- My first day in Phnom Penh, Cambodia was all set to be an epic day until I sadly encountered this... Besides this event I did enjoy the the beauty of a modern city, exploring historical landmarks and enjoying some famous fish amok as well. Hopefully the rest of my time here in Cambodia isn't as rough.

Thank you brother for loving Cambodia ❤😊🇰🇭
Thankfully for your trip to Cambodia ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hope you enjoy your travels in Cambodia. Please visit some of the historical sites and eat the authentic khmer cuisine and interact with the people. Take care.
Curry Amok a Cambodian dish that has Prahok ( unique formented fish paste makes the dish.) The other fish dish is a savoury dish ( Vietnam ) nice complement.
Remember Naga casino when it was being built. Great video !!!
Thanks for sharing this 👍
Nice vid mate. Hopefully will get to Cambodia next year myself. Tell Wendy not to worry birds aren’t real
Great 👍 David !
excellent brother, well done 😎👍❤
The tuk tuk driver, Mark has perfected the Aussie way of saying "noice"! 🤣
It was spot on wasn’t it 😂
i'm going there in a couple of days (but to Siem Reap) , i'm mentally preparing myself to ignore tuktuk drivers coz i'm not accustomed to ignoring people lol buttt i'm so excited and i wish you guys fun travels in cambodia
Enjoy your trip!
Update: i wasn't hassled at all! I love EVERYTHING about 🇰🇭 . Beautiful Country, beautiful people. I was so sad when i left..i will definitely come back again!
@@chewychukabee Good to hear! Always makes the trip that much better
Be safe...be extra careful. Take care.
He speaks Australian accent so nice!
15:20 Yup, I couldn't believe how pricey the food was, especially for the quality 😢
23:40 ត្រង់ចំណុចនេះគាត់មិនគួរបោះបារីនោះចោលឥតមានសណ្តាប់ធ្នាប់បែបនេះសោះ ហេតុអ្វីបានជាពលរដ្ឋយើងខ្លះនៅតែមិនដឹងអំពីបញ្ហានេះទៀត។
Welcome to Cambodia
I like your attitude with Mark. He was super pushy. He’s not the only one like that in Cambodia. You just kept walking. The following you was a bit creepy. The price was outrageous. I’m glad you gave him 40,000. He took you for a dope. You didn’t play along. Well done. Safe travels brother!
Thanks for sharing this video ❤❤❤❤❤
Nice your in Cambodia. Cambodia is an underrated country. Yeah , Cambodia is poorer country compared to the neighbors. Due to the past dark history that happen which set the country far back. But the country is modernizing pretty fast. Hope you enjoy the country, culture, food, and people overall. .People there are very nice. Should visit Angkor Wat it is a UNESCO world heritage. There are beaches there also. You should reach out to youtuber - Cambo vlogs, he a American who lives in Cambodia & can speak the language pretty well. Mark didn't seem like a bad person, just trying to make a living. They were hit hard during covid and as they rely on tourism. Cambodia did recently open back up for tourism. Take care and enjoy your travels and time in Cambodia.
80% of the people of Cambodia is under 40. They have one of the youngest populations in Asia because of war. They are right behind Syria, Iraq, Laos and Pakistan.
mark is your number 1 fan
😂
Welcome to cambodia the kingdom of wonder 🙏🏻🇰🇭

Dave, the first rule you need to learn in Cambodia is ignore the tuk tuk drivers, because they will ALL rip you off, no matter how friendly they may seem.
If this guy has spent time in Australia, he should understand what it means when you say "Go fuck yourself mate!". That's exactly what you should have told him the moment he approached you for the first time!
no no, don´t be rude, Dave! "ate, orkun" ( no, thanks) is mostly enough
Tuk Tuk drivers are like mosquitos. They follow you around until they bite and suck blood.
And which nation have wet dream about world domination.
You should have told that guy that you didn’t need Tuk Tuk. You could lie him that your friends would come to take you. He would stop following you. You were just unlucky to bump into that guy.
What area of Melbourne are you guys from? Nice video ❤
From the South East
Some things never change, those tuk tuk drivers are pests 😆 Just got back from there yesterday 😅
Good to see you once a-gain Mate from L.A.California.You both looked so fresh. Wait till that heat hits you once a-gain. Hard to get a-way from that. Loved your video at the airport in Thailand. It did look very busy Think it was very smart of you to stay there.Tell Wendy I think she would make a wonder-full customer service lady. So pretty and soft-spoken. Cracked me-up when she said if you had any questions please do not ask.Great when she told you to remove your smelly shoes from your capsule. What did you say? Yes mom, funny stuff. I like her accent Very nice.So she does not like birds. That was a-lot of pigeons my-man. Some-times people here call them flying rats. HaHa. In 1963 Alfred Hitchcock made a movie called THE BIRDS. A real classic.If you watch it now the birds look kind of cheesy. Back then, big hit.She would love that.Ha.Ha. Talk a-bout cheese, that 7-ELEVEN blue-me away. Could not belief some of those sandwiches. Looked pretty good ti me.I just knew Mark was going to have a hard time letting you go.I like those tuk-tuk Grabs. Pretty cool. Wish we had those here in L.A.I saw that man with the cart of coconuts right-away.I love them my-self. Had them almost every-day when I visit Asia. That white fish Wendy had looked good. I like curry but may-be not with fish in it. I am waiting for you to hit 50k even 100k soon my-brother. You really deserve it.Really entertaining. I know you will. I would like to give a shout-out to people watching David to consider buying him a cup-of coffee. 5 or 10 dollars is not going to break you i am sure. This is a good man we have here folks. Help him out if you can. Thank-you. Tom the Cali.cat.
HELLO DAVID🙂👍💪❤
Wow that Cambodian dude Aussie accent is amazing! he’s like throwing in Aussie slang words and all that, pretty hilarious 😅!
Haha it was solid have to admit!
Haha it was solid have to admit!
This guy mark is liar. Palace is open on Saturday and Sunday Chester
Dunno how many times I got told it was closed last week 😂
Omg. We just got rip off by this guy. Took us to silk community and ask us for 30$ each.
Just returned from a trip around South East Asia and felt as though everyone from the moment I crossed the border from Thailand that everyone was pressuring you and trying to rip you off , it was very uncomfortable and turned me off returning
The Cambodian guy does a good Aussie accent mark has an accent for every country , great tactic
Enjoy and welcome to cambodia . Just aware yourself . Don’t listen to toxic comment that cambodia is too dangerous.
You can enjoy in my country welcome in Cambodian❤❤

Yep, very different when I came here 23 years ago. 9 times......
**Now days, just make sure you are legal to come and the time you are allowed to stay here you stay legal.**
What camera do you use? The video is high quality

Cheaper if street foods but restaurants expensive for sure🎉
Mark was too pushy but…… he’s just trying to earn an income. Can’t hate on his hustle.
That mark guy is evrywhere and has an accent for everyone
😂
សូមស្វាគមន៍🇰🇭💚
Nice not to see all the power lines above ground and in a mess like in Bangkok! Do you see many foreigners on the streets?
There wasn’t much in Phnom Penh, fet like we we’re the only foreigners haha
19:09 Our driver wanted $15 from the railway station to our hotel just minutes away 😮 He got $5 which was fair
Rough? It’s PP what do you expect, haha he thinks Cambodia is rough, go to Vietnam and Bangkok you will see how industrious they are. The provinces are way different, Cambodian people are quite gentle and laid back
I have been

Who’s the lucky chick mate 😊
Mark is behind you 👀
😂
Tuk Tuk is over charge he can get trouble from doing these
Good-day Mate.from L.A. You should have told Mark to drop you off at that Casino. I would like to check that out my-self. I like to gamble my-self. I hope you will make it to Hong Kong then you could visit Macu. Very nice. Right up there with Las-Vegas. I liked seeing there currency. I have some brand-new Thai baht from the 1970s. One of them is 1-baht. Thats worth about 1-penny now, What is the lowest paper money now brother? That coconut you had for one dollar was good deal. I like the Chinese gold they sell over there. 24k. Funny when Wendy copied you and said , are you out of your god-dam mind. Had to laugh. Liked it when you caught her posing for her camera. Safe travels my friend. Tom the Cali. cat.
First impressions ...well shes CUTEEEE !!!
Sorry that u get ripped off by the tuk tuk
$24 gets you an all day driver not 15min
They love the USD...😅
They love it alot haha
Driver was deported. Next time, when you hear someone with good English, be aware of them. They committed some kind of crime to get sent back. I would have got my guard up.
Dont be so generous to that type of these guy. Asked them to leave and report to police
It's K'mai but Khmer is okay because you're a foreigner. 🙏 🙏 🙏
Oh didn’t know, thanks for letting me know :)
The ladies love the U.S D. know what i'm saying kangroo jack
I can’t believe Mark charged you 24 $ for that! I’d give him 8$. Shame on him! Gotta be careful next time!!
LoL you could have got 2 coconuts for 5000rl but you're paying tourist prices and downtown is more expensive.
That guy got you because you were too nice and had conversation with him too many words......i know my people....lol
You out yo god damn mind! LOLL Wendy's a cutie
😂
Wendy you talk to softly
I tell her the same 😂
Just means she's loud in bed 😆
Khmer(Khmer language ,Khmer people) not Kimur
and welcome to cambodia
Feel so bad that you meet a dumb tuktuk guy, he should have brought u to local restaurant or try some street food instead of going to expensive restaurant. Be honestly, 78$ too expensive for me xD. Anyway thanks for visiting my country ❤🇰🇭
Never trust Taxi or Tuk Tuk drivers, especially someone like this Mark guy. This is so classic. It happened to me in other countries as well. They will take us to all their overpriced allies.
Who is the girl with you David? And are still dating her as of 2024?
Next time look for cowboy tuk tuk driver, should never follow a tuk tuk stalker!
The truth history about Cambodia is not what you get from your Tuk Tuk driver. In 1802 after Nguyen Phuc Anh become an Emperor of the Nguyen Dynasty, he invaded and expelled the Thai overlord with the exception of Siem Reap and Battambong remained under the Thai controlled. The rest of Cambodia were under the Vietnamese controlled. The Nguyen classified all Vietnamese as HAN Nhen and inaugurated the Chu-HAN as the national administration language which was know as the Mandarin. When Ang Chan II died in 1834, the Vietnamese placed Ang Mey to be queen of Cambodia. By this time the entire administration in Cambodia were filled with Vietnamese official including Cambodia region of Prey Norkor (Saigon). Ang Duong with the Thai help failed to expelled the Vietnamese from Cambodia but end up with the joint suzerainty between the Thai and Vietnamese and he had to paid tribute to both the Thai and Vietnamese. The French slowly making inroad into southeast Asia and Ang Duong had the idea of seeking the French help to protect Cambodia territory integrity. Ang Duong died in 1860, the Thai released his eldest son Norodom to be crowned as Cambodia King in 1860. With Khmer Prince Sisowath help, the French captured Prey Norkor (Saigon) in 1858 and made it a French colony 1862 called Cochin China because Saigon was filled with refugee from the dying Ming Dynasty in the late 1700th century and Khmer. Followed up with his father idea, Norodom made the entire Cambodia the French protectorate in 1863. Rebellion against the French happened as soon as the second year of Cambodia become the French protectorate. All anti-French rebellion were put down with the help of Prince Sisowath from his base in Prey Norkor (Saigon). For his help, the French rewarded Sisowath and crowned him as Cambodia King in 1904 instead of Norodom eldest son Norodom Duongchak. If all anti-French rebellion in Cambodia were put down with the help of Prince Sisowath from his base in Prey Norkor (Saigon), then the entire Mekong delta was still a Khmer territory before the French Protectorate. It was the French import of the Chu-Han (Mandarin) to run its administration in Cambodia that caused Cambodia to loose the Mekong Delta to the Vietnamese. The Brevie Line in 1939 become the de factor border of Cambodia and Vietnam. For Khmer reader, the three competing princes after Ang Duong was Norodom, Sisowath and Si Votha.
Norodom Base was in Phnom Penh, Sisowath stronghold was in Prey Norkor (Saigon) and 10 years after Norodom crowned as King, Si Votha stronghold was in Kratie, Cambodia. The pro-French was Sisowath and the Anti-French was Si Votha. The Chu-Han (Mandarin) remained the administrator Cambodia officialdom and most rebellion against the French were waged by these people. It was during the 10 years rebellion waged against the French by Prince Si Votha that Pol Pot's grandfather killed by the French trapped because he was help organized supplies for rebellion.
Very sorry for the ripped off from Cambodian tuk tuk guy. it's so embarrassing to our country.
Be super aware of your surroundings while in Cambodia. Lots of kidnapping cases for ransom or scam syndicates in the news lately 😢
In fact I suggest you go Siem Reap to see Angkor Wat and get out 😅
The kidnapping cases are mostly related to casino and gambling especially Chinese and Taiwanese Chinese. As long as you don't go to casino or involve in gambling activities, it will not happen to you. However, be aware of pickpocket and phone/bag snatching along the street.
Pick pocket. Ye my friend got her phone stolen the other day
don’t b so serious bro . Just aware yourself .
Not, true, Cambodia is pretty safe.
@@gadgetkh9408 There have been journalists lately that appeared on the Jordan Harbinger show that talks about Chinese gangsters kidnapping girls, mostly taiwanese travelers. Because the Economic Exclusion Zone status of the casinos there, the local authorities have no jurisdiction, so people will get kidnapped there and nothing ever happens to get them out.
Your girlfriend is shaking her head when you say mark is very insistent. Lol another taxi scammer in Cambodia as normal😮 tom yum = Cambodia,really haha let’s hope we missed heard that.
They would ask you where are you from... that's how they know to scam you. If you're in Asia tell them you from Thailand 🇹🇭, Lao
LMFAO bro time to come back to Vietnam for more indept travels and adventures 🍻🍻👍
Clicked for May. 🥹😍
