Cambodia Bridge Building and Rice Wine With Locals (Siem Reap)

Today I take a trip with my friend Sokkea to his village to help repair their new road between the village and West Baray. Cambodian hospitality soon results in a drunk Jack and a camera falling in curry. If you'd like to see the more rural side of Cambodian life and learn about Khmer culture this is the place to be.

'Sok sabai' is like 'how do u do'

[@jackhatesthecold]

That is a good simple way to explain , I forget that some viewers are from US or not Britain and might be confused about my ,”alright” explanation 🙏🙏🙏

[@yorraksa8841]

'Om' for both genders if they're older than your parent.
'Minh' if she's younger than your mother.
'Poo' for if he's younger than your father.

Oum is gender-neutral. Only use if you think Aunty is older than your mom. Ming is used for someone who is younger than your parents.

[@jackhatesthecold]

Oh I see , that's very helpful, thank you 🙏

Lao Khao

[@Nang-dv6gy]

No in Cambodia not call lao khao

[@jackhatesthecold]

Did I get the name correct? Sometimes it is difficult to be sure I have the right information 😅

[@jackhatesthecold]

Is this the name of the dish somewhere else?
