***Typo alert***

How did he get through the testing at the airport? I know they don't need a negative test prior to travel, but they are supposed to go through it at the airport. And how did they discover him 13 days later, is he sick?

no...where did you see that?? from my understanding you can go into your own place/apt/guesthouse after all test negative.. if test positive you put in quarantine for the 14 days... i think your confusing things.. also who gives a fuck what your neighbors think... i know your just saying that to increase the quality of your scenario ..lol. i am sure your neighbors dont know wht you really do when your in cambodia anyway.. lol

Simple spend your 3 week holiday somewhere else where you don't need to quarantine eg stay home. I'm pretty sure reading most news about covid most countries prefer only citizens to return home and are closed for tourist to stop covid coming into their country.

If 1 passenger tests positive, the entire flight then into 14 day government quarantine. So 15-16 days of the paid for hotel reservation will be unused.

If they entire flight tests negative, stay in self quarantine at the hotel for another 14 days.

Emerge after over 2 weeks of confinement to see the Kingdom of Wonder for a day or two before heading back home.

Back home, when the neighbors ask how was the 3 week vacation, the reply will be, I enjoyed the Kingdom of Wonder for a day or two, and the inside of a hotel room for over 2 weeks. Sure the neighbors will be frothing to come to Cambodia after that.

Hope more sensible polices to attract tourists will be forthcoming.

I'm starting to wonder if it would be easier to visit Cambodian wife or girlfriend in neighboring country when the smoke clears soon. Maybe holiday indo Vietnam, ect. Other countries changing rules often... It might come down to a 30 day holiday in neighboring country or a massive quarantine/hassle Cambodia. Not practical but maybe
