    The "Buddha statue" you saw on Bokor Mountain isn't a statue of Buddha, Chai... that's a statue of a female saint known as "Yeay Mao" (Yeay means grandma in Khmer) that's why the statue looks very different from the Buddha statues you've seen before. The locals believe she's a spirit who takes care of travellers and adventurers and interestingly enough, there's a shrine dedicated to her on every main national road that leads to the coastal provinces, but not others region (and I don't know why either lol). Also, you might have already left Kampot, but for those who wish to visit Kampot and experience the local life, I would suggest visiting and spending a night at Kampong Samaki community or Trapaeng Sangke community. They're fishing communities that also provide eco-tourism services and homestay. Everything there is extremely affordable even for us locals and you will help people in the community to thrive and contribute to the protection of mangrove forest in their area. You can plant mangrove, go kayaking, fishing, and join the villagers digging for clams or crabbing at low tide... it's a very peaceful place to take a step back and enjoy nature and simple life.

At least for me. No one knows watching vlogs how lonely it is a vlogger to be in a foreign city, eating alone, talking to his camera. And all the looks you get while doing it, haha.

    We got to spend a night in that hotel some years ago, granted it was unfinished at the time and we pitched our tents in what I presume would become the lobby. Nothing says great night's sleep than cold weather, strong winds rattling your fragile tent, and an uneven concrete floor as a bed. A guard chased us out in the morning 😅.

    Have been recently watching several of your travel videos which are very awsome.
    I will be go to Cambodia in november this year, its already decided that after Phnom Phen next destination will be Kampot, i have two questions.
    1. How are the beaches in Kampot?
    2. Best way to travel to Koh Rong (planned as my next destination after Kampot) from Kampot?
    Best regards

    Your Bokor Hill trip --- was just begging for easy, but DRAMATIC drone shots.
    BECOME A DRONE-MASTER PHOTOGRAPHER --- like Paddy Doyle, Itchy Boots, Ben Brown, Lost le Blanc, Kristian Hansen, and Indigo Traveller --- just to name a few fellow vloggers. Your gift of gab is superior to theirs --- but these drone experts --- drown you out of viewers --- because of their Magic Bird drone expertise. Get the drone going --- and fly to 100k subscribers. Sorry you skipped Koh Rong and Kep.

    To be honest I love watching these videos about Southeast Asia but it's always amazing that no one will ever say anything bad about the countries in general. Cambodia has a serious drug problem especially among the youth. So much so it made the Phnom Penh Times when I was there 4 years ago. It's the elephant in the room no one will mention. And every city in Cambodia is rife with young male homosexual junkies who hang out everywhere on the streets at night and scare away all the families, women, couples and children. Literally there's like no regular people who walk around at night unless they're in a well lit and heavily populated area. Compare that to 8 years ago when you'd see regular people out at all hours and the atmosphere was non-threatening. Families, young couples, single women and children were out late because it was safe almost anywhere. There was a convenience store near my hotel in Phnom Penh where a bunch of young male homosexual methheads would hang out all night with blazing red eyes giving every male who walked in "the eye" and it was just normal in Cambodia. Even during the day at the largest shopping mall in Phnom Penh the men's public toilet had literally been turned into a gay brothel with young guys (again with blazing red eyes like a demon) hanging around the sink area giving guys "the eye" and you could see people going in and out of toilet stalls like a revolving door two at a time like it was completely normal. I complained to security because children and families were using the bathroom too and security didn't seem to care or couldn't do anything about it. The young male homosexual drug addicts seem to have carte blanche to do whatever they want in Cambodia and Thailand today and I won't be back after that spectacle.
