Hi Guys,
I'm living in Phnom Penh. In my videos, i'll try to show you some nice places
that are not yet discovered by tourists.
And i'll show you very nice and cheap restaurants
Please subcribe and don't miss next videos...
We are at riverside now.
You will see the river on the left side
But actually, this is not Mekong River that you see in riverside area
This is Tonle Sap River
Tonle Sap River is connecting Tonle Sap Lake to the Mekong River
You can get best view of the Mekong River from Koh Pich Area.
You can also see Mekong River from Royal Palace area.
I'll make a video about Koh Pich soon.
Koh Pich is very nice and cheaper than this touristic Riverside
let's walk a little bit faster... I'll show you something.
Look at the river carefully.
It's flowing to the left. To the north....
But mekong River is at the right side...
Tonle Sap River meets Mekong River at the corner of the hotel that you see now on the right side.
Tonle Sap River is flowing reverse now.
During dry season, Tonle Sap River drains Tonle Sap Lake to The Mekong River.
During the wet monsoon season of June to November,
the high waters of the Mekong River reverse the flow of the Tonle Sap River
and increase the size of the Tonle Sap Lake. (it is known khaleesi)
Btw, Tonle Sap means Great Lake in Khmer Language.
Make way for the khaleesi...
(update...) Koh Pich video is ready. You can click the card at the end of this video.
as i told you before, Koh pich is very nice and cheaper than this touristic riverside
You should see Koh Pich, it's my favorite place in Phnom Penh.
Freelancer seats on both sides.
Phnom Penh is a very nice city and Khmer people are very hospitable
Phnom Penh's population is over 2m.
There are traffic jams at rush hour.
It's better to choose moto taxis as vehicle of transport , not tuktuks during these hours.
Tuktuks may stuck in a traffic jam.
and moto taxis are always cheaper
Weather in Cambodia is always hot.
So, you don't need clothing for different seasons in Cambodia.
A few shorts and t-shirts are enough .
But, for girls, situation is a little bit different :)
All the girls in Cambodia want to be white as European, Korean or Japanese girls :)
So, they don't wear t-shirts or shorts during the day
they don't want to get a tan.
In afternoon, they change their clothes.
Gym time...
You can see these gym people all around Cambodia, it's very nice
in few minutes you will see gym equipment.
They like it. But not for me, no... It's still very hot. I prefer to walk.
If you like walking, be careful during monsoon season.
It's better to have a raincoat with you
But during dry season there is no problem. (november to may)
Cambodia was a French Colony in the past
There are a lot of colonial buildings in Phnom Penh, specially around Riverside.
These are tour boats
A sunset tour for 1-3 hours, included dinner and some drinks is for about 20-35 dollars.
the prices depend on what they provide (dinner-drinks)
and of course depends on your bargaining skills:)
I told you, Cambodia is very hot country.
So, Cambodian people like to get outdoors
All the parks are crowded by the afternoon
And they like to eat outside
The city is full of street food stalls.
Some of the street food is really really tasty.
My favorite one is Char Siu Pork. It's Delicious.
I have one Char Siu video, you can click the card on the right corner to watch it.
Yes, these are gym equipment.
I should open a protein shake stall here :)
Idk what else to say , i'll edit this later.
But you can comment for any questions
I'll try to reply asap
Don't forget to subscribe for nice and cheap places/restaurants.
I'll keep making videos that will be useful for budget travels.
Thanks for watching. Cya...
