- Traveling to Cambodia? Here are my most important Cambodia travel tips and advice.
I traveled within Cambodia for about a month. I am not your average traveler. My goal was only to experience culture - to do this, I mostly traveled away from the tourist areas. I learned a few important things during my stay.
I hopes these tips and advice help future travelers!

So sad to see that you're leaving Cambodia. As a Cambodian, I appreciate that you speak the truths about here but in the appropriate way. You're videos will be the best guides for other tourists who interested to visit here. Best of Luck!
- Many thanks! 😇😇
Thanks from Cambodia. It a nice video. Welcome every time brother.
This is great sharing video. And I hope you had a great time in Cambodia
Great video. I will be visiting in November 2019
nice, hopefully me too
If you plan to visit Cambodia on November you'll probably notice that there is few Tuk Tuk left in the Capital Phnom Penh as almost every tuk tuk driver has invest in a Passap ( kind of mordern tuk tuk )which is a tourist and local favorite transportation. You can download an application on your cellphone and it work the same way as UBER. You don't need to worry about the rip off because the price is base on the distance which is more than fair. About the hotel , you can have a comfortable room from 17$/ night up to 5000$/ night in Phnom Penh.Depending which city or village you'll visit the cost will vary. About the hostel.. i would not recommend that unless bedbugs don't bother you.Cambodian people are very polite and most of the staff who work in a hotel earn around 5$ to 10$US dollars per day. I hope those infos will help you and wish you a nice trip in Cambodia
I'll be visiting Cambodia next year January 2020
Have a great time
@@memonita4913 tq, are you Cambodian?
good luck
@@rithikmoninungchea5157 tq, i hope everything going well
You’re welcome
Thanks this was really helpful! I'll be going to Cambodia in January/February 2020 and I've learned a lot just with this one video!
- Cool. Good to hear! Enjoy! 🙌💪🙏
Loved watching youre videos of Cambodia (my favourite country on this planet).
Best of wishes in youre future travels and thanks for sharing youre adventures.
- Many many thanks! :) 😇🌏
Thanks for your love
I have an buddha head tattoo on my neck is that offensive and will it block me going to Cambodia thanks
Thanks Brock, Your have really helped with many of my questions about cambodia. So much of everything you are doing on your travel adventurers are almost exactly what my restless soul seeks. Culture and human experiences and far more valuable than any touristy activity. Keep it up, I look forward to seeing more of your adventures.
- 😇😇
Thank you for come to Cambodia 🇰🇭
- 🙏🙌😇
Hi you give good advice.so many thanks
going back home to visit after 42 years.super excited
Thanks for sharing about Cambodia 🇰🇭💕
Ah. Such a great video. I'm moving to Siem Riep soon and this was very insightful. I've lived in Phnom Penh back in 2017 and looking to move back to Cambodia. So this was a great refresher and I learned new things too! Thank you! 🙏🏼
- 🙏😇😇😇😇
Thank you for this informative and well-balanced video, As your tips were very helpful in helping me prepare for my first trip to Asia and Cambodia this October. Greetings from Louisiana, and looking forward to sing this fascinating country soon!
Welcome to Cambodia 🇰🇭😍🇰🇭❤️
Thanks for this video. My husband and I will be going to Cambodia in the new year and are really looking forward to it. Always great to have advice form people who also like to travel away from tourist places at times. :)
- 😇😇😇
Hi there and thank you very much I appreciate you Sharing this information most helpful,I just might be going there this November for my birthday just for 2 weeks but its all good.
This video was so helpful, thank you so much. I spent two weeks in Vietnam last December and loved it. I'm planning a trip to Cambodia soon. Cheers.
- 😇😇
Thank you for sharing. Love Cambodia people ❤️🙏🏼
Extremely helpful! Thank you so much! So concise and to the point... I have watched so many Cambodia Vlogs in preparation for my trip and this is perhaps the MOST helpful one yet! Especially your observation on the Tuk Tuk's!! That was a surprise! I was wondering though is vegetarian food widely available in Cambodia or will it be difficult?
- Yay 🙏💪🙌🙌 Glad I could help!
Not sure to be honest. I'm sure it is. when you order off of a menu, just tell them no meat. They will make the dish without it. It shouldn't be a problem :)
Meghana Vs for vegetarian people you won't have any problem at all. there are vegetarian dishes in every restaurant . I recommend you to use Passap which is to be a mode of transport of the same type as UBER but instead of calling a cab you will have a modern type of " tuk tuk " . You can download the app on appstore or Google play and very easy to use. Passap is present everywhere in Cambodia. wishing you a nice trip in Cambodia ☺️
@@tommydarakhmer4300 Thank you so much for this!! I had not heard of this at all. I will be sure to download Passap :)
Meghana Vs your Welcome ! i am going to Cambodia from 30 november till mid- January . Can't wait to be there 🤗
@@tommydarakhmer4300 Sounds wonderful! I hope you have a great time. I'm going there for 15 days in December.
Oh I do remember watching this video, last year when I traveled to Cambodia.
- haha, that was me ;)
Wish I saw this before my trip. Watching it after the fact, in retrospect, you are spot on.
- Cool! 👊👊
Nice video very helpful.Looking forward to watch more from you.Stay connected.
Well, my advice to top up what you have just stated about tuk-tuk ride is if you have a local SIM card you can download PassApp, a local ride app including tuk-tuk and taxi and prices are set, no haggling for price and it’s so affordable.
- 😇😇 Next time
Thanks a lot Bro for your interesting informations ! Keep going!!Good luck^^
pleas came to see my country #Cambodiatravel0001
Good advice.
Absolutely !If you gesture like that maybe Cambodians think you are rude . Don't forget to take off your hat when you're in pagoda .We just salute to someone that is Cambodian .And it's 5 type of saluting . Learning Khmer culture maybe are difficult for foreigners btw thank you so much for coming to Cambodia and show the world how beautiful Cambodia is!!!And sorry for my English moreover I hope you understand what I mean.
- 😇😇
Excellent video. Thank you very much.
- 😇🙌🙏
This is exactly the information I was looking. Thanks a ton. Can you also let me know the camera / lens you used here?
- Glad you found it beneficial!
This was with the canon 70d with a sigma 18-35mm 1.8
@@Edgesofearth thanks mate 🙂
I wish more people watched your videos. Great advice tips and tricks no matter where you travel. How long do you want to stay on the road?
- Haha, many thanks.
I want to be on the road until I flop over dead lol. Seriously.
I'm Cambodian and its pretty cool here
- ✌✌😇
There’s a lot of traffic accidents tho
@@vongleng4825 true
Hi maybe you should go to Angkor wat and so go prey lol temple I am recommending you to go to veal veng and somlot district it good for camping and travel I am cambodia boy too nice to meet you
Loved your video! Well spoken and sensible with a good slap at the end ha ha
- 😄
Great article! Thanks. 👍🏼
- 😇🙏
You did a good job and it's very informative. Does Hostels got air conditioner?
- Most did, yes. The only that didn't were the cheap places with hammocks didn't..
Great tips, very helpful.
For the tuk tuk I reccomend Grab or Passapp applications. It's less expensive than the tuktuks that don't use those apps. And price is fixed in advance, so you can see how much you are spending before getting on the tuk tuk.
- 😇😇😇
Thanks for liking my country
Will love to come to Cambodia...
Planning to relocate to Cambodia soon on a new job assignment.. any tips to find good accommodation?
@@jeets6684 can you be specific
Amazing video! I'm going to Cambodia in October, you have helped so much!
- Glad I could help!
Really really good stuff. Tnx 4posting👍
- 😇😇😇
I mean you could still learn it from the internet but going to see it yourself pretty much describes the whole vibe
Nice advise and tips
Good timing YT recommended this for me. Im about to go there in 2 days lol as for tuktuk, i think Passapp (local ride hailing app) helps a lot to avoid overpricing or scam
- Yeah, people told me about this after I left 😂😇🙏
Enjoy your trip! 🙌
Great job Brock-- very thorough! OOh, that key thing is scary. There's sommmmething going on with your camera that i can't figure out. It's like you're in 3D or something. When you reach out to do your "come here" thing it's like you're very dimensional. It's cool. =D . PS that boat tour was cool; but i got ripped off on one of those.
- I don't know about the 3D thing. Weird. :-)
The boat tour was $25. This included me and two local people who came with me. I rented the entire boat for all of us. I'm assuming this was a local price because I was not even at the ticket counter. I stayed on the motorbike and the girls walked up to place the order, and then I came to pay. Do you remember what you paid?
From 3 years out of date pricing, that sort of boat ride(if it is within a 2 to 3 hours return trip), per person, is about 2.5 to 4 USD for locals. Foreigners'price should be about twice or triple that, so I think you were ripped off by the boat owner.
- Maybe. The girl went upbm to buy the ticket alone. I was not with her. So, they didn't know a foreigner was going until after they gave the price.
Thanks a lot for the video, your video helps a lot
The hostel can save you money but if you met a lady you might not want to stay at hostel. The next option would be guesthouses. They have them all over the city and they tend to be much cheaper than hotels. You can get a decent one between 10.00 and 15.00 a night
The other important about Typhoid Fever prevention if you are traveling to that part of the world causes by eating or drinking contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. The drug Vivotif Berna, you can either take 4 capsules (needed every 5 years) or 1 injection (needed every 2 years) before your trip. Check with you local travel doctor. Great tips and advice sir. Greeting from Khmer in Minnesota!
- Interesting. Thanks for the tips! It will be helpful to Anyone who reads these comments.
Great video. I liked Siem Reap but it was even hotter than Chiang mai. Question: Do people smoke in these hostels?
- Every hostel is different. Most are quite relaxed...
Thanks
Is the sim card still necessary if you have 4G? Great video btw
- Not sure I understand. After a local Cambodian SIM is purchased and inserted in to the phone, you will have 4G 💪
ohhh I understand - Thanks Brother
Thankyou for this i am planning to go there
Welcome to my country, Cambodia. You can watch more temples in my channel before visiting. Good luck!
Nice video thanks 🤗
- 😇😇
❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍🇰🇭
What was the tour you did on the lil river with the stilt houses? I did something similar in Bangkok, it was amazing.
- I don't remember the name..I have a video about it, though. Maybe you can find details in it..
It's been so long ago for me :)
I'M Cambodia 😍🥰🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭
Thanks for the tips! Would you recommend the country though? Can you pay by card or are there many ATMs out there?
- Yes atms are easy to find. And cards are accepted in the major cities/towns. Cash only for street vendors.
This country was hit/miss for me. It all depends on what a person is searching for, I suppose.
Edges Of Earth thank you. Really helpful. What were your thoughts on Bali? I am thinking of going
- I have never been. Indonesia sounds awesome. But I would stay away from Bali because of the tourism. Yuck haha. I travel differently.
Edges Of Earth thank you
Leslie Lewis-Walker Bali is gorgeous! I visited many many years ago, but it is one of my top 5 favourite places ever. The beaches are the best I’ve ever experienced, diving and snorkelling (actually all water sports) are really impressive, seafood is divine, people and temples are sublime...a really gentle, sweet place to visit.
Welcome to my our country Cambodia 🇰🇭.
hy bro I'm from bangladesh. I need a help. this my nambur 01884647395 I need call
You should have been to the Killing Fields museum where Cambodia started its year 0. That would have explained you a lot about why we are who we are today
- I actually did visit that location. It definitely wasn't enjoyable. Such a rough piece of history to learn about 😬
But I can definitely see how something like this could impact a culture for generations..
@@Edgesofearth is there an episode of it? I’m sure I’ve watched all of your Cambodia solo trip playlist. Or did I miss something?
- no. It felt too wrong to film the inside of this place. 😬
Welcome to Cambodia
- 🙏🙏😇😇🙌
i'm from Cambodia but I speak just like you but my others friend can't speak like you so I just think that i'm one of your people even I live in Cambodia :D
Same, but I can still speak fluent khmer and english
Møøñlïght Chäñ me too
I’m not sure what you think is expensive but we used tuk tuks and they were so cheap. The locals used them too. So I would say just work out the price ahead and use tuk Tuks to go everywhere!
- I am comparing to southeast Asian countries
First time in a long time that hearing someone correct the I’m from America and using correctly from United States thanks and big respect from the other countries that belong to America because America is a huge continent and not a country ( I’m American from Chile ) thanks for the tips going to Cambodia soon...
- sometimes I use the term America loosely. very often while traveling in Asia, people ask where I am from and I tell them I am from the United states or the USA... they look at me very confused, and then I say America and then they understand the meaning. so now often in my videos I say that I am from America because many people do not understand the other terms...lol
if I say one term people think I am arrogant, and if I say the other term people simply don't understand, so I don't know what to do 😂
@@Edgesofearth Totally agree with you, I often, while I travel around Asia happens the same but in the opposite way, I tell them I am from America and they automatically thinking From USA just Hilarious… btw any tips for Angkor Wat? I am pretty confused about which temple route should I do for 3 days or the most significative temples to visit. Just in case you can advise me, I will thanks in advance anyway if you will visit Paris and need tips I will glad to help . . . ps; sexy lips :)
- 😂😂👄
I skipped Angkor Wat. I drove past it on a motor bike, and that was good enough for me. I travel for people rather than monuments. Call me weird.😜
So I literally don't know a single thing about Angkor Wat.
I know this is an older video, but I have been watching many of your videos about Vietnam, Cambodia, and the Philippines. I was wondering what was your favorite country in Southeast Asia?
- Philippines 😛
Thank you so Mach
Great video, thank you
Great effort. Thank you so much
When you have been to Cambodia please ? My wife and I think to go on November
- If I remember correctly, it was sometime in January 🤔
Your travels is great, I want to do like you but if I am successful with my videos, I will go travel like you too.
This video had good explanation. Ml
Hi, thanks for coming to my country. You spend less with food and guesthouse or hotel.
You mentioned you didn’t like that if you’re a foreigner, you pay more. Yes, you do pay more unfortunately. But, Hawaii does something similar at certain places. The locals with proper ID get local prices as opposed to tourists. Otherwise, great video. Very informative.
Don't take tuk tuk if you come to Cambodia just download pass app and watch youtube how to used it and it's so cheap. Then tuk tuk
If I wanted to walk through jungle-like forests where there are no other tourists, where would I want to go? I'll be visiting Cambodia in January.
- If you find this place, let me know! 😆
@@Edgesofearth Haha will do!
Welcome in Cambodia guys 😍😍
Thank you for coming to Cambodia
- Many thanks! :)
Planning to relocate to Cambodia soon on a new job assignment.. any tips to find good accommodation? Cambodians please assist..
Hi just wondering how did you get the google translate to output the khmer translation? When I translate from English it says output isn't available in khmer? Thankyou!
- be sure you are connected to the internet. I had choppy internet while in the countryside. I do not think that there is a downloadable offline package for this language.
Thanks man, much appreciated!
Thanks for sharing
How safe is it to leave your motorbike outside where you stay? Won't they steal it?
All the locals in the Philippines park their motorbike in their living room of their apartment at night. That is what you are also supposed to do in Cambodia. Even in North Dakota, my single friends would do that as well during the winter, because of thieves.
do you have a recommendation for a place to rent a bicycle or motorbike? reputable places that don't scam you if you turn in your passport? Thanks!
- I do not. For all I know, the people could have scanned my passport also. I would never know. There is always an option to give them cash, around $35, and then they will use that as collateral without taking your passport. When you return with the bicycle, they will return your $35. That is an alternative :-) that method was for a bicycle. I also rented a bicycle for one US dollar. I gave her a dollar and rode away without any identification. I returned the bicycle and all is well.
A motorbike, however, is different. They always requested a passport. I'm not sure if there's any way around this.
- Don't forget to always take pictures before you leave. Front, back, and both sides. Super important!
Thanks for visit Cambodia 🇰🇭
And need to apologize for some mistakes that make your feelings bad
😖
Great video! I am Khmer but born and raised in Boston, Ma. Planning to go with my parents next year. My mom said I can’t go with my 10yo daughter. She said the locals will know I’m from the U.S. and will steal or scam me!
- Stealing children sounds a bit extreme. I felt completely safe when I visited. But crime does happen.
Scamming? Ha! Yes. You will be scammed all day, every day - with or without your daughter. Not only scam, they often plain refused to give me a local price when I called them out on it. Frustrating indeed.
If you speak the local language, your experience will be sooooo much better. That is my guess..
Most Cambodians are genuine at heart and welcoming people ! The pure Khmers possess naturally a brotherhood and sisterhood attitude towards foreigners . I’ll spend one years in Cambodia by my accent Cambodians people know very well that I’ve grew up in others part of the world but mostly it’s such an amazing and lovely experiences visiting and making some friends in Cambodia . Generally it’s safe when it come for security or walking alone when you’re going to eat out but always be mindful to have extra company to go along would make the trip very interesting enjoyable !!! But remember Cambodia nowadays it’s not the same as before there’s also a lot others ethnicities Especially Vietnam and China that immigrated to Cambodia they will blend with Cambodians people and can speak fluently Khmers language and so far they are very good a dealing with foreigners so just please be aware things or scam can happen anywhere across the globe . Love Cambodia !!💜🙏🏽💜🙏🏽💜🙏🏽
Gday! I'm a half Filipino travel vlogger who cant speak tagalog.. but I'm planning to come to PH this year and learn what it's like to be 100% FILIPINO! Kabayan! I was wondering what are the best beaches/mountains to discover in PH? #RoadToPinas!
BUT they'll accept payments in riel, right?
Feels like I'll get away cheaper then.
Or what do you think?
- 4000 riel is almost identical to the value of 1 US dollar. They will accept payments in either currency. There is no advantage or disadvantage, as far as I could tell, to pay in one currency or the other.
Alright. Appreciate the answer.
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
My country🇰🇭
Hi..i m planning to visit Cambodia on september..i hv planned to take tuk tuk..but i way more comfortable with a bike..just want to knw how much will it cost nd will the police stops as i hv seen another video tht the police asked fr bribe
- depending on where you go, the price will be different. If are visiting PP, the price is wrong $10 per day. If you are visiting SR, I paid $4 per day.
I only rented a motorbike three different times. I never had any problems with police. However, I go to the countryside and not in the tourist area. The majority of the corruption and forced bribery takes place near the tourist area. This is where all of the foreigners are.
In the countryside, generally, the police looked at me and smiled. There was no interest in ruining my day. I usually see them from a distance, and take a different path, however. I tried my best to avoid them altogether. :-)
Thnks a lot..was planning to got angior wat..nd found tht tuk tuk cost around $70 for 3days..so was thinking of renting a bike
Very informative. Good presentarion. Hand signage is a common thing in South East Asia. The single finger beckoning, for asking one to come of the West, is considered extremely rude in the East. Never do that.
- Yeah...there's many more that bi have learned. So weird to me.
BUUUT, that difference between us is what I love to learn about and experience 😇😇😇
It is the differences that make life interesting. Tourists get to experience it first hand by interacting with locals. Having an open mind is a great asset.
- 😇😇😇
Good job
Did you have to leave your passport when you rent a motorbike?
- Yep.
@@Edgesofearth would other ID's be sufficient substitute ( other than drivers license because you obviously need it while driving )
🙏🏼☀️🌙🇰🇭
Hi, hope everything is well with you.
If you don't mind, I would like to know if you have taken any type of malaria profilaxy, since you visit so many countries in Asia.
I am going to visit Cambodia for 6 weeks and I am a little concerned about taking the drugs, especially mefloquine, because of all the side effects I have been reading about.
My doctor says that it isn't necessary for Cambodia, but I would like to know from somebody who as been there.
Thanks for your time :)
- I am probably not the guy to ask. I am crazy. I refuse to put that garbage in my body. I do not want injections. Inoculating are body with dead and injured bacteria to build our immune system is okay. It is the harmful chemicals that come with the injection is what I do not want my body. It is poison and it is toxic. We can also take pills for malaria which is the better alternative. However, that is something that I still do not wish. I have no plans to get any vaccinations before I visit any country. As far as I know, it is not required. I will only do what is required by law. If it is not a mandatory obligation, I will not put it inside my body. Those are my views. However, other people may think differently. I know the limits of my personal body. I know how strong my immune system is. Some people have a very weak immune system and if they were acquire a small infection, they can have a big problem. I will not tell you what to do, but, I will tell you what I personally do :-)
Thank you, it is good to know your opinion :)
If I have any more question in the future is it ok to ask? I really don't want to be annoying :P
- you can ask anything you want. I prefer that you keep them in the chat section, like you already are. This allows other people to read your comments and learn from our conversation.
I am working here in cambodia... i want to go back to my country...can i book my return ticket to thailand and just cross the border...any issues that i will encounter?
- I can't say yes or no. Try to find some internet sources to help guide you 😇😇 I don't want to give you incorrect info.
@@Edgesofearth cant find the info about it... the web suggesting about tours😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
- Hmm, well, if it's a tourbus...then do it. They sometimes gave special connections to get you across the border insanely fast!
Really like night life in Phnom Penh.
Yes true. I hate bargaining. Wish they learn to just put price on the products. When they don't have the price on it seem like they're more likely to cheat you whenever they want.
- Unfortunately, yes 😒
@edges of earth...so your saying i can expect the Khmer people to speak english at a local Khmer market???
- Not everyone speaks English. However, I was rather shocked as to the overall percentage of people who could speak to me. Far greater than Thailand and Vietnam. I rarely needed to use my translator.
But, yes, they're absolutely were scenarios where I needed to use body language or my phone.
The people who spoke to me did not have perfect English, but, it was enough to get the point across.
Edges Of Earth thank you good to know, I'm moving to cambodia next year to retire, I appreciate the response
Same like in indonesia. We call someone with that hand gesture
- 😊😊
tank you about talking of Cambodia
-😇
I don't have a problem with foreigners paying a bit more than the locals for certain things. I used to live in Thailand and if you want to visit national parks, like Khao Yai for example, you pay 400 Baht entrance fee whereas the Thais pay only 40 Baht. If the Thais had to pay also 400 Baht then most Thais couldn't afford to go there. Since you can afford to go on holiday to Cambodia you can also afford 10 dollars entrance fee, and in my opinion Khao Yai is worth every cent of the extra money you pay over the locals. Also, if you live legally in Thailand you can show the staff at the entrance your work permit or retirement visa and then you'll pay the local price of 40 Baht. So, there's that.
- This concept is so strange to me, and definately room for debate across the whole internet.
But if a Cambodian (or any foreigner) came to the usa, I feel it would be so disrespectful to say "ahhh, you are Cambodian...you need to pay more" when you are in line to go to a theme park or something. And when he/she said "huhh, what? Why?" The woman says "well, because you are on your vacation. You can afford a plane ticket, hotels, and food in our country...so you are rich. You need to pay us more now."
My guess is the Cambodian tourist would return back to Cambodia and tell his friends that the USA isn't very kind or fair.
Interesting topic, for sure. 🤔
@@Edgesofearth I totally get where you are coming from, make no mistake on that. The thing is, most people in Thailand as well as Cambodia make so little money, they barely scrape by. So, if a tourist comes by and pays a dollar more for a meal than a local, it makes a big difference to them, but not so much to you. Especially when life in your holiday destination is actually cheaper than back home. I've never been in the US, so I have no idea what prices for daily things are, but again Thailand, almost everything in Thailand is a lot cheaper than Germany, where I'm from.
What I've learned pretty quickly in Thailand, though, is that most prices on the street are up for haggling. So don't feel bad to do so.
- I feel haggling is disrespectful to the people...even though it isn't. It just feels that way to me...
@@Edgesofearth I felt the same, but it is the way to go. If you're there for a couple of weeks it's not that much money, but if you there for months or even years not haggling adds up pretty quickly. Also, don't forget, you're the tourist, so the'll try to charge you more and based on that it gives you, in my opinion, the right to haggle to minimize the rip-off! .-)
I am from East asia and I paid 3* times for my tuition fees in North America as compared to local people/ Westerners. So, the statement that overcharging does not happen in North America is not entirely true
- Correct, because the funding of thr schools are partially funded by taxpayers...and if you weren't a taxpayer in that area, then you must pay more. I dont agree with this. A school should be self-dunded with equal tuition for all.
In the video, I was referring to common things such as food, water, transportation, and accommodation.
I think your talk some is true and some is not because of usd and riel sometime not really 1$ = 4000riel, you can check with the bank
- Currency always fluctuates
