Cool place! I spent 3 months there teaching English :) Quiet and relaxing place! Lots of potential, who knows what will happen there in the next 5 years
good stuffs, good to see you touring the real Cambodia, unlike most of tourists only visiting Siem Reap and the expensive Phnom Penh... Keep it up mate
Before the early 2000s, students had to study either French or English in middle and high schools. Now most students just study English. Kampong Cham is my home province. Nice to see it in your video.
Ive never had the guts to climb those stairs either. They have been there for at least 10 years. Great video. I haven't been to Kampong Cham in a few years. It looks like it hasn't changed much.
Good video as usual Chai. My mom own 15 hectares of rubber plantations in kompong Cham. I’ve never been there but seem to be a peaceful town. Thanks for video
my grandmother who is chinese-vietnamese but was born and grew up in cambodia to migrant parents, had to learn both french and khmer since it was mandatory
thank you for visiting Cambodia. French tool over Cambodia in1863 to 1953. in school, French forced Cambodian school to learn French. that is why elder people in Cambodia speak France
Hi Chai, I followed you since the first day you arrived in Cambodia and I 'm glad to see you feel easy with Cambodia/Cambodians after a few days there. It was easy right? just smile, a few Khmer words, a few bite of Khmer food, and you are family. You are loved in Cambodia Chai.
Thank you so much!! Haha and yes that’s pretty much what it takes ❤️ I have to say I’ve left Cambodia already. I’ll definitely return soon again (hopefully before the end of the year 😊) thanks so much for your kind words
Wait a minute man, isn't this place in Laor Eth village. It looks like the ones next to one of my places 😂 thanks for coming to Kampong Cham, my hometown. You got it all through out my city and even the place I work out and one of the lady who speaks French. FYI, French language is not a compulsory but were left till now after France colonization. France was also the first country to reach out after Khmer Rouge collapsed and French language was to be put in education curriculums once again due to their aids. I'm glad you like Kampong Cham province and it is my pleasure to say that your video does justice to the city.
Well done champ. The accommodation was quite good for the price and funny that not a great deal cheaper was the cost of the bike rental then with fuel $13.00 plus gone from the $20.00. You did plenty of touristy things that were free, managed to keep hydrated and even had food and ice cream and walked away with change. Excellent!! It would be interesting to do a similar exercise somewhere in rural Thailand outside of Chiang Mai at some stage and certainly achievable I'd say. Really enjoyed that Chai. Cheers buddy 🍻🤩
Haha cheers mate! It was a nice one to film 😁 next episode will be the last episode in Cambodia 🤩 I’m looking forward to show you that one as well. Cheers mate
In 1863; Cambodia was under the French protectorate during 90 years. A lot of older people speak french because it was the second language. (My wife is French so...that's why we know).
@@Chai_Travel I am not sure if it is by law or not because I have never heard of it. Or maybe it was during the French Colonization. But French language was used as a foreign language taught in educational program starting from Primary school that is why elder people can understand French a little bit. I used to study French too when I was in primary school but long ago, it was changed to English until now.
My homeland is in Kratie town near kampong Cham province and Thbong khmum province,U know when I was child I was call all foreigners are French because my grandparents know about French during France colonial that’s why most of Cambodian people call all foreigners are French or Barang in Khmer word.
If you could travel, eat, and sleep like locals, you can even stretch your $$$ much further. Life is short but there's always an option in life. Be mindful and be happy. Cheers 🍷
* If you come here, be legal to do so. While your here stay legal. This is not the land of milk and honey to overstay your time here and overstay your visa. That information is free and not $20.
One of the attractions to me was the amazing smiles these people have is their amazing smiles even when they are committing some outrageous traffic offence. It’s an absolute shame though that a large proportion of the population are still walking around with those silly face masks….
Kampong Cham means Cham Village. Chams are Champa Malays not Khmers. They are musllims, originally from what is now Vietnam. The Champas used to rule over South Vietnam.

That’s where my grandparents were born and raised before going to the city!
Interesting, thanks :)
Thanks mate :) it’s definitely a place I’d like to visit again sometime 😊
I climbed that light tower in 2019 and yes it’s very steep .. like this / angle .. great view from the top 360 degrees .. Seemed harder coming down 👍
No way! Thanks for letting me know. You are a dear devil and the first person who told me who climbed them 🤩💪 good on you. Thanks for watching 🙂
Looks lovely there. Phnom Penh can be too busy.
Just awesome ❤❤
Thanks a lot 😁
In 1863; Cambodia was under the French protectorate during 90 years. A lot of older people speak french because it was the second language. (My wife is French so...that's why we know).
Aah cool, thanks. I’m just wandering if they by law had to speak French :)

I used to study French too when I was in primary school but long ago, it was changed to English until now.
Aaa thank you. A few people told me in the comments that at least some the textbooks on school in the 70s were in French and it used to be mandatory
good video. looks like vietnam a bit, and worth a visit 👍
Thanks for the tip 😃 Vietnam is coming up soon
I think you should visit in all provinces with 20$ challenges
That's hard to do
I’d love to do so 😃 good idea
Beautiful Province
It really is!
My homeland is in Kratie town near kampong Cham province and Thbong khmum province,U know when I was child I was call all foreigners are French because my grandparents know about French during France colonial that’s why most of Cambodian people call all foreigners are French or Barang in Khmer word.
Thanks for that info mate 😁 also thanks for watching 😊
We were a French colony, and yes, during the colonial era, it is mandatory to learn french.
You should visit Poipet city, it’s in Banteay Meanchey. It’s close to Thailand boarder.
I’d love to do so 🤩 we have to come back here one day as we left the country already 🥲
9:27 That tower looks high and wonky lol!
Hahaha I’m sorry… I just couldn’t do it!
@@Chai_Travel Probably a good call, didn't see an ambulance service around 😅
What do you have against my country? What ever it is you better said it to my face!
I climbed the French Tower. Two different occasions. Slow climb with lots of praying!!!😂
No way? And you’re still alive?! 🫣🤪
Good on you mate. It was just to scary for me 😅
@@Chai_Travel it's not that I was braver, it was that I was more foolish! 😳🤣🤣🤣
Kampong Cham is like Kampot without all of the tourists.
Haha yeah something like that 😋
If you could travel, eat, and sleep like locals, you can even stretch your $$$ much further. Life is short but there's always an option in life. Be mindful and be happy. Cheers 🍷
Very true! Thank you for watching 🏆
For those old people here can speak French because the History of French protectorate of Cambodia / Oudong (1863-1865), Phnom Penh (1865-1953).
Thanks 😊
How about doing a video about the requirements to be here and stay here regarding visas ?
Good one but I have to come back one day as I’ve left already 😊
Text books in school were in French before 1970.
I didn’t know that :) thanks so much for letting me know 😁 thanks very kind of you ❤️
I thought only me like the smile in market😂😂😂
Fresh views you have
Cheers! Thanks for watching Vichiny

I had seen your video in Myanmar. What were your feelings in the two episodes.
2nd episode of the Myanmar playlist? Exited and curious, a little anxious
NICE video but next video can you go to battambang i live in there❤

You should go to visit Battambang province sir.

Easy :) but if you have to pay for accommodation it’s hard I think 😊
@@Chai_Travel yes exactly
* If you come here, be legal to do so. While your here stay legal. This is not the land of milk and honey to overstay your time here and overstay your visa. That information is free and not $20.
Onya Gazza - wise advice if needed I guess!! Did you enjoy the day out with the champ??
As soon as I heard only fan, I was dying with laughter
Haha yeah, I said it and I knew it sounded “wrong” 😝
No one has never use those lighthouse stairs, except the people who build it 😂
Hahaha! I’ve actually found one person in the comments of this video who climbed it so far 🤩 thanks for watching!
@@Chai_Travel you did climbed it too so congratulations.
Haha just a little bit 😋😊

Yeah, it’s a shame the world changed a bit :) but with or without mask I think it is still a beautiful world 😃
Omg I live in cambodia in kampongcham
It’s a nice place ❤️
Omg thx I went to the bamboo bridge 3 times before
The money to cross the bamboo bridge isn’t that expensive
Would be nice if u would visit my house it’s pretty close to the bamboo bridge

French is the language of the privilege and usually older people speak French. The younger generation speak English
Thanks for the explanation:)
Kampong Cham means Cham Village. Chams are Champa Malays not Khmers. They are musllims, originally from what is now Vietnam. The Champas used to rule over South Vietnam.
Thanks for that extra info 😊
🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🥰🥰🙏🙏
Cheers 😁
U next to my dad friends place
Aaah nice :) we liked it a lot
Hi is nothing going on kampong cham 😅😅
Slow life mate. A great place to wind down I would say
Alot of AD man
AD?
It is not wise to have an icecream in a country like this.
I’m afraid I do a lot of things that are not so wise sir. Thank you for your concern though 😊
You’re not going to make it
You can
With $20? Easy mate ;p
Yes you can
