My father and moving to Cambodia

- This is a short video unlike my normal uploads. With the sacrifice of my mother and father; our family moved to Cambodia in 1996. When first arriving in Kampot my father heard of a family living up in Phnom Doung. There my father ventured up and met Siang who had "claimed" the mountain to be his after the Khmer Rouge. Here my father and I try to track him down after last seeing him 10 years prior.
I ended up in America because of people like your father. I honestly don't know if i'd be alive today if it weren't for the church that helped bring us here to the US.
You speak khmer pretty good 👍🏼
So True...... Never forget how thankful We are....👍✌️❤️🌍
America wouldn’t give a rats azz about Southeast Asia anymore. It’s China funding them now. Or else this place would still be a war zone. No offense
That’s not the truth! Educate yourself better next time! First of all You do have merits that’s why you’re alive!
The truth is if you really want to blame!!! 1. The foolish king, 2nd. Communist China and 3. The Vietcong. These three are the true perpetrators that causes Cambodia to collapse in 1975! I should know cause I did my research for those that killed my father and my relatives! I been through the Killing Field myself from 1975 to 1979. Nothing has changed cause Khmer leadership always foolishly make dumb political moves. To this day we are stilled under the Vietcong and China they never freed Khmer. You should know this, It’s all about the power to control and land grabbing.
Your dad also can speak khmer!!! Amazing ❤Thank you for your kindness 🙏
Wow, just found your channel! You speak way better Khmer than me, lol anywho, I see that you are from NH, and I live right on the border of MA and Salem, NH. I will now follow you and your family's journey cause I am now hooked!
Well was born in NH and family is from there. BUT I grew up in Camden Maine :)

watching from the philippines.
from the video. it brings back good memories during my childhood years ... the roadside and houses were very similar going to my mothers hometown.
...philippine countryside is very similar in cambodia. including trees and coconuts and rice fields.
i like the video on cambodian countryside...
Thanks for watching
You should do Part II of this video. It's very interesting how a foreigner came to Cambodia and adapt to the culture, tradition, and lifestyle. Not only that, you married a beautiful Cambodian girl! Your family story touch us all!!
Agreed 🥰
God bless you all

Awwww how beautiful video!

thank you for love our country
Hey man, ive been watching your vids for quite a bit now. Im khmer-american and was born in the states. After watching your vids it really makes me want to go back to my roots and interested in my country. Its really untalked about how a lot of the khmer-americans here in the states dont care about their backgrounds and lose their language. Here has its own stigma/issues with being “too American” or “too foreign.” Anyways, your khmer is really great. Definitely speak way better than i do lol. 👍
Yes that’s good to live in Cambodia but life here is a challenging
It is very sad that most khmer people don't speak Khmer language to their kids also teach them reading and writing in khmer,teach them Khmer history.If we don't change this behavior,our culture, tradition, religion, language will disappeared in the future.
@@Sombokeuth Parents try their best to teach their kids Khmer but sometimes its too hard when they’re only encouraged to speak English in schools and to their friends. When i was younger my parents always spoke khmer to me but i’d only respond back in english. Overtime you lose the ability to speak but can still understand some bits and pieces. Now that im older, ive been picking the language back up. My roomates are khmer and were born and raised in Cambodia so ive been learning a lot more from them. Also sometimes older generations dont want to teach much about the history because they were very traumatized by the Pol Pot regime. My parents wont open up about their life in Cambodia because of that reason. Our nation lost so much during that time.
@@iamgem My mom speak to me in Khmer at home ,my siblings speak Khmer,we always speak Khmer at home,parents must try harder to teach their kids, don't give up.Very sadly majority of Khmer parents speak English to their kids.Khmer kids becoming Americanized is bad,no conscience, disrespectful to their elders, don't know Khmer culture, language and tradition. History has good and bad but it's part of our culture,it must be taught no matter what,I look at Indian and Chinese people,they speak their language to their kids,teach them reading and writing to their kids,also their country history, Chinese and India history is way worse than Cambodia,over 50 millions Chinese people dies during Mao time, millions of Indian die of starvation and genocide by England.Good or bad history is taught to young children so this horrible killing will never happened again.
Yeah don't forget your roots go visit srok Khmer im sort of last generation of refugees once we re gone hopefully ours kids don't forget theirs roots
Nice to meet your dad. Very courageous man.
He looks so gentle
Beautiful vlog❤ thanks for sharing 👍
We are all blessed with your family hard work and dedication for the love of all Cambodian people Awkun Bong !
They are not there for the love but to convert the heathen! It’s not much different from Columbus went to convert the Native Indian. They almost went extinct and their tradition and culture had been destroyed!
i so excited to see you in the TH-cam 💗
Funny that you mentioned about your parents came from New Hampshire , I was visiting Mt Washington and the Loon ski resort a few weeks ago . The fall foliage and mountains were beautiful.
Thanks for sharing your stories 😊
I love how you just respect the country ilysm
thank you
it was really cool to see how courteous you were with your dad; letting him converse and not taking that moment to show off your fluency towards his old friends. but that's not to take away his khmer-speaking skills!
thanks for sharing this with us
Thanks for watching! :)
Orkone for helping my country 🙏🏼
feeling great brother
nice people very pleasant meeting different people... good health and safe...
Thank you
Love from Cambodia ❤️

Oh man I like your presentation, You speak KHMER very good

Thank you for sharing your history of your family's move to Cambodia. Your father speaks Khmer well, but not as good as you. :) If I close my eyes and just listen to you, I swear you are a Khmer native.
Yes very good family
Welcome To Cambodia 🇰🇭 🥰
That's so beautiful ❤️
Brother, your Khmer speaking is fluent and if I had my eyes cloesd I wouldn't know that you're an American.
😂🙏🇰🇭
3:30 just reminds me of baptism or something, and then 3:50 - 6:00 looks like something out of a movie, the mysterious man who appears from afar, is he a man or was he a spirit? he guides them in the right direction and disappears like mist, loved this one so great to see the reunions
I miss my Country Cambodia. Now I move IN to USA 🇺🇸
What an interesting , unique childhood and upbringing you had!
Im blessed to havw had a great one
