Hi m8, come to Australia? My friend David Willson was murdered by the Khmer Rouge when he was kidnapped from a train along with a French and an American.
Afternoon Bald! I'd recommend getting chatGPT, Claude or another app for use with translation, you can just record what they say and it'll output it in your language. I'm sure there are better ones but that's what i've used
Thank you for visiting my country. You asked a woman for Pol Pot grave, but the App translated "I'm looking a road to Police". The woman responded "I just moved here and go to that way, they might know". When you're at the water crossing, you asked the less shirt guy about Is there any Pol Pot people here". He said "Yes, there's, but they won't let you interview them". He pointed a small hut with red brick roof across where you asked a question. That is Pol Pot place he died. You should contact Patrick who is a young American living in Phnom-Penh with his Cambodian wife to tag along. He speaks fluent Khmer language. It will be helpful for you.
I thought about moving to Cambodia but its a regime that enforces vaccination, sadly a deal breaker. Maybe any Cambodians can share their knowledge, was it possible to remain unvaccinated or did the police / state force the injections on everyone? Google says the country has one of the highest covid vaccination rates on earth.
BRUTAL: How could you survive with only beautiful polite people, nice buildings, no people touching and scamming you, no car horns at all times and no poop-ologists dumping in the streets.
As long as you show respect for the people, their country and customs, are friendly yourself you will be welcomed with open arms. Same goes for Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia. It's one of the greatest regions of the world to visit over and over
Pol Pot murdered teachers, engineers, electricians, doctors, builders and anyone with an education and sent the country back to the stone age and yet today, Cambodia and especially Phnom Penh rival any city in Asia. Got to admire the Cambodians positivity and not looking back in anger. PS. Bald is correct. Cambodia is much cleaner than India.
A certain demographic in the US who constantly whine about their past should learn from these people.. or many other cultures who have been through atrocities in the past and choose to put the past behind them and live in dignity and peace!
You obviously didn't even watch this video before commenting. Just wanted to get on the India hate band wagon hey? Did your "ears enjoy" the train trip where he couldn't even talk due to the constant horn?
@@Ash_18037 you might not believe this but that's what trains do everywhere They alert people and things like cows and animals and cars that they are coming and so no one gets hit by the train. Train deaths in Cambodia are astonishing low for their population density
I visited Cambodia a few years ago as a tourist ... It's a beautiful country with wonderful, welcoming people. Long-live, peace and prosperity to Cambodia and her people! ☮ ☮ ☮ ✌✌✌
This video just sets India in such a bad light, it's amazing. They are both countries in development, but Cambodia is clean, organized, even when you see their stuff is old, like their trains, they are still clean and well maintained. They follow traffic laws, plus, their nature is great. India needs a complete turnaround to get their shit together.
It's funny how foreigners mostly w8tes will travel to India and purposely go to the worst places to travel (old delhi, varanasi, Calcutta) which is common knowledge not only amongst Indians themselves but amongst travelers globally, just so they can make negative videos for sensation and views. When the fact of the matter is India has beautiful beaches, resorts in the south (kerela goa etc ie tourist areas) beautiful mountains and snowy areas in the north like Shimla, Risikesh in states like himachal pradesh and uttarkhand, theres ther north east which has arunachal pradesh etc. Yet despite common knowledge amongst those who travel to India these vloggers choose to avoid such places for the former just for content and to make videos such as this
I visited S-21 in Cambodia two months ago. There were two of the few survivors sitting there, sharing their stories, and you could buy their signed books. For those who are interested, the book I bought is called Survivor: The Triumph of an Ordinary Man in the Khmer Rouge Genocide. I’ve never read a biography that included so much suffering and hardship as this one.
"they appear to be extremely happy and not at all bitter about the past, unlike it has to be said in other parts of the world where there are whole groups that still collectively blame their current problems on events that happened 200 years ago" Quite well summaried actually.
The difference is in Cambodia they no longer get treated the way they got treated in the 90s,but when you come to the people who were mistreated 200yrs ago even upto now they still get treated the same way,which you as yhite person it's very hard to comprehend.
American here, I worked on a construction project in Cambodia a while back and everyone who super cool. I will say a few people opened up about the insanity of the Khmer Rouge. One guy had most of his family killed, his brother in a field, and he managed to make it to Thailand through the jungle. Guy was super cool and friendly. Said he started a new life and hes super thankful about it. Otherwise people were just so friendly, the food is great. They have like the best rice in the world...I cant explain why but its so good.
That is why you see a lot of youtubers moving to south east asia. They still make their youtube money but can live for cheap instead of just scraping by.
Cambodia is a beautiful country. I lived in Phnom Penh for 3 months. They may be poor but most people have a heart of gold. I have been to both Vietnam, Thailand and Laos, but Cambodia is for me the best of them. Even if you travel out to the smaller villages.
Man I miss Cambodia. For a country that is still recovering from an absolutely devastated generation it has such a wonderful feel. Says a lot about the people and the culture.

I'm cambodian and I have been watching your videos since you're in Belarus and finally , now you have arrived in my country. Enjoy your time in Cambodia, bald. I recommend you to explore our ancient city "Siem reap" which is the former city of our great Khmer empire during the 11 century.
The Cambodian people are really well behaved and very helpful expecting nothing in return. Meanwhile, in India you'll get mugged but before that you'll catch a disease from their water.

Now him and Backpacker Ben needed an actual vacation and not being scammed by every single person or having to step over human feces or dodging children who yank on your arm begging for money while you're sleeping on the train lmao.
I second that part about how clean Cambodia is, Honestly despite the lack of english speakers compared to Indias capital, I'd much prefer to visit Cambodia. beautiful to see!
Delhi is a very old urban city for first tourists coming to India. I would recommend Goa or Kerala in the south with its beaches or Ladakh Himachal Pradesh Himalayan mountainous regions in north
I'd like to say that those in the country side/unpopular tourism area are lacking in English but if you visit their capital city the English aren't even a problem especially the young generation they're speaking fluently English in the capital.
@@necroplastful it's a fact back in the past but not now. The newer generation (mostly city folk) prefer and use English since it's give them a better job opportunity
@@necroplastful Here's another fun fact: That's incorrect. They gained their independence from France in 1953. So maybe only 5% do,... that are over 65. Their English proficiency is trending upwards, especially amongst the youth. Cheers
Hit up Siem Reap's Ankor Wat if u haven't planned to already. I'd also recommend getting up before sunrise to view and in addition you"ll avoid the crowds & heat, Cheers
Cambodia is the only country ive been to where a group of people will invite you every time to eat and drink beer with them. The reason he pulled the beer ring for you is because you can potentially win thousands of dollars or a car and there have been fights in the past after the buyer of the beer has shared his beer and the person who opened it runs off and claims the prize 😂
The ring pull is worth nothing for big prizes without the empty can as it has a matching aligned image stamped inside and both must be presented for the prize claim. Not everyone here is aware of that rule and it creates quite a problem when greed kicks in and one or both dont want to share.
Indonesia used to be like that, Vietnam and rural Thailand are like that. Lost count how many times I've been invited back to strangers homes for a sit down family feast, jokes about marrying their daughters and home made rice based liquor
usually the big prizes (eg. cars or motorbikes) are never in just one ring (you're gonna need to collect maybe 4 rings each with a piece of the 'puzzle'); I think what's happening here is for those exchange things where u can get 1 free beer for every, say 20 rings.
i love how bald explains the history and context of the places he visits, i feel he truly admires and appreciates the time and places he visits. good job lad!
As someone who lives in Cambodia and has for quite some time, this was very interesting. Most Khmer people do not want to talk about the past, as it left so many scars on the country that still affect it to this day. Despite that, Cambodians are some of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. Even simple farmers out in the rural areas who don't speak any English whatsoever will try their best to help you in any way they can. Truly a hidden gem
I travelled there when I was young, the difference between the Cambodians and the Indians was striking. Two peoples in South Asia and yet so different in culture and respect for others.
@@IntrepidTraveler-b1b If I stay in Cambodia long term and there is another pandemic in the future and I do NOT want to get another vaccine, what do you think would happen? Would the state / police leave me alone as long as I don't go anywhere or would they come for me? What about doctors / hosiptals, during a pandemic will they refuse to treat / help UNvaccinated people, do you need a vaccine card for a hospital? Thank you.
@@Mgoblagulkablong Hey there, during the COVID-19 pandemic here in Cambodia, the government treated both local and foreigner the same way. You will receive vaccination for free, and if you happened to caught the virus, you'll then be hospitalize free of charge until you're fully recover. If you do not wish to get any vaccination, it is possible and up to your choice. But protection is always better than curing, right? We are among the first few countries to open up due to our high numbers of people being vaccinated for free and fast. And for now, COVID-19 card is not required. Hope it help!
Amazing that guy led you all that way. He was just like “yeah sure I’ll take you there let’s go.” I live in Japan and have had a lot of similar experiences with people just giving me rides or taking me to dinner. I met an old Japanese guy at the maglev museum and he offered to take me to the train station but then got a call from his friend who wanted to get dinner so we went to a restaurant with his old female friend. I also became friends with the owner of a hotel in Hokkaido and he took me sledding down mountain roads at midnight with his family which was the craziest thing I’ve ever done. I also got to volunteer in a huge Shinto festival and dress up and everything. If you’re not an extrovert… pretend to be one.
I'm an introvert, but that sounds fantastic, seriously. To have people show you places or situations that you'd never otherwise experience... incredible!
this has been one of my favorite Bald vlogs yet. so much fun and chill. the cambodians are happy people as are you in your small pink ill-fitted generalize merchandise helment. it really will help while you drink beer and cruise over roughshod roads steering one handed my friend!!! Cheers, from Nova Scotia.
@@abhinavborkotoky5532Delhi is not mainland India. Mainland would be Mumbai, Bangalore even Gujarat Ahmedabad. Plenty of diversity in main land India then just old Varanasi or something
Cambodians are such wonderful, welcoming and giving people . I represented a man in court who was originally from cambodia and was a child soldier and victim of the Khmer Rouge. He was a wonderful person who I now consider a friend. He welcomed me into the Cambodian-American community in the city of Lowell Massachusetts. All great people .
Maybe just biased after watching the India video, but Cambodia seems so peaceful. The people seem like some of the most friendly people you have met thus far. There is something to be said about true suffering and the indomitable spirit of the Cambodians. Such lovely people with such a dark history
Lived here for awhile and can confirm they are some of the best people out there. Especially if you make an attempt to speak the language! If you come here head to some smaller towns for an experience you won't get anywhere else 🤙🏻
My god, Cambogia is amazing, I fell in love with it... I'd live in the lake city and it's relatively clean compared to other "third world" countries. That train station is cleaner than many italian stations... And the capital looks nice. Also Buddhist temples are astonishing, I hope you'll show one in the next part of the video. BEST COUNTRY 😭
Cambodians amongst the friendliest people I've ever met. Beautiful country, amazing temples, yet the killing fields and modern history are heartbreaking. It's great the see the country bouncing back.
Thank you bald and Ben, I probably never would have thought Cambodia is such a nice place if it weren’t for you. Showing the history and culture while having a blast and filming it for us. Great work and please keep uploading
29:45 HILARIOUS!!!! Seriously, this is better than the entire NETFLIX collection. Massively entertaining and informative. It is great that big media corporations have not bought (and later destroyed) channels like this one. It is free spirit, sincere, original in all levels. Congrats.
I met a man whose family was slaughtered by the Khmer Rouge. I was speechless as he told me how people were slaughtered like animals. His parents were peasants and were not political. Somehow he escaped and wound up in the US where he opened a doughnut shop.
@@louiss2441people in the States are too indoctrinated to think everything bad is related to communism yet they have no problem with Vietnam. Of course, this is the same people have no issue with their government invading Iraq and illegally bombing Yugoslavia for 40days straight.

@@bendecoHis older videos were about exploring the communist past of East European nations, he’s just able to do it in Cambodia for the first time in a while
All the road sides are filled with garbage. People just throw everything there and hardly use any garbage bins. Water canals in Phnom Penh are god awfull and youll puke if you go near em. City streets are cleaned, but thats about it.
@@TheSycotik Honestly cleaner than many parts the US, to be honest. Even with poverty and pollution, people here are far more respectful in spite of their lack of resources
You stayed around the corner from me in PP. Cambodia has a plan for development, especially given it’s so recent past. Looking forward to your next vlogs. The kindest and most genuine people you’ll ever meet.
Cambodian people are so different from india. You can tell that even though they don't have much, they look after things and make the best of what they have. I didn't know cambodia was this beautiful.
Getting on the bike holding a beer talking to the military guy is so funny to me. Omg the chaos of the rain is amazing. Thank you for sharing the history. It's something I know little about.
I’m originally from Bangladesh. People give India a hard time re lack of cleanliness but I’m afraid I have to report that urban Bangladesh is pretty awful too. Dhaka in particular. I’ve done a fair bit of travelling around South East Asia and it’s really noticeable how much cleaner it is than South Asia.
It's all bad even when you come to the west. Youre own personal hygiene leaves alot to be desired. And I don't get it in the west we invented soap deodorant shower gel. Even extractors for the kitchen
@@johnsmith-ht3sy some poor people in India have to live in very bad standards, its not their mistake. Criticizing is good but insulting and comparing Indians to dogs, all those are extreme. History proved pride comes before fall I believe time will prove this again.
Great vid. !👍You are a crazy fam. trooper, all videos are genious ! Cambodia is one of best countries despite the very cruel story, people now have overcome it and can look forward to be happy again ! Love for Cambodia and people❤!❤🙏THY
@@hypnophonz It's as safe as any other country, especially safer (violence wise) than Europe. Accidents? don't do stupid things and nothing will happen to you. Been here for almost a year now and had no accidents. With that said, Thailand is still the better option.
People I've met claimed that it's dangerous but they never been there. The cambos that I've met in the have problems. Gangs drugs etc. People I've met that used to live there love it. It's cheaper than Thailand and Visa's are easy. That being said they still prefer Thailand.
Thank you once again, Ben, for this amazing video! The people of Cambodia are resilient people and if we can learn from the past, we can plan and build a brighter future!
Despite it's horrible past - what a nice clean country Cambodia is!!!! Nice to see they care about their country, and have not turned it onto a rubbish dump (like another country that Bald has visited recently!!) Safe travels!!!
I have never been to Cambodia, but I have met lots of people from there. Top notch people. Very friendly and driven. I know most immigrants are hard working and driven, but these guys are fantastic.
So many wonderful scenes of blue sky, clouds and green grass in the background. I don't know if I ever enjoyed just watching the background as much as I did in this video. What a lovely county and the people, I would love to visit one day!
6:00 Ganz Berg Beer is German Premium Beer, that nobody knows in Germany, but it is made by a german brewmaster in Cambodia and is popular among the locals
In Thailand there was also a german beer from 'Kloster-Brauerei' which was only available there. The Thai called it 'Klotaeh' It wasn't bad, but disappeared in 2015 or so
The way those children holded their hand to show gratitude , this is what etiquette looks like. I've no clue about Bald's intentions to denigrate India but he just showed you the Indian in present. You can despise him as much as u want or can start rejuvenating India and Indian's behavior. We got a lot to improve in India.I bet say, Bald is an intellectual person. He might have passed some withering comments however he posses acerbic wit, He is a gentleman.
we learnt that etiquette from the ancient indians. sad to see modern indians no longer continue the legacy of their ancestors but instead the tradition is carried on by the cambodians
@@cambodianpleasuresquad1753well said, but modern north India is merely an overpopulated extension of the Middle East. Parts of South India still maintain the cultural continuum to south east Asia.
I visited Cambodia in 1991. On our boat ride back from Angkor Wat, during a refueling stop, there was a loud explosion. Everybody panicked, maybe thinking it was Khmer Rouge, but turns out somebody got careless with a match. The boat engines were toast and my friend and I grabbed the only taxi in town and negotiated a ride to Phnom Penh. The old driver spoke a little French and I asked him jokingly if the KR were about and he said sure. I spent most of a day at S-21, very grim. Incredible how such nice people can have such a bloody past.
There is a documentary film about the prison place named "S21: Khmer Rouge's Killing Machine." in which they interviewed some survivors and former guards of the prison. Those guards narrate about their duties and how they worked in the prison during that time. The documentary film is worth the time to understand more about the prison.
Cambodia is a beautiful country. My favorite country out of all of my travels. The people were great. I really do want to head back there. Maybe this coming winter I will.

Now him and Backpacker Ben needed an actual vacation and not being scammed by every single person or having to step over human feces or dodging children who yank on your arm begging for money while you're sleeping on the train lmao.
Assuming you've been there (I take it you have?) - you must have experienced some real bad luck.
@@robo9804 His last video was in India and it cause a bit of a viral flame war in the comments. It looks like people are still a bit salty.
Bet you’ve never been to India.
I live in this beautiful country, full of beautiful people. It was nice to see a newcomer's reactions.
I second that part about how clean Cambodia is, Honestly despite the lack of english speakers compared to Indias capital, I'd much prefer to visit Cambodia.
beautiful to see!
Fun fact they speak more french than english overthere
Delhi is a very old urban city for first tourists coming to India. I would recommend Goa or Kerala in the south with its beaches or Ladakh Himachal Pradesh Himalayan mountainous regions in north
I'd like to say that those in the country side/unpopular tourism area are lacking in English but if you visit their capital city the English aren't even a problem especially the young generation they're speaking fluently English in the capital.
@@necroplastful it's a fact back in the past but not now. The newer generation (mostly city folk) prefer and use English since it's give them a better job opportunity
@@necroplastful Here's another fun fact: That's incorrect. They gained their independence from France in 1953. So maybe only 5% do,... that are over 65. Their English proficiency is trending upwards, especially amongst the youth. Cheers
I have been to Cambodia twice and absolutely love the people. Such kind and welcoming people despite their living conditions.
I'm going to Cambodia next month and this video has got me hyped up
Hit up Siem Reap's Ankor Wat if u haven't planned to already. I'd also recommend getting up before sunrise to view and in addition you"ll avoid the crowds & heat, Cheers
Thankyou for all the efforts and expense of travelling to share with us all.
God bless those poor innocent Cambodian souls.
Cambodia is the only country ive been to where a group of people will invite you every time to eat and drink beer with them. The reason he pulled the beer ring for you is because you can potentially win thousands of dollars or a car and there have been fights in the past after the buyer of the beer has shared his beer and the person who opened it runs off and claims the prize 😂
Haha interesting, thanks for the info
The ring pull is worth nothing for big prizes without the empty can as it has a matching aligned image stamped inside and both must be presented for the prize claim.
Not everyone here is aware of that rule and it creates quite a problem when greed kicks in and one or both dont want to share.
Indonesia used to be like that, Vietnam and rural Thailand are like that.
Lost count how many times I've been invited back to strangers homes for a sit down family feast, jokes about marrying their daughters and home made rice based liquor
@@Kielbasa_Starmer Is it just jokes though? ;)
usually the big prizes (eg. cars or motorbikes) are never in just one ring (you're gonna need to collect maybe 4 rings each with a piece of the 'puzzle'); I think what's happening here is for those exchange things where u can get 1 free beer for every, say 20 rings.
i love how bald explains the history and context of the places he visits, i feel he truly admires and appreciates the time and places he visits. good job lad!
I admire him for speaking the language of every country he goes to he obviously making a huge effort in learning, respect to him.
Thank you Ben, for taking us & showing us to all these places with you for all these years, it's been absolutely great.💯❤️
the Delhi comparisons are wild especially after he talks about how Pol Pot killed a quarter of the population like 50 years ago.
Delhi is filthy Cambodia is not
@@pete35901brother agreed.. But countries like Bangladesh and Pakistan are worst.. No safety.. So much instability
@@Abdulkadirpak750 alright pajeeeet, we know it's you
As someone who lives in Cambodia and has for quite some time, this was very interesting. Most Khmer people do not want to talk about the past, as it left so many scars on the country that still affect it to this day. Despite that, Cambodians are some of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. Even simple farmers out in the rural areas who don't speak any English whatsoever will try their best to help you in any way they can. Truly a hidden gem
I travelled there when I was young, the difference between the Cambodians and the Indians was striking. Two peoples in South Asia and yet so different in culture and respect for others.
Is there any Cambodian who can answer a question about vaccination in Cambodia or is it forbidden / illegal to talk about this?
@@Mgoblagulkablong it's not forbidden.
@@IntrepidTraveler-b1b If I stay in Cambodia long term and there is another pandemic in the future and I do NOT want to get another vaccine, what do you think would happen? Would the state / police leave me alone as long as I don't go anywhere or would they come for me? What about doctors / hosiptals, during a pandemic will they refuse to treat / help UNvaccinated people, do you need a vaccine card for a hospital? Thank you.
@@Mgoblagulkablong Hey there, during the COVID-19 pandemic here in Cambodia, the government treated both local and foreigner the same way. You will receive vaccination for free, and if you happened to caught the virus, you'll then be hospitalize free of charge until you're fully recover.
If you do not wish to get any vaccination, it is possible and up to your choice. But protection is always better than curing, right?
We are among the first few countries to open up due to our high numbers of people being vaccinated for free and fast. And for now, COVID-19 card is not required. Hope it help!
Amazing that guy led you all that way. He was just like “yeah sure I’ll take you there let’s go.” I live in Japan and have had a lot of similar experiences with people just giving me rides or taking me to dinner. I met an old Japanese guy at the maglev museum and he offered to take me to the train station but then got a call from his friend who wanted to get dinner so we went to a restaurant with his old female friend. I also became friends with the owner of a hotel in Hokkaido and he took me sledding down mountain roads at midnight with his family which was the craziest thing I’ve ever done. I also got to volunteer in a huge Shinto festival and dress up and everything. If you’re not an extrovert… pretend to be one.
I'm an introvert, but that sounds fantastic, seriously. To have people show you places or situations that you'd never otherwise experience... incredible!
You may as well do LAOS as well since you’re in the neighbourhood! 🇱🇦 Loving the reaction to your recent ramble in India btw! 🇮🇳😄
this has been one of my favorite Bald vlogs yet. so much fun and chill. the cambodians are happy people as are you in your small pink ill-fitted generalize merchandise helment. it really will help while you drink beer and cruise over roughshod roads steering one handed my friend!!! Cheers, from Nova Scotia.
1:32 bald spewing historical knowledge on a moped in a pink helmet is way funnier then it should be
Cambodia was always one of my favourite countries during my travels. The people were lovely despite the relatively recent tragedies.
Looks 10x better than India.
it is
Absolutely... mainland india is nasty...but the southern, northeast and hilly states are totally different than delhi, varanasi and other such dumps
@@abhinavborkotoky5532Delhi is not mainland India. Mainland would be Mumbai, Bangalore even Gujarat Ahmedabad. Plenty of diversity in main land India then just old Varanasi or something
It literally looks like southern India.
Was about to say that
the people in SE Asia are wonderful. They've been through lots of hardship, yet keep their spirit. I love this.
I agree 100%
Cambodians are such wonderful, welcoming and giving people .
I represented a man in court who was originally from cambodia and was a child soldier and victim of the Khmer Rouge.
He was a wonderful person who I now consider a friend. He welcomed me into the Cambodian-American community in the city of Lowell Massachusetts. All great people .
Maybe just biased after watching the India video, but Cambodia seems so peaceful. The people seem like some of the most friendly people you have met thus far. There is something to be said about true suffering and the indomitable spirit of the Cambodians. Such lovely people with such a dark history
Lived here for awhile and can confirm they are some of the best people out there. Especially if you make an attempt to speak the language! If you come here head to some smaller towns for an experience you won't get anywhere else 🤙🏻
Glad to have you in Cambodia! Wishing you a fun and safe journey throughout the Kingdom!
Cambodia is beautiful and the people awesome ❤️ Love from Finland 🇫🇮
@@rivetRnC if you visit cambodia one day I'll be happy to guide you through out the country.sending love from Cambodia.
Looks fantastic love from england 🏴. Philippines is awesome
My god, Cambogia is amazing, I fell in love with it... I'd live in the lake city and it's relatively clean compared to other "third world" countries.
That train station is cleaner than many italian stations... And the capital looks nice.
Also Buddhist temples are astonishing, I hope you'll show one in the next part of the video.
BEST COUNTRY 😭
I visited the lake city. There are a few small hotels for tourists who want to try out the lake life.
Cambodians amongst the friendliest people I've ever met. Beautiful country, amazing temples, yet the killing fields and modern history are heartbreaking. It's great the see the country bouncing back.
Not all lots of gangsters
Thank you bald and Ben, I probably never would have thought Cambodia is such a nice place if it weren’t for you.
Showing the history and culture while having a blast and filming it for us. Great work and please keep uploading
It's generally not. Idk what part of a terrorist group being in power makes you think its peaceful.

I met a man whose family was slaughtered by the Khmer Rouge. I was speechless as he told me how people were slaughtered like animals. His parents were peasants and were not political. Somehow he escaped and wound up in the US where he opened a doughnut shop.
A lot of Cambodian folks live in the states because of what happened with the communist regime
@@zoewtang the US literally funded the Khmer Rouge, look up Jack Colhoun's work
@@zoewtang the vietcong liberated them from the khmer rouge in 2 weeks.

Gonna be there in 2 weeks, sad I missed you. Keep the content up👍👍👍
The history I learn from this man is crazy! I did pretty good in school and never learned so much of this. Thank you Bald
Man these videos are the most engaging content on TH-cam in my opinion. Just absolutely wild how captivating you're able to make the most mundane things.
Cambodia is such an amazing country with the kindest people! ❤
Agreed!❤ Cambodia -Fro। Nepal
Right, so why the hell is he looking for pole pot and the Khmer Rouge? Such a pointless trek.
@@bendeco lots of pent up rage from being so nice
@@bendeco probably because its the only thing cambodia is known for other than being bombed by the US
@@bendecoHis older videos were about exploring the communist past of East European nations, he’s just able to do it in Cambodia for the first time in a while
welcome to CAMBODIA 🇰🇭🙏 thank you for your sharing.
I'm starting to think that all these coincidental meetings with other Ben were not a coincidence...
watch other ben’s videos, youll see
Cambodia is very beautiful 👍🏻 no trash or human feces in the streets (unlike some other country)
😭😭😭
All the road sides are filled with garbage. People just throw everything there and hardly use any garbage bins. Water canals in Phnom Penh are god awfull and youll puke if you go near em. City streets are cleaned, but thats about it.
@@TheSycotik We are comparing it with India mate, obviously its not the cleanest country but compared to India it does feel like it.
@@TheSycotik still feels like a developed city compared to delhi
@@TheSycotik Honestly cleaner than many parts the US, to be honest. Even with poverty and pollution, people here are far more respectful in spite of their lack of resources
You stayed around the corner from me in PP. Cambodia has a plan for development, especially given it’s so recent past. Looking forward to your next vlogs. The kindest and most genuine people you’ll ever meet.
Any idea of the name of that hotel? Soum akoun
@@Jack-2day Mettavary Hotel
Cambodian people are so different from india. You can tell that even though they don't have much, they look after things and make the best of what they have. I didn't know cambodia was this beautiful.
Getting on the bike holding a beer talking to the military guy is so funny to me.
Omg the chaos of the rain is amazing.
Thank you for sharing the history. It's something I know little about.
This makes me happy, a new B&B video I get to watch once I wake up. ☺️✈️ 🧳

Spent 2 weeks in Vietnam and Cambodia pre COVID. Such awesome communities.
I always laugh at the part in every video when bald acts so surprised to see backpacker Ben
LOL it actually annoys some viewers.
It's a welcome classic bit, for sure.👍
I’m originally from Bangladesh. People give India a hard time re lack of cleanliness but I’m afraid I have to report that urban Bangladesh is pretty awful too. Dhaka in particular. I’ve done a fair bit of travelling around South East Asia and it’s really noticeable how much cleaner it is than South Asia.
Indian bots on here upset by comments.
@@johnsmith-ht3sy It’s daft them getting upset. Totally pointless. They should accept the reality and work to improve it.
It's almost like they're a similar people...
It's all bad even when you come to the west. Youre own personal hygiene leaves alot to be desired. And I don't get it in the west we invented soap deodorant shower gel. Even extractors for the kitchen
@@johnsmith-ht3sy some poor people in India have to live in very bad standards, its not their mistake. Criticizing is good but insulting and comparing Indians to dogs, all those are extreme. History proved pride comes before fall I believe time will prove this again.
Great vid. !👍You are a crazy fam. trooper, all videos are genious ! Cambodia is one of best countries despite the very cruel story, people now have overcome it and can look forward to be happy again ! Love for Cambodia and people❤!❤🙏THY

It is high on the Don't Dare Go List.
U best get accident insurance now.
Are you on holiday? 😂
@@hypnophonz It's as safe as any other country, especially safer (violence wise) than Europe. Accidents? don't do stupid things and nothing will happen to you. Been here for almost a year now and had no accidents. With that said, Thailand is still the better option.
People I've met claimed that it's dangerous but they never been there. The cambos that I've met in the have problems. Gangs drugs etc. People I've met that used to live there love it. It's cheaper than Thailand and Visa's are easy. That being said they still prefer Thailand.
Dear @damiendunn Let's keep Cambodia as a hidden gems, for only those who knows, will knows! We don't want another Bali here in Phnom Penh haha
The way u everytime pops up Ben in ur videos is amazing. ❤
Thank you once again, Ben, for this amazing video!
The people of Cambodia are resilient people and if we can learn from the past, we can plan and build a brighter future!
yup
Despite it's horrible past - what a nice clean country Cambodia is!!!!
Nice to see they care about their country, and have not turned it onto a rubbish dump (like another country that Bald has visited recently!!)
Safe travels!!!
it isnt that clean, i ve been there for three weeks and everywhere someone is burning trash...
😂Cleaner than India tho much much cleaner
It helps when you have 1.4 billion fewer people to worry about
@@Jba8179 iv been on the outskirt of Kampot even there too many trash, and they burning trash all the time.
@@markmeloni2388southeast Asian countries burn trashes all the time due to the lack of recycling plants in the region.

I have never been to Cambodia, but I have met lots of people from there. Top notch people. Very friendly and driven. I know most immigrants are hard working and driven, but these guys are fantastic.
So many wonderful scenes of blue sky, clouds and green grass in the background. I don't know if I ever enjoyed just watching the background as much as I did in this video. What a lovely county and the people, I would love to visit one day!
6:00 Ganz Berg Beer is German Premium Beer, that nobody knows in Germany, but it is made by a german brewmaster in Cambodia and is popular among the locals
I told my Khmer friends this fact and they laughed their asses off.
And it’s awful! Cambodia > Angkor > Anchor > Ganzberg!
In Thailand there was also a german beer from 'Kloster-Brauerei' which was only available there. The Thai called it 'Klotaeh' It wasn't bad, but disappeared in 2015 or so
Than rather that Tuborg that we saw in the first few seconds :)

Great Adventure and impressive Storytelling ! Mr. Bald you inspired me for a new Journey
Almost 20 years since I was in Cambodia. Still on the must return list of countries India is not on that list. Loved Cambodia.
That’s high point of having riveting content… You can be gone for months and pick up right where you left off without skipping a beat… Welcome back 🎉
The way those children holded their hand to show gratitude , this is what etiquette looks like. I've no clue about Bald's intentions to denigrate India but he just showed you the Indian in present. You can despise him as much as u want or can start rejuvenating India and Indian's behavior. We got a lot to improve in India.I bet say, Bald is an intellectual person. He might have passed some withering comments however he posses acerbic wit, He is a gentleman.
we learnt that etiquette from the ancient indians. sad to see modern indians no longer continue the legacy of their ancestors but instead the tradition is carried on by the cambodians
"Children held their hand" 😉
@@cambodianpleasuresquad1753well said, but modern north India is merely an overpopulated extension of the Middle East. Parts of South India still maintain the cultural continuum to south east Asia.
Haha indian
I visited Cambodia in 1991. On our boat ride back from Angkor Wat, during a refueling stop, there was a loud explosion. Everybody panicked, maybe thinking it was Khmer Rouge, but turns out somebody got careless with a match. The boat engines were toast and my friend and I grabbed the only taxi in town and negotiated a ride to Phnom Penh. The old driver spoke a little French and I asked him jokingly if the KR were about and he said sure. I spent most of a day at S-21, very grim. Incredible how such nice people can have such a bloody past.
Seeing this is in the Top 3 parts of my day. Absolutely love your ventures, the journeys are informative and eye-opening. Many Thanks!
that whole scene on the lake is hilarious. a couple rain drops fall and Bald's screaming I'm not a seaman!
Paradise compared to India
I completely agree
Bro he didn't visit south india, India is not just Delhi and UP
@@Since-1994 Why you lying? 😂😂
@@cizor8616 go and search
Exactly how we are meant to live ,free and self sufficient,
There is a documentary film about the prison place named "S21: Khmer Rouge's Killing Machine." in which they interviewed some survivors and former guards of the prison. Those guards narrate about their duties and how they worked in the prison during that time. The documentary film is worth the time to understand more about the prison.
The Hotel for £15 is crazzyyyyy I have to visit Phnom Penh!
Cambodia is a beautiful country. My favorite country out of all of my travels. The people were great. I really do want to head back there. Maybe this coming winter I will.
