Cambodia - Reduced Quarantine on Arrival

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

As my thai visa runs out on 22th, i plan to come overthere next weekend. If the insurance-issue is claired, if not i will apply for my own-countrys-insurance. And preparing my bags !!
How is the tuktuk service from airport to the riverside, was 9$ IN 2019 if i remember good ??
Many hotels are still closed i hear ?? Probably give CASA hotel near Wat Phnom a try, was there in januari 2020 and liked it, good proce/quality in my eyes !!
That's your basic 30-day Tourist visa, yes?

Wish Cambodia didn't confuse things by using the term e-visa to designate online purchase of the Tourist visa, and E-visa, as in ER(etired) and EB(usiness).

I think historically, those who were asked for an onward ticket when boarding a flight to Phnom Penh were (some) travelers who didn't have a visa and planned to buy a visa on arrival. Not people who already had a visa for Cambodia, which is currently the only option.

Yeah if you’ve already got your visa its not normally an issue, airlines only ask for onward travel because if you turn up and fail to get your VOA then its down to the airline to return you, so its the airlines covering their backs, if you got a visa then responsibility is nothing to do with the airlines

Playing around with the idea of a BKK-PNH-BKK trip. Have to stay at least 21 days to get in on the 1-day quarantine on return to Bangkok.

Bangkok Airways, which says it is starting up the route in December, is up to its old tricks.

Initial fares pop up, then when you select the fare, all the other charges are added. December round trip Bangkok to Phnom Penh is 9,420 baht!! That's about US$300.

Can't remember the pre-pandemic fares but seems to me they were cheaper.

No flights at AirAsia or Cambodia Angkor Air.

I did buy the forte insurance for 30 days for $120 as I couldn't get a clear answer anywhere if its necessary, been told its not needed for the tourist visa but then have also read its required for entry. I'll update on Saturday if its checked

There's no requirement to stay out for at least 21 days if you're coming from Thailand and travel to a "safe country", as in your case. Their concern seems to be people who have visited "countries not on the list" before coming to Thailand.

Richard Barrow just blogged about his short trip to the UK and back to Bangkok. I think he staid less than a week and it was fine.
