Siem Reap Cambodia. What to Expect in the Most Popular City of Cambodia?

A funny story, I went to Siem Reap in 2002 and it was a sleepy village in the jungle. I got in by bus from Bangkok late at night so I found a guesthouse, down an alley behind a school. There was a Citgo gas station opposite where I bought water and cigarettes. A year later I was back at my job, cutting trees down in Pennsylvania, and on one job the homeowner wanted to talk to me. He was very proud because he had travelled. He told me that he had built a Citgo gas station in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Before I could stop myself I said, "Not the one on Charles De Gaulle Road, opposite the school?" I have never seen anyone so surprised in my life.

Thank for visiting Cambodia. Love your channel. Like many others, I was born into the war raised during it. As you can imagine the horror we had to see as a child. For the first 14 years of my life. the memories still lives on. At that time the whole country was in a complete darkness. Seeing your show how people are interacting with one another buying and selling. such a total difference world. Not the country I was once knew. My hope and dreams, is that one day I would be able to go back and live there without fear from the past.🙏

Great tips to share this to the world as a genocide survivor myself from 1975 to 1979 and most of my family members did not survive. We grew up in PP City then were forced to the countryside to work in the rice fields and most of them died from starvation and exhaustion. Only memories live on. Be mindful and be kind whenever possible. Happy travels from Khmer in the US!

I’m a Cambodian. I grown up in the Phnom Penh city. However my love for Siem Reap land always be so extraordinary. It’s always be my magical land. The local are super friendly. People there are living in peace they love one another and live in a calm, respectful and less competitive life. It’s the place where I can find both combination between ancient traditional rich culture of my own combine with luxury and cool life style amazing food is a plus. The temples are so much more than the stone. They represent my beautiful cultures. The nature there is absolutely memorable. Many big trees 🌳 huge river beautiful mountains that’s absolutely Beautiful.

Great video of Seam Riep. Great shows of Angkor Wat Temples. Great shot if Night Market and countryside. Hopefully, I'll meet Al someday. Thanks.

You have such a relaxing way to chat with people. Thank your for your abundant, fine drone overviews and your --- beyond-the-tourist-bubble --- interviews. I am familiar with greater Siem Reap --- but about 12 years ago. I stayed in the original Golden Temple Villa for about $15 a night --- near the old market. Fun and friendly staff indeed!

Lovely people, beautiful country. I really enjoyed that video. Thank you. 👍

I loved Siem Reap, and it's great to see a video of someone showing other temples than just ankor wat
