These awful comments about Angkor Wat are so foul and off base..
Khmer people cherish them and frankly many are enjoying the lack of tourists to visit them without the crowds.
I live in Siem Reap and the lack of tourism has been quite a blow..
But, compared to the rest of the planet I can assure you Siem Reap beats the hell out of being locked up somewhere eating out of a tin.
That nonsense about Trumps numbers falling is just pure leftist propaganda spewed by the same haters who predicted a clinton landslide...
The Khmer people are far from starving.
This years rains are going to allow several rice crops.
You obviously are not here and have no idea what is actually happening.
The entire world is in trouble..
If you bought gold...you are doing ok.
The US stock market is nearly back to pre pandemic levels.
china seems to be having more than their share of hard luck...floods...famine..earthquakes...new outbreaks of the covid 19 ...
Don't forget...it was china that said this would all go away when it warmed up..
It seems the monster they created has not followed their summer schedule.
The Khmer people will survive.
You obviously don't know them at all ...

What is the actual visa situation? I will be in Korea in August and can get a flight in from there. Can I get any kind of visa issued that will allow me into Cambodia?

I've been waiting for Scobienz to say that the number of visitors to Cambodia has dive bombed faster than the number of visitors to Khmer440 after you purchased it from him.

He must be busy sucking on shisha or something.

Yes, any half educated social science student, would probably wonder if, when and where the riots will break out, and if the gendarmerie will be able to contain it. I hear already, that group gatherings of more than 10-20 people, just 'hanging around', are being broken up at random. I haven't noticed a huge change yet, but you feel the pressure out there, for sure.

Playboy · Post by **Playboy** » Fri Jul 24, 2020 9:30 am

What pressure ??!?

There will not be any riots.

Where are you getting information that group gatherings are being broken up ?

Have you actually seen any being broken up, or are you just listening to random gossip from fishwives and drunken barflies ?

No, I can't find that article mentioning it yesterday, might have been removed(?)
Not trying to incite, and hoping for a peaceful outcome myself.

I'm not a leftist, and I actually predicted Trump would win. But I agree, that was probably not the best metaphor -his numbers have always been low.

I posted government statistics, as I've done on a semi-regular basis for the last three years, without commentary. During those years we've seen an unprecedented increase in Chinese, and then a sharp decrease of them. These recent months show an absolute drop off of all arrivals, which is to be expected for any country in the world right now. This is a fact, and it will have effects.

I'm not sure what you're on about, or even what you're on.
