- The Poor of Cambodia are Friendlier Than The Rich 🇰🇭
In this video, I take a still river side in Phnom Penh in the country of Cambodia, a country which has adopted the American USD as their currency. You'll get to see the weird way this is traded and change is given. We also check out the local vendors and take part in a number of Chinese rituals.

Thanks!
Pay it forward Brother !
Happy Holidays
Mate you are an absolute legend! Thank you so much, I will make sure I continue helping where I go 🙏🏽
Friendliest people i have ever met were cambodians. Very humble people from a brutalist history. If you get to batambang go to the killing caves, if younare in PP go to "the highschool" and the killing fields. I got blind drunk with a tuk tuk driver at his place. Ended up peeling about 50kg of cucumbers with him and his family. Amazing memories
Totally man!
Yes I have done all that you have mentioned.
The Cambodian people are greet!!
You're either very rich or very poor here and there is no middle class. Again, be mindful of your surroundings and be kind whenever possible. Enjoy your trip and stay safe. Happy travels from a genocide survivor there!
Absolutely brother! Loved the Cambodian people 🙏🏽
i'm raised in a middle class family, we live from pay check to pay check, enough to get by but we have a long way to go and more opportunities to grab.
I cannot agree more.
My entire life spent in Cambodia, many rude riches turns out to be young adult that got spoiled by their parents. I’ve met a few humble nobles but they’re tend to be in their 40s to 50s. But yes, people who are in the middle class and lower class tend to help others and that’s because we value the sense of community.
my friend dont trust what this man is saying he a pro us bot
@@teakchenda9241hii😊
thats pretty much anywhere in the world, the poorer people are usually more humble.
In America they say crime is from desperation and poverty, and the government throws money at the problem with no results. . The people of the Philippines and Cambodia prove this wrong. I’ve met some really poor people that would never steal anything I leave laying around. When they have only a little rice they offer to share it out of kindness. Crime has nothing to do with economic disparity. It has to do with values and morals people are taught when growing up.
Completely agree man! There is good and bad in all classes and places in life.
The Cambodians were great to me
Indeed ! 100% understood 🙏❤️🇰🇭I love Cambodia so much they’re ❤ are legit their high values it’s families , friendship they love you and welcome you for who you really are and not for what your are. But sadly , Chinese and Vietnam are investing into Cambodia heart. Please be respectful and mindful that we’re all human being who has the same basis needs. Thank you and enjoyed your stay! ❤️🙏🇰🇭💝
So true, sir. Values and morals are what's lacking in America.
Mr Marco...
I really appreciate your video about the natural life in Cambodia.
Many Vloggers who record discovery trips around Southeast Asia, you do it in a much better way.
Jonas from Sweden living in Rayong Thailand
Thank you bro appreciate that!
I've been watching tons of videos on Cambodia recently as I am headed back there in January of 2024. This has been one of my favorites! Thank you!
I'm going there in a month. Don't forget to visit Laos!
Those people in rich communities don't want people to know how corrupt they are..they always use their poor to do things they wouldn't do..take advantage and mistreat them
That's one of the things typical Cambodian. When they give you something, they don't want you to pay for it. Unlike the west where we buy our own foods or drinks, Cambodians would pay when they invite you. Giving money can offend them. We're used to pay for our own foods or drinks. Cambodians are different.
29:20 The Chinese is fantastic at raising structures fast and cheap. If you want the structures to last, you paint it with Jotun. Jotun is a Norwegian company that manufacture paints and coatings in some 40 countries. Greetings from Norway.
Thanks man! Sounds like a solid product.
Thanks for watching 🇳🇴
Mate, loving the vids. I really need to get off my ass and go check out some of these places before I get to old, I'm already 54 😬
I never been into the traditional holidays, more want to see the real places and how people really live and your videos definitely show that. I've travelled all around Australia plenty of times but that's getting to expensive. Yep Cambodia is gonna be added to my bucket list. Thanks mate.
Thank you buddy! I’ve often wanted to travel around Australia too, but one week there is like 5 weeks travel here 😂
Yeah go to Cambodia and Vietnam for sure! You’ll love it 🙌🏽
Yes, Marco. Poor Cambodian are much nicer than the Rich ones. I'm glad you discovered that. 😁Thanks for sharing the reality of Cambodian daily situation.
This is the hidden reality of Cambodia that no politicians want to acknowledge to the world. ✌
Those guys that bought you beer and didn’t want to let you pay for it at are super cool!
Yep! Absolute legends
Gold vlog bloke. You’ve got to love the Boj!
Thanks buddy!
I used to live in Peng Huoth and hated it. It is full of rich snobs and young spoiled brats racing their luxury cars up and down the roads as late as 1 or 2 a.m. and having parties all hours of the night because they don't need to go to work in the morning like some of us. On top of that, the area, outside of all the greenery, is quite boring, except for Euro Park. Each business in the area is built into the same identical looking shophouse, and the interior is pretty much exactly the same in each one. My partner and I loved the greenery there, but not much else.
amazing people thankyou marco and black hope the best for Cambodia ,, i like the locals ))
Yeah buddy! And black is a legend 🙌🏽
Wish I could travel like this 😢
Very lucky and blessed to be able to.
Thank you for the awesome content ❤
Maybe you can :)
I used to run a business in Sydney working with all the big name corporations, now I just hang out in the most random towns and meet the locals 🤷🏽
Much happier doing this than hanging with people in suits
@@marcoroams I definitely envy you!!
Thank you for visiting and review video in Cambodia 🇰🇭🇰🇭❤❤ thank you so much 🙏❤️🙏
❤️❤️❤️
Another excellent episode Marco. You're getting good at this you're a natural. Keep them coming mate 👍
Thank you man!
No problem! 😛🤘 Love the 40 minute vid... Awesome, as usual 😁
Thanks man 😁
Magical Video
Thank You for sharing with us.
Thank you my man!!
Great content Marco. Love it.
Mate you are the best! Thanks so much 🙏🏽
Thanks for visiting our country.
Welcome to Cambodia 🇰🇭🙏 Cambodia is the land of smiles brother 😊🥰
Thank you bro!
Yeah I have to say top of my list of beautiful people … with what you all went through, no idea how 🤷🏽
Welcome to Cambodia🥰🇰🇭❤️
enjoy your trip
This kinds of places is everywhere around the world 🌎, Mr Black seems all around kinds of Guy." Take Care & enjoy your day 😊❤
I find it true everywhere you go! The poor are always more nicer than the rich….
Yea, i agree with you, that bar/restaurant Blackie took you to was rather sketchy! As a Cambodian I, too, found the music in the bar annoying. Not sure if all bars are like that in Cambodia, though! God bless and travel safely!
I was just sitting here wondering if you was going to have a video up today 👍
Haha of course 🙏🏽
I’m glad you see the beauty and generosity of normal average people and don’t let the rich obnoxious arrogant people ruin your experience of my wonderful country.
How are you doing Marco, that was a great video of Cambodia, it is good to see what goes on of the beaten track, good stuff mate.
Glad you enjoyed it! I am good my friend 🙏🏽
I just wanna say yes i realy like your adventure love your travelling, good experience 👍
Thanks 4 sharing 👍
The contras is huge. It's like you are travelling through two different countries.
Totally!! Blows my mind
Hey man, I visited Cambodia in March and saw the slums, the friendliest people are the poor people indeed. They have been through so much and are very headstrong. great videos man
Totally man! Great people, thank you 🙏🏽
I love my country so much ! But Cambodia use to be one of the greatest Khmer Empire that expanded to half of South East Asia mainland unfortunately since histories Cambodia has been raids and at wars in a multiple times against the neighbors people trying to invade the Empire slowly we lost tremendously Khmer territories then the modern time in histories the Genocides (1975-1979) that killed Millions almost Khmers population. That’s the time were Khmer country was awhile isolate from the modern world . Despite the multiple turmoils Cambodia it’s re-emerging slowly at a fastest pace . Thank you for promoting Cambodia . Enjoyed your stay .🇰🇭❤️🙏🌎
This is the case for most countries! 😇 ✌🏼
Hii
Great to see you in Cambodia Marco kid. My bro has been living there 10 years so ive visited a few times. Best to visit places like Kampot, Koh Rong, Siem Reap etc for better video content. Always carry more Cambodian riel than us dollars if you can help it. Easier for the vendor and prevents you from getting screwed over with your change 🤘
I agree mate!!
Yep I have a Siem Reap video coming up and also a Battambang video
Salam kenal dari indonesia
Senang menonton video Anda
Only just found you by chance , I gotta say I'm very pleased with your work. Keep rollin bro.
If the market for travel vlogs is oversaturated, then I will do my best to share and spread as I think your "product " could easily be up there with big names such as bald and bankrupt, balder,Mark weener, but less cheese and creepiness. 😊😊😊
I look forward to a half day weekend binge around the world
Take care bud 🙏👏👏👏
Hahaha thanks so much bro!! 😁
Toward the end, I understand how you feel, the loud speaker music they play can be really grinding. I come into cafes sometimes here in Phnom Penh and as soon as i sit down, they turn up the music. I do ask them to turn it down but they cannot understand why I'd think it's annoying. I also find it bizarre that they play music that loud when it was a method used by the Khmer rouge to mentally torture their people.
Omg!! I agree with you so much … I walk around trying to find a nice chilled cafe or place to eat and then as soon as I come in they turn the music up really loud!
I don’t get it. It’s definitely torture for me lol
2:17 I’ve been up and down the riverside (north of the Chroy Changvar bridges where the tourist area ends), it pains me to see those homes torn down after so many years.
Yeah it sad in a way, but that’s the power of money there!
Great video as always! Safe travels Brother ! The girl in that bar was attractive ! 😅
Thanks buddy! Yeah she was cool but shy haha
Thank you for coming to travel in Cambodia.
Great Title 💪
Thank you!
My gated vacation home is near thst rich area of cambodia. Whenever i come visit, i always come to the poor area and try to give back to the poor khmers.
Great content as usual dude.. are you going back home for christmas ? bet mum misses you bro
Thank you!! Not this Christmas, I’ll be in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
@@marcoroams ah is that unusual for you to be away at christmas ? no fire burning in the fireplace with home alone playing on the TV and the christmas jumpers on? i love christmas.. i'll be doing it alone this year unfortunately
@@corlyscrawlies hahah yeah it will be my first one away ..
But no in Australia it’s up around 100 degrees Fahrenheit, we are usually swimming in the pool, playing balls games cooking a BBQ and having drinks with all the family.
Ahh hopefully you find someone to celebrate it with 🥳
Oh yeah i forgot australia rarely sees the snow like we do in the uk 🤣 well i hope you have a merry christmas mate, wherever in the world you are 👍
In most of these places' tourist should avoid tuktuk or trike riders as they tend to rip you off.
Over time I have found that the ones who approach me when I get off a bus, etc. and trying to get me into their trike will be the ones that overcharge, therefore I tend to go to one that is up the road a bit from where the bus stop is etc..... they tend to be the ones that do the right thing.
Yeah I agree! However my guy was really good 🙏🏽
@@marcoroams He seems genuine, where did you even find him? He spoke decent english and was keen enough to show you whatever you wanted!
Poor people are usually friendlier around the world than the rich.
If a random foreigner asked for a tour of my home with my family and kids inside I probably would say no? Guess that makes me an asshole
Yes Kevin! 😂 whatever you want to call yourself
30:09 Of note, in the background is the Sokha Hotel: right on the coast in the area is a village of ethnic Cham people that live on boats. Really cool folks, however the government keeps threatening to boot them out
Wow I wish I saw that!
Well in the next Cambodian video I go to a village in Siem reap! I felt like I was in a Time Machine! Seems like I was in an area 50 years ago
37:05 There’s “Angkor” and “Anchor” beers, but locals call the latter with a “ch” sound, as in “chair” - completely oblivious to the fact that native English speakers would pronounce both the same 😂
i think the poor of most countries are friendlier than the rich
you should head to Myanmar while you're in SE Asia Marco...for me that was the best of all se asia countries and experiences and also super friendly poor people
For sure! I will head there before I leave Asian 🙏🏽
He took you to a dirty dinking spot Marco. The lady in the green jacket is the pimp\mamason. She controls everything. Those girls that sit next to you are there to drink your beer and keep you company. You’re supposed to tip her after. She will even go back to the hotel with you 😅. You are so innocent Marco 😂
😂😂😂 haha I kind of thought that but then got a different vibe, I was confused as you can see.
But yes, I tipped her to drink my beer and not talk to me 🙃
@@marcoroams she probably didn’t speak English that’s why. Good times
Hell no, be careful. That place isn't a bar. It is a local hangout after a day of work. Tourist may get away for asking to have sex with these girls but local, hell no, go to jail or paying compensation for violating the laws. I visited many of those hangouts. Many girls are a high school student who wants to make a few dollars for her education but not selling sex and they are laws in place to protect her dignity.
@@engtechnohii😊
husband speaking age 80 Mr. Marco - the hanging meat reminds me of my first trip to Cebu in 1979 walking
through the Carbon Market area. Meat hanging, feeding the fly's and the clerk asleep on top of the counter. Few
stores had any kind of cold storage. It took at least 10 years to start seeing stores with freezers. I think I would
throw up if I saw a cat or dog as meat on the counter for sale. Personally our dogs here in Cebu are cared for much
better than many kids are. One of my wife's Aunts husband who worked on a ship, would come home 2 or 3 times a year
and want to eat dog. I actually never got to meet him as he was always gone when I was here.
Yeah it’s crazy how different it can be in each country!! 🐕 🐈⬛
Welcome to Cambodia❤
🎉🎉🎉 you the man🎉🎉🎉
🥳🥳🥳
As Mr. black said the house owner in the Peng hout community owned by forigner, And as I'm a resident live in PH community, I'm here just to correct that all the house owner in PH are cambodian, There's no rule for forigner to own the land and house in cambodia. For some forigner like chinese or westerner who live in the community are rent from the owener. anyway enjoy your day here in cambodia mate.
The original Cambodians are friendly,honest and kind.but be careful with the Vietnamese-Cambodian and Chinese-Cambodian,they have different mentality.
# 3 in Cebu when we are driving to a mall or where ever, going across one of the bridges - you might see folks
painting the curbs, or sweeping the gutter all the way. I think most are ladies doing this work, kind of hard to tell
at times as they have hats and big sweaters on to keep from burning up from the sun. ( how do they not sweat to death ? )
Right now I am sitting under a large fan blowing at medium speed. The AC is only used at night to sleep.
Yeah I’ll tell you, these woman work bloody hard in Asian and get it done and don’t complain!!
The Zabbaleen is a word which literally means "garbage people" in Egyptian Arabic. The contemporary use of the word in Egyptian Arabic is to mean "garbage".
Hey mate I was wondering if you got the name of the bar you were in a the end of this Vid. Heading over there in June next year for a few weeks to have a look around before heading into Thailand again. Are you looking at heading to Patong for Songkran next year??
Hey mate no idea, but I am still buddies with Black the driver. He can take you around all day and knows all the spots?
I won’t be there, heading to India for next year
@@marcoroams Sounds good mate. Are you looking at going to Song Kran in Patong next year if you are would be great to catch up for a beer there. Merry Christmas Mate from your home land here in OZ.
Thanks!
Thank you so much man! I really appreciate this 🙏🏽
@marcoroams better and cheaper than any movie and without the woke BS I feel honored to give
@@thekernall74 thank you man!! You really enjoy my stuff that much? 😁
@marcoroams for sure I really enjoy seeing how people live around the world. And your right on about the difference between rich and poor. A man with nothing will split his last meal with someone rich man won't give a person the time of day. In most situations
@@thekernall74 yeah man! Obviously there is good and bad of all classes but I’m yet to have been invited in or given anything by the rich, it’s always the people living with nothing who give me something
25:00 Those house own by Cambodian people, in Cambodia we don’t allow foreigner to buy land or house my sister also work there ,
Did they flog u in the price of the lady beers? Reminds me of that scene in rush hour.
Haha nah the cans were only about $1.20 each and we just have the girl $10 or something
@@marcoroams oh that's not bad. Cheaper than 1 pint and a judgmental frown down here in Melbourne lol
The farther you visit the country side the nicer and honest the people . Personally I love country side, it peaceful and quiet.

2:55 The truth is those people living there are illegal and the buildings there are also illegal too. As you can see, They throw trash and drain wastewater into the river which is bad for the environment. The land is owned by the government but when the investors come to develop the area, So they have to move to another place and get paid by the government.
Haha kind tuktuk dude, she wanted 2500R for the coffee but he decided to charge you 3000R so she gets the extra 500R. He basically decided you can handle that.
Yeah a few people have said that, but it’s only 12c
Means nothing to me at all, think he was just rounding it up to be fair to her! 🙏🏽
@@marcoroams sure thing bro. Nothing sinister. City price. Where I live, same coffee is not less than 6000R.. She was kind and honest too, and gave you a “local” rate, Didn’t try to take immediate advantage on you being there. He helped her to get better margins😅
Good you caught that, I thought I was halucinating.
Bro when you walked into the gas station and it was empty 😂😂😂 after you said you get everything there 😂😂😂😂 oh man I’m sorry but that was golden
Hahaha I genuinely wanted to get some stuff then halfway realised it was empty so just started making a joke out of it
unbelievable how huge those mansions are in cambodia hard to find ones like that in new zealand ,difference between have nots and have beens bloody hell
Yeah mate! It shocked me too
property and land is way more expensive in New Zealand. that gated community where Marco went into .. was like 500k to million dollar mansions is the same price as the Average house in NZ. So technically you can afford to live there!
Hello Marco, seems the rich are pretty much the same all over the world! Them guys just hanging out by the super cars say a secret business? Probably the bloody mob! lol I have to agree that would be very weird and uncomfortable the way that bar was run. Chick just sit down and drink your beer...thats crazy! Very different ways of life over there!
Haha I did some research … it’s an exclusive hangout for high stakes poker players. Invite only, they stay there for days and drink and gamble. Chinese and Vietnamese I was told.
Haha very weird an awkward but funny for the video 🤷🏽
# 5 Mr. Marco - same in Cebu at the Karaoke bars - folks go in to pretend to sing, really beautiful ladies
are grouped together, you pick one and she comes to your table, management runs over and says you must buy
a " ladies " drink., probably good for 15 or 20 min. then you better buy another glass of tea for them. Maybe 10 + years
ago we met up with one of my wife's relatives visiting too and her boy friend. (was not much of a boy friend ) we four go
in to this joint, this guy picks out a very pretty gal to come and sit between me and him. Great, my wife next to me, this lady
asks my wife if this is ok. We get a sob story of her life, she hoping for some extra money. Anyway, not a place for a mixed
group. Young single men or old single men who are gullible and an easy mark . What an amazing story today, very nice.
Sounds like the classic stitch up! Same story all the time and planned out, they know how to do it haha …
I absolutely hate Karaoke and loud music
Wish you could have given prices of beers at the bar
$1.50 USD
what gopro are u using ?

Those rich houses is from a corrupt money, their heart is evil and they’re not that friendly like poor people. Treason and not good to made friends with.
When people become rich, they become selfish. Thanks for the video, Marco.
9:18 Girl quotes him 2,500 riel for the coffee, which Mr Black - hesitating a bit - translated as 3,000 riel. Pretty sneaky 😅
Lol someone else said that, but I dunno maybe he said it for a tip to be nice?
He’s a good guy!’
Nothing is sneaky here, four quarters to a dollar is common practice worldwide for convenience and simplicity in counting translation. Only stupid peoples would try to calculate exact currency exchanges in their minds and translate something worthless than a quarter. This cheap and for the poor sellers, I always rounded off to the dollar to show my appreciation. Plus, I don't carry local currency and only paper dollars are accepted.
Bullshit 2500 riel is 2500 riel ... not 3000 riel. Let the guy decide himself if he wants to give a 500 riel tip.
I would feel soooo awkward at that local bar. I bet you were happy to leave😂
Haha it was super awkward …. I didn’t get the camera angle right, but when there was about 6 girls who came in and we had to choose one to drink with us 😂
I posted earlier but I copied to post in here. Here is my post about that place. It isn't a bar but a local and mostly men hangout. They asked him if he needs a company. In here, the girl would charge you about $50 an hour of services. But there, it is a free services.
The girl is part of business' services. Company paid her very small salary for serving guests. If she provided you good services, you can give her a tip as a token for her services. A few things you can do with her like sing a son or something but don't try to approach sexual contact. It is illegal to do so. You can speaking dirt with her but don't go too far as mention about sex or something like that (DON'T). It is just enough, for someone who wants to commit suicide because of loneliness changes a mind after enjoy the evening with her.
He was onsite security he would live where you were earlier in the Bronx 😊

Haha really? Ahh well
I like them Hats
I love them! I try to wear some of the headwear in each country I visit
Same story everywhere ain't it the rich are wombles whilst the humble working class are the real deal
The bro! I’ve tried to meet the rich every country, had no success
@@marcoroams I'm not surprised they don't wanna meet you ya Aussie bogan
😂😂😂 yeah I get that!
Marco, The Lonely Planet series makes the point about meeting the real people of a county when you travel third class. It's a universal truth. Bloody suits!
Poor regular villagers are the best! ❤❤
People need to live. Don't judge.

In Cambodia if you walk into there house without permission ,They will call you thief .😊
No kidding😂 In the West, you won't even make it close enough to the door.
# 2 in the rich homes, I bet a lot of the better off poor folks are the servants and gardeners and maids. Not paid well
either.
This is true, the people outside are just house servants, usually the homeowners are out

@@marcoroams very nice picture and sound 😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
At 9:18 she said 2500, not 3000 😅
