It's so wonderful that you can travel with your dad. Some of my favourite travel experiences were made even better by having my parents with me. I recently lost both of my parents, so cherish the experience ❤
I just took a trip to Vietnam with my daughter for 3 weeks and enjoyed every minute of it. The memory will last a life time. I hope you had a great time with your dad.
I remember that border crossing. The attendant for the bus we were on took everyone's passports and that was a new experience for us as our first reaction was we may never see them again. Of course, everything turned out fine, but it was simply part of the expediting service they performed. Giving up one's passport in a strange land where you don't speak the language was tough though!
Dear Alina , Thank you very much for your nice and fàntastic video . Happy New Year , 2023 , My Dear Alina ! I hope that the new year bring enormous peace , prosperity , happiness , good health and good luck to you and your Octogenarian Dad ! With lots of lots of lots of love 💕💕💕 and regards , Jayantàda , 2/1/2023
I watched this video with great pleasure. Your dad is always so nice and sweet and I am very happy that he has the opportunity to visit these wonderful places with you. Thank you very much Alina for this great video! I wish you and family a fantastic 2023🎄❤🌲🎀
You guys found such a lovely place to stay and no AirBnB has looked better and you’re happy about the change of pace. Travel does change our outlook on life and your channel truly is a window on the world. Happy New Year and best wishes for 2023! 😊
As always Alina, Your Videos are top-notch and very informative. It's bucket list for Harriet and I . We had planned a couple of years ago to visit Cambodia but couldn't go because of covid. We have other trips we have booked for now. Having dad with you on these trips has brought a new dynamic to your videos. Great Info and a Great Musical score. We want to take this time and say that it's been a pleasure being a Patreon and getting to know you so well. Have a Happy, Healthy and Safe New Year!🍸🍸🍸 Thank you for the postcards. Be Well my Friends ! P.S. The Livestream was fantastic. 🙏❤🙏 Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.
Happy New Year Alina and Dad..Thanks for all the amazing vids you've shared with us this year so looking forward to Cambodia 🇰🇭 Safe travels lovely lady 😘
Really loved this video Alina! I know it was a tiring day for you guys so thank you so much for sharing yours and your Dad's experience on your land journey into Cambodia! Also your room is very nice! Take care and enjoy your stay there.
Hi Alina! I'm echoing other comments here and repeating what I've said before, but it is truly wonderful to see you and your dad Gord road-tripping together in SE Asia (or Saskatchewan or Alberta)!!! ❤ Looking forward to your explorations of Phnom Penh and Cambodia! Happy New Year Alina and Gord!!!
Hello Alina, all my best wishes to You for Your health and travels for 2023. And peace for the world to allow travel experiences. Looks like the honk is the most important part of a bus in Cambodia. If it is broken, the bus cannot continue to drive 🙂 Best regards, Ralf
We love Cambodia! Especially Siem Reap ❤️ we have been twice and will definitely go again. The people are just so lovely. We helped our tuk tuk driver through covid so we definitely want to go back to see him. Your Dad is soooo lovely, what a great travel companion 😍 I really enjoy your videos Alina 🙏😁
So cool to see you and your dad travelling together through SE Asia! I can tell he's having the time of his life. I went to Cambodia with my parents when I was 17 and loved it. Phnom Penh was a cool city, the Killing Fields genocide memorial was the 3rd most emotionally traumatic site I've visited after Auschwitz and Treblinka and the Angkor temples may be touristy but they're definitely a site you'll be amazed by.
@@AlinaMcleod Yep...Dad had to go to a medical convention in Singapore so we all went to Cambodia, Malaysia and SIngapore on holiday. Cambodia and Singapore were incredible. Malaysia didn't impress me quite as much.
Cambodia is an amazing place. Just a word about crossing the border - it is very important to have a full six months left on your passport (not 5 months and 3 weeks, as we learned from experience). We were crossing on our own, and I'm guessing that since you went with a company your experience was much less stressful. I look forward to seeing the rest of your videos from there.
Have a safe trip to my beautiful Cambodia 🇰🇭 beautiful weather down there even in Toronto Canada today plus 12 degrees but going to be rainy all day thanks for sharing your video Alina take care bye from milton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
We have a tragic recent past but Cambodia so quickly rebuilding and redeveloping and we want you to know that you’ll always be welcome in Cambodia ❤ the country isn’t in the best shape rn but we’re working on it and we hope to make a more pleasant experience for all tourists 😊 also a new expressway to the Vietnamese border is being built rn so travel between the two countries will be much easier after it’s completed
Hello, Alina. I wish you a happy new year. Welcome to Cambodia! What is your New Year's plan? My friend is working in Cambodia. You are in no man's land, and I am in no woman's zone. I hope you enjoy your journey in Cambodia. I hope your dad likes it too.
If you want an objective second opinion you can ask Alina's Dad. As about the snakeskin fruit. Thanks for the video Alina. I wish you and your Dad peaceful hours towards the end of the year.
I took the Giant Ibis bus as well; they actually had Cambodian SIM cards available at their Saigon office. That certainly made the phone thing easier. One note - although I've heard different accounts, the only way I could make the Grab app payments work was to uninstall and re-install the app and enter my bank card information again.
Very good advice to give about downloading the offline apps. Downloading the language on Google Translate is a good idea but not all languages are available. Nice video, thanks for the info. I'm thinking about going from Cambodia to Saigon but will be doing it on my motorbike.
Well, a very interesting video. Thanks for the info about crossing a land border, as I've never done it anywhere, but in Europe. That was after individual European countries borders had controls lifted so not the same thing at all. I'm not going to count the US/Canada border as that's a different creature. You never did tell us how the ice cream tasted, when and if it thawed. Looking forward to the further Adventures of Alina and Dad in Asia in 2023.
Awesome video. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for always pointing out important tips to us as you travel. I also like watching the sites and enjoy the music immensely. Thank you for all your hard work and knowledge. It shows that you really care. Keep the videos coming I can hardly wait for the next one. Travel mercies for you and your father.
Well, do you named it Snake Fruit? I named it Salak (in Indonesian). Anyway, Merry Christmas to you both and hope a very Happy New Year too. Greetings from Surabaya 🌲🥂
Hello. My first one coming up next week. I can here on EVISA that I ordered online. Im here now, DO I HAVE to get another Evisa online before I get on this bus? Thanks. 🙂
Hey alina McLeod nice viaje en bus nice ciudad , gente, mercado, temperatura, cielos azules, almuerzo , cuarto hotel , y vos te miras bonita! en el triciclo
You havent visited Southeast Asia, if you havent visited Malaysia especially and Singapore too. The only two multi-cultural countries in Southeast Asia.
Dear Sis I am from India...nice vlogs with your father... and if we want to travel Cambodia only Krong Bavet from morning and return to same day with Cambodia visa (single entry VOA) is it possible and we will return to Vietnam same day in evening or night and subscribed ur channel
I believe you are happy and proud to be able to travel a round the world, get to know the culture of other nations, but why be happy if your heart/Alina is still alone and lonely, for whom? Do you have a soul mate that is still missing? I hope you are treated with my presence here💘💝💖greeting from indonesia
Hey Alina. Your video is always funny 👍 Thank you for the footage report despite the poor sound quality on the bus. Cambodia seems a bit weird to me, maybe because of the writing. BTW How can you guys understand the signs written in this language? You look tired at the end of the video. Rest up and keep entertaining us with your video report. And ... HAPPY NEW YEAR! (in Phnom Penh?)
@@karibakidohh ok. is it true that after government of thailand banned drugs n canabis, there were lot of tourist come to riverside pp and sihanokville (spill over), due to uses drugs n canabis ?

DEAR ALINA.
ONE OF THE GOOD THINGS IS THAT YOUR VOICE IS VERY CRISP AND EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE.
TAKE CARE.
Right on! Good info + tidbits to know when bussing through a border. Nice little AirBnB you guys found yourselves as well!

Love to see your dad with you. It must be what, 20 below in Saskatchewan? Have a super time, guys. Ron from Abbotsford.
That’s considered a fairly mild winter, yes
I crossed from Bavet into VN for the first time in 2000. The entire frontier area was only pretty much a field and a few buildings back then.
I was inspire to explore Cambodia and Vietnam tour. So now I am at Cambodia and will go to ho chi minh by bus. 2:41

😊Hai Alina 🌹, have nice day end'happy new year 2023 🙏👍👍
Did it several times by plane, personally I don’t like loosing my time in such cumbersome bus rides. Online visa both directions.
Watching it. Great video.👍
I hope you have a Happy New Year. Thanks
Thank you and you too!
I cant believe you skipped all the stunning scenery from the land border to where you enter the outskirts of PP... ;-) All courtesy of Pol Pot btw.
Dad is so cool and cute!!
What camera did you use ?
DJI Pocket 2
prior to Covid the bus fare was 12Usd on Mekong bus lines
Great video. I need to go back.
How long is the bus journey ? Did you get the Cambodia visa in advance ? What was the process and cost ?
Being near your dad's age , I'm interested in what travelers medical insurance he is using? ie: Blue Cross?
Yup he bought Blue Cross. Ridiculously expensive though.
In about 3 and a half hours you can go to the Moc Bai border, did you consider that?
Hello ❤👋🇨🇦nices video
Wonderful 😍👍
Hi! How long was the trip in total? We were also planning to travel from vietnam to cambodia by bus ☺️ thank you!
Hello. My first one coming up next week. I can here on EVISA that I ordered online. Im here now, DO I HAVE to get another Evisa online before I get on this bus? Thanks. 🙂
Happy New year 2023 🎉beautiful women 💕🇺🇦🇬🇧🎉
can you apply your Cambodia visas at the Giant Ibis Station?
Is there a toilet on the bus, or does the bus make bathroom stops instead?
Alina, im watching here from Calgary. Aline you look like brooke shields
I’m a local RUclipsr in Cambodia I hope we can meet you here
Good info girlie. Heading to VN in a couple of weeks and this will help.

Nope, no one asked for vaccine proof.
