Visitors to Cambodia Spike After Thai Terror
by Hang Sokunthea | August 18, 2016

The number of visitors crossing into Cambodia through Poipet City spiked after last week’s bombings at tourist sites in Thailand, according to a senior official in the Banteay Meanchey provincial tourism department.

The number of tourists coming in through the border town per day has almost doubled since Friday compared to the days that preceded it, which saw between 700 and 1,000 daily entries, the normal amount for this time of year, said Chhoeun Sereyvuth, deputy head of tourism in the province...

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.

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.

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.”

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 ?

So when there is no business its time to put the prices up and when there is a heavy flow of business its time to put the prices up .
ASEAN economics for you.

Yes. They have all heard that the price of a day ticket to Angkor Wat is going to increase from $20 to $37.
