Foreigners to be charged “$3000 deposit” for C-19 quarantine, tests

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

I have no idea how long it will be in place.
However, I see there are 4 flights into PP today from China, I doubt all these Chinese traveler’s would have access to 3K. This is like 4 months salary to the average engineers/office staff.
I am thinking it’s going to be a shit fight trying to get through customs.

Going by your insensitive avatar you've never had anyone in your family hang themselves - well I have.

Are you 12 or something?

does anyone trust them to repay the balance promptly? Or will it be the usual racket of creating a bureaucratic wall to climb?

I was going to book a flight for early next month, now I think I'll wait.

Off topic. If it's really a big problem, PM the OP, or better yet go somewhere to get some exercise and calm down. I've had someone in my family hang myself and it's not offensive to me. What's offensive to me is your superiority complex, thinking you can judge others based on a rather ambiguous avatar. What if OP was struggling with suicidal tendencies, and his/her avatar was a reflection of that? Your sufferings don't make you more important than other people, especially those you don't know.
