Is Cambodia Safe to Visit in 2024?
Переглядів 9 тис.6 місяців тому
Cambodia: It's more safe than you probably think. Being in a new country can be uncomfortable at first, and tourists and expats tend to irrationally fear for their safety. How does the safety of Cambodia compare to more developed countries? As someone living in Siem Reap, Cambodia for over a year, and I have both statistics and life experiences to decisively answer this question. I discuss both...

Getting my rap game on in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Unfortunately, the entire song was not recorded, but you can see that the ladies were loving it!
Are women nice like the Philippines and easy to meet
Yes, I would say so.
Losers come to Asia, run prices up, then brag online how cheap everything is. Now with the US and Europe both tanking, we expats in Asia risk losing solvency from a herd migration and all because of a few loudmouths on youtube.
You are right American is more dangerous then my country Cambodia thank you for like my country Cambodia Khmer I wishing you live healthy life good luck with everything you wishing thank you again God bless you and your family all
Beware of these phoneys with vested interests in promoting countries. They fail to mention the many downsides. And Vietnam and Thailand have much more to offer. Phnon Penh is very expensive now. And in a country filthy hot 6 months of the year, even at night, electricity costs are HIGH. Food and landscape very average as,well.
Propaganda - this country is still littered with land,ones - shame on you for supporting that government.
Assuming that you mean "landmines," there are none in any urban area. You would have to venture pretty deep in the jungle to have any chance at stumbling upon one. You're more likely to win the lottery.

How much are you spending on lady boys per month?

omg Magic: The Gathering. How adorable ^_^ - cheers oun or bong! thanks for showing us. keep it up!
Cool life man.
Your wife said she likes small cucumbers! I about spit out my drink.
how about taxes though? is there a way to go around the 20% tax rate?
I have no idea what you're talking about. If you aren't working, you don't pay any taxes.
@@Allen_in_Asia Yeah, I wasn't talking about your situation, but since you promote living in Cambodia, I wanted to ask you if you have any information about taxes, because for example Thailand has 0% of foreign income if you get an LTR visa, the Philippines has 0% of foreign income in the upcoming digital nomad visa, etc. So I was wondering if Cambodia had similar visas, as Cambodia would be a very valid option to live in South East Asia and I'm looking to relocate towards there. Also Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam etc have a tax treaty with the country where I have citizenship but Cambodia unfortunately does not. I meant no offence!
@@zen5813 I would consult with a tax specialist.
You're hilarious. Keep up the good work. I just subscribed.
nice vlog, and lets just leave the ending to our own imagination
xD
I have lived in SR for 6 years and it's awesome to see places and friends in your videos. Thanks
I have lived in Siem Reap for 7 years and I love this video. THanks for sharing
This market looks great. Where is it?

In recent months there is some indication that Cambodia has changed some of the rules regarding visas, so I can't guarantee that everything in this video is 100% up to date. Later this year, I will speak with my visa agent and make a 2025 edition on visa rules, etc. I say this in a lot of videos, but the best resource for getting up-to-date information on Cambodia is the "Cambodia Expats" and "Cambodia Visas" facebook groups.
Play on Playa. Respect!
Did you get her from a bar or similar business? Very bright girl 😍
lol
What I want to know is how long you can stay and all those things. Do you have a video about it?
Cambodia is very welcoming to foreigners, and you can basically stay as long as you want with the right visa. Watch this video, which is all about visas for Cambodia: ua-cam.com/video/UrYPwpgfFjs/v-deo.html

Nice. Good to know GG still works out there, crazy bad beats and runners and all! Looks like your living “the life” man. 🎉
Pretty interesting look into your daily life! Keep it up with the great videos!
Dude I miss your videos! Glad to see a new post, and I understand you are living your life with your soul-mate, which is more important. Have you seen the SouthPark on Magic, it is genius. Take Care!
good dance moves brother:)
He's back! 💪🏿 Funny ending too! 😂 Keep telling the world about how awesome Cambodia is! 👍🏿
Can I ask, how did you retire at 33? My assumption is you saved up a certain amount of money and then just left the US. Could you make a video on “how to retire early” or something similar?
I'm not sure if it's a good idea for me to make "financial advice" type videos on UA-cam. There are tons of more qualified people already making videos on financial topics. I recommend both The Plain Bagel and Ben Felix on UA-cam. Their content is both practical and well-researched. As for how I retired so early, it boiled down to me finding a high-paying job and then saving 75% of my income. There's no magic formula to retiring early other than "spend a lot less than you make." If you have a more specific inquiry, let me know.
@@Allen_in_Asia cheers :)
Oh - Allen..... Avatar 2 last year in Lexington Ky. - cost me $18.00 (!) -- I'm old and rarely go - but had to see this one - waited a long time. -- I just about - sh*t - when I saw the afternoon weekday price !!! > Didn't buy anything else there - prices were ridiculous and I'm on SS. - - - If I could take the heat - I'd take Siem Reap - anyday ! All is good there from what I can tell watching from the US only - never been there - but - really like what I see in all the videos coming from there - by several of you all living there & visiting. 🤗 Dave in Cambodia - For Reil - YOU - and - several others.
If you want to see more "slice of life" style content, let me know by commenting, as this isn't something that I've done a lot so far. Or if there's some other aspect of Cambodia that you want to learn more about, you can comment below as well.
I'd like more of this.
it's spiffy! gitterdun!
Keep having fun
That's 100% Cambodian
that is where he lives! :)
Just to clarify…….you can stay long term and work with an EB Visa? But you can’t work with a retirement visa?
Correct, you cannot work on a retirement visa.
@@Allen_in_Asia so you can work with an EB visa…..does that give you a yearly renewal. Also is their tax involved for casual work at night? Thank you
Visa on arrival uses a whole page of your passport plus 2 stamps. The online doesn't.
What if you have dark skin but are a US citizen?

Slaves?
What would be the coolest area temperature wise to live in Cambodia I currently live in Australia and summers are awful when it’s 40 odd degrees
Be careful Cambodia is infiltrated by criminal gangs, scammig is an industry in Cambodia. Cambodia police check homes in Cambodia for illegal internet access. Scamming is prohibited in Cambodia.
Great to the point video, thanks!
Western woman suck...a constant "RBF" resting bitch face...
2:52 Are you sure the tourist visa can be extended up to 90 days ? I'm quite sure it can only extend for another 30 days...
Welcome to Cambodia 🤗.
