As Southeast Asia reopens and scrambles to attract international tourists, Cambodia has announced triumphant numbers from the Ministry of Tourism, declaring over 740,000 tourists from abroad between January to the end of July this year. The swell of tourists is about 22.5% of the number of travellers pre-pandemic, but a 560% increase over figures for the first half of 2022. By comparison, Thailand’s 3.3 million international visitors in the same time period is just 8.5% of the number of tourists travelling to the kingdom before Covid-19. Cambodia welcomed 6.6 million international travellers in 2019, about 6.1 times less than Thailand’s […]

Like all sensible people, I have a fall back plan for if everything in Thailand goes tits up and we all have to leave, or at least I have to leave. Cambodia is pretty much at the bottom of that list of fallback countries.  I didn't get raised and lived/worked in western countries to go back to the mid 1950s in the way I live and where I live . It may make it one day, but right now the place is an underdeveloped sxxt hole, teaming (normally) with low life and/ or exploitative Chinese. Not for me.

Westerners have started crossing out Cambodia after the influx of the Chinese. When the Chinese came with their casinos and constructions and stuffs it opened up a lot of work opportunities and Cambodians just don't see much of a need to sell sex anymore.

Besides the Chinese tourists and the ones that stay there, and the corrupt Cambodian Government kissing up to the CCP, I am sure there is a place one might be able to find that is comfortable to live there at. On another note is I am not sure of the welcome matt the government is giving Americans now since there seems to be a little friction going on. Until the nipples fall off the Thailand buffalo, I am here till I croak.

Yes, me too.  As the years go by and the UK drops further and further away from being a first world country, LOS becomes, to me, more and more attractive as a place to live.  I can't think of anywhere else where I would be as comfortable and happy as I am here.  Certainly not Cambodia.

I could relocate there to Siem Reap if needed, but I would also try to do many long visits back to here to stay with my family. That is unless that closed up and they made that hard. I think I could also occupy my time with small traveling out to places around the country and to Vietnam, but honestly unless the general Chinese character persona changed, I would try to avoid the saturated areas with too many Chinese tourists, and would pick the areas that had the concentration of Vietnamese folk which is more my speed. So Cambodia could be in the cards for me as Siem Reap is also pretty close to the border of Thailand. But yes, my love is Thailand and my whole life is here.

How does Cambodia class a 'tourist', rather than a 'visitor'?

I suspect that since Thailand stopped issuing the 60-day Covid extensions, Cambodia would have had an influx of 'visitors' from Thailand making a border hop for a VE entry back into Thailand, or a visit to the Thai Embassy in Phnom Penh for a new Visa.

Hardly what I would class as 'tourists'.

      News Forum - Foreign buyers flock to Thailand’s tropical condos: Chinese and Russians lead

      It's the crazy leaders with their own personal goals causing trouble for everyone. Remember the west is the one who invented 2 Covid 19 vaccines and shared it to other countries. Who's the good guys now?

      French Senators tabling legislation that would prevent the medical mutilation of minors

      No-one is denying that there are valid reasons. People are rightly concerned with the ease of access and lack of accountability for these “gender clarifications”. There must be increased scrutiny and a more thorough vetting process for these life altering procedures. This report should be welcomed for the wake up it is, not dismissed as transphobic messaging. There is a middle ground in all this and we need to find it for the sake of the children.

      News Forum - Thai government prepares for potential Iran attack on Israel

      Oh no! Rather than take the L on your claims you play your usual game of deflection and obfuscation. I did nazi that coming.. So go and edit the Wikipedia page to set the record straight. I dare you. No need to thank me. I have always stated they are terroshits and that I am surprised that Israel mimics them. Crazy times.

      French Senators tabling legislation that would prevent the medical mutilation of minors

      This is a medical issue and has been hijacked by groups who are exploiting it for political benefit. There are many valid reasons to postpone puberty or to initiate gender clarification before puberty. One of the few countries which publishes data is the USA. In the past 5 years, there are less than 950 patients with gender dysphoria under the age of 18, who are being treated with puberty blockers. The unpleasant reality is that gender dysphoria is a real medical condition and it is more likely found in certain populations. For example, that data suggests that there is a higher prevalence in people with illnesses such as schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorder. A genetic association is also identified as one of the causes of the condition. Heritability and familiality of the condition have been established. There is also a genetic basis as people with the condition show a specific sequence of nucleotides at a particular location on their DNA. Please understand that there is a difference between adults who may believe that they are transgenders and the prepubescents who are born with a demonstrable gender dysphoria. Some of these children are born with endocrine systems and brains that have not developed properly such that a gender was not fully established. others are born with damaged or missing genitalia, or reproductive organs. A kid may look like a male on the outside, but if there are no testicles or a malformed penis and a quasi uterus, an intervention is needed. If a child is subject to a chemical cocktail while in the womb it can disrupt gender assignment . This then must be completed in childhood.
