    We were there last year and we saw quite a few Rolls Royce parking on the street. I think almost 70% out of 70 thousand residents living in that BKK1 district are foreigners (Japanese, Americans, Europeans, Korean, Singaporean, Chinese….). There are many huge and fancy coffee shops in Cambodia. Yes, we also saw a lot of Range Rover SUV’s. Very popular over there.

      There are actually over 300 Rolls Royce and Bentley in Cambodia. It’s insane

      That is true. The majority are expats and young local professional. The wealthy cambodian prefers to live in Villa within Gated Community in Peng Huot, Sen Sok and other surrounded area.

    • @engtechno
      @engtechno Před 2 měsíci +1

      Assess LDC is based on the entire country as the whole. What he didn't show was the poor destitute hood and many of them just right in the backyard. Koh Pich (Diamond Island) was a brand new neighborhood and mostly foreigner's residents. About 3km from that island, it was a poor destitute hood. I am not sure, whatever he is the LDC activist.

    The places and the streets, the trees and walk ways that you showed in this clip are quite like down town Bangkok, Thailand over 50+ years ago: so very peaceful and quite and similar in building styles, except the sky rise bldg ones. This reminded me of the Bangkokians life styles during the old days which I'm missing much.

Especially with a path to residency (Cambodia My 2nd Home program), it's a place I'll keep considering as a potential long-term base/home. Thanks for the tours!

    Those who own luxury cars are hella rich because Cambodia charges more than double the price worth of tax import it into the country. So like a 60-70k car can reach 140-160k after tax in Cambodia.

    Hi Zane, at 10:35 actually Cambodia GDP is $45b(rebase) in 2024. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects that Cambodia’s GDP will grow by 6.1% in 2024, up from 5.6% in 2023. This positions Cambodia as the fastest-growing economy in Southeast Asia for the upcoming year. However, some sources, such as Open Development Cambodia, report an even higher of 7% GDP growth for Cambodia in 2024 projection of 7% GDP growth for Cambodia in 2024.

      Cambodia just rebased GDP as per recommend by the IMF. Currently, Cambodia gdp is at around 45billions $, increase 35% from previous base gdp. This makes Cambodia’s already low debt to gdp ratio even lower to just 26.4%, second lowest in asean only behind Brunei. Normally, countries are recommended to rebase their GDP every 5 years or so, but Cambodia didn’t rebase its own GDP for past 20 years, so a 35% increase is totally normal.

    The best way to pronounce things in Khmer (Cambodian) is to not emphasize on any letter in the word (first letter or last letter), it’s very soft to almost silence.
