welcome to cambodia
it is a beautiful country that offers a lot when it comes to beauty treatments as well as
spas and massages so i thought instead of the usual one i'll give you two choices this time
have you checked out my cambodia travel guide yet if not i would definitely recommend
checking it out because it will help you a lot during your stay the link is above
so the first spa i am at is called farangipani and it is in siem reap and i'm just sitting here
with my welcome drink and i am just gonna get a nice little foot bath and then we continue to
our journey through this beautiful relaxation it's my last day here and i really needed to decompress
get rid of layers of sunscreen and all the grime and sweat so this is the perfect choice
if you want to come and experience this it's a really cute little spa it's not like the
big resorts but it's absolutely beautiful and they offer a really great variety of treatments
i'll take you through some of them with me so let's start the journey this is my welcome drink
look how it changes color with oh my god okay that's
cool the first item on the list is a herbal bath so
just gonna wait for the foot bath and then we go there
the first step in this beautiful journey of rejuvenation is a herbal bath now this
is not just some water that's been filled with flowers it is herbal bath which means
the water has been carefully prepared with a lot of herbs and to make you feel absolutely
beautiful flowers have been added so i'm gonna enjoy this for 30 minutes then we'll talk more
for my second treatment i chose yogurt and rice scrub which helped with that sun damaged skin
before my massage i took a nice outdoor shower which was actually really refreshing for the
massage i chose the tropical massage which is without oil because i really
wanted to feel my muscles being worked on and she made it absolutely perfect without any time wasted
on anything that wasn't needed the last treatment was their signature facial which was no different
than the rest of the treatments absolutely perfect and on point my skin glowed for days
i just finished my last treatment which was a facial look how amazing my skin looks i love it
and i feel light as a butterfly i don't know why but i kept thinking light as a butterfly
maybe because i feel beautiful
so i will take you to the next spot and then we'll talk more when you're back from there
hello from the cutest spa in cambodia i am in samantha spa in the capital city of phnom penh
in cambodia you know their neighbors thais are famous for their massage and wellness
while the cambodians are no less so i am here and i'm really enjoying this beautiful experience
so i thought i'd share it with you so let's start the tour of this beautiful little spa
got a cool towel which is really helpful after coming from outside and a nice welcome drink
so i was going to talk to you about jet lag and it is something that you know obviously has
quite a lot of impact on your body because you know we all have cycadian rhythm which
is our body's clock and when you move time zones it gets disturbed so there's a few
tips that i've learned so it doesn't prolong probably gonna get it no matter who you are one
don't drink alcohol when you're going on a plane don't take valium don't take any of these you know
tablets that make you sleepy because then you're sleeping on the plane and then when you actually
get to the destination your body is still in that time zone whereas when i sit on a plane i think of
the next destination when i get here i eat and drink according to the local time lunch dinner
breakfast and i sleep according to local time no matter how much i feel like i need to go to bed so
caffeine really helps a lot in that staying awake but before you go don't drink any caffeine
drink a lot of water and again for the for the first couple of days avoid alcohol
all these things together they really helped me fight the jet lag i usually get it for a
couple of days maximum and then after that i'm absolutely adjusted to the new plates i really
hope these tips help you as well when you get to cambodia especially if you're coming from far
i would definitely recommend picking the khmer massage which is without oil and no it is not thai massage
because thai is more about stretching and bending and this one is more about using the weight of
the masseuse and they use that to relax your muscles to let them open
i've had my massage and i am sitting in my rightful place i finally feel like i've gotten
to where i should belong right this is perfect for me so it was great the massage was amazing
we did about 30 minutes of khmer followed by 60 minutes of oil massage and i feel like that was
great i used lemongrass oil which is my favorite smell out of all the asian smells it's really nice
and i also really loved it because they left this tap running and just kind of have this really nice
relaxing feeling because i love water it's sort of my it's my element and it really helps relax me
i had my massage i'm gonna sit in this have my fill and then i'm gonna head out
so what did you think of the second spa did you like it or did you love it
so if you're wondering why i did the bath first in the first spa and later in the second spot i
will tell you the reason so in the first spa i was preparing my body for the scrub to open
the pores and that's why i did the bath first in the second spa i had the oil massage and i
used the bath to actually clean up all that oil and feel refreshed and to get rid of that jet lag
so that's the reason but before i go i need to talk to you about one more thing which is really
serious and that is sex tourism and how a lot of these spas have to deal with sex tourists it's not
a pleasant topic but it needs to be talked about because if you are going to do something like this
please think about it these are women at work men women they deserve all the respect like we
expect to be respected when we are at our work so please don't make any unwanted advances
and even if you are coming for the sake of sex tourism remember these are things that lead to
sex trafficking and a lot of these women who work in this industry go through some really
horrible times so please be respectful please be nice this is brown boy travels i really
