That's right. Being in Cambodia is better than being in some other places right now, for example Melbourne.

Come on, mid March the writings were on the wall, in CAPITAL letters.
I must have been reading special tea leaves because I saw it coming. And if you read back on this forum you will be see I wasn’t the only one adding up the numbers.

Mid March when I flew from NZ to Australia cutting my time spent with my mum sort because I had a flight back to Phnom Penh 28th April there was no way anyone could imagine an airline would stop all flights for more than a few weeks, but now Qantas talking about not flying till July next year unbelievable

Mid March it was clear Cambodia was preparing to close its’ borders. If I remember well there was a time frame of about 5 days to take action. Some used it to run, some used it to come back, and many ignored it. I was in Thailand at that time and I cut my business trip short, I didn’t want to risk being stuck there.
When Cambodia closed down I knew my family holiday to Thailand in April would be cancelled. Still had hopes for our trip to Europe in September though, That hope has vanished now. So yes, it’s taking longer than I expected too, but it didn’t come by surprise.

I agree. There were volunteers helping at NGOs who chose to stay in Cambodia so they could continue helping when the restrictions are over. People thought it would be over quickly.

I also met a girl travelling around Cambodia who was not very aware of what was going on. Most TV is either in the Khmer language, which most foreigners cannot understand, or from other countries, where little is discussed about Cambodia.

First, you only seem to meet girls.

Second, you really believe traveling girls depend on local TV channels to know what's going on in the World? This is the age of mobile internet, remember? I am pretty sure by mid-March this girl had already received several messages and / or calls from here family back home checking on her well being, and Facebook was full of picture of Corona viruses. Mid-March CoViD-19 was more or less making the headlines of each and every media.

She decided it was not worth giving up her holiday, fair enough. But who's to blame for that?

I am actually the person in this article. You guys are horrible and trolls. I CAN NOT TRAVEL BECAUSE I HAVE A BROKEN LEG. I DO NOT WANT TO GET DVT. I am not a snowflake. I have worked hard all my life. I can enter Sweden. I have a residence permit for Norway. I have to wait until it’s safe to travel for my leg. The complete ignorance in this thread. I know many have it worse off than us, but believe me, Kampot isn’t filled with junkies and hippies. Why the fuck would be do a go fund me page? The whole article is meant to spark change, for the sick and elderly stuck here. There are people sick, in need, and the government isn’t doing anything to support them. Flights are still cancelled or extremely expensive. Don’t believe what you see on google or online. Why don’t you spend hours on the phone to the airlines to see who can accomodate my health needs during a global pandemic. Why do you get stuck without electricity on an island when the boarders close and you have no idea what is happening. Why don’t you break your leg when your medical insurance lapsed because of the ‘do not travel ban’ in Aus and spend thousands of USD to fix your leg. Hence, the no money. No empathy here from you guys, just hate. Spread it somewhere else.

It’s been 5 months! While it may have been difficult to get flights out in April and May, lately there have been flights pretty much daily to Seoul and Taipei from which they could get connections home.
You can see hundreds of “stuck” tourists hanging out in Kampot bars with not a worry in the world. Feel sorry for the paying relatives who believe in those sob stories.

So a lack of empathy equals hate.... And when you fail to renew your medical insurance that's on you. Your failings make for your consequences. My 72 year old mother, who has been here since January, renewed hers a few months ago.... not hard at all.

Listen Snowflake!

I have played Rugby all my life and have broken more bones in my body than the average “stuck“ fuckface in Kampot (looking at you, snowflake) smokes joints in a month. The article said that you snowflakes are stuck because allegedly there are no flights.
I had loads of friends and clients fly out and back into Cambodia (!!!) in the past two months. Yes, flights are a bit more expensive but there are flights EVERY DAY, snowflake.
Also, you can easily fly a few days after a broken leg has been put into a cast, so stop sobbing, snowflake!

You let your insurance laps? Fucking dumb move, snowflake!
