Great detailed video Phoebe! I was in Cambodia in Feb 17 and this brings back alot of memories especially the baby milk scam! Always in absolute agreement about elephants! I remember my temple pants at Angkor Wat, they split up the crotch within 10 minutes but I managed to get by! Alot of people tell me they have to pay bribes at the Thai border, but I just paid as part of the bus ticket from Thailand, no drama! Love Cambodia!
I had a girl approach me about the food scam and it seemed like such a reasonable request I almost said yes hahaha idiot! bahahahhah I would have died laughing if I'd seen your pants split haha :D
hi I'm Cambodian and I'm gonna try to add some tips that might help : 1. streets vendors may seem tempting if you're a tourist because it's cheap, it's delicious, and it's authentic - BUT - there's always a but - it's not usually sanitary. For example, those tiny oysters that are dried in the sun are not that safe because it's not fully cooked and dust is always everywhere in Cambodia. You can still eat aunthentic food at places like Khmer Surin. :) 2. instead of giving homeless children money, give them food like a cookie. this is because we don't know if the money is used for a good purpose or not. 3. if you're worried about your belongings but u can't strap ur bag to ur body, u can place the bag in the front of your body. It's safer that way. 4. BEWARE DARK ALLEYS. We don't know what's there, and we are not planning to. ok I hope these tips have helped anyone planning to go to Cambodia but I'm not an expert cuz I'm just a kid ;-; ALSO : Try the amok, the durian purée and sticky rice, the stir fried spicy chicken with basil leaves, and smoked fish with shredded unripe mango mixed with fish sauce, chili, onion, and green tomatoes. ok I have a test tmr I should stop
Fantastic tips!! Thank you so much for watching our video and taking the time to share so much good insight. Haha yes, you better get back to studying 🙌🏻 GOOD LUCK for your test tomorrow 😀😍✨
Hey you forgot one more thing beware of your surrounding cause there might be thieves on the road trying to snatch your purse and necklace ... And one more thing DONT EVER GO NEAR A CHINESE MAN OR WOMEN EVER!!
These are great tips! Having traveled in Cambodia for a month and half, I endorse your tips. However, I will say this about the kids who work the tourists, I remember travelling in oodong and I had no money left to give to the boys who accompanied me up a mountain. And the boys responded kindly saying, "its okay, but next time bring books". It warmed my heart. These kids truly do want to learn, specifically English as they think it will be a stepping stone for their futures. Also be careful in Angkor which is the country's national treasure. Same rules apply for any conservation site. Touching the carvings, taking of stones, smoking around (yes I saw a woman smoking on the steps of the temple which was very insulting to the people around)...just try to protect the natural history of the place.

Hey thank you so much for your kind comments of Cambodia. As a Cambodian I really do appreciate how you would spend time to tell other people about my country💗
Hello...I from Cambodia 🇰🇭 so I’m really excited that you mentioned about my country to show people around the world to know about Cambodia ❤️ i hope you will enjoy when you visit Cambodia ❤️
I'm Cambodian and I recommend going to Siem Reap instead of Phnom Penh, if you like ancient things and temples, if you like malls and modern things, Phnom Penh is there for you.
Hello !! 😀🙌🏻 Thanks so much for watching. We put out a new travel video each Friday ✨ Subscribe and join our travel fun family - we’re off to Canada this week ✈️😍 Phoebe & Matt x
Tance Dj. Siam Reap, Will get you thrown in jail quick smart, if you try to buy drugs in that town. They want it to be a family friendly tourist place. There are lots of places in Asia for cheap drugs. Do yourself a favor, and don't go to Asia, for a drug holiday. You will get so stuffed up, YOU WILL DIE HERE! I kidd you not! Asia, is not a good place, for people with addiction problems, you will get to a certain piont, then no one will help you. That makes the place a death trap if you can't control yourself. I've seen it happen.
Cambodia is not the rich country, that's true but we use this slogan "poor economic,that's OK, but not poor heart". That is why Khmer people like smiling and friendly.Most foreigner love Cambodia. If you come, we will welcome you anytime anywhere.
It’s so true - Cambodian people are so beautiful and kind, from the inside out. They’re so welcoming and lovely! The people are on of the main reasons I love Cambodia so much. For all they’ve endured, they’re so happy and kind
I just went to Siem Reap this January. All her advice is spot on! The people there are so very nice. The food is to die for! You must go! I'm going again!
Great and detailed video! I’d like to add one more tip here, to cross the road, you can simply cross it by raising your hand 🤚 up and walk slowly... you can then pass the road successfully. I’m Cambodian, btw!

Thank you for sharing this tips and ideas to people. I personally believe this is very important for tourists to be aware of these before coming to my country. Love you
@@travelforphoebe thanks for loving our country. If you wanna visit I can be your tour guide even though I'm just 13 but it's OK. I love it here. Lmao just kidding. But it feels nice that u like it. 🙂
Oh my gosh, that's so sweet of you!! I hope you're studying hard in school! Hopefully we get to come and visit Cambodia again VERY soon! I miss all the good food! - Phoebe
Awesome video with so many great tips and well presented! We toured Vietnam, Laos, Thailand in 2016 and are considering Cambodia in the future so this video is very helpful :)
Thank you Mark! If you loved Vietnam, Laos and Thailand you guys will adore Cambodia. The people are so lovely, the culture and history are amazing and the food is delicious 😀
Those countries are younger than Cambodia 🇰🇭.Thai has been made from 13rd century. But Khmer is millions years old. You should visit the most ancient country in Indochina. That is Cambodia. The Khmer empire’s soul.
I'm Cambodian born in Canada, Montréal, Québec. Never been to my country ever since I stepped foot on this earth 35 years ago...its one of my life duties to go at least once. Thank you for the extra tips on travelling there!
Oh wow!’ Have an amazing time!! We’re doing a live video from Japan this Friday 25th January 8pm AEST! We’ll be trying food, talking about our Japan trip and answering questions. Hope you can join us 😍🙌🏻 Phoebe x
Explore With Sophie I’m planning to visit Cambodia as well as a solo travel in October. Found this video very helpful! I’ll may see you around 😊 have a safe travel!!!
@@IlariaMuller hi. I am also planning to travel to Cambodia in dec , Jan. It is going to be my first ever travel alone. And is it really safe for girls to travel alone to Cambodia and Vietnam ??
Priyanka Shah Hi 👋🏼 I hope you’re safe at home at the moment 🙏🏼 I ended up travelling between Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia last September/October 2019 so can’t say anything about Cambodia and Vietnam. It was before the covid19 and it was 100% safe for solo female travel like me. Not sure about how travelling around the world in general can be nowadays with this pandemic going on. Even after it will be over, travelling the world is not going to be the same. I can say this while in Australia, faraway from my home country.. still travelling solo but can’t wait to go back home!
@@IlariaMuller yes its going to be quiet different because of this pandemic and I will only plan for the trip ,after this pandemic is over completely. It's pretty difficult if you get stuck in a foreign country ,when all these things are going on and specially if you have a complete lockdown . Stay safe and healthy.
Hi Pheobe! Thank you very much for sharing this video. I find it very helpful and informative even though I'm a Cambodian myself currently living in Melbourne, yet I'm so glad you made this video so that everyone else can know more about the country and at the same time stay safe and enjoy the unique culture that my country offers. Keep up your great work!
Hello! Wow - thank you so much for the lovely comment and for watching our video. I hope you're loving living in Melbourne. It's a beautiful city! If I didn't love living in Brisbane I could quite happily live in Melbourne :) Thanks again for the kindness - Phoebe x
Hey, just got introduced to your channel while searching Cambodia as visiting there next month after Malaysia. I couldn't resist to hit the like and subscribe button right during the watch. Such a great way of presentation with so much information in a quite shorter time. Hats Off!
I've lived in country for more than six years. While I agree with some of what you say, certainly all isn't correct. 1. A torn or ripped USD note can be exchanged at the nearest bank to you. 2. I won't say counterfeit notes are not common. But, in all my six years here, I have never encountered a single bad note. 3. You can also rent a motorcycle for about $7.00 USD per 24 hours. Then, you have the freedom to come and go wherever you are, without having to deal with tuk-tuks or motodops. However, if you choose to go this route, make sure you keep the motorbike secure. 4. You have choices for visas, upon entry. If you wish to stay less than a month, to up to two months, a tourist visa is fine. If you wish to stay longer, please do your research prior to departing your respective country. 5. A lot of places may have a proper toilet with a "bum gun", a hand held bidet, of a sorts. It works - VERY well. 6. English language skills of Khmers aren't nearly as wide as you state they are. The vast majority of Khmers have a lot of trouble with English. There is also a HUGE difference between English speaking and English comprehension, as well. So, keep that in mind. 7. In addition to sun glasses and possibly a dust mask, you should probably have a good hat to cover you from the Sun. 8. We have an apartment in the city (Battambang), and a farm in the province. We have very reliable internet at both locations. 12 Megabits at the apartment; 6 Megabits at the farm.
Wow!!! So many good tips in here. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch the video and share so much detailed insight - hopefully people read the comments and get to see all of these 🙌🏻😀
Great video, by the way. I've also lived in Oz, in the past. I was there when the miners got trapped in Tas.Take care, and I look forward to more of your videos in the future.
About #3, I should add that if you are a woman, it's better to ride Tuk Tuk. Bag Snatcher's main target is woman on motorbike (even worse if you're riding alone). Also the traffic in Phnom Penh is crazy so if you're just visiting for a short period, don't bother with riding a motorcycle yourself.
As a Cambodian myself, I highly recommend sieam reap rather than Phnom Penh because the capital city literally has nothing interesting to see whatsoever (besides royal palace or tuol sleng genocide museum, you have to pay tho :/ ) . Or you could possibly visit Sihanoukvelle. It was beautiful and relaxing. Sometimes things they sell at the market are extremely pricey for foreigners, so make sure to consider carefully before buying it. And be very cautious of the thief
I am blessed that you took your time to present a very detail video. Wish I would have stumble upon your video prior to my first trip to my parents homeland. Even though it was a trip that started out with sadness and sorrow but it end up ending with a positive vibe. The impact that Cambodia put upon me was priceless. It felt my dad left this gift for me and I’m so happy to experience it. Thank you so much🙏
hahaha thank you!! And thanks so much for watching our video!! Have a great day. 😀☀️ We put out a new travel-themed video each Friday - hope you can subscribe & join our travel family! 😍 Phoebe & Matt x
I'm Cambodian and I don't live there so I did learn a few things from the video and im not trying to be mean or rude but it was really funny when you tried to speak khmer. If you do go to Cambodia I strongly suggest you don't go out at night at least not by yourself just stay where there are a lot of people around. Going out at night by yourself is really dangerous
The explanation of Cambodia on this video is pretty good to make me feel toward the country. i have been there over the past 3 month and by seeing this that i feel i wanna get back immediately.
I am Cambodian but you do know my country more than i do. I enjoy your video that's really detailed.. Gotta subscribe without hesitation. oh! and Thank you for the Video about Cambodia.
Hello! Thank you so much for watching and for the lovely comment. Our new video is out tonight and it's about a Safari we just did in South Africa - hope you can watch it. Have a great day and thanks again. Phoebe x
I recommend to ride Passapp rather than Tuk Tuk because we have to bargain for a decent price, while Passapp has a fix price about 1300riel per kilometer.

Hello! I am from Cambodia, and I live in Phnom Penh. Thank you for making this film to let the rest of the world know about Cambodia. I hope you will visit us again sometime. I'll see you next time.
Oh my gosh! You are going to LOVE it! Have the most amazing time. If you need more info, we have a few written guides on the website too: littlegreybox.net/category/asia/cambodia/ - Phoebe x
Oh wow - thank you so much, it really means a lot. We LOVE Cambodia so much. Have a great weekend! Our new video comes out tonight - it's all about two amazing days we spent in Cape Town. Hope you can watch it :) Phoebe x
Moving around in major cities like Phnom Penh, Siemreap or Sihanoukville? In Cambodia nowadays, one can easily book a ride hailing ride either in cars, or tuk tuk or motorcycle format... Plenty of ride hailing from well known GRAB (who removed UBER via an equity swap deal from SEAsian markets in March 2018) to local operators like PassApp, Exonet, U-Go, etc...
Thank you for making this video! My mom went there for 1 year and a half, she’s a cop and she went there on mission for the Khmer Rouge. I went there for 2 weeks and it was amazing!
I could be wrong here but I don't think this rule is for religious reasons but for conservation. My understanding is that, with over 2 million visitors to Angkor Wat each year, the authorities are concerned that touching and rubbing the temple's walls and statues could lead to many features simply being worn away. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Today I first time watch you channel in my life and all the information provided by you here about amazingly wonderful country of wards are highly informative and certainly your tricks will help us a lot to make yourself free from any kinds of entangled scams.

Sooo true! I've only been to Cambodia and one thing stands out the most is how the nice the people are! Very polite and friendly, really Cambodia! Can't say much for Vietnam...so rude and hostile!
Cambodia people are absolutely beautiful, they're so kind and welcoming :) I have to disagree with you about Vietnam, we've visited three times and the locals have consistently been warm, kind and welcoming! I love visiting both countries :D Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. Have a great day x

PrettyGlam Official yes my mom said mostly the population has to follow the MEAN president of the Cambodia. So that’s why they cheat you so much for that money.
