There are some things that never close, or at least barely ever. The airport hasn't been closed since 1997, and the main land borders like Poipet - Aranyapathet didn't even close during the Thai/Cambodian Preah Vihear dispute/war in 2008. Why would they close these? It would be disastrous for trade and trust.
There are some ridiculous rumors flying around, it's not safe to go to the Water Festival, stay inside, stock up on food etc.
I had a great laugh tonight talking to a friend who is a manager of a large operation here. One of his European staff was so freaked out he said it wasn't safe and he was going to stay at his embassy, like his fucking embassy has rooms available for paranoid nationals! The guy isn't even that young, but like I guessed hasn't been in town very long.
