Re: Angkor Wat: significant price increases from today.
First visas went up 10 dollars for a tourist, Then the USD gained strength, Now the temple price almost doubles for a day trip.
Many poor younger people will skip Siem reap for Otres, Kampot and the islands, many already could not afford the 20 dollar ticket after been scammed in Poipet by dodgy Bus operators , overpriced Visas, fake Immigration on the Thai side and currency conversion rip offs.

Pretty much everything you state here is wrong. I am sure the vast majority of gap-year travelers will continue to visit Angkor Wat, thanks to Daddy's credit card. Not everyone is as skint as you obviously are. I'd wager that the increased fees will have zero impact on the number of visitors; if you have just spent a few Grand on your trip, USD 62.00 for a three-day ticket is not going to make much of a difference.phrammoianchor wrote:First visas went up 10 dollars for a tourist, Then the USD gained strength, Now the temple price almost doubles for a day trip.

Re: Angkor Wat: significant price increases from today.
A senseless comparison. We are talking about Angkor Wat here which, compared to many other must-see sights is still pretty cheap. Twenty Dollars a day is chickenfeed, as is a beer for a USD 3.80 (my favorite IPA at the Black Swan in Bangkok is USD 9.00).phrammoianchor wrote:If a bar double its beers from 2 dollars a pop to 3.8 dollars a pop would it affect clientelle?hanno wrote:Pretty much everything you state here is wrong.

There are no "poor shoe-string travelers", there are just entitled twats who spend thousands on airline tickets and then haggle over 500 Riel. How often do you imagine expats in Siem Reap visit the temples?phrammoianchor wrote: OK so if it doesn't t put off young poor shoe string travelers then it's gonna put off expats who live in SR.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
Re: Angkor Wat: significant price increases from today.
If I am well informed, there are 4 Mio. visitors in Angkor per year. That mean, till now they have around 80 Mio entry fee a year. From now, it will be 148 Mio $ per year, if the number of visitors stay identic.
I am a little bit curious, but can someone explain me, what they do with all the money ? Angkor not looking like they invest 10 Mio. $ a year in it. It will be much less. Where is the difference and who have it ?

How often do you suppose the average expat in SR, not employed in the travel sector, is visiting the temples each year?phrammoianchor wrote:OK so if it doesn't t put off young poor shoe string travelers then it's gonna put off expats who live in SR.hanno wrote:A senseless comparison.
