Safer than US big cities... Where I live...practice universal precautions...
100%
what？？safe than US cities???
@@Anonymous-user9527 USA talk about jobs opportunity safe you may talk about someone break into your car mask shooting what about that😂
Cambodia has come a long way since their civil war officially ended in 1998. I've returned every year for the last ten years to visit my sole surviving sister since I left the country back in 1979. Be mindful of your surroundings. Be kind whenever possible. It's always possible as life is short to do the things we don't love doing. Peace from a genocide survivor ✌️
Were your ancestors royals, nobles, and businesspersons prior to the KR? If yes, then what a truly amazing survival story to share to the world!
@@BeauBodhi88 My grand parents were part of royal families but most of them did not survive the genocide there. Good leadership leads to prosperity and happiness but poor leadership leads to suffering and death. Sharing is caring as always. Peace✌️
@@KhmerMinnesnowta They were? That’s amazing! It’s so hard to find true royals and nobles! I’ve been searching everywhere! Are you a descendant of Norodom or Sisowath? My ancestors were just feudal noble lords or royal areya (Neak buon sak) military. And interestingly I’m a millennial fraternal twin Pisces Month and dragon year born which is to my recent discovery considered the uniquest and rarest-born human on Earth from Cambodian, to Indian, to Persian, to Chinese, to Egyptian to Greek, to German and to English philosophy for the very first human king on earth was a fraternal twin who was chosen to be sovereign God-King had the exact zodiac sign and exact birthdate as me. Hence why Osiris, Apollo, yamaraja, the devil, and Preah ko Preah keo are the main star figure of the aforementioned kingdom culture as the legendary fraternal twin. Finally I can share this with a confidante and not feel rebuked by the lesser castes perceiving it as a form of gloating or arrogance as a result of their own inferiority complex or envy like the villains in kingdom fairy tales who are upset at the idea of the existence of a hereditary Uniquest-born praised as the born king.
@@BeauBodhi88 My grandma was a descendant from Norodom but I was still young then and I don't know much about it.
@@KhmerMinnesnowta descendant of Norodom the 1st? Was she the child of one of the lady-in-waiting to the king? That’s awesome! Do find more about your ancestral story! Sounds like an interesting story to read!! My great grand-aunt named Long, Thorn was the daughter of a feudal lord of the noble Long (dragon family) and was offered as a lady-in-waiting to the king in which she conceived two children with him. She was later arranged to marry a French cartographer named Henri auguste mari Duval and bore 5 children with him. Don’t mind be sounding interrogative because I cannot find one person on Earth whom I can relate to or share such a story with!
Safer than Mexico, South America, US and some European countries… more pickpockets in Paris, Rome etc…
Paris is scary.
I’ve been to Cambodia 10 times plus, never experienced any bad experiences. It’s safe to say it’s safe. Things happened just like anywhere in the world, you just needed to aware of your surrounding. Some people have no good intention towards Cambodia so they spread bad rumors which is not nice at all, neighbor countries also have good and bad experiences happen to people ,so to say one country is safer than others is a misjudgment or unfair. You have to come experience it for yourself.
Great advice there at the end :) good one you Kelly
As a Cambodian, I am grateful for your random interviews to witness the reality of Cambodia. Thats means a lot. Thank you
Thanks so much. That’s heartwarming 🥰
This video has reflected the true Cambodia 2024. Thanks, Chhai for this heart warming content.
Thank YOU for watching 😊🙏❤️
Your video is so helpful to the Cambodian people and thank for your support,Chai. Great job ❤
Thank you too! You’re nice :)
I was raise in America I’ll did encounter more violence’s than I thought in America . After visiting Cambodia years ago I was sceptic at first but over times as I wander mostly alone to shop , I’ll noticed in Cambodia has often the money stands for currency exchanges almost every corner of the streets so I’ll considering Cambodia it’s very quite safe city and town . Very pleasing surrounding environment . Just be careful about the road safety other than that Cambodia it’s a country filled of riches natural beauty and riches histories . Thank you Chai ! Enjoyed your time spend in Cambodia 🙏🇰🇭🌺🥰
Aw thanks. Hopefully you’re safe in the US 🙏
Nice Interview Chai, I think Cambodia 🇰🇭 ❤ is one of the easiest and safest place on earth for everything like easy residency easy business lovely people, I wish to go Cambodia 🇰🇭 in the year end.
Thanks you 🙏🏻🥹❤️
Nice one mate. It is very safe indeed :) hopefully you make it work 😍I’m sure you’ll love it!
@@Chai_Travel thanks Chai ❤ I will
Really
I had morẻ people try to scam me there, than a dozen countries I've been too.
thank you for sharing 🇰🇭 warm welcome to CAMBODIA
Cambodia is no different than other countries.
Thank you, Chai.🙏
Thank u for promoting cambodia, I've enjoyed all ur content while ur in cambodia, and also other countries, u have the knowledge to educate people to step out of there comfort zone and go to countries like cambodia and south East Asia, my God bless u many more❤
Thank you :) I’m happy to hear you appreciate the effort I put in 🙏😊 have a beautiful day and night
Cambodia is a safe and welcoming destination for tourists, with low violent crime rates, a stable political climate, friendly locals, well-developed tourist infrastructure, and a strong police presence in key areas. Visitors can enjoy their stay with confidence and peace of mind.
Thank you so much, Chai for this interview🙏🙏
Any time! :) I’m glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for your service 🫡
I hope your content is going to change many tourist mindsets that are thinking Cambodia is not safe ♥️🙏🇰🇭 Thanks from me 🙏
I hope so too 😊❤️ thanks for watching
As a Khmer raised American since infancy, it’s upsetting to see many Khmers so obsessed with foreigners visiting Cambodia. Is it fiscal-related? Remember home should be like a kingdom. That is Secluded and segregated like a peaceful man-made garden. The idea for people to come in is actually a new thing. It’s like looking at the Great Wall of China and seeing foreigners take pics on it when it was made to keep people like them out. 🤣🤣🤣

Thank a sir for this vdo!🙏❤️
I've been in Battambang Cambodia since 2014. Many trips to Phnom Penh. In Phnom Penh after 10 pm just go with a companion. Or better yet hire a tuk tuk driver for the whole evening, they will keep you safe. Ask at the Guest House you are at and they will help you to find the tuk tuk drive to meet your needs. Do not ever wave over a tuk tuk driver, always use Pass App. My only complaint, not a security risk but you will be over charged. 10 years in Battambang very few of my friends have had problems with theft. I would say Battambang is one of the safest cities ? in the world? I was raised in Japan so I know about the safest.
Hi hi! Thanks for sharing your view on this :) that’s some good advice there. Cheers :)
Battambang city's quá nhỏ bé không nhiều dịch vụ nhạy cảm massage tôi thích nhất là sai Gòn
Thanks Chai! 🙏
I Always try to give you a thumbs up, for such unique report. Thanks for the reminder at the end.
Much appreciated! 😊🙏
@@Chai_Travel well deserved 🤙👍
Hi we were in Cambodia (Siem reap , PP. Siha , Koh rong Sanloen) in December , it is safe ! We are suprised😂
It’s not a safe place. I’m not coming back again. I got snatched by a local there, luckily my passport and phone were in the other bag. I lost my AirPods and the necklace that my mom bought for me. The police did nothing to them. They kept speaking in their language.
Never again for this country.
Im sorry to hear about your experience. This should never have happened to you 🙏
For me I have never thought come to this country
Siam 😂..? Fake Account ❌
@@ngorntouch5202 What is Siam? And why would I be faking my account? Are you good old man.
@@Chai_Travel Thanks Chai! My mom bought me a new necklace n luckily she wasn't mad at me but more concerned about safety when I was there.
Excellent conversations my friend , everyone has a good understanding of traveling in Cambodia, common sense will always get you a long way , overall I believe south east Asia is safe
✔️👋👍🤩🙏
That’s totally right mate. Common knowledge/ sense is enough to give you a safe journey 😊 have the best time brother
Useful video, thank you 🙏
Glad it was helpful! 😊
You do wonderful thing ! Thank for you help my people
That's an impressive video . Thank you for sharing great information to the world .
Glad you enjoyed it! 🤗
🙏Thank you so much for sharing my country❤🥰🙏
It's my pleasure
Thank Chai!
Few minority case unsafe but we feel safe
I feel very safe too :)
❤ làm vợ anh nhé 😮
Will be back in Cambodia again soon. Super excited!
Be streetwise and keep the nose clean and generally there's no trouble to be found in most countries especially getting around daytime. Dude no 1 hit the nail on the head referring to South American countries. The majority of SE Asia seems pretty chilled. Nice video mate. 🤩
Eh Steven! Yes he did indeed. Robberies and groups of gangsters are hardly heard of over here :) next series in Myanmar coming up 😊 stay tuned! Thanks again mate
@@Chai_Travel I can't recall seeing any video work (on TH-cam) being done out of Myanmar by tourists since the Military took over in 2021. Stay safe there and do plenty of research too. I gather you are already there doing your thing and really cannot wait to be part of it. It is highly likely my fellow subbies would be rather excited too and hopefully a whole load of new viewers come the way of the channel as a result. All the best champ!! 🤩
Thanks for visiting my country ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
Keep your head on a swivel. Stay close to busy places. Nice reporting Chai!
Haha thanks mate 😃👋
Been living in Phnom Penh for almost 5 years. Besides bike helmets being stolen from my parked bike "twice", traveling to Koh Rong and Siem Reap "no issues" whatsoever. Awesome safety and security. Comparing it to South Africa so anything is better than the daily security there. Just my opinion no pun intended.
Cambodian people is innocent, how can they make any harm to you?
The same ones that enforced the killing fields? Super innocent. Pol pot wasn't hated by everyone there. That's for sure
@@philw.hudson9401 Yes, we pray for the elderly every day, some with mental health problems. The genocide wasn’t so long ago, they are still alive today.
There are bad and good people in every community. Are there no criminals in Cambodia?
@@MarxismLeninismMaoism criminal is everywhere just be careful
@@philw.hudson9401what about the bombs dropped everyday for years by the US? Millions died from that alone.
Your name is Chai, it sounds like Khmer men Name. Love you and respect for this video.
Never seen a Khmer with a Chai name! Chai is Tea from India dating back thousands of years ago! Or Chai Krub sounds Thai!
Thanks :) I’m glad you enjoy the content I make ❤️ don’t worry about some people in the comments who are trying to bring other people down 🙏 lots of love
South East Asia is one of the safest overall! due to our cultures... think we got a bad reps from the past due to the wars and instability in the regions.
Thanks you chai
Thank you for watching 😁
Chai man - great to see you still rambling around SE Asia ... I did 5 trips to Cambodia between around 1997 and 2002 ... When you actually used to hear gunfire at night in Phnom Penh ... Went up into the jungle with the tribal people ... Now I think it's a bit of a Chinese vassle state with casinos, etc. as you've illustrated in your other Cambodia videos ... Cheers from Sri Lanka - just spent 2 months here - amazing - do some videos from this place. Cheers, Steve @law_nomad ...
Ow yes sir haha 😊 still trying to make in on the platform 😜 loving it. Wow gunshots in PP 😨 luckily times has changed
I lived and worked on Phnom Penh for 10 yrs. On the whole i think its safe. But be careful what company you keep😮
I'm only afraid of other foreigners and expats when traveling in SEA ...😉
😋
Been in siem reap close to 2 yrs.no problems seems to be very good
I was there in 2019 , the one thing that stuck out to me was all the Toyota Prius on the roads there . Because of that maybe driving is the most dangerous activity there .
😅
If I have any place in Cambodia tourism ministry I would give CHAI a job absolutely love your content ❤
Aw haha that’s so nice of you 🤭 thank you ❤️
Yes definitely. Chai deserves a medal from our Tourism Ministry.
@@coreana.aesthetics sadly they don’t care they don’t know how this little thing help boosting tourism rather than spending thousands money on promoting it. If chai wanna stay in Cambodia longer I would really give him visa free or free ticket to any kind of place in Cambodia like ANGKOR WAT or museum
Good 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Phnom Penh is a very safe place.
Nice place especially PP n Siem reep.love it Cambodia ❤️
❤❤❤❤😮😮😮
Welcome to Cambodia 🙏 🇰🇭❤❤❤
Cambodia is safer than Thailand. It's also a better place than Thailand wc is overrated.
I wouldn’t say it’s saver or unsafer. Thailand is very safe like Cambodia and the other way around.
How is Thailand Overrated??? Thailand is Globally known for: Muay Thai, Thai Food, Thai Temples, Thai Massages, Tuk Tuks, Malls, Canal Boats, Night Markets, Songkran, Festivals, Beaches, LGBT Friendly, Thai Entertainment, Dramas etc., Internationally known K-pop idols, Christmas Decorations etc. lol!!! Thailand Has a North Central South!!! Overrated…check yourself
@@Chai_TravelI m a Cambodian but I agree with you :>
I believe that Cambodia is not safer than Thailand. I have visited both countries and can provide a comparison of my experiences. While Thailand was an incredible and unique experience for me, Cambodia felt more like visiting the rural areas of Vietnam or Thailand.
I visited both countries Cambodia is def the safer place no scams, and less crimes compare to Thailand wc is understanable as it has too many tourist. Scams and crimes are rampant. Camboia def lack of structures but rich in culture.
From local: just a heads-up if you travel to Cambodia, beware of snatching when you are walking along the road or in the Tuk-tuk, there are still cases happen to visitors and foreigners. While walking, do not show-off your phone and make sure you carry with firm and tight hand, using the backpack is recommended. Purse is not so safe. Also, if you are in the tuk-tuk, make sure you use phone in the safe mode with precaution as some thief just drive the motor and snatch your phone away. Pickpocket is rare.
Hope you all have a wonderful trip.
Come prepared and people have the best time in Cambodia 😍❤️ thanks for your comment 🙏
nice
Thank you
❤
❤️
Feel like I’m in India! Too many scammers there. Tuk Tuk driver tried to double charge me bruh
There is always the PassApp or Grab, and you can just arrange a price before you get in. In my experience you just need to negotiate
@@Chai_TravelNothing different from the Tuk Tuk drivers. All they want is my money.
Im going to cambodia on May 26 to meet my cousin, its ben 7 years since i went!!
That’s so nice! I’m excited for you 🥰
I lived in PP for 2 years. I had a few issues with motorcycle gangs trying to steal my Dr 250, but I out ran them. Other than that, I had more issues when I lived in BKK. I miss PP and it's people. I hope more people feel the same as I do.
Man, that’s a cool story! I hope no one got hurt
during my 6 years of living here:
1. my wife's phone was snatched (this is our fault. we gave papayas)
2. my 2 mountain bikes were stolen (parked in the frontyard, locked, tall gate, CCTV)
3. my motorcycle was stolen (parked in the frontyard, chained, tall gate, CCTV)
4. my neighbor's motorcycle was stolen (parked in the frontyard, tall gate, CCTV)
5. I caught a thief jumped the tall gate into my frontyard
6. I caught a thief trying to steal a purse from inside my house using broomstick
7. my daughter's phone was stolen (inside her backpack, carried with her)
8. 5 laptops were stolen from my office (3rd floor)
9. saw snatching attempt 2 times by motorbikes
10. my friends' phones were snatched (3 friends)
please tell me, is this better compared to Colombia? as I'm going to move there soon
So you're moving to Cambodia? I'd say the chances are a lot smaller here :)
@@Chai_Travel no, I'm currently living in Cambodia (already 6 years) and will leave soon to Colombia
Wow, a lot of things happened to you 😢 I hope you have better luck in the future
I live in Cambodia for 15 years...and Cambodia is safe, but in the Capital Phnom Penh just take care your phone a lot of thieves.
Love you
❤️ thank you
Please, safe travel in Myanmar!!
Thank you 😊 I will 🙏
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cambodia is the best sport right now 2024, Too many Korean/Japanese/Chinese/American and Canadian they bought the property and plan to live there for long term also Mexico and Brazil they are also start moving on too, As a Korean-Cambodian myself I feel Cambodia is better than Seoul TBH, Seoul is pretty much dying after COVID-19 hit and also after the stamped tragedy in Itaewon, Too many people are moving back home and never return.
❤❤❤❤❤
🙏❤️
Cambodia is very safe but like any country just be aware of your surroundings
The typical theft like snatches are common like everywhere in the world, but in term of violence its rare
"super safe" is maybe an exaggeration... I would say .... fairly safe. If you are distracted or too relaxed, be ready your mobile phone or wallet to disappear... But overall...yes it is safe.
Been living here in phnom penh for a while now and it's pretty safe especially in the main tourist areas.
But I would just be careful going out at night.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts champ 🏆🙏
Just not leaving your phone or pagback far from you and not go walking around mind night will be safe in here
The scariest is Camden in New Jersey of United States
Is that right?
@@Chai_Travel you can google and check it out . One of the most dangerous cities in America
I am going to cambodia in july I hope I have a safe experience 🙏🙏
Hello chai
Hi hi 👋
Your 1st guess for Hungry, Budapest was so awesome and honest and humorous !! Maybe those guys would have invited him to play the game on the street in the darkness of the middle of the night? Which could led to the best of friendships. That's how it is, as he said, it's the Buddhist culture !!! Even if you pay the priest, there's Still karma ! You Can't just buy your way out !!😊😅🥳😎 Seriously !
Love the part about, long time ! Glad you asked What that actually means !! Smart !!
2yrs ? Longtime ? Depends !
Great guy ! Both ! Worries about treatment of others is a wonderful Virtue ! IMHO.
Aw thanks mate haha I really like the way you comment😃 have a great day and night
So, how safe is USA? 😅 please explain!
I don’t know mate but Cambodia feels super safe :)
Commander, what are you doing? Ask him, what are you doing? Thank you for this video.
I’m Cambodian and I think Every country is safe 😊
Ummm i disagree cuz I had a bad experience while traveling in Phnom Penh. A local driver kept pestering me to get on his car saying he'd give me a discount. I agreed and went with two friends but no he didn’t take us to our destination and demanded we pay the full fare before he’d continue as agreed. We refused to pay the full amount and only paid half. The driver got really upset then kicked us off his car immediately…..It was the worst experience of my life. Who said local ppl there are innocent you never visit them.
Who are you disagreeing with?
@@Chai_Travel those who say it’s a Super duper safe country.
After 40yrs of Civil War As Cambodian/Khmer ppl, we keep fighting working hard to developing Cambodia 🇰🇭 . First all foreigners took of theirs flight at Thailand or Vietnam… I knew. Especially Thais who can’t accept The mother of Thai cultures was Khmer cultures, complaining Khmer never Stop. And I’m really appreciated for your visiting Traveling and all your foreigners for Cambodia❤❤❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💙💙💙💙😁😁😁💐💐💐
Thank you for your appreciation. I really hope we all stop focusing on where cultures and rituals come from and be friendly and nice to each other. I love Thailand and its people as much I love Cambodia 🙏
Danger are everywhere in the world. If you are scare don’t go. Cambodia just got a bad reputation. You don’t leave your phone anywhere including America
00:33 now that’s a handsome mf right there 😂 🤙
Haha 😜 I believe that’s you 😎
Very dangerous there, many scammers
I respectfully disagree
Can retire with one thousand dollars in siem reap cambodia simple life
Every where you go just respect and be careful with your stuff everything will be fine. my advice for you guys if you like place that less people Siem Reap, Kampot, Kep and Battambang is good for you but during festival Siem Reap will be crowd but you can still go out and enjoy some activities with local. This 4 place will be different from city life
welcome to Scambodia 😄😄
😳
Cambodja=safe
That's all folks!
Have a safe trip to Myanmar 🙏
That’s right ☮️
Thanks mate! 🙏 all good. Have a great Sunday
Cambodia more safe than the US
Very true. America is full of insane people. And I want out.
You comment is good, brother. To compare with the bank.
Unsafe .. 🙄 I could list hundreds of countries that are dangerous .. Cambodia isn’t one of them
Sihanoukville is now the most expensive province in Cambodia due to the Chinese settlement. Before the plannedemic you could rent an en -suite room for $6/10. Now $30/40 dollars.
Lmao...cat calling happens everywhere. Even in America 🙄🥴
Le Cambodge est plus sur que l'Amerique du Sud et certains endroits des U.S.A. il ne faut pas abuser 😅😂 MDR
M not say it 100% safe but if u can communicate with local ask them what to do and don’t u will b 100% safe. I hope u not listen to my west neighbor 😂
You’re western neighbors saying very nice things about Cambodia. Please don’t listen to the small group who talk bad 🙏
Your west neighbor was right. So many scammers in Cambodia. All people there just want our money. Bad experience….
Siem Reap is better. 👍🏽
🫶🇰🇭🙏
you dont know what cat calling is??!!
What's up? Are you good?
Cambodia just as safe as other SEA country, we just got a bad reputation.
True story. I hope this video will make more people aware of this 🙏
