You're living the life! Also, what software do you use to edit your videos if you don't mind me asking?
Don't stand on a corner with any gold chains around your neck, have camera in hand outside tuk tuk. Thieves on a motorcycle will grab it. They got my tiny neck chain!
Prices for cafe food look very high now!
“Atleast the dogs are all napping..”

Damn, nearly 😂👍🏻
👍
Prices have gone up $1-$1.50 for food and Rickshaw since l was in Cambodia in 2023.
Seems a bit overpriced compared to Japan
Hi Gabriel, those narrow streets in most cities indicate the first area built in that city. You then notice that the more modern parts of the city are built wider and larger, indicating that they are much more modern. It's definitely a fascinating city with a lot to offer and a lot of nightlife.
Just came home after a 3 months travels, which included a month in Cambodia. I would also recommend going to Kampot and Siem Reap. Cheers Gabriel
Remember, the White Rabbit loves you ✌️
It is a cool place, though down near the river prices are 2 or 3 times some of the other areas.
Really liking Cambodia 😊 ❤ thank you Gabriel!
Taxi's from the airport are more money
24th 😂
Nice video, enjoyed the outro at sunset with the music. Very atmospheric.
Wow❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great music too😂
😁👍
Love the alleyways, pretty cool
Happy hours 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. 🤨😆
Yeah the nightlife is great until your neighbor decides to open a 7 nights a week house pub next door open til 4 am every night blasting music. And this happens in any neighborhood wether in the city center or 10kms from. And every apartment you move to this happens again and again and again .
And if you complain an altercation develops and a machete will come out. Speaking from experience.
"Phnom penh is under construction….a beer garden i guess" yeah i literally left the country because a beer garden built next door drove me out with the noise. I see the disease has continued to grow. And that construction has been going for decades.
That Elia restaurant has another location in Siem Reap. Met the dude that owns it. Pretty cool guy. Very good food
You paying 10 quid, are you stupid, don't be Mansa Musa
Khmer New Year is next week. Siem Reap will have amazing activities…
Where can we get those tiny 13 year olds…if you know what I mean, Cambodia has a ton of them winkwink
Honestly, I am flabbergasted that it has taken you so long to discover Phnom Penh.
It's a pity because you're too late in terms of experiencing Phnom Penh. When it was at its best, the fantastic bars, and travellers hangouts, that are no longer there
And Shanoukville, Cambodia's once best kept secret, has also completely changed.
I have mentioned that it is important to see new places and this is prime example of what happens when you just stick to the same old safe places and don't do anything new. You miss out on great places and you spend too much time repeating the same old places like a tourist does.
Da Lat is the most underrated city in South East Asia in my experience, but Phnom Pehn is also underrated as well 😊
ME ENCANTA EL MOJITO , I AM AT THIS MOMENT DRINKING A MOJITO AT "" CAFE PIQUE HOUSTON TEXAS USA THE BEST ❤, SALUDOS ❤❤
