បន្ទាប់ពីខ្ញុំនិយាយចេញមក មានការខិតខំប្រឹងប្រែងយ៉ាងខ្លាំងពីសំណាក់រដ្ឋាភិបាលកម្ពុជា ដើម្បីបំបិទរឿងនេះ។
វីដេអូនេះពន្យល់ពីអ្វីដែលបានកើតឡើង — និងមូលហេតុដែលការពិតនៅតែមានសារៈសំខាន់។
សូមទស្សនា ហើយប្រាប់ខ្ញុំពីគំនិតរបស់អ្នកនៅក្នុងមតិយោបល់។

Hey Country Collectors,
(🇹🇭 คำแปลภาษาไทยอยู่ด้านล่าง | 🇰🇭 ការបកប្រែជាភាសាខ្មែរ នៅខាងក្រោម)

🚨 NEW VIDEO ALERT — and this is one I never thought I’d be making again.

In my last video, I shared a personal experience from Cambodia about being attacked at Angkor Wat and the disturbing aftermath.

What I didn’t expect was what happened after I spoke out.

Since then, there’s been overwhelming support, intense anger, misinformation, and official actions taken to restrict and ban the video. My credibility has been questioned, articles have been written that don’t reflect my lived experience, and there have been attempts to discredit the truth rather than address what actually happened.

So today’s video is not about drama.
It’s about slowing everything down.

I address the questions people are asking, the backlash, the ban, the false narratives, and — most importantly — what this story was always meant to be about.

This is not an attack on Cambodian people.
It’s about accountability, safety, and doing the right thing — no matter where something happens.

Thank you to everyone who has listened with an open mind and supported honesty over noise.

สวัสดี Country Collectors,
🚨 วิดีโอใหม่ — และเป็นวิดีโอที่ผมไม่เคยคิดเลยว่าผมจะต้องทำอีกครั้ง
ในวิดีโอล่าสุด ผมได้แชร์ประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวจากประเทศกัมพูชาที่ผมไม่เคยพูดถึงต่อสาธารณะมาก่อน สิ่งที่ผมไม่คาดคิดเลยคือสิ่งที่เกิดขึ้นหลังจากที่ผมเผยแพร่วิดีโอนั้น
ตั้งแต่นั้นมา มีทั้งการสนับสนุนอย่างล้นหลาม ความโกรธอย่างรุนแรง ข้อมูลที่บิดเบือน และการดำเนินการอย่างเป็นทางการเพื่อจำกัดและแบนวิดีโอ ความน่าเชื่อถือของผมถูกตั้งคำถาม มีบทความที่เขียนขึ้นซึ่งไม่สะท้อนประสบการณ์จริงของผม และมีความพยายามที่จะทำลายความจริง แทนที่จะจัดการกับสิ่งที่เกิดขึ้นจริง
ดังนั้น วิดีโอวันนี้ไม่ใช่เรื่องของดราม่า
แต่มันคือการชะลอทุกอย่างลง
ผมจะตอบคำถามที่หลายคนสงสัย พูดถึงกระแสต่อต้าน การแบนวิดีโอ เรื่องเล่าที่ไม่ถูกต้อง และที่สำคัญที่สุดคือสิ่งที่เรื่องราวนี้ตั้งใจจะสื่อมาตั้งแต่ต้น
นี่ไม่ใช่การโจมตีประชาชนชาวกัมพูชา
แต่มันคือเรื่องของความรับผิดชอบ ความปลอดภัย และการทำในสิ่งที่ถูกต้อง — ไม่ว่าจะเกิดขึ้นที่ไหนก็ตาม
ขอบคุณทุกคนที่รับฟังด้วยใจที่เปิดกว้าง และสนับสนุนความจริงเหนือเสียงรบกวน

The Country Collectors

The Cambodian government has taken official steps to silence this story.

I never expected this to go this far.

(คำแปลภาษาไทยด้านล่าง 🇹🇭) (คำแปลภาษาเขมรด้านล่าง 🇰🇭)

After sharing my personal experience of being attacked at Angkor Wat, the APSARA National Authority issued an official statement about my video—including documents asking the public to stop sharing it.

Let that sink in for a moment.

I would say that was shocking but after what happened to us it’s nothing less than I would expect. Instead of addressing the lack of security at the site, or the way the police handled the situation afterward, the focus shifted to reframing the incident, minimizing what happened, and discouraging discussion altogether.

These documents describe the incident as a “private dispute,” claim it was resolved the same day, and suggest that authorities handled everything appropriately. That does not reflect our lived experience at all.

What’s most disturbing to me isn’t criticism—it’s the idea that an individual sharing a real, documented experience can be met not with accountability or transparency, but with official pressure to stay quiet.

I’ve been very clear from the beginning:
•This was not an attack on Cambodian people.
•I met many kind, respectful locals.
•This is about one incident, a failure of security, and a deeply troubling response afterward.

Telling the truth about something uncomfortable is not disrespect.
Silencing it is.

These are the documents that were issued. I’m sharing them so people can see for themselves and decide what they think.

To the people attacking me—both foreign and domestic—this is the part you’re missing:
the message of this video was about you.

It was about how quickly people turn away.
How easily empathy disappears.
How often the instinct is to defend systems instead of people.
And how much easier it is to turn a blind eye when things are bad or going wrong then standing up for what right.

The real question I asked in that video wasn’t “Who was right?”
It was: Where have all the good people gone?

I stand by my experience. I stand by telling it honestly.

I stand by the people who had the courage to reach out honestly.
And I stand by telling the truth—even when it makes powerful people uncomfortable enough to want to silence it.

My heart goes out to the good Cambodian people who live in fear of situations like this—fear created not by everyday citizens, but by systemic government failure and a lack of accountability. And even the people attacking me—the angry voices in the comments—deserve better than living under a system that teaches silence, intimidation, and indifference instead of protection and justice.

🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭

รัฐบาลกัมพูชาได้ดำเนินการอย่างเป็นทางการเพื่อปิดปากเรื่องนี้

ฉันไม่เคยคาดคิดมาก่อนว่าเรื่องนี้จะบานปลายขนาดนี้

หลังจากที่ฉันแชร์ประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวเกี่ยวกับการถูกทำร้ายที่นครวัด หน่วยงาน APSARA แห่งชาติได้ออกแถลงการณ์อย่างเป็นทางการเกี่ยวกับวิดีโอของฉัน—รวมถึงเอกสารที่ขอให้ประชาชนหยุดแชร์วิดีโอนั้น

ลองคิดดูสักครู่

ฉันจะบอกว่ามันน่าตกใจ แต่หลังจากสิ่งที่เกิดขึ้นกับเรา มันก็ไม่ใช่เรื่องที่เกินความคาดหมาย แทนที่จะแก้ไขปัญหาเรื่องความหละหลวมด้านความปลอดภัยในสถานที่ หรือวิธีที่ตำรวจจัดการกับสถานการณ์หลังจากนั้น กลับกลายเป็นว่าพวกเขาพยายามปรับเปลี่ยนเหตุการณ์ ลดทอนความสำคัญของสิ่งที่เกิดขึ้น และปิดกั้นการพูดคุยโดยสิ้นเชิง

เอกสารเหล่านั้นอธิบายเหตุการณ์ว่าเป็น “ข้อพิพาทส่วนตัว” อ้างว่าได้รับการแก้ไขในวันเดียวกัน และแนะนำว่าเจ้าหน้าที่จัดการทุกอย่างอย่างเหมาะสม นั่นไม่ได้สะท้อนถึงประสบการณ์จริงของเราเลย

สิ่งที่รบกวนจิตใจฉันมากที่สุดไม่ใช่คำวิจารณ์—แต่เป็นความคิดที่ว่าบุคคลที่แชร์ประสบการณ์จริงที่มีหลักฐานบันทึกไว้ กลับไม่ได้รับการตอบสนองด้วยความรับผิดชอบหรือความโปร่งใส แต่กลับถูกกดดันจากทางการให้เงียบ

ฉันได้ชี้แจงอย่างชัดเจนตั้งแต่ต้นแล้วว่า:

• นี่ไม่ใช่การโจมตีประชาชนชาวกัมพูชา

• ฉันได้พบกับชาวบ้านที่ใจดีและให้ความเคารพมากมาย

• นี่เป็นเพียงเหตุการณ์เดียว ความล้มเหลวในการรักษาความปลอดภัย และการตอบสนองที่น่ากังวลอย่างยิ่งหลังจากนั้น

การพูดความจริงเกี่ยวกับเรื่องที่ไม่สบายใจไม่ใช่การไม่เคารพ

การปิดปากต่างหากที่เป็นการไม่เคารพ

นี่คือเอกสารที่ออกให้ ฉันแบ่งปันเพื่อให้ผู้คนได้เห็นด้วยตนเองและตัดสินใจว่าพวกเขาคิดอย่างไร

สำหรับผู้ที่โจมตีฉัน—ทั้งชาวต่างชาติและชาวกัมพูชา—นี่คือส่วนที่คุณมองข้ามไป:
ข้อความของวิดีโอนี้เกี่ยวกับคุณ

มันเกี่ยวกับว่าผู้คนหันหลังให้เร็วแค่ไหน
ความเห็นอกเห็นใจหายไปได้ง่ายแค่ไหน

บ่อยครั้งที่สัญชาตญาณคือการปกป้องระบบแทนที่จะเป็นผู้คน

และง่ายกว่ามากที่จะเมินเฉยเมื่อสิ่งต่างๆ เลวร้ายหรือผิดพลาด มากกว่าที่จะยืนหยัดเพื่อสิ่งที่ถูกต้อง

คำถามที่แท้จริงที่ฉันถามในวิดีโอนั้นไม่ใช่ "ใครถูกใครผิด?"

แต่คือ: คนดีๆ หายไปไหนหมด?

ฉันยืนยันในประสบการณ์ของฉัน ฉันยืนยันในการเล่าเรื่องอย่างตรงไปตรงมา

ฉันยืนยันในผู้คนที่กล้าหาญที่จะออกมาพูดอย่างตรงไปตรงมา
และฉันยืนยันในการพูดความจริง แม้ว่ามันจะทำให้ผู้มีอำนาจรู้สึกไม่สบายใจจนอยากจะปิดปากมันก็ตาม

ฉันรู้สึกเห็นใจประชาชนชาวกัมพูชาที่ดีที่ต้องใช้ชีวิตอยู่ด้วยความหวาดกลัวต่อสถานการณ์เช่นนี้ ความหวาดกลัวที่ไม่ได้เกิดจากประชาชนทั่วไป แต่เกิดจากความล้มเหลวของระบบราชการและการขาดความรับผิดชอบ และแม้แต่คนที่โจมตีฉัน เสียงโกรธเกรี้ยวในความคิดเห็น ก็สมควรได้รับสิ่งที่ดีกว่าการใช้ชีวิตภายใต้ระบบที่สอนให้เงียบงัน ข่มขู่ และไม่แยแส แทนที่จะปกป้องและให้ความยุติธรรม

រដ្ឋាភិបាល​កម្ពុជា​បាន​បញ្ជា​ឱ្យ​បិទ​ปาก​តិច

ខ្ញុំមិនដែលរំពឹងថារឿងនេះនឹងឈានដល់កម្រិតនេះទេ។

បន្ទាប់ពីចែករំលែកបទពិសោធន៍ផ្ទាល់ខ្លួនរបស់ខ្ញុំអំពីការវាយប្រហារនៅអង្គរវត្ត អាជ្ញាធរជាតិអប្សរាបានចេញសេចក្តីថ្លែងការណ៍ជាផ្លូវការអំពីវីដេអូរបស់ខ្ញុំ — រួមទាំងឯកសារដែលស្នើសុំឱ្យសាធារណជនឈប់ចែករំលែកវា។

សូមឱ្យរឿងនេះលិចលង់មួយភ្លែត។

ខ្ញុំចង់និយាយថាវាគួរឱ្យភ្ញាក់ផ្អើល ប៉ុន្តែបន្ទាប់ពីអ្វីដែលបានកើតឡើងចំពោះយើង វាគ្មានអ្វីតិចជាងអ្វីដែលខ្ញុំរំពឹងទុកនោះទេ។ ជំនួសឱ្យការដោះស្រាយកង្វះសន្តិសុខនៅទីតាំង ឬរបៀបដែលប៉ូលីសដោះស្រាយស្ថានការណ៍បន្ទាប់ពីនោះ ការផ្តោតអារម្មណ៍បានផ្លាស់ប្តូរទៅការកែសម្រួលឡើងវិញនូវឧប្បត្តិហេតុនេះ កាត់បន្ថយអ្វីដែលបានកើតឡើង និងបំបាក់ទឹកចិត្តការពិភាក្សាទាំងស្រុង។

ឯកសារទាំងនេះពិពណ៌នាអំពីឧប្បត្តិហេតុនេះថាជា "ជម្លោះឯកជន" ដោយអះអាងថាវាត្រូវបានដោះស្រាយនៅថ្ងៃដដែល ហើយបង្ហាញថាអាជ្ញាធរបានដោះស្រាយអ្វីៗគ្រប់យ៉ាងឱ្យបានត្រឹមត្រូវ។ នោះមិនឆ្លុះបញ្ចាំងពីបទពិសោធន៍ផ្ទាល់របស់យើងទាល់តែសោះ។

អ្វីដែលរំខានបំផុតសម្រាប់ខ្ញុំមិនមែនជាការរិះគន់ទេ — វាជាគំនិតដែលបុគ្គលម្នាក់ដែលចែករំលែកបទពិសោធន៍ពិតប្រាកដ និងបានកត់ត្រាអាចត្រូវបានបំពេញមិនមែនជាមួយនឹងការទទួលខុសត្រូវ ឬតម្លាភាពនោះទេ ប៉ុន្តែជាមួយនឹងសម្ពាធផ្លូវការដើម្បីនៅស្ងៀម។

ខ្ញុំបានបញ្ជាក់យ៉ាងច្បាស់តាំងពីដើមមកថា៖
• នេះមិនមែនជាការវាយប្រហារលើប្រជាជនកម្ពុជាទេ។
• ខ្ញុំបានជួបអ្នកស្រុកជាច្រើនដែលមានចិត្តល្អ និងគោរពគ្នាទៅវិញទៅមក។
• នេះនិយាយអំពីឧប្បត្តិហេតុមួយ ការបរាជ័យនៃសន្តិសុខ និងការឆ្លើយតបដ៏គួរឱ្យព្រួយបារម្ភយ៉ាងខ្លាំងបន្ទាប់ពីនោះ។

ការនិយាយការពិតអំពីអ្វីមួយដែលមិនស្រួលមិនមែនជាការមិនគោរពនោះទេ។

ការបិទវាចោលគឺជារឿងសំខាន់។

ទាំងនេះគឺជាឯកសារដែលត្រូវបានចេញ។ ខ្ញុំកំពុងចែករំលែកវាដើម្បីឱ្យមនុស្សអាចមើលឃើញដោយខ្លួនឯង និងសម្រេចចិត្តថាពួកគេគិតយ៉ាងណា។

ចំពោះមនុស្សដែលវាយប្រហារខ្ញុំ - ទាំងបរទេស និងក្នុងស្រុក - នេះគឺជាផ្នែកដែលអ្នកខកខាន៖
សារនៃវីដេអូនេះគឺអំពីអ្នក។

វានិយាយអំពីរបៀបដែលមនុស្សងាកចេញយ៉ាងលឿន។

ការអាណិតអាសូរបាត់ទៅវិញយ៉ាងងាយស្រួល។
តើសភាវគតិការពារប្រព័ន្ធជំនួសឱ្យមនុស្សញឹកញាប់ប៉ុណ្ណា។
ហើយវាងាយស្រួលជាងក្នុងការបិទភ្នែកនៅពេលដែលមានរឿងអាក្រក់ ឬខុសឆ្គងជាងការក្រោកឈរឡើងសម្រាប់អ្វីដែលត្រឹមត្រូវ។

សំណួរពិតប្រាកដដែលខ្ញុំបានសួរនៅក្នុងវីដេអូនោះមិនមែនជា "អ្នកណាត្រឹមត្រូវ?" ទេ។ វាគឺជា៖ តើមនុស្សល្អទាំងអស់បានទៅណាហើយ?

ខ្ញុំគាំទ្របទពិសោធន៍របស់ខ្ញុំ។ ខ្ញុំគាំទ្រដោយនិយាយវាដោយស្មោះត្រង់។

ខ្ញុំគាំទ្រមនុស្សដែលមានសេចក្តីក្លាហានក្នុងការទាក់ទងដោយស្មោះត្រង់។

ហើយខ្ញុំឈរនៅខាងនិយាយការពិត — សូម្បីតែពេលដែលវាធ្វើឱ្យមនុស្សមានអំណាចមិនស្រួលគ្រប់គ្រាន់ដើម្បីចង់បិទវាក៏ដោយ។

ចិត្តខ្ញុំអាណិតដល់ប្រជាជនកម្ពុជាដ៏ល្អដែលរស់នៅក្នុងការភ័យខ្លាចចំពោះស្ថានភាពដូចនេះ — ការភ័យខ្លាចដែលបង្កើតឡើងមិនមែនដោយពលរដ្ឋធម្មតាទេ ប៉ុន្តែដោយការបរាជ័យរបស់រដ្ឋាភិបាលជាប្រព័ន្ធ និងកង្វះការទទួលខុសត្រូវ។ ហើយសូម្បីតែមនុស្សដែលវាយប្រហារខ្ញុំ — សំឡេងខឹងសម្បារនៅក្នុងមតិយោបល់ — សមនឹងទទួលបានអ្វីដែលប្រសើរជាងការរស់នៅក្រោមប្រព័ន្ធដែលបង្រៀនពីភាពស្ងៀមស្ងាត់ ការបំភិតបំភ័យ និងភាពព្រងើយកន្តើយជំនួសឱ្យការការពារ និងយុត្តិធម៌។

I just dropped my newest video. Last year I was violently attacked at Angkor Wat in Cambodia —and what happened afterward was even more disturbing.

Check out the video here and please leave a comment on the video to let me know what you think.

Hey Country Collectors,

This upcoming video is one I’ve been holding onto for a long time.
Last year in Cambodia, I went through the hardest travel experience of my life. It wasn’t something I was ready to share back then—but now I finally am.

This story is raw, honest, and very personal. Not for shock—just truth. Travel isn’t always highlights and sunsets, and this experience changed me in ways I never expected—and am even grateful for.

Thank you for always being here for the full journey—even the hard parts.

Happy New Year, my friends 🎉✨

Stepping into this new year feeling grateful more than anything. Grateful for the people who showed up, the places that surprised me, the lessons I didn’t ask for but clearly needed, and this community that continues to make this whole journey feel shared instead of solo.

This past year had its ups, its curveballs, and plenty of moments that reminded me how important it is to slow down, stay curious, and appreciate the simple stuff—good conversations, new cultures, bad jokes, and being exactly where you’re meant to be, even when it doesn’t make sense at first.

Here’s to more adventures, deeper connections, getting a little uncomfortable in the best ways, and continuing to explore this wild, beautiful world together.

Wishing you health, joy, and a year full of stories worth telling.
Let’s see where this next chapter takes us 🌍💛

The holidays always have a funny way of sneaking up on us. One minute it’s just another day, and the next it’s laughter, late nights, good friends, and that familiar feeling that we’re about to be feasting so much we might actually make ourselves sick (or maybe thats just a me thing 😅)

I’ve been soaking up moments like this lately—good company, easy smiles, and not taking any of it for granted. As the big day gets closer, it’s a good reminder that the best parts of this season usually aren’t the presents… they’re the people and the memories we’re making along the way.

I’m curious—what have you been getting up to as the holidays approach? Traveling, staying close to home, spending time with family or friends, or just taking a breather?

Share your ugly sweater photos, favorite holiday foods, family moments, or whatever kind of festive fun you’ve been getting up to lately.

Let’s see it, Country Collectors 🎄✨

Another year around the sun 🌍🎂
And honestly… this one filled my cup.

From morning coffee and big smiles, to salty air and boards on the sand. From standing on cliff edges at sunset, to tables covered in food, stories, and laughs that stretched long into the night. Beaches, BBQ, cold beers, and the boys. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate.

No big plans. No wild expectations. Just the right people showing up at exactly the right moment. I spend a lot of time alone on the road, but being surrounded by brothers on this day reminded me how lucky I truly am.

Birthdays aren’t about the number anymore. They’re about presence. About shared meals, shared laughter, and those simple moments that somehow become the ones you carry with you forever.

Feeling deeply grateful for this crew, this chapter, and another year of stories waiting to be lived.

Life’s been teaching me a lot lately—and somewhere between the ocean views, late nights, and full hearts, I was reminded how good life really is.

Thank you to everyone who reached out and shared the love. It truly means more than you know 🤍

🎉 5 YEARS ON YOUTUBE! 🎉

Hey Country Collectors,
I can’t believe it’s been five whole years since I hit upload on that very first video. Back then, I had no idea where this journey would take me — I just knew I loved exploring, learning, and sharing this wild, beautiful world with anyone who wanted to come along.

Five years later… here we are.
Different countries, different adventures, countless memories — but the same heart behind it all. And the best part? You’ve been right there with me for every step, every misstep, every waterfall pun, every long travel day, every magical moment — and for sticking with me through the hard times too.

Thank you for cheering me on, for laughing with me, for supporting this dream, and for being the kind of community that makes the world feel a little kinder. You’ve helped me grow not just as a creator, but as a person.

Here’s to the next 5 years of exploring, trying new things, meeting incredible people, and seeing where this adventure takes us next.

And as always… let’s keep collecting those countries — and those memories — together. ❤️🌍
