The bars now

This is the part of the forum where we discuss Cambodia's nightlife! While most bars, nightclubs, pubs, beer gardens, and hostess bars are in Phnom Penh, we discuss the Cambodian nightlife across all of Cambodia, including Siem Reap, Kampot, and Sihanoukville. The main nightlife areas in Phnom Penh are on Street 136, Street 130, Street 110 and Street 51, but there are other party spots that aren't girlie bars where expats, tourists, and locals drink until the sun comes up. Feel free to post specials and promotions that relate to nighttime fun!

But this same songkat, and the kahn, then said “no you can’t open - everyone knows you are really a bar with ladies”. I think they were leaned on by their bosses higher up the ladder.

There are plenty of restaurant/bars currently open are effectively just bars with no "ladies" and just the occasional meal.

When do you think the restart will begin? If the vaccines work, perhaps by August\September?
My two cents: they won't open the bars before the schools have been opened. Schools will open October first for the new school year.
New school year isn't until Jan.
Only some private schools in Phnom Penh run from Jan-Dec. All state schools and most private schools across the country follow the ministry guideline from Oct-Sept.

"According to the ministry’s separate guidelines issued yesterday, the grade 9 examinations will take place on Nov. 15, 2021 and the grade 12 examinations on Dec. 6 for the public schools; but on Oct. 11 and Oct. 25, respectively for the private schools.

The ministry also allowed private schools to prepare grade 9 and grade 12 examinations at their own institutions.

Year-end vacation is scheduled from Dec. 1 to 31, 2020 for public schools, added the same source."

What does that have to do with bars?

Since it's 2021 already this must be correct, right?

The exams for grade 9 and 12 have been delayed, reason: covid. It is possible they delayed the end of the school year in 2021 because no one has had any decent education since Feb 2021 (not even talking about the situation in 2020), but I have not yet seen an official statement from MoEYS about that. The normal situation is a schoolyear from Oct - Sept.

This school year started on Oct. 1st 2020, not on Jan 1st 2021. Some private schools in Phonm Penh, and maybe some outside of Phnom Penh, excepted.

If they don't open the schools for the next school year quite a lot of private schools will run in financial trouble I think. Who's going to pay full tuition fees to have their kids watch a tablet all day?

Not even talking about the education gap for the current generation youngsters.

I doubt private schools have the funding to even pay most teachers 25% of their salary come October

Not to mention why would parents even trust paying tuition fees if schools will probably close 1 or 2 months after reopening
