Geez, I want to go to Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam so bad! But the hubby is not so enthusiastic. I would love to visit Kaavan at the Cambodia Wildlife Sanctuary. I sponsored one of the posts for his enclosure. He's a big, beautiful Asian Elephant that was rescued. One day I will go. Thanks for the video, Petrena ❤
I left the country back in 1979 after I had to live through the genocide under Pol Pot killing madness. Most of my family members did not survive as we were forced to move out of the Phnom Penh City in 1975 to work in the rice fields. I was just in my senior year of my high school then. I've returned to visit my sole surviving sister every year for the last ten years since my retirement from Minnesota , US to heal the past. It's very safe to visit Cambodia now as the country has come a long way since the prolonged civil war was officially ended upruptly in 1998. Be mindful of your surroundings . Be kind whenever possible. It's always possible as life is short to do the things we don't love doing. Sharing is caring. Happy and safe travels from a genocide survivor ✌️
Hi Petrena 😊 ! Both Cambodia 🇰🇭 & Vietnam 🇻🇳 are on my must see list. Love the rats 🐀 uncovering the landmines & carvings & Temples. It looks awesome 👌. Happy St.Patricks Day ☘️ 🍻
Hi David!🙋🏼♀️ Cambodia is amazing!!! I have absolutely loved it!❤️ It's been such an incredible adventure, and I am recommend it.✨️💖🙌 Thanks for watching. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you too!🍀🥳🥂
I did the visa run from Thailand in early 2019. Still here. Nicest people. Super laid back . A day trip to Beng Melea ( jungle covered city) and Koh Ker pyramid.
Siem Reap is a gem of a city ! -- Big enough but not too big for having everything you need. People are awesome welcoming the friendliest on the planet and most speak English. They even accept the USD ! -- Cost of living is very low both rent and food are real bargains. Appears to be a retirement hotspot for some 20,000 expats from many countries. 50 cent beer can even be had. --?--
@@PetrenaSchell You betcha -- -- it's also been reported - that some 250,000 US expats have moved to Cambodia this past decade ! Combined digital nomads -&- retired 'old farts' - like myself. -?- Check out the "retirement visa" for over 55 expats !!! (( amazing )) 🤔 Seriously considering Siem Reap myself (?) as opposed to remaining in 'Biden's America' !!! --?-- 🤗 Nearly 70% lower cost of living than the US 'average' ??? = About the equivalent to increasing ones income 3 times !?!?!
I want to say how i appreciate you so much for visiting Cambodia. We are always overlooked and ignored, the genocide caused us to fall behind other southeast asian countries in development but we are getting there and improving alot. Thank you again for the kind words for our wonderful country. Cambodia welcomes you! Hope you enjoy your stay and the many dishes we have to offer. Wish you the happiest, fun, safe, and blessed travels! You and your friend are awesome! ☺️
@@PetrenaSchell Definitely someday I will explore Cambodia. To be honest I Love Thailand. I visited amazing Thailand so many times. I already watched all of your Thailand series. Will you go back to Thailand again? 😊
The new low-cost carrier is based at Cambodia's Phnom Penh International Airport (PNH), and from there, it will initially service the regional cities of Siem Reap and Sihanoukville. The airline is starting life with two Airbus A320s, the aircraft of choice for the AirAsia Group, with tickets going on sale this week on the website and AirAsia MOVE app (previously known as the airasia Superapp). AirAsia Cambodia: The starting schedule shows eight daily flights covering the city pairs of Phnom Penh - Siem Reap and Siem Reap - Sihanoukville with two daily return flights. Airbus A320 flights from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap-Angkor International (SAI) depart at 07:40 and 15:50, with the returns leaving SAI at 12:35 and 20:35.
Very informative video. Thanks for sharing. I left Cambodia when I was 3 years old and never had a chance to go back yet. Hopefully, I can make a trip after my retirement in a few years.
I'm currently planning my trip to Cambodia for November! Waited 15 years to go there and I'm trying to learn the language a bit as well. I do have one question for you (and maybe khmer people).. Is it ok to wear tops and shorts for tourists? Because I've read that you should always cover your shoulders and knees when in Cambodia, but I see in most videos they're wearing tops or short dresses. Do the Khmer people look at you differently when wearing tops or not? 🙈 I just really want to do it right for the people there ☺️
Oh my gosh, I am SO excited for you!!💖 And also, it's just so beautiful that you want to respect the culture when you visit.🥰 I can't speak for the people here, I can only say when you visit temples, out of respect, you cover your shoulders and knees. Any other place, shorts, or tank tops are okay. Cambodia is so amazing, and people are so beautiful. You will love it. I am very excited for you!❤️
Thank you for sharing, you said 1975 was not long time ago but everything you see that my time , I still remember every second that I was been gone through😂❤😢
@@PetrenaSchell Careful going to India solo, it's not like Southeast Asia for solo female travelers. It's fine if you go with a guy. For men it's completely safe.
Thank you:) I knew it was on the map, I just forgot it was so close to Bangkok. As I have never been to Asia before this trip. When I looked at the map, I remembered how close it was.
I would live in SR if I should move to SE Asia because of Cambodia VISA program for expats… no VISA run … great airport so I can visit any country in Asia …
There is nothing to be hurt about. This is my first time to Asia, everything is new for me. If you watched the video, you see how much I love Cambodia.
Good that you covered your shoulders with a shawl when visiting the temples. Your friend was inappropriately dressed with her mid riff exposed. No one probably said anything as they are too polite but the Park authorities do display signs and leaflets at most tourist hotels. I visited the Vatican once and they refused entry to my wife because her shoulders and armpits were exposed. We went back to our car and got a light jacket and then it was fine. What many tourists do not understand is that Angkor Wat and all the other temples are not tourist attractions. They are first and foremost Buddhist temples and are actively used for religious ceremonies. Just like in Bali and many other places if you are allowed to visit you should show respect and wear appropriate clothing. It's just common courtesy.

Hello Cambodia 🇰🇭
I think you could to check out Cambodian Street food
All day tuk tuk should only be $20-25 but it’s ok. You’re helping the economy
Did you get a chance to see the Phare Circus?
No, I didn't.🥺
Next time for sure, eh.@@PetrenaSchell
Cambodia is the best place in Asia. No hassles with visas.

The land mines were put there by US forces, who were illegally there, and some from French who occupied before the Vietnam War.
Vietnam visa is so hard and silly compared to Cambodia....i semd a girl to school in siem reap
I am so hurt to learned that Cambodia is not even exist for you.
There is nothing to be hurt about. This is my first time to Asia, everything is new for me. If you watched the video, you see how much I love Cambodia.

Avoid to walk alone in late night, and carefull scam in massgae place (some).
