“Where are the drugs at?” Entrance is over there .💀

Inhaling some baloon gas in 1 bar in Phnom Penh hardly makes Cambodia the most hedonistic country on Earth.

Hey Sabbatical, I literally just left there! Too bad we weren’t able to cross paths there. I had an amazing time… great video and eager to see your further adventures!

So happy to see you upload another video, was getting a little worried that you haven't posted in a while. Looking forward to your next adventure at sihanoukville!

14:00 dude was so impressed by his Chinese but respectfully answered the question first before complimenting him.

Tommy, what a great collaboration! I enjoy watching you spend time with your friends.

Thanks for the Adventure Tommy. it was real fun, loved the relaxed attitude, yet you still managed to teach us something and show off your Chinese :) Looking forward to the next one....Peace

I like his vids but this one didnt sit well with me. He felt out of character. Came off rather rude and disrespectful compared to his usual smart, thoughtful, and calm self.

Dedicated viewer here! Thank you again for your wonderfully unvarnished peek into another fascinating corner of the world. Just yesterday a friend suggested we go to Angkor Wat. I’m now on board! Much love to you. I look forward to learning more about how Chinese mafias are impacting Cambodia.

This video is a joy to watch, as usual, Tommy! It was really interesting to learn about the local perspectives on Cambodia's hedonistic reputation and how it compares to other Southeast Asian countries. I'm a travel vlogger and can't wait to visit Cambodia soon to document my experience there as well.🇰🇭

I really like your videos and direct style and useful information. Onwards!!

Would love to visit that giant temple atleast once in my life! That’s a very cool piece of the past right there. I’ve always been so fascinated by those kind of ancient structures/sites.

Thank you for the video Safe Travels

I watched a documentary about Angkor Wat and researchers have made new discoveries on the size of AK using GPR ...Ground Penetrating Radar which shows sub surface structures like old foundations and outlines of pools and water delivery systems etc. That were ahead of their time.

Cambodia is possibly the best country in SE Asia, no language barrier like Thailand/Vietnam/Myanmar etc because most Khmer speak English, Medical & Pharmacy/Drug stores everywhere with no prescription necessary, most Restaurants list Menu in Khmer/English unlike Vietnam & Thailand, the Khmer Rouge held back development of Cambodia so there are areas of the country which have not been westernized & a person can get a glimpse of real Khmer culture, in spite of the hardships these people have faced & continue to do so they are a warm & friendly people, Cambodia is definitely worth a visit!

Even though Thailand & Vietnam did not go through what Khmer have i still feel as a westerner that Cambodia is an good place to visit without language barrier like those 2 previously mentioned countries.
