Wow.
Sounds like the stories you hear about high-season Rome or Paris. I thought the turning point would be indicated by the first McDonald's opening, but it sounds like it's already here.
Would also have to wonder how many in that crowd were trying to see it all in one day.
A major negative consequence of all the increase in flights by Bangkok Airways and others would be all those with "more money than time" and the kind of footprint that leaves. Cambodia initially resisted granting that BKK-REP route...no doubt the pop-in/pop-out factor costs other places like PP visits.
