About this video
Welcome to the REAL Siem Reap, Cambodia - no filters, no fancy editing, just authentic life in this beautiful but sweltering city! 🇰🇭
In this unscripted tour, I'm taking you along on a midday grocery run to Angkor Market during the hottest part of the day (spoiler: it was a mistake). You'll see what daily life is actually like for someone living here, not the polished tourist version you usually see online.
What You'll Experience:
Brutal midday heat and why locals cover up (learn from my mistakes!)
Angkor Market tour - the best Western grocery store in Cambodia with incredible international selection
- Real price comparisons on imported goods (that UK laundry detergent though... 😅)
- Authentic city streets during siesta time when it's too hot for most people
- Local culture insights - from UV protection fashion to why everyone stays indoors at midday
- Heritage Walk area and the beautiful gardens (when you can handle the heat)
Key Takeaways for Cambodia Travelers:
✅ Visit temples EARLY morning, not midday
✅ Invest in good AC accommodation
✅ Angkor Market has amazing Western groceries (UK, French, US, Korean imports!)
✅ Dress like locals: long sleeves for UV protection
✅ Siem Reap perfectly blends urban and rural life
This isn't your typical travel vlog - it's real expat life in Cambodia with all the sweaty, unfiltered moments included. No script, no fake enthusiasm, just honest insights about living in one of Southeast Asia's most fascinating cities.
Failed camera mount, melting chicken, and hunt for slippery elm tea included! 📹🐔🌿
