Informative video as always, Eddie. Thanks for making the time and effort in putting it together in your usual relaxed style. Kampot seems like a nice town with all the amenities, and well worth a visit.
Fascinating. Thanks for covering Kampot, Eddie. I have just added it to my shortlist for future travel, as I have only ever been to Phnom Penh in Cambodia before. That live music bar with the striking artwork looked like an absolute classic. Cheers.
Great to have you in town. Many expats from Vung Tau here now due to visas being better in Cambodia. All happy with move. Good to talk to you the other night.
I agree with you. I think it's a place more for the elder sexpat that has done all the nightlife scene and is happy with a slower pace of life. I would still be having it large though at least a few times per week.
Sounds amazing. Can you tell me about Hopitals, Doctors, etc if a sudden emergency occurs? Unexpected heart attack or road collision, for example? I don't expect a reply but it would be nice to know there is a chance of survival.
@@gwaponobby one main hospital here and several smaller clinic style hospitals. If any emergency there are no ambulance services and must make your own way there, and either produce your medical insurance certificate or big cash up front to cover your emergency
@@paulsalvin Thanks for your reply.I would need to do a tour of the main hospital before I decided to stay longer than even one week. Without even seeing the hospital I fear it would be no where near up to standard if any serious life threatening incident were to occur.
@@gwaponobby when you go somewhere to eat, be sure to inspect the cutlery, check out the kitchen, and make sure the toilets are clean. One can't be too careful.
Hello Steady Eddie. Love your video. I been to Kampot before. It's known for growing peppercorns there. I was there in 2016 with my uncle. We went to the KTV on our first visit. It was fun
Great video Ed.....nearly pissed myself with your council estate analogy of the local talent! Keep the content coming please.....really great stuff. Cheers Nick
Glad that you are enjoying Kampot, Ed 👍👍 The town seems to be changing fast. Never remember it to be that busy. Best probably to get there soon before it gets too over crowded, Cheers ! 🍺🍺
Great video looks a nice place, wish you could try some local food though. Am off to Thailand in 3 weeks and will be only eating local food Happy new year
A bit like the wild wild west in S W America with the dust and the saloon / bars to wet one's whistle. -?- Likely a fun place after dark ! Attractive to some expats no doubt. Maybe others not so much if medical specialists are needed. --- At least worth a visit and the nearby mountains worth a look as well. > Thanks for the quick tour.
Hi Eddy, Happy New Year! Thanks for the Kampot walk about. I'll be visiting there next month. No firm plans for number of days. What would you recommend? Have you had a shave yet? You missed the sign at the hair salon next to Big C advertising SHAVE at 5:45 on the video 🤣
Love the travels eddy. In sisaket now for another 3 weeks before week in patts and Bangkok.. will visit Cambodia 🇰🇭 after watch your videos also congratulations 🎉 on 45 thousand subscribers
The influx from Sihanoukville changed Kampot. Thankfully the Chinese have not yet moved in on it, but it may just be a matter of time, make the most of it while it is still relaxed and quirky.
Casinos in every cool town until it's just one continuous gambling den connected by high speed Chine built and Chinese owned rail . All one day to speed tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers around Cambodia , Laos , and Thailand . Vietnam , I hope you can hold fast . At least you're the Last kid in the neighborhood they want to mess with .
Hi Eddie, you are my go to ifo' channel.👍 How would I get to Kampot from the UK, where's the nearest international airport to Kampot ? How would I find a decent room for a month's holiday ?(March) I hope you can help. I usually go to Thailand or Vietnam, I'm in my 70's now and Kampot looks right up my street 😉 Love your style of presentations keep on posting 👍💖
@@STEADY599 thanks for that Eddie. I looked on the internet for cheap hotels, in Kampot, they all mention their distance from the 'Durian roundabout' .is that roundabout area a good starting point to access the streets with the bars / restaurants.? All the best Peter.
Good video. I'm retired & have been checking out Vietnam & Thailand, but the visa limitations forces me to find a 3rd option & Cambodia is right smack in-between. Like the visa policy! Have been checking out Siem Reap, but I really liked this video & think I could fit right in there. Will check out your videos & others about this area. 👍🇰🇭
Gday eddie, if you like sth east asia put Kampot on the bucket list, very special place, not in your face, got a french architecture feel about it. good for backpackers too, some great lively places to stay on the river, like ed said plenty of bars and restaurants. One of my favourite spots, get a bicycle to get around town. go to the green boat bar and say gday to the owner Tim. great spot will be back again, cheers eddie. PS get there before the chinese take over the place like they have in snookyville
If I were retired and on a leisurely tour around that area of Asia, I think I might enjoy a few months in Kampot purely on what I've seen in this video. Cheers Ed. Be lucky.
Hello Eddie. Great video mate.. your 20st missus is looking fine 🤣 A well documented video.. great informative content. Wheres your next destination going to be? Looking forward to watching your next adventure. All the best mate 👍
eddie i love ya brotha, been watching a bunch of your video's and have decided to retire in the thai/cambodia area. getting used to all the female attention would be my biggest obstacle, geuss it would be a great problem to have. best of luck, health and happy new years.
Was in Kampot early Nov( for 8n).Your hotel is not in the best location.😊.Enjoyed my stay.But i will not hurry back.Good informative vid.Tart with a heart.😁😁😁
Congratulations on the 45k mate! Think you only had a couple of thousand when I first found you. Will be in Kampot myself in a month, looking forward to following in your footsteps!
Thanks Eddie, pal of mine is there right now called Dougie from Edinburgh , he’s told me to watch your video to give us an idea of what it’s like. Any chance you can do another video so we can hear the sounds and ambient of the day and night life ? Great commentary, easy to listen to and nicely shot. Subscribed to your channel. Cheers
I wish i had a pound for every time you've said Sihanoukville gone down the Swanny river but then again most of us have seen better days and are on the slippery slide down the Swanny river.Cheers
I have been there 2019 and believe it or not there was only one girly bar it was just really starting to get off the ground I am hoping to get back this year 2023 I really enjoyed my time now and that's a cracking video you've done Eddie
I was there in Nov 2017 and it has obviously changed a lot for the better. From there I went across the border and got a bus to Can Tao in Vietnam which was a fantastic city.... try it Eddie !!! BTW beware of using local pharmacy... two girls around 20 died in my hostel from issues.
Yes, an easy border crossing from Kampot / Kep to HaTien in Vietnam, then bus to Can Tao, Chao Doc or Ho Chi Ming. Also, ferry to Phu Quoc, for some Vietnam beach life 👍
@@tanthaman apparently they took paracetamol for bad stomachs and both died in their sleep. It made international news so you may find better detail online. Just found this : " A 22-year-old Brit backpacker and her Canadian companion were found dead in a Cambodian hostel after buying an unknown over the counter medication. Natalie Seymour and her travelling pal were taken ill with severe sickness and diarrhoea after arriving at the Monkey Republic hostel in Kampot province"
Okay Eddie can you please tell me what the hotel room prices are, and if they have all the proper security. Just interested it looks like a great place, oh yeah and how far is it from the capital. Cheers 🍻 mate
There’s a very long street market across the river, very good and authentic. Can recommend a cruise along the river and a trip to Boker Mountain with amazing views. Some great pepper farms out in the surrounding countryside, well worth seeing imo too. I loved Kampot, very relaxing place and friendly people! If your into food there’s a few excellent gourmet restaurants run by international chefs that are world class!
Looks like a nice little town, looks more cleaner than Phnom Penh and the small buildings reminds me of Mexico. Is there any Boom Boom available there? Do they also have service flats with the pool like in Phnom Penh? Cheers mate.
Hi Eddie, what exactly is Dumpty Dumpty dum music? Sounds like your singing Nelly the elephant 🤣 @ 15:32...so that's where Santa goes after Christmas 🎅after a dirty ho ho ho!
Hello Eddy. I just love all your videos. I have never been to Cambodia but have booked a flight for the 12 feb. Is it possible for us to meet. You seem a very interesting and humorous person. Love to meet you. Thanks Eddy. Best regards Alf
Much better than the introduction video where you was stood next to a building site, you seem very happy there great insight. Perhaps a little quiet for me. Will you head to an island soon or back to Pattaya? And have you had a soapy yet?
I liked Kambot alot. It's super charming
Nice one Eddie-I liked the quip about the Phanny Honeymoon bar….ha ha.
A tart with a heart. One of your best yet. :)
Thank you for the awsome information.
Thanks, mate
I freaken love this video. Cambo rocks!
Thanks for the video. My first time to see your shoot of Kampot by night . It is really a cool place. I wish I were there.
Looks like fun. Thanks for sharing

thanks for a really enjoyable look at Kampot,
the word happy seemed to come up quite often
Thanks, Simon
Looks like a pleasant place. I appreciate seeing some of these less common places that I might never make it to. Thanks!
That looks like somewhere I would like to see. Thanks for sharing.
Happy New Year 2023
Happy New Year, mate
I'm the 999th like .....lol.........another great video Mr Steady
Thankyou
Thanks for the video Edward , verry nice place to visit !
My pleasure
Great to have you in town. Many expats from Vung Tau here now due to visas being better in Cambodia. All happy with move. Good to talk to you the other night.
Good to meet you, Peter
Good vid ed , seems really safe if a little quiet on nightlife side , well done 👍
I agree with you. I think it's a place more for the elder sexpat that has done all the nightlife scene and is happy with a slower pace of life.
I would still be having it large though at least a few times per week.
Eddy - That was a great video - keep up the ace work _ I really enjoy your work Cheers (UK)
Thanks mate
Happy new year 🎉 have a good one
Looks like a nice option. Will visit.
Good tour of kampot
Thanks Eddie
I liked this video the best
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I want to go there.
yes,a nice insight intoKampot,enjoyed it,thanks Eddie
Cool, thanks
Looks a wonderful chilled out place mate, very nice, best wishes for the New Year Ed.
Looks like a cool place
Cheers Ed, 👍 might check it out next time.Happy New Year 👍👍
Looks deliciously seedy at night. Like something in an 1940's downtown section of a large American city. The neon gives off this seedy glow.
Seedy is good.
Thanks for this nice "laid back" video 👌and Happy New Year to You from far away, Norway.
Cheers mate
Hope you get better my friend, ur not wrote off yet !
Great video review Eddie. Kampot has been my home for 3 years now, and always something to do here, mountains, beaches, caves, waterfalls too.
Cheers mate

Good to hear the local expats happy with the town and being positive , imagine if the expats in Pattaya had the same outlook 😂
You will help me, I will help you. Don't mess with Pattaya in Thailand is at a high level and Cambodia is just an underdeveloped country.
You rule, excellent videos as always. Thanks :-)
Cheers mate
Most of the expats are moving from Snookyville. Great tours as always, mate. Be kind, be cool, and be safe. Life is short. Happy travels!
i fancy the place ED thanks for the video
great video edd enjoyed that i had the same problem in cambodia no razors
welcome to cambodia 🎉🎉
excellence video
Love your style Edward. If you were to return I take it you would change your hotel to be closer. Any recommendations? I didn't see many in the vid.
Super Video, vielen Dank - Grüsse aus der Schweiz
Hello Steady Eddie. Love your video. I been to Kampot before. It's known for growing peppercorns there. I was there in 2016 with my uncle. We went to the KTV on our first visit. It was fun

Cheers, Nick.
can you provide some "insight" for bar prices?
a bit?
ST/LT?
Very nice video Eddie! Thank you
Great video Eddie.
Glad that you are enjoying Kampot, Ed 👍👍 The town seems to be changing fast. Never remember it to be that busy. Best probably to get there soon before it gets too over crowded, Cheers ! 🍺🍺
you should try the Khmer Bars 3 min TukTUK from there .. great bars big fun ....... great food and music
Looks nice place
Great video looks a nice place, wish you could try some local food though. Am off to Thailand in 3 weeks and will be only eating local food
Happy new year
Well done Mate...Thank You!!!
Thanks for the vid ed 😀
Nice vlog Steady E. Happy New Year. All the best. Keep the entertainment coming. Ciao from Sanremo.
A bit like the wild wild west in S W America with the dust and the saloon / bars to wet one's whistle. -?- Likely a fun place after dark ! Attractive to some expats no doubt.

Glad you liked our little town come back soon
Great to meet you, Giles
Nice to see you found La Gorda!
When you find a store with your razors, can you ask them if they sell short sleeve tee-shirts as well?
Yeah Eddie’s clearly not a dress-up kinda guy, lmao 😂
Cheeky! He’s comfortable
Awsome
Hi Eddy,
Happy New Year! Thanks for the Kampot walk about. I'll be visiting there next month. No firm plans for number of days. What would you recommend?
Have you had a shave yet? You missed the sign at the hair salon next to Big C advertising SHAVE at 5:45 on the video 🤣
Happy new year mucka.
Look a very nice place Eddie...
Does the Phnom Phen 200 USD thing has the same price there?
Love the travels eddy. In sisaket now for another 3 weeks before week in patts and Bangkok.. will visit Cambodia 🇰🇭 after watch your videos also congratulations 🎉 on 45 thousand subscribers
