Cambodia is like a new kid in the block but it has come a long way. I left the city way back in 1979 after surviving the genocide there. The city was like a ghost town and the country was in total ruins and the families were separated and torn apart. Most of my family members did not survive. It was seemed like yesterday. The civil war was officially ended in 1998 and the started to rebuild the country in the 2000s. Peace out from a genocide survivor under Khmer Rouge!
I'm sorry for you and your family. I visited Siem Reap once, and willing to go back to cambodia again
@@neminan Please make your visit again as Cambodia has changed so much for the last few years especially in Siem Reap Town. They really need more tourist to support them since the pandemic. Thanks for your time. Peace!
I’m sorry to hear that.
The claims of less developed countries
Both China and US are at fault for the Cambodia genocide . China gave all the weapons to the Khmer Rouge and US secretly bombed Cambodia which cause the rise of the Khmer Rouge
Keep up the good work man !
Looking forward to see Vietnam and Cambodia soon
Cheers benedikt. Thanks for the reply. I hope you enjoyed the video. I certainly will keep up the work. Just had a little break after 4 months of south east Asia. I will be back there soon though
same
Vietnam and Thailand are worth to visit. Both countries have different taste of food and different culture, if you seek for variety in SEA, these two are really good choice.
I agree, hope you enjoyed the video. New content starting again in the next week
Cambodia all the way! See it! I’ve seen all 3
Hi Ben. I have watched quite a few of your downloads since you started them a few weeks after you told us about your plans in Chequers, Bangkok. Your vlogs were good right from the start but I have to say your presentation skills are right up there now, not that they were bad at the start but your confidence now shines through mate and makes them really enjoyable. Wish you all the best in your next venture which I will watch. Glad to see that my adopted home country came out on top! Look us up when you one day come back to Thailand because although you have left this amazing country it never leaves you and will pull you back one day! In the words of Public Image LTD “may the road rise with you”!!
Cheers Colin. Thanks for the kinds words. Yeah the travel vlog is coming along nicely. It is amazing how much you miss Bangkok until you leave. I hope to be back there towards to end of this year. I will let you know 👍
Cambodia is so underrated! People should come to visit this country, explore all the places islands and temples and taste its food. You won’t disappoint.
Thailand have everything many options it depend on what you choose to go. It’s worth to come to Thailand.
Yeah I like Thailand very much. Hope you enjoyed the video 👍
I will never visit Thailand, but I would love to visit cambodia.
@@ipman9165Just because you are Cambodian you don’t have to talk like this don’t be narrowed mind and I saw your other comments that talk bad about Thailand too but you never visit Thailand…🙄
Cambodians are so genuine and kind and authentic. Very safe country. Super underrated
@@HotelSnob Underrated because of many people were scammed
I like how you just talk about your thoughts ❤ really cool and honest
Thanks hotel snob, or hotel goddess? Im confused.. 😂
@@lessworkmoretravel take your pick
@@HotelSnob Hotel Goddess it is
@@lessworkmoretravel 🙏🏽😂
Wish you best success for the Chanel. Thanks for videos
No problem. Thanks for watching them 👍
Thanks Ben!
No problem 👍
Interesting idea for a vlog. I have been to two of these countries and find this a difficult case to make between the two. I will be in Vietnam soon and might have a better idea how to answer this. Also, I feel you on the learning curve. Glad to see you growing. We appreciate you sharing your travels and are happy for all your great support on our channel.
Cheers guys. Thanks for the kind words. Yeah that first month of travel vlogging I will not forget for a while. 12 hour days 30 in a row. Learnt a lot. Yeah let me know your thoughts..wish you all the best on your channel ✌️👍
@@lessworkmoretravel The learning curve is rough but I think worth it. We are finally growing and starting to get noticed. Just put out our 50th video on Sunday.
thanks for your sharing
No problem 👍
Great video. I used to go to school in Bangkok, but sadly the serious dating scene sucks there. I am moving to Cambodia for work and I would also love to work in Vietnam and see which country has the best serious dating scene. The dating scene was amazing in the Philippines when I lived there, but no jobs for foreigners. :(
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Back to Thailand in Feb for loads more videos. India 🇮🇳 in January. Can’t wait.
I like your vdo as you pointed out the differences of positivity of each country. Im Thai but i do agree on the cost of traveling in Vietnam, wanna go there again. And also the pub street in Cambodia looks interesting.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video 👍
i want to go to Vietnam and Thailand but im trying to see if i can see a bit of both if possible, want to do south Thailand krabi etc
Both are amazing tbh. I am in krabi in a couple of months. Easy getting between both. Go for it 👍
In 2023, Thailand is still be the big brother of Southeast Asia. Comment from Vietnam.
Yes I agree 👍
Thx.I love Vietnam from thailand,Vietnam is very beautiful country and culture ❤❤
@@merrickjohn5012 thanks merrick, hope you enjoyed the video. I love both Thailand and Vietnam very much
Anh cả 😂 về cái gì 😅
I enjoy your video! And hope you’ll visit our country again and enjoy it! 😊
From Thailand. 🇹🇭
Thank you, yes hopefully back to Thailand in February. Why are you holding a Doughnut?
I’m glad to know that. 😊
Hahaa. Nothing really. It’s just my favorite dunuts ever! KrispyKream 😊
Different strokes for different folks. For me it was Vietnam. The people.
Yes of course. Hard to go wrong with anywhere in South East Asia 🌎
The real land of smiles 🇻🇳
@@nofood1 what you mean? Other countries are fake in their smile?
Food safety and pedestrian safety need to improve a lot because people have complained the most about these two areas when they visited Vietnam.
Sure, I agree. Hope you enjoyed the video
You give "it" Thailand or Vietnam. What about relatively quiet Cambodia???
Thank you I love Thailand but im open to other countries
Same here!!! Hope you enjoyed the video
Which country has the best food, public transportation, and lowest electricity prices?
Thailand best public transport and food imo. Not sure about electric. I imagine Cambodia/Vietnam the cheapest.
Views/sites : Vietnam
People : Thailand
Foods : Thailand
Language : Vietnam
Nature : Vietnam
Price : Thailand
Yeah I pretty much agree with that. I hope you enjoyed the video 👍
Yes i visited 🇹🇭 i ❤️it its good life but i never visited 🇰🇭or🇻🇳 so i cant compare, i hope i can go back to the great south east asia and check it out and make a video about it someday probably i visited laos too.
Cambodia and Vietnam are both great. Enjoy
Happy ending? 😅😅😅
@@ipman9165 hope so for a new rebirth in the present life and in the next life without any kind of pressure. 🙏🏻❤️🇹🇭🇻🇳🇰🇭
Hi Ben! Good luck with the channel been watching quite a few of your hanoi videos..can you do a video of how you started it all off and why? Love to get your views on how you managed to set it up and the pros and I'd love to know your background and what made you want to set this up and travel. :) good luck again!
Cheers Steven, these are just the questions I was after. I am wanting to do a q and a video (once I have a load of good questions). I will answer these questions in an uploaded video some point soon 👍
Cambodia is emerging and sits in the middle. You missed all these beautiful islands of Cambodia as well.
Yeah I was only in Cambodia for 10 days. A lot of Cambodian love in the chat ❤️
@@lessworkmoretravel I went to cambodia for my first time and after hearing all these rumors of it being a terrible place is simply not true from my experience. I loved it so much am planning on moving there permanently soon. Greetings from the US 🇺🇸❤
That’s sounds a brilliant idea to me. Let me know how to move goes. South East Asia is just so so good 👍
Any plans to visit the Philippines?
No plans yet but when/if I travel back to south east Asia at the end of this year I will be sure to go there 👍
Thailand and Cambodia are both culturally indigenous to SE. Asia, while Vietnam is culturally East Asian in nature. You are comparing Apples with oranges.
Useful for other travellers to know the difference if they don’t know which countries to travel to. Hope you enjoyed the video.
Vietnam has more of a Chinese influence.
@@zinknot "Influence" is not the correct word because, Vietnamese actually directly descended from the Han Chinese ethnic group. You can't be influenced by Chinese when you're originally Chinese to begin with.
It's like saying White Americans are influenced by Europeans. How odd.
@@hunterl4328 Thais are a ethnic minority group from Yunnan, China migrated down to Southeast Asia. Khmers are from southern China, possibly Yunnan, or from Northeast India. Both Thailand and Cambodia culture are influenced from India also known as Indosphere. Vietnam is Sinosphere. Vietnamese have never been a descent of Han Chinese. Vietnamese ain’t Han Chinese.
What do you mean? The first generation of Vietnamese Kinh in Vietnam came from the waves and waves of immigrants starting from the Han dynasty and sort of ending with the Tang dynasty.
Vietnamese kinh originally spoke Annamese Chinese, which only Han people spoke. The original spoken Annamese is still 75% preserved in Vietnamese spoken language. Vietnamese also originally wrote in Han, and still have 100% of the original language preserved in moder Vietnamese written language.
All of the emperors of Vietnam were Han. Even the last dynasty of vietnam, the Nguyen dynasty, referred to themselves as descendants of Han.
Personally I like the food best in Cambodia
All South East Asian food is amazing. I was in India a couple of months ago and that is even better
@@lessworkmoretravel did you see any beaches there?
Certainly did. Palolem beach was maybe the best beach I have ever been to
@@lessworkmoretravel nice!!!
" better " for whom ? - - - Old frugal retired people likely will prefer Cambodia by a mile ! I know cause I am one of those. -- Visa friendly and no comparison. -- You discovered Siem Reap & it's my retirement destination. It's cheap and wonderful. -- Visas in Thailand and Vietnam for long term stays are ridiculous !
thailand are best place to be there i'm thai person
i try at vietnam but it a mess i think thai is a lot better and cambodian dont like thai
Yea I like Thailand a lot. Hopefully be back there on the 1st of January
@festivegurock2167 watch a documentary called "Ghost mountains" it's like the khmer Rouge genocide part 2. Thai people are EVIL! I now understand why my people have beef with them lady boi.
Agreed. Thailand is better.
Hope you enjoyed the video 👍
I would visit cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Myanmar, but will never step foot in an EVIL country called "Thailand".
🇰🇭🙌🏽💪🏽
Hope you enjoyed the video!!
I was born and raised in Thailand, here are my own view: 0) Thailand has passed the best periods for years and she is now older and not puppy bright like the past, some nature is even more polluted or famous places full of too living PPL, still great foods but it is getting me more Triglycerides & Cholesterol at too young age of 3x years old. 1) Cambodia, many PPL I found and know for years are kind, with no racism, no hate. Their country has passed so many difficulties like two other countries in a peninsular but full of ancient history, some exotic East foods are still in my mind. 3) Vietnam is like a teenage lady who steps onto the global stage after resurrecting from a destroyed-ruined family, stillNaturalPure places with sympathetic remarkable PPL like no bad pasts, great colonial architectures throughout the country, creative & innovative French aspect decay fusioned with exotic East foods not too heavily...Happy!!!
Thank you very much mundee for your detailed answer. I do like both Thailand and Vietnam. I understand that Cambodia has a long way to go but is on a good path to being a great country for tourist. I hope you enjoyed my video…..and yes the food in Thailand is amazing.
I am Thai, but I disagree

Well, first you don’t compare the country that just got back on their feet from the year zero due to the war like Cambodia to Thailand, of course every answers it will be Thailand and that doesn’t do any justice for Cambodia at all. If you wants to do, why don’t you compare Thailand to Philippine, USA, Brazil, Hong Kong, or Europe. That will be a fear trial.
Thanks for comment. I enjoyed Cambodia, thought it is great. It is a video for travellers, just giving my opinion. Hope you enjoyed the video 👍
Even before war Cambodia never be the same level of Siam(Thailand). Also fell under Siam authority for a long time.
I have been to all 3 places that you have mentioned... Pretty much I agree on your views...... Well ,if you head over to South Est Asia again...the next time round..... Try Malaysia & Singapore.....It will be another level....
Thanks 🙏. I will hopefully visit them places one day.
Cambodia 🇰🇭
Welcome to come Cambodia
I enjoyed Siem Reap a lot 🙏. Hope you enjoyed the video
the poorer country, the more you live as superior person.
easy like that...
You can have a better life in these countries compared to the west
Thailand has way to many tourists, its lost its appeal. It’s funny to see people traveling that far then just hanging out with other travelers partying. I hope Vietnam never becomes like Thailand, so does most of its citizens. I have lived in Thailand 22 years, yes it certainly a good place but it’s mass tourism has ruined it
Thanks for the input, hope you enjoyed the video 👍
Thailand is off the map for me. I WILL NEVER STEP FOOT IN THAILAND!
My city is Pathumthani, next to Bangkok, and I rarely see foreigners here. Next province from Pathumthani is Nakornnayok that have many waterfalls, resorts and national park..and I never see foreigners tourist here, only the local. Last time I went to nice beach in Sattaheep Chonburi… also no foreigners tourists, only the local even it’s in the same Chonburi province as Pattaya. My point is there are still many place in Thailand that have no tourists.
You didn’t cook for 4 months hahahaha
I know crazy right......back to cooking 3 times a day now though. Hope you enjoyed the video. India Vlogs coming up in January

🤔 your talking vacation.......a 'holiday' as you Brits call them (?) -- Personally - I would look for a retirement destination a I am old. -- Visa 'requirements' costs and long term stays complicate both Thailand & Vietnam !!! Also both have a language barrier. Cambodia on the other hand has a cheap legendary retirement visa over 55 with no requirements at all !!!!! -- And -- the Khmer people speak English !!! + They are infinitely more friendly. No 'visa runs' to screw with & that saves you $ as well. - 🙏 - All considered -- I would select Siem Reap as my long term retirement destination - and simply visit the other 2. -- SR has cheap 1 hour flights to Bangkok !?! -- Cambodia even accepts my USD !!! -- International food is plentiful in SR - street food is cheap and they even have 50 cent beer !!! > PUB STREET is really cool & offers 'enough' for an old fart like me. --- Old people have a different perspective - eh ? --- Many expats live there comfortable enough for as little as $800/mo. -- $1500 gets you some real swanky & some travel !!!
Some really good information here, thanks for your detailed comments. Yes I have heard a lot of people say Cambodia is great for retirement due to the visa. Visa runs can be very annoying and costly. Pub street is fine but there are a lot better ones in south east Asia. I enjoyed Siem reap very much. The tuk tuk drivers are relentless in Cambodia though I found, actually gave me a headache
@@lessworkmoretravel You will see it a bit different when your in your 70's - than you do now. I know because I've been your age also. You have yet to experience 70+ ??? Enjoy wherever & whenever you are at !!!
Go get a girl in the Philippines and bring her to Thailand or Vietnam.
👍
They only like white old soggy men. 😅😅😅😅
@@ipman9165 Says Mr anonymous
I wouldn't want to be in Thailand or Vietnam. Too much heat and humidity AND too many large cities. Too congested, too much air pollution, noise, crowding. It's Cambodia by a process of elimination.....
Just don’t like a few things about Cambodia, more scams, poverty is worse, tuk tuk drivers give me headache. USD dollar makes country more expensive than Thailand and Vietnam which is strange. Beaches not as nice. Food nowhere near as good either.
Cambodia 🇰🇭 👍
Loved Siem reap I must admit ❤️
I dont think it makes sense to compare Cambodia to Thailand. Even before Cambodia fell into deep sh*t, Thailand already colonized Cambodia hundreds of years. Ie Rattanakosin era. Thailand has already been ahead of Cambodia since 17th century. Thus of course, most answers would be Thailand over Cambodia.
Thanks for you reply. Hope you enjoyed the video
Thailand has never been Cambodian colony Where do you get your information, don't be fooled.
Cambodia was a colony of Thailand for 500 years.
Cambodia is just a country. The Khmer people are just slave labor. tamil india era Came to spread civilization Angkor Wat was built by Tamil Indians. The Khmer were not the creators. It's just slave labor that was forced to build it.
@@TechNoIndy Read comment again
Thailand influenced from Khmer(Cambodia) Thai use Khmer script but in Cambodia they don’t use Thai script, this is call Thai colony?
Cambodia and Thailand are different country why can’t compare? Toxic day by day Thai Eat Marijuana a lot ,
Vietnam is better. more open people, cheaper prices, less scams.
Love Vietnam. Miss it so much
Vietnamese are the worst people in SEA imo, for sure the least friendly people. Vietnamese are not smiley, welcoming people they are more like the Chinese. When it comes to people Thailand and Cambodia wins by a mile.
Fun fact Thailand is the only one country in SE that never been colonized by the Western while Cambodia belong to Siam (Thailand)more than 400 years.
Thanks burger. Hope you enjoyed the video 👍
โคตรเบื่อเรื่องนี้เลย เดี๋ยวก็เถียงกันไปเถียงกันมา ไทยไม่เป็นเมืองขึ้น แต่ก็ถูกใช้เป็นฐานทัพ ทางผ่านให้ประเทศอื่น จริงอยู่มันก็ดีกว่าเป็นเมืองขึ้น เขมรเคยเป็นของอยุธยา แต่ก่อนจะมีอนาจักรสุโขทัย แผ่นดินไทยเกือบทั้งหมดก็เป็นของอานาจักรเขมร แต่คนไทยไม่ยอมรับหรอก แล้วแต่จะนับกันตอนไหน

All you have to do is search khmer Empire, and you'll see there was never thailand. This person is spreading false facts!
You will be disappointed when you travel to Eastern Europe. The food is not good and nothing interesting to see.
I have just been there, not as good as south east Asia that’s for sure. There is plenty of interesting things to see though. Hope you enjoyed the video 👍
As Korean,.
the best is Thailand
2nd best is Cambodia
worst is vietnam
Interesting. I like all of them. Filming starts there again in a couple of months. Can’t wait.
As a cambodian, North Korea is better then south Korea 😅😅
Why is Vietnam worse?
Support Cambodia bc I’m Khmer no support for Thailand
Ok everyone has been own opinion. Hope you enjoyed the video
Man has nothing to say about Cambodia. Remove Cambodia in the video title blud
Whats up blud, i will be leaving the title as it is. Hope you enjoyed the video
Even Vietnamese and Cambodian people will admit that Thai food is better. :-)
Yeah Thai food is great. There tmrw. Hope you enjoyed the video 👍
I'm cambodian, and you do not speak for all cambodian people. I prefer cambodian cuisine over Thai food any day! Cambodian cuisine is the oldest among all South East asian countries. I love cambodian food and its culture.
Racism=Thailand, don't want to go to a country where you are wondering if you get barred from venues. Never felt that in Vietnam, they were really friendly on Saigon. Cambodia, highest crime rate and not developed enough for tourism, found it dirty and not safe at night. Night life, gets old real fast. If you are into paying western prices then go for Bangkok.
Hi Ron, hope you enjoyed the video. I personally found the Thais to be really friendly. I agree Cambodia isn’t quite developed for tourism just yet, it is getting there though. You can still make Bangkok very cheap if you are away from the centre although alcohol prices can get expensive in Bangkok.
@@lessworkmoretravel That's because your white, and to Thai's, white is seen as upper class, just look at all the skin whitening products in Thailand.
I don't see any Thai people being racist if the word "racist" refers to how Thais respond to Cambodian actions, for example in order to promote Cambodia. Cambodians turned to wearing Thai national costumes. And come out and do everything like Thailand, use Thai food, use Thai things to promote Cambodia, attack Thailand, mock Thailand, claim Muay Thai, claim Thai culture and also say that Thailand is a thief , WTF. Thai people not cursing back would be very strange. If it were you, you would probably curse back as well. When Thai people respond to bad action from Cambodia. You guys are accusing Thailand of trampling on ethnicity. WTF, what a shameful act by Cambodia or Laos? (Lao guy has already apologized to Thailand) That means you really don't know any Thai people. We don't mess with anyone. If they don't come and accuse Thailand first. Funny about the word racism.
Thai government paid you for make this vdo?
Nope, not a penny 😢
The three countries are totally different so this comparison was a bit interesting 🤔
A lot of people travel to all of them, if people are not sure what to choose then this video might help 👍
The best country for you will depend on your individual interests and budget. If you are looking for a country with a wide variety of activities and attractions, Thailand is a good choice.
Of course, it is all subjective. I also believe Thailand to be the best choice. Hoping to be back there towards to end of the year for some more vlogs 👍
Definitely Thailand wins on having more options for activities and services. But Cambodia is my favorite, it has it's own charm despite the poverty. Their is a strong effort to get the kids a good education, I think there is a bright future.
Only been to Cambodia... but my guess would be
Culture : Cambodia, Thailand (Vietnam doesn't have anything)
Party : Thailand, Vietnam (Cambodian aren't much into debauchery)
Food : Thailand, Vietnam
People : Cambodia, Thailand
Lodging, city vibe : Vietnam, Thailand (just way more modern, and Cambodia is just a total mess)
1st by far Thailand; 2nd Vietnam 3rd Cambodia.
Yea I would agree with most of that. People wise though I actually think it might be Vietnamese. So friendly. Hope you enjoyed the video 👍
