I have been in Cambodia for 17 years now. Have loved the country, didn't like the COVID period, but the rest has been fine. So many wonderful places to visit. I taught here for 17 years and have been Principal, Director, Education Director, and teacher from K through high school, as well as teaching at University as well. It's been a great 17 years!
We're glad you decided to stay in Cambodia and share your knowledge and life's experiences with Cambodians. We all are longing to learn and expand our mind.
Yes, I watch it all excellent discussion - thanks. I have spent a lot of time in Cambodia it's a fun place to be. The Cambodias I knew had a wonderful dry sense of humour. Infact, it can be a real crazy, wild, hilarious, fun place to be.
Really enjoyed this interview. I will be returning next week can't wait to get back I have really missed it. I like the saying the Cambodia effect I definitely felt it.
I’m sincerely thanks Austin for making videos about my country that can make more people know and understand more about Cambodia. I’m your new subscriber!
Wow, great video. Thank you Austin and Tom. I’m visiting there from the States in April and really looking forward to learning about the Cambodian culture. I subscribed and am going to check out Toms website.
Glad to hear from the native Khmer in Mekong Delta. I've been to Can Tho, My Tho, and Soc Trang as I have some friends who live there. Sending love as well from Khmer in Minnesota, US🎉
Great insights. Tom brings the benefit of many years in country, much more valuable than the two-week vacation bloggers who are checking boxes. I'm a US expat living in Ecuador who is looking at Cambodia as my next stop. BTW, Ecuadorians know and respect Man United.
I could be wrong but I think Com Bo Luc Lac dish is originated from Vietnam. I know that neighboring countries influence each other so perhaps there is a Cambodian version of Luc Lac created from an inspiration from the Vietnamese Luc Lac. Again I could be wrong like how I was wrong about Pho being originated in Vietnam but surprisingly it was originated in Cambodia first as Hui Tieu. Anyhow, thank you for this interview content! ❤ it!
Cambodian culture has been influenced by India, which is reflected in their tradition of eating with their hands, unlike the Vietnamese or Chinese, who use chopsticks. Dishes like Phở and Hủ Tiếu are eaten with chopsticks, so claiming that these dishes originated in Cambodia is quite laughable. Hủ tiếu, first known as kuyteav, originated from the Cambodian Chinese cuisine of the Teochews who came to Cambodia from Guangdong province in China and then emigrated to Vietnam during the 1970s. Hủ tiếu Nam Vang (lit. 'Phnom Penh rice noodle soup') is the classic variation of the dish in which the rice noodles have a softer texture and flat appearance like phở. In Southern Vietnam, the noodles were recreated producing a chewy noodle texture commonly seen in hủ tiếu noodles nowadays. The word hủ tiếu came from the Teochew dialect 粿條 Phở originated in the early 20th century in Northern Vietnam, and after the Vietnam War, refugees popularized it throughout the world. Because phở's origins are poorly documented, there is disagreement over the cultural influences that led to its development in Vietnam, as well as the etymology of the name. The Hanoi (northern) and Saigon (southern) styles of pho differ by noodle width, sweetness of broth, and choice of herbs and sauce.
@@VuNguyen-xc7bhCambodian always use their hands to eat just like other people in this world while a small number, maybe, use their feet for eating 😂. Cambodian use their hands to eat , banana, durian and other fruits and food that they’re are not good enough to use chopsticks or spoons to eat them. However, Cambodian also use chopsticks and spoons to eat noodles and soup because they’re not good at using hands to eat on those types of dishes. All Asian people love soup and some soup are often vey similar to one another, especially when they’re neighbors. And yes we eat rice instead of bread as a staple food.
glad you’re enjoying my country i think for me personally the bad thing about cambodia is the government the politicians corruption 70% of the police are very not good to depend on and the ambulance are very slow in case of emergency beside from all of this everything is great (honest opinion)
I AM ELATED TO SEE A YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR LIKE TOM TAKES A CHANCE IN A COUNTRY LIKE CAMBODIA . THERE ARE SO MUCH IN WHAT THE COUNTRY AND PEOPLE HAVE TO OFFER. LIKE THE TITLE OF THIS VIDEO SAYS, "CAMBODIA IS NOT FOR EVERYONE." HOWEVER, IF YOU SKIP THE RUMORS, POSSESS AN OPEN MIND AND HAVE GOOD HEART, IT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST PLACES ON EARTH TO RESIDE! THE PEOPLE, THE CULTURE, THE FOOD, AND THE HISTORY ARE SO RICH AND UNDENIABLE ! GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR LIFE JOURNEY, TOM!
Now he speaking it and you don’t have to…. If you go ask someone that had an experience about living there and you will received the same answers just like Tom
I say this as many time as it’s takes for people to understand that Cambodia is one of the most misunderstood countries ever. People are saying all this bad stuff about the country because they only look at the bad parts of it they only think of the dark history when they heard about Cambodia
What you don't say is that people in Cambodia are not allowed to express their options freely. It is an authoritarian regime, if you say things that they don't like then they will find a way to lock you up. There is nothing like the UK, people here get the freedom that the Khmer people don't !

I’ve been living in Cambodia since 2003. Both of my sons were born and raised here. It’s an amazing country with the kindest people!

Cambodia is like the Gem inside the caves unless you go to explore yourself experience. Rumors just speak to scare most people.
It's a bad country with bad people like other Southeast Asian countries.
Sending love from the native Khmer in Mekong delta (aka Vietnamese Cambodian)

Pho comes the french pot au feu which is a french dish..
When France ruled Vietnam this became pho...

A lot of westerners when they come to Southeast Asia the first thing they like would be the weather and the rest is history😊❤😊
Welcome to Cambodia ❤
Tom is a solid guy. I met him at one of his events.
I would like to suggest a question "Ask them what do they think about Cambodia in the future?"
Noted 🙌🏾
glad you’re enjoying my country
i think for me personally the bad thing about cambodia is the government the politicians corruption
70% of the police are very not good to depend on
and the ambulance are very slow in case of emergency
beside from all of this everything is great

He mention football a lot .... kinda want to share the field and join the fun...

Factual information… been to Cambodia 5x … great and similar experience…
Now he speaking it and you don’t have to…. If you go ask someone that had an experience about living there and you will received the same answers just like Tom
Like your chanel
I observed thing that guys liked and mentioned about Cambodia is they can have a beer for $1😄
Yeah, and cigarettes $1 a packet - they don't hate smokers! 🤣
You should wear long sleeve shirt when you get out at noon
One thing google only about Angkor wat and pol pot. The internet doesn't know anything else.
Welcome Cambodia
I enjoyed the full video an hour.

yeah some area do call women Long hair and Men short hair lmao

Come to see me bro in Phnom Penh , making friend :)
🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🌹🌹🌹
🇰🇭 ❤🙏
You wore a western business suit? Mate, a tea towel and flip flops are formal attire here.
Cambodia is a HOT hell hole. I couldn't even breath when I was there about two yrs ago. How people put up with the heat is beyond me.
it's mostly 80-100 degrees Fahrenheit most of the year. Their winters are like 70 degrees. lol
Literally nothing is for everyone 😎
👍
Youre so funny about speaking the language Tom. Just like you want to learn khmer and they want to learn English from you 😂
Now you know, be there first before you open your mouth to speak 🗣️
rastafari
beautiful people
Me I’m Cambodian
cambodia best
Did he say “though he’s being white”?
What you don't say is that people in Cambodia are not allowed to express their options freely. It is an authoritarian regime, if you say things that they don't like then they will find a way to lock you up. There is nothing like the UK, people here get the freedom that the Khmer people don't !
🇰🇭🫶🏼👉🏼U
This guy being interviewed has a shocking lack of education lol
This guy needs to travel more hehe
Cambodia is the country easy live and enjoy but if you want to live in modern lifestyle please don't come . ..
💯
I sent 300 usd pm and wife raised a few of our kids there with money to spare
funny robber UK vs Cambodia
🤣
