Really impressive you walked and drove around Battambang City to show the vast differences between the downtown areas and a few blocks away. Crystal clear as night and day. Thanks.
*The US government has named Cambodia as one of the worst countries for human trafficking. According to the United Nations, human trafficking known as a human rights offense often linked to "modern slavery" has 2 forms: forced labor and sex trafficking. The US government described the Cambodian government’s human trafficking law enforcement efforts as “official complicity,” even though an online trafficking victim training course was made available to government officials in 2023. The report says “authorities did not investigate or hold criminally accountable any officials involved in widespread, credible reports of complicity.” Shamefully, Cambodia has been ranked the most corrupt country in Southeast Asia.*
@@NamLe-g5w "Cambodia poor country but has'nt homless than US"??? I don't understand what you're talking about. Your comment doesn't make any sense. Your English is absolutely terrible.
I live in California and have been back to Battambang a few times, staying at my cousin's house. They have a villa/mansion, 5 km away from the central market. I asked them where the wastewater went. They said the sewer pipe went to a field, and the wastewater was scattered there. They still need a wastewater treatment plant. The dirty water you show is likely the wastewater from people's homes.
They have yet to have a municipal wastewater treatment plant for most of the city.,, the sewer is called Stung Sangker and shit goes there and back as food and clothes washing water.
Hmmm.., videos of Siem Reap like a ghost town.., I rented a room in Siem Reap for a month but left in 2 days due to very little tourists.. even Lucky mall closed in SR
Thats why investing in a property in Cambodia from a foreigner would not be a good choice. Unless you have the money to hand to the high rank, you pretty much buying an empty property. who really own the land. Battambang was part of Siam 1907 until when the French colonization they gave it back. There is not title to the land for anyone but to the Kings on either side.
I wouldn’t know unless I gave it a try.. definitely not recommending to anyone outside of Cambodia even within Cambodia unless they are really sure of the person they dealing with.
What are you doing in Cambodia???Every bumpy roads are part of your destiny. In order to grow, you will encounter the good, bad and ugly!!! Seems like Cambodia isn’t part of your world, just pack & leave. Cambodia peoples way of life is not for everyone. Stop focusing on the negative. Enjoy every moment.
Well when you get scammed $26k and more it’s not that easy just to say pack up and leave. If I don’t provide a voice for those who can’t stand up for themselves, what’s the point of living life on your knees.
focusing on negativity is crucial to improvement that also applies to everything you do in life its common sense If Cambodia youth has the same mindset as you, this country aint going nowhere
It’s never a bad location since the Thais , French and Vietnamese saw potential in Battambang.. it’s the number one rice growing provinces in Cambodia . Stop blaming locations for its problems.. its problems stems from the Top not the location.
@@urbansurvivorguy and yet, why can’t I import it to the USA and sell it? Because of bad logistics and not profitable. It’s only possible to transport on roads to export through Bangkok or Mekong through Vietnam. By the time it reaches a container it’s twice as expensive as Vietnamese or Thai rice. So Khmer can only sell to Cambodia not to the international market.
@@urbansurvivorguy the interior of any country is harder to do business. Look at the mid west vs coastal us cities. Look at Laos n Mongolia and Afghanistan. U need ocean access for trade.
@@chaya973 According to the Cambodia Rice Federation website, 71% of exports goes to China, EU, and England. 13% goes to Asean countries. I suspect some Cambodia rice going through Thai and VN traders are relabeled as "premium" Thai/VN rice. I snagged some new growth rice fresh off a farm in Kampot and it was so good.
Criticizing your own country is not a good idea to get the views. Your knowledge seems to be lacking regarding the country infrastructure and government. The country doesn't collect too muckh taxes from their people. It's a 3rd world and they government seems to be doing pretty good trying to rebuild it. Just give the country some credits. BRO!!!! 🫏😊
Talking is okay in a free world, if committing violent act then it’s not okay. Freedom of speech must be respected anywhere in the world, but some people/gov’t not allowed. Why?

Definitely fits the description..
Cambodia poor country but has'nt homless than US

😂😂😂 only phnom penh and sihanouk ville have municipal wastewater treatment. @urbansurvivorguy
People only go to visit the city, nobody wants to visit the outskirts.
If people want authentic Khmer life they explore the outskirts where real Khmer life takes place.. the city is just commercialization
The quality of the roads are bad once you get outside of the city. Literally bumpy and dusty roads. I had nausea over this.
All the tourists posted on the UA-cam most of them at Phnom Penh and Seim Reap .
Hmmm.., videos of Siem Reap like a ghost town.., I rented a room in Siem Reap for a month but left in 2 days due to very little tourists.. even Lucky mall closed in SR
welcome to Battambang city
Thanks brother.. trying to make it a better city to live in.

I had to find out the hard way.. wouldn’t know until you tried.. better off renting in South East Asia and invest online in websites and e-commerce
I wouldn’t know unless I gave it a try.. definitely not recommending to anyone outside of Cambodia even within Cambodia unless they are really sure of the person they dealing with.
I miss the nasty sewer smell mixed in with the burning smoke 😂
It still here.. it will be here again when you visit.
Water right there is for washing and cooking
Why so many people get sick in Cambodia.. hospitals make so much money

I want to swim 🏊♀️ in there 😂😂😂
You the man fisherman!
And rabies dog everywhere
Videos show it all.. I don’t dare walk the streets and possibly get bit.
Same in Thailand
Hi
Hello
បាត់ដំបង is boring
Some people prefer quiet and boring over hectic city life.
Battambang got the ugliest statue!
Ugly is how people’s perception.. what may be ugly to you.. could be beautiful for others.. I just see it as a statue of my city of birth.
A city that’s bad location once again, but it was necessary as a military post to keep the Thais from encroaching too close into Cambodia.
It’s never a bad location since the Thais , French and Vietnamese saw potential in Battambang.. it’s the number one rice growing provinces in Cambodia . Stop blaming locations for its problems.. its problems stems from the Top not the location.

If you don't want Battambang just give it to us. We will make it great again. ❤🇹🇭🤝

So you want to be like North Korea, Russia and Iran where you can’t criticize what is wrong? Everything perfect here in Cambodia!
Keep telling it how it is, my friend.
I don’t think he’s criticizing he’s telling his story through his lens
@@courtneysaroeuy3072 I guess he’s not seeing enough to project through his lenses
