If you ask most Cambodians I think they would all like to go there at least once. ( That's the opinion I got based on people I know - I haven't asked "most Cambodians".)
I went there once with a Khmer friend who had never been there before. It was fun. He was blown away and took about 100 selfies to post to his friends.

I've never believed the old ot mien lot excuse.
I think it also means, I'm not interested, I can't be bothered or I'd rather spend the money on a new iPhone.
Maybe?.

You obviously have a very narrow experience in Cambodia if you believe that. There are a large number who struggle just to make ends meet and never go anywhere.

But that remark could mean anyone who is in the same situation in any country or nationality.
Jamie maybe joking with his response, no but me and my family had a walk around London.
But the fact is we do pay for our attractions, also it's not a cheap experience. But we could go round and round the subject all day.
I see possibly more who could afford in Cambodia then I see more that can't in the UK.

Also I’ve had what seems like a dozen Khmer tell me they haven’t been somewhere only to later see old photos of them in those destinations years before. Or they let it slip later that they had visited. A lot of Cambodians when asked will tell you they have never visited a place with the hopes that you will take them.

A dozen? All hookers?
