My weekly dose :), thanks
Our pleasure! 😀
Interesting lore on the "ox cart", thanks for sharing with us. It's hot here in Kampot also, Bokor Mountain is a nice cool restbit. Peace :)
Our happy place is Downtown.... aircon, comfortable seats and cheap beer.
Thank you for the new, four more week till am land in siem reap.
Hope you enjoy it! We might be in Australia or Malaysia around that time.
This is a ride I could do. Away from the city and few pedestrians. 😄
So many beautiful rides. Don't recommend doing it in dry season is it's very hot and a dusty.
Even a night walk is a bit hot at the moment. A toasty new year coming up. At least the water throwing ban only applies to vehicles. Sensible really. Keep well
Last night on the roof our fan was slower cooking us, the air was so hot.
Free traveling between the Asian countries would be great. I think Cambodia's tourist industry could benefit. Now it lags behind Vietnam and Thailand and the authorities should make up their mind (as they obviously do!) about the reasons. Definitely it is not due to the people or nature..... Tourists with limited time and small kids are really unhappy when crossing borders and heaps of paperwork has to be controlled in long waiting queues.
Well they could recoup some of the money from a Tourist tax like they do in Malaysia. You just pay it at the hotel, easy revenue maker.
@@ForRiel I fully agree. Ididn't want to claim we tourists from so called developed countries do not have the 35 $ for a visa when travelling SEA. It is more the paperwork on top...
Happy Healthy Wealthy Lucky Successful Khmer New Year 👏🤩👍
You too! 😇
Another Wonderful Adventure on the Scooter Thank You Claire & Jeremy🙂❤👍Watching from Canada🙂
Thanks! 😃
Always appreciate this!
No problem at all 😆
Great scooter ride while getting news updates!! Wonderful! 😊😊
Glad you like them! 👍
Woohoo I'm first to make a comment
Well damn it I missed it by 14 seconds. Great video as always Claire I hope you're all well
🤭@@seanriley8448
Missed it by that much.....
❤
🥰😍🤩
Nice to have one for multiple countries…
It would be amazing 👏
Great 👍.. looking forward to the year of the dragon 😂🎉🎉
Can't wait!
WONDERFUL ❤❤❤❤
Thanks 🎂 😊
Happy Happy Happy ❤😂🎉
Joy joy joy 😊
Yes! This was fun. Between this and the videos while you do the news I feel like I could hop on a bike and get anywhere at this point in SR! I even know where not to turn left. 😂 thank you guys for your great videos. Cambodia is at the top of our list for resetting.
Oh yes! Wear a helmet and don't turn left - that should keep you safe from fines. Glad you are enjoying our content, and thanks for watching.
I love these Moto views, so that I can see the areas that you ride around too. Makes me feel like I'm already there! Thank you!
Glad you are enjoying having a look around Siem Reap! Thanks for watching :)
Thanks for sharing about the "Beyond Angkor" meet.
You're welcome. See you there!
Smash the loike button, folks!
I've been hearing about the heat! Summer came early this year?!
Nice news update and leisurely scooter ride.
Good to hear about the New Years rules. Let's see if they're obeyed! Oh only in PP 😅🤷 I'll bring a poncho 😂
Money laundering 🤪 when will they ever learn. Hilarious.
Visa free travel would be nice. Keeping our fingers crossed.
I'll note that air-conditioned restaurant!
Beyond Angkor is great! I've been marking my favorite spots on Google maps via comparison with their site. Looking forward to improvements.
Thanks for the nice scooter ride!
We have been lucky the last few hot season, but it's really heating up now 🔥 🥵 🥞 ♨️
Thank you Claire & Jeremy for more updates in the Kingdom, no visa would be definitely one less worry when sorting out your trip to Cambodia! Also thank you for the two links regarding the stolen artefacts from your vlog Banteay Thom, very interesting to know and very sad.
Thank you, they really did should the extent of the looking. So sad so many countries still have these stolen items. The family should also pay back the money to Cambodia for the illegal sale of those items.
@@ForRiel Totally agree!
Thank you for keeping us up to date 😊
Kudos also for giving Beyond Angkor a mention, lots of useful and interesting info there 👏😄
My pleasure 😊
Happy New Year 🎉
Have a good one 😊
Happy new year! 🥰
Sadly looking a bit hazy. Good to see NR6 looking reasonably quiet though - I always found it something of an unpleasant ride along there. Trucks and buses barreling past with a few inches to spare. Invariably I would end up taking the slower parallel dirt roads through villages, end up getting sidetracked...lol
That was a few months ago, we had a lot of smoke due to burning season. As well people were burning leaves which are plentiful that time of year.
Paul is here
Hello Paul 👋
Thank you for remaining an excellent source for information
Our pleasure! 😀
The common visa could be good or bad. Currently, Fijians get 90 days in Vietnam, 30 days in Malaysia, Cambodia and Lao, but only 14 days in Thailand. If the common visa means 90 days for all, then great, but if it means 14 days for some, then we will stop traveling ASEAN and start traveling South America.
At the moment it's still in the planning stage, but I'm sure they just want your money wherever you're from 🤩
Downtown Eatery & Pub looks very interesting!
Unfortunately it hasn't taken off 😕
Aircon, comfortable chairs and cheap beer 🍺
We love it and the staff are really friendly and helpful.
40. Er me gerd. We're heading over to catch up with the family in 3 weeks time. We're sweating already. Even my Khmer wife!! Still, there's always aircon cafes!! I'm sure we'll survive!!
Maybe it will have dropped a bit in three weeks. I hope so, anyway. Every degree more feels like about 10 in this heat!
I've been subscribed for a while now and I just noticed the various links in your description box. The ABA one is exactly what I'd been looking for, thank you for that! 185 days until I arrive in the Kingdom of Wonder 😊
No problem 😊 Hope you enjoy for time here.
Always enjoy watching Claire,,,,peace and happiness ❤❤❤❤❤
Same to you! 😇
Hot hot hot
🥵🔥 😅
I hope the divider is ok.
It was damaged quite badly 😢 💔
She must have been flying when they hit it, luckily it wasn't a moto. If you can't see a dividers you can't see a small moto
Govern is ridiculous, throwing water is part of tradition smh 🤦♂️
Yeah, I think it will be business as usual in Siem Reap.
it's very hot, my vehicle just got ill this afternoon, now she is in garage T_T I wish it's rain now.
Rain 🌧 would be amazing 😇
❤ 🤫🤔🤗🤗🤗😊😊😊😊😉😇
😊🥰🥰😍🤩
❤😊
🥰😍😇
Happy ride & Happy news - Many Thanks 🙏
Thank you 😊 💓
Have a great day, stay cool, good video
Thanks, you too! The power bill will be a little more for the next few months 💸 💰 🤑
Thank you,❤
You're welcome 😊
It took a while to get out of town!
Not too many lites, so how big is
Siem Reap??? Jim
That's hard to say. It's the second largest City in Cambodia, but most places are only a 10min moto ride away.
Towards the beginning of the video there was a restaurant with the on screen caption "hugely popular breakfast joint". What is the name of that restaurant? Thanks for sharing!
We only know it as the breakfast chicken restaurant 😋 It's packed every morning. Jeremy might go tomorrow to get some.
Thanks. Sounds like a locals place. A few blocks from Angkor High School is one of the Muffin man locations. Across the street and down about a block is a Cambodian soup restaurant. We noticed every morning the street was packed with tuks and motorcycles in front of it. One morning we ventured in and ordered soup and loved it. They charged us $1.00 per bowl and it included hot tea. We never saw any other westerners there but loved the experience.
Chang mai is 103 last two days might hit 107 next week
Luckily we have so many cool places to escape the heat 🥰
G;Day Claire n Big J , I think its way over due for free tourist visas ! , how many family's visit other close countries , start multiplying the cost of visa's alone and theres a huge reason for most not to visit and use money else where , as for the train crash lots need to be done to prevent these horrific scenes , I have attended and seen too many in my service , always bad to watch , any ways don't get too wet ...
Catchya...
So true Maddo, Cambodia 🇰🇭 needs to at least make it easier and faster to get here. It's so easy and cheap to get to Siem Reap from Bangkok ($34 Vlog coming)
@@ForRiel G'Day Claire , Can you imagine how many day trippers from near by countries would benefit Cambodia ?? and yes $20 flights were available !!!
Water Baby ?
The baby born on the boat, boat baby didn't have the same ring to it.
Is that what they call a Water Birth .. lol. Bushyboy Oz
Haha definitely!
I really hate it when a government over reaches and shuts down the fun for their citizens. Water fun during the celebration is a way for people to destress and restart the new year. I doubt the people will obey the silly demand .
I think it will be the same as usual here in Siem Reap. Lots and lots of people who live in Phnom Penh will leave for the provinces.
