5 years ago I visited my uncle and we didn't get to spend much time at his home in Phnom Sampov...a little village located just outside of Battambang City. This time however, I got a chance to spend a good bit of time with my uncle and really see what life is like for him 8 years after he was deported from the US.

It’s a good thing your uncle has a good head on his shoulders by growing fruit trees and building cottages and owning his own land. Unlike some of my so called friends that got deported. I’ve sent them a decent amount of money to help them. But instead they lied to me and I kept sending them money until my cousin who lives in Khmer sent me pictures of these guys drinking and going to the strip joint having the time of their lives with my hard earned cash. After I found out and confronted them, the only excuse they said to me was that they only live once and they should enjoy it. So I told them to enjoy it but without any help from me.
My uncle told me a story about one of his friends he tried to help and they did the exact same thing to him...truth is alot of deportees are degenerates. My uncle was smart and made a better life for himself.
@@saviyoua lot are def from that gang life
I mean….. would you really trust convicted criminals? No matter how small the crime. A lot of Khmer that get deported just continue their old ways. Savi’s uncle at least had some good family help with the land and farming. It’s certainly not easy to just get sent to cambo without really any way back to America.
Savi ask your uncle if he ever lived in Bowling green Ky?
@@tainanking I blamed myself for trusting these guys because I too have served time in prison when I was young. But I was accused of sexual battery by a white woman, who I thought was my best friend. I’ve known her for 14 years. She asked me to loan her $560.00 for her phone bill, and that she would pay me in two months after she gets paid. Two months turns into 3 years. I asked her for the money again she told me to come back tomorrow to get the money. I agreed and drove home, when I got home the police officials everywhere surrounded my residence. I walked in and was placed under arrest. She accused me of sexually abusing her. I was sentenced to three years in prison, but was released after one and half year. Since I was naturalized I wasn’t deported. I waited seven years to expunge my records and enlisted in the army. After serving 12 years I was discharged with honorable service. I received my degree in Electronic Engineering and started several businesses. I tried to help these guys because I grew up in the same neighborhood. But I learned that some people can’t be trusted and help.
He's living a better life there than us here in the USA. He's FREE from the system.
I'm happy to see this life in the day. Wishing you and your uncle all the best brother.
I love Cambodian food, I grew up here in California with Cambodian people all my life. I’m Laotian but can understand Khmer. Love this vlog. I would love to visit Laos and Cambodia one day. Never been back there since I came to the US when I was 1 years old I’m 46 now. Keep them coming Savi. Love your channel brother 👍 God Bless your uncle
You're the same as me, you should try to visit before it changes too much. I already see how much different Vietnam and Thailand are than Cambodia!
Be careful when visiting Laos. There was Cambodian-canadian who visited Laos and was chopped into pieces at the airport a few years ago.
You should come back man, I was just up in Savannakhet last year, very cool place and lovely people. peace from Thailand.
@@chengxiong3821what was the motive behind it?
@antman8498, a lot of Khmer folks up north have Laotian ancestry. Heck even the light skin folks in the city, the ones that always try claim Chinese ancestry, some are Laotian-Khmer.
Brother, this is paradise to me. Living of the land and being and being one with nature. As an Asian living overseas i would love to be able to return to the motherland
The green sour fruits in your uncles backyard are called June plum. I am from Palau and our women like to eat the fruit with salt mix when it's still green. We use the leaves to make fish, chicken or pork soup. And we also use the fruits, in its ripe stage, to make drinks.
Its nice to see an ex American having such a blessing life, sometimes life pushes us to be where we need to be.
Citizens can't be deported; residents will only be deported when they committed crimes. Yes, criminals with lengthy records.
Realistically speaking, people like them will never be treated as real Americans
Hello brother. Thank you for sharing your experience. I just came back from visiting Cambodia and my wife and I were staying in Phnom Penh with my uncle who was also recently deported. It was great seeing him doing well and that your uncle is also doing well.👍🏼
My uncle was in the same situation but after his sentence 10 years he still got deported. Hes now in Phnom Penh and he’s an English teacher and living better then when he was in the states.
10 years sentenced for what? are you serious right now saying cambodians who got deported are bad people?
@@leepialong who said who ever got deported is bad people? I didn’t say that.
Reread my comment before you assume anything. All up in my mix. People like u causes problems in society. That’s the problem with people now a days.
@@MustBeNice-ox3gr your uncle got sentenced for 10 years. why did he do?
@@leepialong obviously something he shouldn’t have done just like everyone else that got deported but the whole thing was I never said everyone that get deported is bad people. I have a lot of friends that got deport back to Cambodia. Some is as little as being at the wrong place wrong time. You’re the one that thinks they’re bad people.
Wow your uncle has a beautiful home and beautiful life. He is thriving.
I stumbled into your channel when you were telling about a story of your uncle being deported because of something wrong he did. It's been years since the last time I watched your videos.... and now, here I am back.... and nice to learn how your uncle progressed over the years. I love the scenic views of your homeland!
Sok Sabai, Brother. Watching from Los Angeles.
1st video of yours I watched, popped my cherry so to speak, LOL.
Great content, Thank you for sharing. Im glad your Uncle got to see you again and spend time with you. I love his Farm and beautiful Family and how he's self-sustaining. I pray his rental business is successful.
I have a close Khmer Homie who got Deported back. I know its a small community of Deportees and most of them know each other. He works in the Cambodian Movie Industry.
Thanks again for sharing, achtung. GOD BLESS🙏
Hey, thank you for sharing! Even though your uncle lost American status, it doesn’t mean that he loses his pride. He lives with most Cambrians dream of. So I’m proud of your uncle who can build his life much better than in the U.S. Good job uncle!!
Not a bad life. Very natural & healthy living. I would be interested in renting one of the bungalows next year.
don't worry when it's finish I will make a video about it
Your uncle's son is def learning and loving the bond time with his dad :)
This is cool brother, thanks for sharing
It is good to see that you are more productive when you're back your home country. Please continue to be productive and make life beautiful for your subscribers and viewers to watch.
Awesome content m bro👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾
As a Cambodian American born and raised in the US. This looks like an amazing lifestyle to live. I have never been to Cambodia, planning to move there within 10 years or so and retired early. Thank you for sharing this video.
You are in for a surprise, you American.
Interesting story of your uncle brother. Thank you for sharing brother.
Brother, glad to see your video, and you can do it. I wish you lots of luck
It’s so cool to see this video. I miss my brother he didn’t do well and I am so happy to this.
It is called June plum! I love eating them with fish sauce, chili peppers and sugar. I miss Cambodia so much.
Savi, I enjoy watching your new kind of content. I get to see another aspect of Cambodia. Usually I see you sampling and commenting on other ethnic group's foods. You seem to be attractive to the East Asian culture.
The place is picturesque especially there's like a mountain table top...the whole village is so nice.. ❤
Love the content.
Wow the life of the deportees in Cambodia are better than my life in America. Perhaps I and my wife should consider moving to Cambodia too.
not always the case with deportees...he just did the right thing and made a better life for himself
Savi, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii. You are make a deadly mistake with that hammock. What I found helps a great deal is to add a couple of blankets on the hammock, then lay on top of that layer then you do not get bitten up by mosquitos...
My hometown. Thanks for this video.
Very interesting story from your uncle. Glad he's doing well back to his country. Watch the whole entire video. Thanks for sharing my dearest friend 😅
His house looks so cozy. The wildlife and beautiful land seems to be relaxing.
Love the farm place!
Nice content should make more like this please
Wow your uncle has quite the set up and a beautiful property,o think I could get used to this lifestyle quite easily
With the land and cottages you can easily do an ecotourism thing. In addition, you can add spa services. I've experienced this in Colombia. Provide meals and classes on relaxation, health, and nutrition.
Always love TH-cam that have contents associated with any activities in Battambang because I myself came from Battambang . Keep doings a good job Savi You .
i envy my man… from oaktown to cambodia! lol… thanks for sharing
Thank brother you are the best
Life in SE Asia is awesome, just make sure you have some money and you know a few powerful people.
I’ve seen a lot of Thailand and Laos landscape and not much of Cambodia. The country looks beautiful with all the green landscape and the evening rain. BTW @ 8:57 those are June plums.
This dude is living better than a lot of people.
My mate from school was born there in the year before year zero. I have known him since 1983.. A beautiful family, that treated my like their own son!
I think The big pond can be used for paddle boats. Maybe give half off or 1 free dish if they can catch their own fish(?)
I was a public defender before. As defense attorney, we never force our clients to do anything. Sometimes the prosecutors made offers, and the offers could be to reveal the identity of the drug bosses, etc for lesser times.
I know your uncle he a real cool dude, love your channel
Thank you for sharing this video. It’s very common that this happens and it’s unfortunate. I’m glad that your uncle is positive and staying strong for his family
Your uncle is a very humble person 👍🏽
Not when he was in USA .
I’m glad your uncle is doing okay.
From the look of his house he is living a good life that is beyond okay lol
I always find Buddhist countries or countries with some Buddhist influence (some East Asian countries) to be quite peaceful. It makes me interested in the faith and I’ve slowly been trying to learn the Buddhist teachings and read some of the translated scripts on my free time.
Nice video bro 👊🏽 I was born in Battambang and thinking of going back to live there part-time eventually. I’m hoping sometime late next year. I’m thinking of doing the same thing as you lol let me know how it goes and I hope it’s not too pricy. I’m currently in Long Beach.
I'm researching price now...land is almost as expensive as in the US but you can still build a home for cheap. I just don't know if the same quality as in the US.
@@saviyou I was told you have to be Khmer citizen to buy property. I was born in a refugee camp so I don't know if I qualified as a Cambodian citizen. I plan on visiting Cambodia next month with my family. Will be my first time. We plan on making a stop to visit Battambang for a few days. I'm very excited to visit my parents mother land.
@@sunbutma4285 yes you must be Khmer citizen. If your parents were born here you can become a citizen by birth-rite. You can watch my other video to learn more about that.
This is the life style my husband would enjoy. I bet your uncle is happy and wouldn't want to come back to the US.
Now your uncle don't have to lock his doors and carry a gun.
Interesting content
Beautiful place
Love your video of Cambodia bro
Thanks for watching!
Looks like your uncle has a better life in Cambodia than if he stays in the US.
Had two cousins whom got deported...one back in 2003 and one in 2017... They're (Leal)Lao Khmer...one in Phnom Penh and one might be near Battambang area in a village..
So the Makak plant apparently is known as June Plum.
I think it’s wonderful to live in a place like this, nearly got everything to to survive except growing rice, quite and fresh air.
Does your uncle have a youtube channel of his journey? He should!
11:15 PM currently in Dimapur, Nagaland, India. Keep the videos coming! I'm loyal to your content. 😁
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice house. Glad you and the family are well. I write to you from Laos, we are neighbors
I plan to visit Laos next time!
I think the makok is called june plum.
Thw is tropical..in Jamaica l believe it is called jum plum..in my country Guyana South America it is call golden apple, it has a prickly seed
Nice to see you visit Cambodia in you family but you people Fram land place very good and nice house nice place but I'm loves it
man seeing those lotus flower with all them holes makes my skin crawl
You uncle lives a few minutes from my Uncle's place. Great video!
Very cool!
Aye…… wassup Pu Chea… 💯💯💯
I have alway wondered how the Khmer deportees fair. Thank you for this vlog.
Respect to uncle 🫡
I’m sure it’s not easy as a deportee, but he found life! 🙏🏽
My wish and plan is to visit Cambodia in the near future
Bong .. I visited that same area and it amazing and sad history..
Phnom Sampov and the areas surrounding Battambang has a lot of interesting history during Khmer Rouge times.
Thanks Savi🙏 I see my cousin’s hair is all white now. បងញ៉ាញ់ the man with the dreads
We visited him! He will be in my next video 😉
"Makak" is called June plum, in Spanish, ciruela de junio or simply Spanish plum. It seems your uncle never left.
Hello savi from USA 🇺🇸
Hey did you uncle used to work at Oaks club?
I really enjoyed and interested in your uncle life as a deported from the U.S, but having a hard time listening to story from all the background noise. Thank you for sharing! 👍😁
Yea sorry not ideal environment but we were chillin and drinking
Hi! your uncle has a nice home!!! Thanks for sharing your story!!!
Just be happy and appreciate what you have before life make you regret what you had.
Have you heard of the Tiny Toones in Cambodia? The hip hop program for kids started by a deportee?
(8:25) June plum
This is my dream life, with nature ❤
The makak in English called june plum
The fruit is called June plums i believe
Is the puffer fish from freshwater or salt water or brackish?
Those are called June Plums I think
😍😍😍😍☺☺☺I used to eat Ontongs, eels when I was younger in Cambodia.
I think the friut is called a June Plum fruit
Your uncle live very close to my mom’s house. She live about a block away from in front of the bat cave.
Ple ma-kak is June plume. He owns a big piece of land
yes very nice i plan to build a house here :)
The fruit called June plum
We used to be in Phnom Sampov twice in last June to see the bats streaming out of the cave.
Did you go to see the killing cave?
@@saviyou Never brother
Welcome home.
Seriously, it looks beautiful there. No excessive cars and roads, pollution and lesser ppl. Im sure life is good there because you have good fresh food and lower expenses. Yur uncle will live over 100. Ppl in the west are now struggling wuth higher expenses, unemployment and housing rents
I bet a lot of foreign tourists would love to experience village life, catch fish, eating lotus, just seeing the rice fields…
His uncle is one of the lucky ones. A lot of khmericans can’t speak Khmer and are def not willing to live a rural life if they even get the chance his uncle got. Most get left in Cambodia with nothing. Not even relatives they know.
yes next time I want to meet some of the ones that weren't so lucky
@@saviyou- I wonder if you are going to Interview former members of the TRG and Abz.
In US they call June plum
This much better than living in us, for real
June plum is what the sour fruit is called
It is call golden apple guus i know how it feels i had the same happen to me in 2015
the fruit is called june plum
