Honestly… we were wrong about Cambodia.

After years of traveling Southeast Asia, we weren’t sure what to expect when we arrived in Siem Reap, Cambodia — but from the moment we landed, this place completely surprised us.

In this video, we’re sharing our first day in Cambodia: exploring Siem Reap by tuk tuk, visiting local markets, trying Cambodian food (and some unexpected finds 👀), riding the Angkor Eye at sunset, and discovering why this city feels calmer, more affordable, and more welcoming than we imagined.

We also give a full tour of our Siem Reap Airbnb, break down costs, transport, food prices, and share honest first impressions of what it’s really like traveling Cambodia as a family.

If you’re planning a trip to Cambodia, considering Siem Reap beyond Angkor Wat, or just curious what daily life here feels like — this video is for you.
