Is It Worth It To Travel To Phnom Penh, Cambodia? | Top Attractions, Khmer Food + Tourist Safety
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 01. 2023
- Phnom Penh was not that popular of a tourist destination in South East Asia for the last few decades, but things are changing now and changing quickly. As the capital city of Cambodia and home to over 2 million people, Phnom Penh is an up and coming SEA hub city that I think has a lot of potential and more to explore than meets the eye. Join me and my Dad as we show you around some of the top attractions in the city, try some traditional Khmer food and talk about how we feel as tourists in the city. Hope you enjoy the video and find it helpful!

The travel health insurance I use - PassportCard Nomads: www.passportcardnomads.com/?r...
*I highly recommend this travel health insurance because you don't have to pay out of pocket for your medical expenses and they have very reasonably priced long term plans. You can buy the packages for shorter trips as well, but they're especially fantastic for digital nomads and nomads who want regular health insurance when they are abroad. I am an affiliate of this company, but of course use the plans myself.

Just before I visited Cambodia in 2001 they installed the very first escalator in the country!! There were zero high rise buildings that I saw. It really has come a long way. Which is great as I love the Cambodian people for being so friendly and welcoming. Happy Travels
I recommend going to Phnom Penh to everyone
I had an awesome time
I had my own special tour guide lol
Lol wow lucky you
@@AlinaMcleod He is very lucky indeed to have such wonderful daughter.
Thanks for sharing your video again Alina i escape from Cambodia to Thailand in 1979 and 1983 i immigrated to Montreal Canada 🇨🇦 the last time i went back to Cambodia in 2016 Alina just stay away from the bad areas in phnom Penh and the khmer peoples is very nice peoples and i always want to go back Cambodia my retirement is coming very soon i plan to stay in Cambodia between November to March April i come back to Canada to see childrens and my grandchildrens and also I'm happy to your dad travels with you to see world and also sometimes i just don't want to think the passed during the khmer rouge regime very bad my mother and my brother and relatives died alot during that time thanks again Alina enjoy your time with in my country Cambodia take care bye from milton Ontario Canada
Oh my gosh, I am so sorry about everything you and your family went through. It is truly so tragic. I'm glad you are living in Canada now and can retire in Cambodia when it suits you. All the best to you!
I’m Cambodian and I’m also a State Trooper of the state New York,USA
It looks absolutely beautiful. Love the architecture. 👍😊🇮🇪🇰🇭
Those are hornbills. There are a lot of them at Wat phnom. They are friendly. They will come to you if they see you bring fruits.
2:10 The Royal Palace looks amazing! It does also remind of The Grand Palace at Bangkok. 😱👍

I really hadn't heard much about Cambodia since the days of Khmer rouge. Your first video in country shows a stunningly beautiful city with gorgeous palaces and temples. You present a vibrant and modern city. This is definitely moved on to my must visit list based solely on your presentation. A well done video, but then why would I expect less.
Thank you and I'm very happy to hear that!
As an expat resident of Phnom Penh I thought this was a fun and informative travel overview of PP. It touched on the main areas and attractions that are available to a visitor. There is certainly a lot more to see and explore than what is in the clip but well done Alina and your dad for opening travelers eyes to what they could see if they visit Cambodia. A lot more people are coming here now.
Thank you very much!
Those birds that you saw at Wat Phnom are actually owned by a governor (I forgot his name). He owns 30+ of those birds and they’re often seen flying around the city.
Your Dad is such a good travel buddy! Thanks for sharing some of the history of the city. It’s so important to know the history good and bad of a location to get a deeper understanding of a country and it’s people! ❤
Yes, visit Phnom Penh, stay on the River, rent a dual sport and ride around the area.
Hello Alina! 😄🙏👋🌟 I hope your having a wonderful day! This is really a beautiful excellent super magnificent video! 😁👍❤️👏📹🇰🇭🥇💯💫✨🌟 The city of Phnom Penh looks so amazing! Also the Royal Palace looks absolutely magnificent and the architecture is so beautiful! The Wat Phnom Temple is really marvelous! Even the food in the restaurant looks truly delicious! I would definitely like to visit the city of Phnom Penh one day. It really is a fantastic city! Thank you so much Alina to share with us this excellent magnificent video. You are the best and greatest world traveler adventurer! 😃👍👏✈️🌎📹🗺🥇💯✨🌟 I wish you Alina and your Dad a wonderful excellent marvelous blessed day. Take care Alina.

I was born in the 80’s in a refugee camp on the Thai border, my family directly impacted by the Khmer Rouge. Finally making the journey home with two kids in tow. Thanks for the tips! Dad should have tried the snail!!
You are constantly educating me on your channel that's why I love watching it..Beautiful Cambodia with a sad History😞..x
Once again thank you for another amazing and wonderful video. You and your dad are such amazing people. I wish I still have my mom and dad to tag along with during my vacation. Unfortunately they both died during the Khmer Rouge time in 1976 one year after they took over and kicked us out of our home in Phnom Penh. Thank you I really enjoy you your dad and the video. Have fun and stay safe.
These birds are hornbills. I'm a Khmer Canadian who has not been back to my country of origin yet. Hope to snowbird there one day when retired.
Thank you. Have a good trips

I can’t wait to see your next video about Cambodia from Siem Reap and beaches site❤
good to travel with your dad. i miss mine. enjoy.
I felt so happy that you love and look after your father very good.
Wow! Good on you for visiting Cambodia!
your travel doesn't only show the attractions of Cambodia and its cultural difference but it also reminds me of the country becoming one of the important facets of world history, thanks so much.
Yes. While in school, I don’t recall countries like Cambodia were ever talked about in World History class. Because of the genocide, it definitely should.
@@mikewhocheeseharry5292 genocide issue had become a part of debate discussion when I was in high school. According to a datum presented in one of the debates, I realized Cambodia is at par with Bangladesh genocide, and Nazi against the Polish in term of the number of victims which indicates at about 3,000,000. The country has regained its identity and integrity into the modern era which I also think is the reason why Cambodia is currently one of the most visited tourist spots in South East Asia.
Will be visiting cambodia very soon...your video is highly informative...thanks
I was there in 1964. There was one French hotel on the river, can’t remember the name of it. The rooms had mosquito nets all around the beds.
Great Vid....live in Thailand but outside of a quick visa trip never really been to Cambodia....on my list now.
Watching you videos give me an itch, iIt has been decades since I left for the US. I am back to ASIA for good.. I have been to many places you shown. It is a big different after 20 years. Thanks.
there's a quiet little fishing village called KEP, just south Cambodia, not far from Campot, some very nice resorts by the coast..and great restaurant's.
Interesting city, seems beautiful too. I'd like to visit. Have fun, sweetie.
PP is expanding rapidly. More and more developments is changing the landscape every year. I went there last year and was quite surprised how fast things were changing.
Welcome welcome to Cambodia 🇰🇭🙏🏻❤️
Hi Alina! Well done! This is a well-crafted video with interesting content. Thanks for your enjoyable introduction to Phnom Penh!
Thank you so much!
The food looks amazing, Alina.
It absolutely was!
Alina, your description is very accurate about the Khmer Rouge. I am impressed by you young Lady. Well said. Oh my God I want some of that fish Amok, have not had it in a long long time. Can't find any in Chicago.LOL
Very beautiful country and interesting as well 👍
Just found you site! I was in Cambodia in 2010. You did a great job of representing the city and country. The Genocide Musuem is a “must”to see and experience. Thank you for including this place. That time in history has a huge effect on the people to this day. Thank you again!!
Thank you for sharing Alina you are beautiful lots of love from Montreal
Your dad is so adorable
You're so inspiring! Thank you! 💖🩵

Hello beautiful!!! I like the atmosphere of this place ☺️Have fun with your dad!!!
Thank you 🤗
Give me the Grand Palace vibes in Bangkok but this place is definitely less tourists here... Been to Siem Reap before in 2018. Good memories in Cambodia.
Such charming presentation and balanced insights. Is your dad always such a sweet adorable guy?);
Thank you dear Alina and Dad. You both always brings positive vibes with every single attraction of the spots in the videos you present... May good health and happiness be yours. May god bless you both forever and ever. Aamiin. 🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

Great Vlog. Love it.
the birds are called Hornbill. One interesting fact about this bird is Hornbills are mate for life. They always fly as a couple and I enjoy seeing them do that when I drove my motorbike past Wat Phnom area.
I am going to visit phnom Penh. Thank you for this beautiful video.
Hope you have a great time!
@@AlinaMcleod thank you🙏❤

Thanks for visit to Cambodia
Welcome to Phnom Penh…!❤🎉
Correction: Khmer rouge regime started from April 17 1979 to January 06 1979. Also when Cambodia gained its independence from France. It was a Kingdom, not Republic.
Nice birds!

Brown is a high end cafe, it's considered the Starbuck of Cambodia. so it's a bit more expensive than others.
