SIN is an interesting option as no more test is required for transiting in SIN and they are going to scrap their VTL concept very soon


Indeed, Cambodia had among the craziest requirements until last November. The deposit you mentioned was also intended to cover eventually…your cremation if you died from Covid there (I am not joking !!). Now this is all over.


Really ? I have a totally different experience. I have been many times in Cambodia and I have always found the people wonderful and I have never found them hostile against tourists. Of course they have their least favorite ones : particularly the groups of mainland Chinese because of their usually disrespectful and contemptuous behavior.
I have been only once in Sihanoukville 7-8 years ago and didn’t like it at all and I know the situation has worsened a lot there as it’s been totally invaded by Chinese investors who are ruining the city and landscape putting ugly concrete everywhere and all is left abandoned since the beginning of the pandemic. As you said some Russians oligarchs were also interested by this place. Definitely not my cup of tea and I don’t recommend to go there. But, close to Sihanoukville, you have some very pleasant places like Kep and Kampot.
Definitely, seeing Siem Reap and the Angkor park without all the invaders is a must at the moment.
