I want to thank you as You’ve taught me so much about other places and cultures through you videos. The music and the sounds of the wildlife and the visuals are suburb! I feel like I’ve been there and that means a lot to me because I’m disabled and can not travel. So I travel through your stunning videos! This place is gorgeous! The sound of the waves and the beach is so relaxing and so perfect.
Thx for your kind comment. Much appreciated!
Dear Doctor, your presentations never fail to take me on wonderful and surprising journeys of the mind. I never know where my thoughts may take me as you take us to far-flung corners of the world. This venue is no different and as I watched your presentation I was thinking about an event just off its coast in May, forty five years ago….
Thank you for this journey, and every journey you take me on. They never cease to amaze me. My Saturday mornings are always thought provoking.
Glad to read another great comment from you 👍😉
Thanks for sharing. I was there in April 2019. Just a few months after the opening. I had the same villa as you did. I liked it a lot. The staff were still on the learning curve. I was a bit devastated the amount of rubbish thrown out from the sea. I really hope we all reduce consumption of plastic otherwise we will be crushed by plastic soon. To conclude, I liked the resort very much on this secluded island.
Calm and tranquil surroundings with the sweet chirping of small birds and their heart rendering whistle has stolen my heart. Still it reverberates. The golden soft sands beach, roaring sounds of waves and it’s surroundings is ideal for holidaying. The teakwood floors, furnitures, sleek corridor leading to restaurant and beach is awesome. The pool areas of natural water color is mesmerizing. Your videography excellent.
It looks so calm there. A great way to escape the chaotic world 🙂
By this time in a pandemic world, I wait anxiously your peaceful, calm and relaxing videos. You give us hope there are better things, better places in this planet. Thank you very much.
True
What can a person possibly say???? Not enough words to describe this fabulous place. Perfection! Couple that with your very wonderful production… everything so well done. Music was perfect. Pacing was exceptional… LTE … you just keep getting better and better!!
PS: your friends are absolutely lovely.
Once again, thank you for bringing us along….
Pretty nice place! Wonderful weather and seashore. Stunning villa and foods. I love this. The sunset is super. Very cozy in all details. 😍❤️
Every video is a masterpiece! Just when I think the last resort is the epitome of luxury… there is always something more spectacular captured!! 🙌🏽 well done!!
Thank you 🙂
At the outset I would like to say bravo for having travelled to Cambodia during the peak of the pandemic. On top of that with your children. Your easy going and fun approach to life is commendable.
A swing by the beach bang in the middle of the waves. To go up in the air with the wind against you and literally and figuratively letting your hair down, how cool can it get.
The trees close to the shore is also a rare sight to behold. So Utopian doc. The architecture of the resort is out and out modern giving one a sense of openness. The tiered swimming pool and the pleasant sound of water trickling down speaks volumes for your filming abilities. I could hear the distinct sound of the cricket singing. Great job. Your kids are so adorable. Wish I could watch your videos 24/7 with not a care in the world.
I miss Cambodia. Such a beautiful country and I’ll be adding Koh Russey to my list of places to stay at
I am living in Cambodia but I never know that we have Koh Russey. Thank you so much for showing us the luxury place in Cambodia that I never know. Let save money to visit there.
You have no idea how healthy the effect your videos bring to me. Thank You!!
This was a welcomed escapism from all the madness in the world. Thank you. Always a treat seeing your family. Looking forward to next weeks video.
More to come!😉
I have a client who stayed there once. His bag arrived late. The staff from the resort agreed to come all the way from the island to pick up the customer’s bag at the airport in the city. Amazing service
Your video reminded me of happier times. It is amazing how much the world has changed within the past 3 months. I live about 5 miles from Glasgow airport and when I sit out on my patio during the summer months I can normally see a good number of jet trails every hour. I have literally not seen one for the past several weeks. I suppose it’s good for the environment however. Not sure how many reports you have left before you run out, but keep them coming.
@the Luxury Travel Expert Wow, is it possible to indicate the period you visited because these past years of watching , it was assumed the videos are recent visits.
I still have material for another 4 months 😉
This place just made it to my bucket list! Call me a heretic, but would rather go here than anywhere in the Maldives, so much more to see and do as well as cultural experiences 😀
It’s permanently closed.
Que lindo lugar. Hay tanto por conocer. Que increíble tener la oportunidad de viajar. Saludos 🙋🏻♀️
I used to go to bamboo island about 20 years ago when it was empty apart from a few soldiers with a few howitzers hidden in the tree line protecting it from the Vietnamese… I used to walk across the island through the jungle to the other side where there was a little fishing village and a few little wooden bungalows you could rent for 5 dollar a night…. It was stunning … I felt like Robinson Crusoe … An English guy with his Cambodian girlfriend built 10 bungalows where the hotel stands with a nice round restaurant/bar … I stayed there for a few years until it started getting a bit too popular then moved on but such wonderful memories….His name was Rupert , had bar Ru in town…. Hi Trent if you read this ( barman)
Paul.
Yes it seems like the location had a troubled past and to traditional Asians, there were quite a few signs from some of the exorcism artefacts placed aroubd , which were really disguised as interesting objet’ arts at both the mainland and resort.
@A Fletcherman’s Son yes I have seen that documentary about the missing American soldiers … Tragic event… It was 20 years ago I was there and all was peaceful at that time.. I think the last foreigners killed by Khmer rouge was mid nineties in Kampong trach caves… The local people were poor by our standards but always happy and jovial and eager to meet and talk with foreigners… I went back 2 years ago and the Sihanouk ville region has undergone dramatic change with the Chinese investment … It’s a casino town now with high rises along the coastline and private beaches… I didn’t like it there anymore.
Thank you for sharing those memories, Paul. Interesting insight into the history of that region. Its fascinating (and maybe a little informative) to think back over the changes that occur throughout history. Twenty five years prior to your experiences on Bamboo Island, and about forty miles off its coast, the SS Mayaguez incident unfolded, and the final American action of the Vietnam War concluded It is good that we acknowledge and remember the past, but better that we celebrate the relative peace and prosperity of the present. Thank you again and best wishes, Paul.
The time on the beach was so lush (minus the trash issue)! I loved the sound of the waves! Lovely place!
