Situation in Siem Reap?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Situation in Siem Reap?

Post by King Keil »

A friend of mine is thinking of going over there during the corona time, he is now in PP. Are the bars and western restaurants still open? How about local food and markets? Maybe someone who is there can give a brief update. Much appreciated

Not much left open, though a lot of restaurants deliver. Really not the best time to travel @staythefuckathome

The wife visited Psar Leu today (the largest market in Siem Reap) and said 80% of it is closed.
Less than half of the restaurants are open.
Some bars are open.
Basically the whole city has slowed down and there is a weird atmosphere.
If you plan to visit the temples now is an amazing time...
