  Vietnam does NOT have a retirement visa. Cambodia has an easy to obtain retirement visa compared to Thailand.  End of story!

  Yes, I'm agree regarding the traits of Cambodian. I'm a Filipino, but I consider that Khmer people are more friendlier, hospitable, and sweet rather than Filipinos.

  Fellow Canadian here.  I was born in Phnom Penh and our family fled to the refugee camps in Thailand when I was three.  We spent five years in two different camps there.  We were the last few refugees to be sponsored by the Canadian government.  We landed and stayed in Toronto.  This is home….but the motherland will always pull on my heartstring.  Your body remembers the place of its birth I swear.   The sound, the smell, the energy is imprinted onto you…I had the most amazing trip traveling around Cambodia in 2019 with my mom and her sisters.  I’m waiting for them to plan another one soon so I can tag along. I am aching to go back. That’s how I stumbled on your channel.  Great video! Very funny and informative.  I agree with you that we are an easy going group to people.  Deeply traumatized, but spiritual, resilient, generous, polite and easy going.  I think our strongly rooted customs, traditions and Thervada Buddhist upbringing are what keeps us grounded and in the present moment.

  I've traveled to Vietnam a few times and want to go back and see more of the country. Very diverse and the food is great. But after each trip I come back to Cambodia and breathe a sigh of relief. Cambodia is just more relaxed especially out of the big city. But I am sure there are chill places to live in Vietnam if you get out of the big cities.

  I worked 3 months in Ho Chi Minh (at 100m from the Cathedral) and had a beautiful modern studio (in Tao Diem- District 2), it was one of the biggest disappointments out of 56 years of travels: traffic, no sidewalks (destroyed, cars parked on it, employees of supermarkets screaming instead of speaking with which other, 4 hours drive to so the 120km to the nearest beach, people not smily, and I ate better viet food abroad!). I resigned my contract. I live in Cambodia now for more than a year and I will stay here.

  This is my first video to research about moving to Cambodia. Your description of the locals sounds ideal. I will check your other videos, thank you!

  The number of people per square kilometer makes a big difference. Thanks for highlighting this difference.

  Eleven years ago I took part in a charity cycle ride across Vietnam and Cambodia. It never dawned on me at the time but after hearing your comparison of the friendliness of the people from both countries it actually made me realise how much more friendly the Cambodian people were, I'm still n touch with the guy we had as our guide in Cambodia and he was/is such a genuinely pleasant guy. I also found Cambodia as a whole to be a much more pleasant experience and I'd definitely prefer to go there again over Vietnam.
