BUDDYMOON DAY 549/1000 (VLOG 157)
We have finally made it to the capital of Cambodia known as Phnom Penh. This city has a rich history and one that we were keen to explore.
Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s busy capital, sits at the junction of the Mekong and Tonlé Sap rivers. It was a hub for both the Khmer Empire and French colonialists, but it has a dark side. In 1975, a guy by the name Pol Pot, a communist, decided to evacuate the whole city and aimed to kill everyone who was linked to the old government or has educated, so basically an Asian Hitler.
He brought these people to a primary school which he converted into a torture centre known as Tuol Sleng, S21 prison. Here, he tortured people to right their confessions of who they knew so Pol Pot could find more people that he believed should be killed.
Our visit to Phnom Penh was not only to understand it's history but also to explore it a little as a first timer in the great city and see what it's like being a tourist in Phnom Penh. We also had a mission of wanting to find Lok Lak to eat and find a boat on which we could take a sunset cruise down the Mekong and Tonle Sap river.

THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!
Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE and join us on our adventures:)
The blue flag represents the symbol of the King. So these 3 flags correlate to our country motto which are nation, religion, and king. Hope this help and welcome to Cambodia ❤
Our country has a king?
Yes why didn’t you know?
My husband and I watched your video while our daughter was on a bus ride from Sisophon to Phnom Penh. I usually find couple travel vlogs rather “look at me, look at me” but I really enjoyed yours and look forward to watching more. Safe travels💚🇦🇺
Hope she enjoyed the bus ride, let us know what she thought of Phnom Penh😁 so glad you enjoyed our video and we like to show what places are like and you would possibly experience when going to a place😁 look forward to showing you more😁
Really good to see you guys exploring all parts of a country. S21 was a real shocker for us when we visited. The killing fields was even worse.
We wanted to go the killing fields but did not have the time😳 hopefully next time we can go😁
I am so happy when I see you come in my country. I am so proud of you.❤❤❤ I love Cambodia ❤❤
Thank you for making this video it was an eye opening that this was going. I learn alot about Phnom, Penh, Cambodia
So glad we could teach you something about Cambodia😁 but Phnom Penh was a pretty cool city😁😁
This will make it easier to watch videos so that there will be no need to go through the playlist of one country.
warm welcome to CAMBODIA 🇰🇭♥️ please enjoy your great time here.
Thank you! 😃
I haven’t been on UA-cam for a long time. Today I went to your page and was pleasantly pleased that the number of your subscribers has increased tenfold. Well done! Indochinese countries are your favorite, you love being here and I understand you. Now this is the most dynamically developing region. years In five years you can visit these countries again, it will be a completely different place, more modern.
Thanks for sharing your great experience in Cambodia. We hope to see you guys in the future. Oh by the way, the barber did a wonderful job on your hair. Looks very professional, it didn’t look like the barber from the street-:)
How good was the Barber😁 we were super impressed. Glad you enjoyed the video and keen to show you more of our travels😁
Luck Lak sounds more exciting than Burger King or Texas Chicken, as I’m about to eat lunch here in Canada. Wishing you both safe travel on to your next adventure ❤ 🙏🏻 🍲
You should visit Koh Rong and Koh Song Saa with beautiful scenery
Welcome to Cambodia ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much😁
Thanks god finally you found Lok Lak
My mom was born and Cambodia. Also long time ago they don’t have phone and there’s a lot of motorcycles and less cars.
Thanks you so much❤
WOW amazing places sharing I love this thank you
Thanks for sharing the video.
Great video as always guys! Never stop.
Thanks so much and we wont😁😁
Hello, I like your nice travelling in Phnom, Penh, Cambodia. I wish you to get the food Luk Lak and enjoy your nice journey
You should watch the whole video😜
I have been watching and following you guy from day one. And I love it . But one request, you guys need to upload more videos cos waiting for 10 or 8 days sometimes it’s too long.😊
You guy are kewl and have a safe trip wherever you go ❤
As always cool video & super cool both of you 😎❤️.
And finally you found the destination " lok lak & mok" 😋. Big 👍 .
Super thanks for this vlog!😘
So glad you enjoyed the video, quite a unique city and enjoyed it so much there😁😁
A stunning location holds some unsettling historical events😨. I do what Daniel did when I come across many pigeons🐦😂😂. Cool haircut bro... 😅
Cambodian pigeon😂😂 thanks man👍😜
In the Hospital Calmete has a restaurant Domrey Sor delicious Lok Lak between 5$ to 6$
Thanks you for visiting Cambodia 🇰🇭❤❤
God bless you guys for this content and information🤍🤍
about the flag, the blue one is the king flag.
I enjoy watching your video. That second tuktuk driver definitely tried to sell you out to his friends restaurant. Also, if you go into most of the restaurants at the riverside walk, they most definitely have lok lak
Nice work there matey 👍🏖️
I enjoy your videos so much ❤..pls upload more and more videos
So glad you enjoy them😁 we will upload more😁
I am a Cambodian but your videos is really useful for the knowledge and tourism
The prison story was very sad
Watching you get your haircut, reminds me of the best haircut I ever had. Back street in Istanbul, by an old man and two pairs of very fast scissors ✂️
Us men cut hair so often that we forget it can also be an experience sometimes😜 im sure u will never forget that haircut in Istanbul😜
@@thebuddymoon it’s strange how you remember details of uneventful events like that.
Cheers and hope to have many more episodes of the Buddy Moon 🌙
thank so much your video about my city
Thanks brother and sister you are the best love visit Cambodia 🇰🇭. Thanks
Great description and sensitive coverage Buddymoon, get a few beers for Xmas or stick it in the Drone fund. That's why you need to go back to Asia for the Drone shots
Cambodian history is scary… we never knew about it and thats why wanted to show others😁 oh no, it’s definitely added to the drone fund, we want to showcase our next country😜😁😁
Nice video, thanks for visiting Phnom Penh. Don't forget to try Phnom penh kuey teav noodle soup.
Greetings from native Khmer in Vietnam.
I was going to come meet you guys when you back in SA, but now no no. Cause you visited so many torture places, you guys know how to toture .. I am so scared🤪
Hahhaa we have not visited many torture places😂😂 but yes, the S21 prison was crazy😳
@@thebuddymoon you have, what about the serious one on the Indian owned Island. Omg 😳
Emotional story
Sweet couple, welcome to Cambodia and thanks for made this video of my country, I seen in your video of the places I used to be there and grow up there. Oh by the way the flag you mentioned is ( Royal Standard Of Cambodia Flag )
Have a wonderful fun safe trip and next trip.
Thanks for visiting my country,...and showing Cambodia to the world about Pol Pot regime,.
enjoy your trip
Also fly Phnom Penh
Omg, did you even get to eat lunch lol? Sorry, for that tuk tuk driver who told you there wasn't lok lak around. There is probably lok lak in every single restaurant on the river front.
I like your all your videos ❤ you guys are ❤sweet each other
Many more to come😁😁
My homeland i know its very well but thank you for showing around🙏🙏
Our pleasure😁
Puppy puppy puppy puppy............... 😂 that was cute
Love puppies😂😂😍
Kambhoji or Kambodhi is a popular Raga in Carnatic Music. The scale of Kambhoji is also said to have been derived from Cambodia. The original name of Cambodia is 'Kambhoja' kingdom.
enjoy your video
So glad you enjoyed it😁
Thank you for making this video to the world. Most people don't understand how Cambodia went through darker history again and again. Khmer Rouge was the worst in the history, they killed all scholars, scientists, professors, teachers, engineers and anyone associated with the west. People just don't understand that Cambodia comes a long way and expected it to well comparing to the neighboring countries. They look down to Cambodians as uneducated, they need to understand the Cambodian histories. You guys show them what happened. Good Job!
Exactly why we wanted to show people want went on, such a sad history but such a big improvement since then😁 Loved Cambodia and the country as only good and kind people in it❤️
Great video! Thanks for sharing guys. I don't get it. Half million subscribers - Get's 20k views. Very strange.
You are all videos verry ❤❤❤ I love this
I recommend you trying Texas chicken it's actually really good try the wrap there is also a deal you can buy so good to bad i can't eat it anymore im in another country :'(
that was a brutal prison
This was my former high school and I had to live through the Pol Pot killing machine. Most of my family members did not survive. Only memory lives on. It's seemed just like yesterday. Enjoy your trip. Peace out from a genocide survivor🎉
Welcome to Cambodia🇰🇭💖
I've been to Phnom Penh twice and I had to laugh at this video because Lok Lak was my absolute favorite dish in Cambodia! I felt your pain when you couldn't find any! I'm going back in January of 2024 and will be on the search for Lok Lak again! LOL!
Truly sad what happened… grateful to be living in a place of peace. I totally agree, riding a tuk tuk or a local transport always feels more adventurous and fun!
You guys are doing a great job, I loved watching your videos. I started following you guys after watching your Sri Lanka video when you all got ganged up by honey bees. After that I took a trip to the 6 arc bridge. Now you've inspired me to take a trip to Cambodia
Oh goodness, the bees😜 never want to experience that again😳 but so glad we inspire you to go places, it’s what we want to do😁 Cambodia is amazing, we loved it❤️
Cambodia is looks Amazing place to live there. ❤😊
Thank you for your holiday in Cambodia ❤
Enjoyed the video :)
Thank you!
BTW, the flag Leanne pointed at is called the "Buddhist flag"
Oh is that the Buddhist flag, thanks so much😁 now we know😁
I Love you guys ❤❤❤

❤
welcome សួស្ដី(Su sadai)

Miss you Mr.Polpot
❤❤❤❤

love from india😍
សូមស្វាគមន៍❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Welcome Cambodian ❤😊
when I left s21 I wasn't in a cheerful lunch eating mood, made me so sad that people could do this to each other
welcome to Cambodia ❤️🫶
Toul Sleang or S21 museum Cambodian call that place, The 9 floor of Hell.
At last you Find look Luck
Many Thai cultures in Cambodia.
I love her and accent 😬
Have seen you guys in India ❤ 🇮🇳
Pls upload videos every 2 days
We trying our best to upload more 😁
😢😢😢😢😢
big fan from India
Danny, those actually aren’t Cambodian Pigeons.
They are undocumented Vietnamese Pigeons. They flew away from you, cuz they thought you were an immigration agent!
😂😂😂😂
Oh no, not the Vietnamese Pigeon😂😂😂
如果我没记错的话，s21监狱入口有禁止拍摄警示标志。
The prison sounds horrifying, and the fact that by killing everyone who was educated set the country back by about 50 years because there were no doctors, teachers or engineers left.
The dodgy motorcycle taxi that took you to the expensive restaurant is like the ones in Thailand that insist you visit a silk factory and tailor, no matter how much you insist that you don't need a lime green tuxedo.
It was so funny that after travelling around the city looking for specific food it was available in your own hotel. But travel is about adventures.
How scary the Cambodian history, cannot believe it😳 but you right about the tuk tuk and glad we finally had Lok Lak😂 and in our hotel out of all places😂😂
They even destroyed the Cambodian culture. The Cambodians literally had to re learn traditional cultural dances!
😢🙏🙏🙏,”
