Re: More tourists enter Cambodia after Thai bombings.
i would like to see the stats for the same days that left Cambodia
how any were doing visa runs?
+ no bombs went off up in Issan,
in fact the only provinces where bombs did go off were in the southern areas where they all voted yes for the new constitution.

Re: More tourists enter Cambodia after Thai bombings.
This is simply a certified report that more tourists than usual have entered Cambodia from Thailand through Poipet. Reasons for leaving remain speculative, but 2+2 sometimes equals 4.phuketrichard wrote:i would like to see the stats for the same days that left Cambodia

A "few hundred" people coming in to Cambodia versus a few thousand is a significant daily increase. Does anyone have other reasons that might explain the exodus ? Apart from the bombs ?Friday saw 2,500 visitors, while Saturday and Sunday saw a total of 3,728, he said.
“In this low season, we normally have only a few hundred entries” per day, Mr. Sereyvuth said. “I assume the increase is due to the Thai bombings, because there haven’t been such high numbers of tourists before in this period.”

Yes. They have all heard that the price of a day ticket to Angkor Wat is going to increase from $20 to $37.CEOCambodiaNews wrote: Does anyone have other reasons that might explain the exodus ? Apart from the bombs ?
