife what do you do though the day? I always seem to get bored if I stay more than a few days so any tips? Thanks Ian P.s ten years ago I popped into the walkabout bar now sadly closed and I have to say that was without doubt the best bar I have ever been to!!! Thanks again Ian
Edward another good video showing us travellers where too go great advice mate thinking of going Cambodia 2021 and Phnom Penh seems a decent place too start thanks again mate👌
@eddie..a shout out to say your videos are very good! BTW, was there any heavy transition weather-wise, tropics vs UK, mosquitoes, ect? Any fear of local airborne germs?
Hey Ed, forget about the message, i am digging the beat...worth the price of admission :) Thanks for sharing your experiences as always. Always appreciated.
Edward, enjoy your blogs. youre the first ive subscribed to. hope to meet you some day. im 5 years from returning to SEA. good by USA, you can have it. America has lost its way
Hi Ed, really love your videos keep them coming mate. If you're taking requests (LOL), what about going to Laos and doing a video on that ? I think you'd do the place justice. I went to Vientiane for a few days but didn't have the time to go to Luang Prabang. From what I saw, I liked the country. They are strict about foreigners "fraternizing" with locals so celibacy will be the key.
At least your open and honest about what you do Ed. not like some who pretend they're there for the temples. You give good info, and you've seriously made me think about going to Cambodia (especially the Angkor Wat videos) Keep up the good work mate.
Hi Ed, are you still travelling ?….if so how have you found the medical certificate intubation, as of Jan 2022….was thinking of going to DaNang, ….love your openness about the ladies..and about the everyday happenings,i fancy looking up all the historical aspects of the Vietnam war…but enjoyed your take also about the cafes like dmz..so thanks for the wide topical subjects..(hotels etc) ..great story about the shaving…lighthearted…loved it.
Hi Ed, another nice video. I particularly like the background music. Has a catchy beat to it. I guess I fit into the Monger category as well. I laugh at the people who categorize us as that. I did the noble thing after divorce, raised 2 kids on my own. Now that they are older and on their own it's my turn. I will be in Thailand this coming November for 4-5 weeks. Mongering it will be. If you're in the area in Nov, I'll gladly treat you to dinner and drinks.
I too am a Monger and proud of it....👍. I work hard in the UK for 9 months a year then go to S E Asia for 3 months to enjoy my mongering activities , there's nothing to compare it to and I will keep on doing it until my health stops me....... Cheers ED you make some great vlogs....👍
Wowwwwww!! Glad to hear someone that lives the same lifestyle as me. I work seasonal jobs at resorts here in the states as a HVAC Tech. I usually work 4-5 months then take a trip for about 5 months
I enjoy the laid-back style of your videos. I am a new subscriber. As for shaving? Well yes, I would agree with the lady that it is a bit nicer to be clean shaven... for her sake! And as for "monger"... well it sounds like its meant to be detrimental to us. But speaking for myself, I take good care of the ladies and they take good care of their families in return. So the system works and benefits all, including the economy of the countries you are in. So all I can see is good all round.
Well, from my own personal experience, a clean, neat and trimmed, beard or goatee, has never, ever been an issue for any Thai lady I have been with (bar, go-go, freelance, and even good girls). I have never had one say to me shave your beard or you ain't "hitting it" However, some may be thinking it. Don't get me wrong, clean, showered, smell good, and all around personal hygiene is essential. I agree with other posts here. If you stink, no pink... Just pray the pink don't stink! Another great vid Ed!! Keep them coming!
Shower, shave and smell good is the way to go. The girls appreciate it and it will make you more popular. It will also get you a little extra effort on their part to make sure you enjoy your evening. Women, working or not, like a clean, nice smelling guy.
One of the Reasons I can Travel 6 Months of the year is because I chose a single Mans Life. Each to their own,I know which I prefer. Great Video as usual Eddie.Thank You!
Monger? No. way. Its living without social handcuffs, and social pressures to enjoy life's simple pleasures before we all die. So keep on getting on. Cheers.
Corn Bread. Go live in your own world, not to bother the rest of us with you morality, and value systems. Stop trying to push your values and moral systems upon someone else to make you feel good. We live just fine without people like you. We live as God intended us to live, and to use our "members" in an appropriate fashion, as God created and intended. And if I could find a hot body Girl as the one I saw in the video then I am with Edward and against you. I must remember to bring more cash, when I go.
The God that made all of us. Does he have a name? I gave up trying to please people like you years ago, as I have realized that I do not have to please you, but only me. My conscience is clear and I have clean hands. I enjoy living my life now with the realization that there is no "sin". I deal with people honestly and do not rip them off like so many others. I open doors for everyone, and I live better without your social constraints. So cheers to your obvious hatred for others and the obvious hatred for yourself. May it encapsulate you into your world, and bind you. One day you will wake up old and realize that everything that you were brought up to believe is all a scheme to hold you down into being some peon who does and did nothing.- but maybe a good worker. One day you might just see the light of day. One day, but not today Corn- not today.
Hi Ed,love your videos thanks for your postings I find your information on travel very interesting and I plan on doing some traveling myself to that part of the world and really appreciate a quality video with sincere info, and the ladies part of the info while not a necessity it's a definite plus and the quality bars as well again Bravo so glad I found you.
Great video! Don’t worry about being called a monger, the people that call you that are probably just jealous haha..besides why would they watch your videos in the first place? Keep doing what you’re doing..I might run into you one of these days, I’m going on a year long travel tour at the end of this month..including Thailand, Cambodia, the Philippines, Vietnam to name a few, Take care Mate.
Some may refer to "Monger" as an epithet of sorts ... but the fact is, it's just a definition of a person who does what we all do. Don't let it bother you, brother. Besides ... if you got haters, then you are doing something RIGHT! CHEERS mate! Keep up the good work!
Ha, monger! I've been called worse in my younger days... like "male slut." Most of the guys I hung out with were the same way (young sailors found in any port in the Western Pacific are all the same). I just thought of myself as a party animal back then but I guess I could have easily been called a party monger! I've since been tamed (long ago), but still enjoy the affordability of SE Asia... so much so that I retired to the Philippines. Just do what makes you feel happy!
Nothing wrong with being a Monger! I am one too abit half your age ;-). Love watching your videos and the honestly and no drama bs. Your channel has grown so fast.
Ed.. love your videos mate, big thumbs up!!! and even more so because your an honest bloke and thats rare on YOU TUBE...Seen your video on Bali and yes its a shit destination..Cambodia looks like its worth another try..been twice some years ago now..Keep on vlogging and I will keep on watching..well done mate, your a man of integrity and respect..peace..and good luck..
you have a new Sub Edward... just do what makes you happy mate... forget the haters... i will be watching your vlogs from now on!... cheers .. John from Australia
Edward, I love all of your videos. And it is not only the subject matter that I like, but how you talk about it. I would love to get a white t-shirt with your face on it saying some of the many "Sweeney-isms". For example, it could be your face and, "With the LOVELY LAHDIES!" written below it. The permutations are endless. I'd buy them all!
Great video Mr. Sweeney! More power to you, keep doing what you do. The Riverside is great it has it all. Maybe your bar fine wants a Steady-Eddie (she giving orders already, lol). I enjoy your style, daytime is fine. The music in this video was terrific. You got to admit Eddie you look more presentable with shave, just saying lol.
I’m a new subscriber and enjoy your videos , you will always get negative comments and to be fair RUclips is full of some strange people lol anyway all the best 👍
Good on ye Ed. Supporting the reds for over 40 years. Got a great chance this season. Notice the pound to the bhat not doing well. I remember the days of 73 bhat to the pound
Good video ed.im going to phonm penh next month out of interest whats the crack if you get sick from something are there many english speaking doctors and or dentists?
andy Jackson My friend lives in Cambodia for many years. For most issues he deals with an English speaking doctor named Dr Scott. For more serious issues- he had pancreatitis-he was transferred out to Bangkok. Get travel insurance including transfer.
Two simple questions if you don't mind. Which is best...Cambodia or Vietnam And in those countries which are the best places to go for, say, two weeks (my other weeks being spent in Pattaya). Thanks.
Ed, please do a review of the hotel you choose to stay in when you arrive in pattaya. I'm having trouble choosing a hotel. Thanks for the videos. Keep them coming.
Hi Ed, I'm from Dublin and always enjoy your videos. I'm also a middle age gay man and I know that you are totally straight and love the ladies, but I will be going to Phnom Penh in Feb, just a few weeks away. I was wondering if you would consider just going around the Cambodian gay bars and do a short video on that scene too... There's quite a few videos out there but they're all from the queeny gay perspective. Just thought I'd ask and keep up the good work, my friend. Happy Travels, Jimmy
Thanks mate.. I seen that club on the internet and I hear that POC (Pride of Cambodia) is the most happening gay bar, also the Toolbox. So I'm sure we will enjoy ourselves. We have 8 days in PP and 9 days in Sihnoukville Otres 2 beach... Then probably spend a little bit of time in Vietnam and Laos before our 3 day stopover in Beijing. We usually go to Thailand every February for the month but feel like a change this year... Looking forward to your next video. Happy Travels!!
good on ya.... people who criticise you are hypocrites or frustrated or jealous...lifes short enjoy..you're not hurting anyone.....I like Phnom Penh....the French influence, the great riverside cafes and the bars .... . .. .....Walkabout....,Zepplin and my fave, Sharkeys Bar were closed last time I was there....a real shame......there is a great public swimming pool with a gym and small eatery in the city....cheap,no crowds....great place to hang daytime.....
Good vid Cambodia is awesome ,I totally understand where your comming from regarding videoing in the bars its a no go really and without it, its hard to explain the banter between yourself and the ladies and the whole experience ,I miss that scene alot everytime i go back the good bars have gone when i was visting 4 times a year it was like you never left same people same places now every 2 years its like a new world everytime long story short visit and enjoy before it loses its charm and is overtaken by chinese interests like Sihanoukville keep mongering
Hay mate. Is that sharky bar still in Phnom Penh ? Thay used to check in the guns at front desk in the late 90s. I saw a guy pull out a gun and aim it at someone one night
You are great, Ed, and so are your travel videos which I enjoy. Who doesn't want lovely asian girls? Don't pay attention to losers who are driven by jealousy.
7.48 Oscar's bar, great live music and beer. Also, women there too if you fancy it. Gets full of older tourists as well, like me mid 40's, so an ideal place for a chat, a sing and a coldie!
Neils 24 hour mart on 136 and the river. met Neil in 2012, brilliant guy put tables and let a street food cart operate there. now the best and cheapest place to hang out and drink. now he has wood fired pizza...proud of you Neil!!!
It’s a pity about sihanoukville, as I’m sure you would’ve loved to chill at the beach/sea. I always liked the look of the place and would’ve loved to go, but not too sure now 😩
Ed just a quick correction. Your for mine (and I suspect for a majority of your subscribers) your channel is about GIRLS, the travel is a bonus, something for us to do when the Viagra runs out... So thank you for being so good at bringing us what we want...
I get a similar response from some of the girls with my full white beard , but there a plenty that like the beard so all is well , seems Cambodia has changed quite a lot since my last visit , or you make the place look better than it is , either way thank you for your effort , I will return
No problem mate, these girls are of age and your doing nothing wrong. Without the money people bring into the country they would have very little. Keep a smile and push on!

Nothing wrong with being a monger Edward. If a guy enjoys his own company without the stress of living with a woman and would prefer to just pay for play then more power to him. Its when these mongers start poking jibes at others who are in committed relationships. That's when they make themselves look pathetic!
Well said, mate. It works both ways. Loving your vids.

Edward, enjoy your blogs. youre the first ive subscribed to. hope to meet you some day. im 5 years from returning to SEA. good by USA, you can have it. America has lost its way
Hi Ed, really love your videos keep them coming mate.
If you're taking requests (LOL), what about going to Laos and doing a video on that ? I think you'd do the place justice.
I went to Vientiane for a few days but didn't have the time to go to Luang Prabang. From what I saw, I liked the country. They are strict about foreigners "fraternizing" with locals so celibacy will be the key.
@@masterspacetime2826 LOL .... 👍👍👍
At least your open and honest about what you do Ed. not like some who pretend they're there for the temples.
You give good info, and you've seriously made me think about going to Cambodia (especially the Angkor Wat videos)
Keep up the good work mate.
Thanks, John.
My God....are there temples? 😂
Eleven : Eleven
So I've been told 👍😂
Temples are great and I spend a large portion of my time sightseeing. It's good to take care of the spirit, but the body has its needs, as well. :)
I go to Thailand for the temples. I always firmly place each one of my thumbs on a girls temples when she's servicing me.
You😊 are Great and Real and your videos have a huge interest as they deepen in a big variety of topics!!!
Thanks
Hi Ed, are you still travelling ?….if so how have you found the medical certificate intubation, as of Jan 2022….was thinking of going to DaNang, ….love your openness about the ladies..and about the everyday happenings,i fancy looking up all the historical aspects of the Vietnam war…but enjoyed your take also about the cafes like dmz..so thanks for the wide topical subjects..(hotels etc) ..great story about the shaving…lighthearted…loved it.
Hi Ed, another nice video. I particularly like the background music. Has a catchy beat to it. I guess I fit into the Monger category as well. I laugh at the people who categorize us as that. I did the noble thing after divorce, raised 2 kids on my own. Now that they are older and on their own it's my turn. I will be in Thailand this coming November for 4-5 weeks. Mongering it will be. If you're in the area in Nov, I'll gladly treat you to dinner and drinks.
I too am a Monger and proud of it....👍. I work hard in the UK for 9 months a year then go to S E Asia for 3 months to enjoy my mongering activities , there's nothing to compare it to and I will keep on doing it until my health stops me.......
Cheers ED you make some great vlogs....👍
Thanks, mate. You lifestyle is similar to mine!
Wowwwwww!! Glad to hear someone that lives the same lifestyle as me. I work seasonal jobs at resorts here in the states as a HVAC Tech. I usually work 4-5 months then take a trip for about 5 months
I love all your videos, keep them coming. Thanks Edward. 😎
Thanks, Ray.
I enjoy the laid-back style of your videos. I am a new subscriber. As for shaving? Well yes, I would agree with the lady that it is a bit nicer to be clean shaven... for her sake! And as for "monger"... well it sounds like its meant to be detrimental to us. But speaking for myself, I take good care of the ladies and they take good care of their families in return. So the system works and benefits all, including the economy of the countries you are in. So all I can see is good all round.
Good for you, Wesley. Nice comments.
Well, from my own personal experience, a clean, neat and trimmed, beard or goatee, has never, ever been an issue for any Thai lady I have been with (bar, go-go, freelance, and even good girls). I have never had one say to me shave your beard or you ain't "hitting it" However, some may be thinking it. Don't get me wrong, clean, showered, smell good, and all around personal hygiene is essential. I agree with other posts here. If you stink, no pink... Just pray the pink don't stink! Another great vid Ed!! Keep them coming!
Thanks, Calvin, some very good comments.
Shower, shave and smell good is the way to go. The girls appreciate it and it will make you more popular. It will also get you a little extra effort on their part to make sure you enjoy your evening. Women, working or not, like a clean, nice smelling guy.
One of the Reasons I can Travel 6 Months of the year is because I chose a single Mans Life. Each to their own,I know which I prefer. Great Video as usual Eddie.Thank You!
Another great vlog Ed 5 weeks today and counting down 😃 for my visit your vlogs put me in the mood
5 weeks will come around soon enough, Peter. Have a great time, mate.
Monger? No. way. Its living without social handcuffs, and social pressures to enjoy life's simple pleasures before we all die. So keep on getting on. Cheers.
Corn Bread. Go live in your own world, not to bother the rest of us with you morality, and value systems. Stop trying to push your values and moral systems upon someone else to make you feel good. We live just fine without people like you. We live as God intended us to live, and to use our "members" in an appropriate fashion, as God created and intended. And if I could find a hot body Girl as the one I saw in the video then I am with Edward and against you. I must remember to bring more cash, when I go.
The God that made all of us. Does he have a name? I gave up trying to please people like you years ago, as I have realized that I do not have to please you, but only me. My conscience is clear and I have clean hands. I enjoy living my life now with the realization that there is no "sin". I deal with people honestly and do not rip them off like so many others. I open doors for everyone, and I live better without your social constraints. So cheers to your obvious hatred for others and the obvious hatred for yourself. May it encapsulate you into your world, and bind you. One day you will wake up old and realize that everything that you were brought up to believe is all a scheme to hold you down into being some peon who does and did nothing.- but maybe a good worker. One day you might just see the light of day. One day, but not today Corn- not today.
Well said!
Hi Ed,love your videos thanks for your postings I find your information on travel very interesting and I plan on doing some traveling myself to that part of the world and really appreciate a quality video with sincere info, and the ladies part of the info while not a necessity it's a definite plus and the quality bars as well again Bravo so glad I found you.
Keep it up Mate I think you've got it bang on you answer all my questions looking forward to coming back in December for six weeks
great video dont worry about what other say its your life no ones forced them to watch ive just subscribed keep upi the good work
Thanks, mate.
Great video! Don’t worry about being called a monger, the people that call you that are probably just jealous haha..besides why would they watch your videos in the first place? Keep doing what you’re doing..I might run into you one of these days, I’m going on a year long travel tour at the end of this month..including Thailand, Cambodia, the Philippines, Vietnam to name a few, Take care Mate.
Sounds like you've got a great trip planned, Rod. Good luck to you.
Some may refer to "Monger" as an epithet of sorts ... but the fact is, it's just a definition of a person who does what we all do. Don't let it bother you, brother. Besides ... if you got haters, then you are doing something RIGHT!
CHEERS mate!
Keep up the good work!
Well done, I do enjoy the fact you do show you face in your videos, very informative travel vids.. cheers!!
Cheers, Peter.
Ha, monger! I've been called worse in my younger days... like "male slut." Most of the guys I hung out with were the same way (young sailors found in any port in the Western Pacific are all the same). I just thought of myself as a party animal back then but I guess I could have easily been called a party monger! I've since been tamed (long ago), but still enjoy the affordability of SE Asia... so much so that I retired to the Philippines. Just do what makes you feel happy!
One of the things that would help is give the time of year video was taken. Great information keep them coming.
Hi, Anav. This video was last January, a good time to visit Cambodia.
Your a funny guy this channel is going to grow quick .... good luck to you mate
Thanks, Mark. Appreciate that.
Nothing wrong with being a Monger! I am one too abit half your age ;-). Love watching your videos and the honestly and no drama bs. Your channel has grown so fast.
Hi, Brent, always great to hear from you.
Ed.. love your videos mate, big thumbs up!!! and even more so because your an honest bloke and thats rare on YOU TUBE...Seen your video on Bali and yes its a shit destination..Cambodia looks like its worth another try..been twice some years ago now..Keep on vlogging and I will keep on watching..well done mate, your a man of integrity and respect..peace..and good luck..
Thanks, mate, appreciate your comments.
you have a new Sub Edward... just do what makes you happy mate... forget the haters... i will be watching your vlogs from now on!... cheers .. John from Australia
Thanks, John. Thanks for your comments.
Hey Ed. I like your videos and your upbeat personality. I happen to be a beaten down cynic. Like they say in Japan “Laugh cry, Same life “.
Thanks, mate.
I do enjoy your travels, you
Say it for real, that's why I
Watch, feel I can trust
What you said.👍
GreenArmy, thank for you nice comments.
Honestly its because of you and other RUclips traveling mongers vids who make me wanna explore the world, going to India this year in mid June
I completely understand the standpoint on filming the bars, have you ever been shooting in Phnom penh?
Edward, I love all of your videos. And it is not only the subject matter that I like, but how you talk about it. I would love to get a white t-shirt with your face on it saying some of the many "Sweeney-isms". For example, it could be your face and, "With the LOVELY LAHDIES!" written below it. The permutations are endless. I'd buy them all!
Hi, David. My face and 'lovely ladies'? Don't seem quite right, but thanks for your suggestions. Nice to hear from you.
@@STEADY599 I just love how you say it. Very memorable and very catchy! Don't go changing!
Hi Edward. We're going to Phnom Penh at the end of Feb and have enjoyed watching your videos. Happy travelling!
Another good informative vid Ed, keep it up mate!! ;)
Great video Mr. Sweeney! More power to you, keep doing what you do. The Riverside is great it has it all. Maybe your bar fine wants a Steady-Eddie (she giving orders already, lol). I enjoy your style, daytime is fine. The music in this video was terrific. You got to admit Eddie you look more presentable with shave, just saying lol.
Hi, David. Nice comments, and I will clean up my presentation sooner or later!
I’m a new subscriber and enjoy your videos , you will always get negative comments and to be fair RUclips is full of some strange people lol anyway all the best 👍
Thanks, Watford Fc. It's the good comments that make me smile. The bad ones often make me laugh!
Good on ye Ed. Supporting the reds for over 40 years. Got a great chance this season.
Notice the pound to the bhat not doing well. I remember the days of 73 bhat to the pound
I remember the 73 baht to a pound days, also. Will they ever return? Who knows? Thanks for your comments.
Congratulations on reaching 12,000 subscribers.
Thanks, David.
"Calm down, calm down" Harry Enfield. Great accent, don't lose it.
Good video ed.im going to phonm penh next month out of interest whats the crack if you get sick from something are there many english speaking doctors and or dentists?
Hi, Andy, I've never been ill out hear, but I have heard the doctors are quite useful. Of course, always have travel insurance.
andy Jackson
My friend lives in Cambodia for many years. For most issues he deals with an English speaking doctor named Dr Scott. For more serious issues- he had pancreatitis-he was transferred out to Bangkok.
Get travel insurance including transfer.
born free ah ok thanks for that
Two simple questions if you don't mind.
Which is best...Cambodia or Vietnam
And in those countries which are the best places to go for, say, two weeks (my other weeks being spent in Pattaya).
Thanks.
Hi, Eleven. In two weeks I'd say Cambodia is best. Vietnam could take a bit longer coz it has more to see.
hi Ed
as a subscriber im happy and proud to be part of your fantastic channel
i enjoy the same things as you if that means im a monger then thats fine by me ;)
cheers
I like your channel. Real advice from a real explorer of these parts.
Love your vid's you talk honestly and straight to the piont. Keep it up Ed.
Cheers mate
Keep up the good work, I enjoy seeing where you visit and your opinions
Thanks, mate.
Ed, please do a review of the hotel you choose to stay in when you arrive in pattaya. I'm having trouble choosing a hotel. Thanks for the videos. Keep them coming.
Hi, Greg. I did a hotel review in November (Mid range hotel in Soi Honey) and it is on my video list. I'll do more hotel reviews in the future.
Hi Ed,
I'm from Dublin and always enjoy your videos.
I'm also a middle age gay man and I know that you are totally straight and love the ladies, but I will be going to Phnom Penh in Feb, just a few weeks away.
I was wondering if you would consider just going around the Cambodian gay bars and do a short video on that scene too... There's quite a few videos out there but they're all from the queeny gay perspective.
Just thought I'd ask and keep up the good work, my friend.
Happy Travels,
Jimmy
Hi, Jimmy. All I know is the well known Heart of Darkness on 51 street is now a gay club.
Thanks mate.. I seen that club on the internet and I hear that POC (Pride of Cambodia) is the most happening gay bar, also the Toolbox. So I'm sure we will enjoy ourselves. We have 8 days in PP and 9 days in Sihnoukville Otres 2 beach... Then probably spend a little bit of time in Vietnam and Laos before our 3 day stopover in Beijing. We usually go to Thailand every February for the month but feel like a change this year... Looking forward to your next video.
Happy Travels!!
good on ya.... people who criticise you are hypocrites or frustrated or jealous...lifes short enjoy..you're not hurting anyone.....I like Phnom Penh....the French influence, the great riverside cafes and the bars .... . .. .....Walkabout....,Zepplin and my fave, Sharkeys Bar were closed last time I was there....a real shame......there is a great public swimming pool with a gym and small eatery in the city....cheap,no crowds....great place to hang daytime.....
Thanks, mate.
As always Nice film Ed really enjoyed and look forward to the next one - Cheers
Hi, Jim. Nice to hear from you. I must do one of those live streams sometime. Looks like you're enjoying them.
Good vid Cambodia is awesome ,I totally understand where your comming from regarding videoing in the bars its a no go really and without it, its hard to explain the banter between yourself and the ladies and the whole experience ,I miss that scene alot everytime i go back the good bars have gone when i was visting 4 times a year it was like you never left same people same places now every 2 years its like a new world everytime long story short visit and enjoy before it loses its charm and is overtaken by chinese interests like Sihanoukville keep mongering
Thanks, mate.
Great video , love the food bit's you put in to make it more than just girls.
Good to see you keeping the British end up all over asia
Hay mate. Is that sharky bar still in Phnom Penh ? Thay used to check in the guns at front desk in the late 90s. I saw a guy pull out a gun and aim it at someone one night
Loving your videos. Will be going here April 2020 after F1 Vietnam so trying to get to know the best places for the girls 😉👏👍
Going to be in Cambodia this August. Can't wait! Thanks so much Ed!
Great video. Classy, informative, friendly and respectful. Plus you look and sound like Rick Stein...
Thanks, mate.
You are great, Ed, and so are your travel videos which I enjoy. Who doesn't want lovely asian girls? Don't pay attention to losers who are driven by jealousy.
Cheers, mate
Congrats you have over 12,000 Subs now!
Thanks, mate.
Okay 30 % monger and 70 % globetrotter then , satisfied ? 😆😆
Sounds about right!
I enjoy your vids, Ed. You are living the life 👌
Cheers, mate.
7.48 Oscar's bar, great live music and beer. Also, women there too if you fancy it. Gets full of older tourists as well, like me mid 40's, so an ideal place for a chat, a sing and a coldie!
Hi, gingerjoe. Yes, Oscar's is a great bar, one of the best in that street.
Neils 24 hour mart on 136 and the river. met Neil in 2012, brilliant guy put tables and let a street food cart operate there. now the best and cheapest place to hang out and drink. now he has wood fired pizza...proud of you Neil!!!
Hey Ed, did you make her shave too? :)
More videos please! You are doing great work. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Mike.
It’s a pity about sihanoukville, as I’m sure you would’ve loved to chill at the beach/sea. I always liked the look of the place and would’ve loved to go, but not too sure now 😩
Hi, Kiefer. Yes, whatever is happening in Sihanoukville, I'm giving a miss for this journey. Those islands are still fantastic, though.
Edward Sweeney I’ll hopefully give them a go some year! 🙏🏻
Looking forward to arrive in this lovely city on tuesday. Did not know that they now have a strict no filming policy in the bars... good info, anyways
I love you videos good job i want to travel soon to cambodia
Ed just a quick correction. Your for mine (and I suspect for a majority of your subscribers) your channel is about GIRLS, the travel is a bonus, something for us to do when the Viagra runs out... So thank you for being so good at bringing us what we want...
Ed, You make addictive videos. Your mature attitude towards criticism is refreshing. Would you consider retiring to Pnom Penh?
Hi, David. I must admit I'm loving Siem Reap these days!
@@STEADY599 why or what makes Siam reap better than pp
Ladies food hotels etc...
I get a similar response from some of the girls with my full white beard , but there a plenty that like the beard so all is well , seems Cambodia has changed quite a lot since my last visit , or you make the place look better than it is , either way thank you for your effort , I will return
Can't live your life for other people.keep living your best life.another great video.
Thanks, Jow.
No problem mate, these girls are of age and your doing nothing wrong. Without the money people bring into the country they would have very little. Keep a smile and push on!
No shave , no honey. No honey, no money!
watermelon seedless Ha!
