According to Wikipedia
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demogra ... f_Cambodia
This is the population split of Cambodia.
I’m not sure I’m buying the 1% Chinese...
However, further reading says that the 90% Khmer also includes 1.6% Cham (Muslim). Fair enough. From my travels around the country I see some Cham villages but I could believe that the Cham population is around 2%.
But why on earth is the airport population so heavily Muslim?
Inside the airport about 20% of people are Muslim. Outside the airport easily 50% plus of those milling around are Muslim. What the hell are they doing? I know the 2018 Hajj is in August but it’s at the end of the month - and anyway my observations are not just based on today.
Is it a Cham thing that when a family member travels somewhere then the whole village comes to see them off / welcome them home?

Well we all know that there are a large amount of Khmers that have Chinese grandparents, so in essence many are really mixed blood. I don't know why they would include Cham in the Khmer portion, and not in "other". And 1% of the population equals 160,000 people, so I'm not buying that Chinese number either.ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote:According to Wikipedia

About the airport, yea I think we've commented on it before. It seems in the evening to get absolutely crazy, with full picnics going on and the whole works -- really fucks up the parking area. Not sure about the Cham thing though.
This article suggests 1 in 16 Cambodians are working in Thailand, that's a pretty crazy number.

Massive stalker
at least two middle east muslim air lines currently fly directly or semi-directly into pp emirates and qatar not sure if etihad does sometimes too, with the current non sense going down with entering thailand visa wise perhaps pp is now a better choice?
WARNING: this post is not intended for the mentally impaired perhaps search for the chicken's post and read them instead. thanks.
Depends when the last census was done and how accurate that was. I think those stars are from 10 years ago.
In two years the Chinese population has tripled.

How they (and who) decide what ethnic group people belong?
Does it come from mama side or if other parent is khmer then you're khmer or some other way to choose?
