Open but with slightly reduced number of vendors. We’re seeing a few gaps between the market vendors that are on the street outside Samaki Market. We’ve looked out onto the street for nearly 4 years now and it’s usually solid with no gaps... now there’s a few but most are there everyday.
Have prices gone up ?

I paid $ 4. 50 for 5 bananas a few days ago and they were all black inside . I swear that when I leave this '' lucky country '' I will never complain ever again of paying 3,500 r for a bunch of bananas .

On the other hand.... Tomorrow I'll have my private taxi to Phnom Penh from Ratanakiri for just 350,000r. Great times (in some ways...). :stir:

Its all "swings and roundabouts" you buy Cambodian bananas for less than a dollar, I get them given free from my Khmer friend. I buy the imported $1.70 bananas from the supermarket because I am not found of sweet local varieties. My friend calls with takeaway Lok Lac from the local restaurant, something to me does not taste right, I shit for two days. I gave her chocolate she now shits too. what worries me more here is if there becomes a food shortage.

My wife has said there are small increases and on further questioning as to the reason given by the vendors it is because while the borders are still open the people bringing goods across are having to pay extra “taxes”. She said it was mainly affecting the meat suppliers

Don't be silly. This is Cambodia.

Question for the old-timers - have you ever known Cambodia to go completely dry ? I remember when they shut a few bars in PP during elections, but it wasn't exactly dry. You could still find beer without working up a sweat.

The few times when alcohol sales were banned during elections/ mourning for Sihanouk etc it was still easy to get booze.

Look at who owns / controls the brewery. If no beer is sold he will be unhappy with no money coming in .

Who owns the breweries? Cambrew is a Malaysian company in partnership with Carlsberg. Khmer Beverages are a Chip Mong Group company. Attwood Group is one of the main importers of booze, they are owned by Oknha Lim Chhiv Ho.
How are they different to any other businesses that need money coming in?
