Both hotels are impressive. French Colonial is huge! You got caught but you tried!! Wow he was there fast! The shrines are adorned at the roof corners with wavy antenna like ornaments which I really love. The buildings are solidly built, strong walls!!! I really enjoyed the video!! Thank you. 😀🤩👍

What a bizarre & eerie place! Especially the church,looked so weird in all that low cloud. When you lifted that crash helmet I half expected to see a human skull fall out!!😅😅 V. Interesting, in a macabre sort of way!

Lok Yeay Mao (Grandmother Mao), based on legend, she is a wife of a general who went to war on the sea against Siam. Sadly, her husband died in the battle, then she lead the troops against Siam after her husband. Later, she became heroine and her name and legacy remains in Cambodian people mind especially people at the province along coastline. They are another legend said about her but still involved around those provinces.

Thank you so much for letting me know about Grandmother Mao. When I saw her statue going up the national park, I knew she was important.

at 14:00, you say the French abandoned it in the 1940's with the first Indo-China war. Your information is very wrong. It was in 1940 that the French left Cambodia after defeat in the French-Thai war of that year..At the directive of "Open Country" made my King Sihanouk, the Japanese in WW2 commenced occupation of Cambodia in August 1941. .. The first Indo-China war commenced December 1946. (I believe you got your info from Wikipedia... NOBODY should rely on Wikipedia. Even Wikipedia themselves make that admission as little of the information is fact checked, and anyone can add or edit the information
