These recent articles about the replacement of 10.000 people and the way that was handled won't help the cause either.

BANGKOK (AP) — The human rights group Amnesty International has strongly criticized UNESCO and its World Heritage program for failing to challenge the Cambodian government’s ongoing mass evictions at the famous centuries-old Angkor Wat temple complex.

The London-based organization in a report released Tuesday charged that the evictions of an estimated 10,000 families by Cambodian authorities violated international and national law.

It said the evicted people have received little or no compensation and the government’s two main resettlement sites have inadequate facilities in terms of roads, water and electricity supplies and sanitation.

The number of air passengers passing through SAI has increased to 32,000 per day, increasing from just 26,000 in October, when the airport was put into commencement.

The average number of air passengers increased from 2,600 to 3,200 per day, and most of them are from ASEAN countries and China, SSCA’s Under Secretary of State Sin Chansereyvutha told Khmer Times.

The number of air passengers passing through the newly -commenced Siem Reap-Angkor International Airport (SAI) has continued to grow, with a record of 3,200 a day, up from 2,600 on October 24.

Is this a regular service or just a PR stunt?

Can anyone unpick this? Is it 32000 per day, or 3200?

Well spotted, there are 14 arrival flights today. So if you say 28 movements - that would mean 1,142 per plane (32000/28). I think we can assume an extra zero get added in the enthusiasm.
At 114 pax per plane, that is a challenging load factor given that most of the planes are A320/321s.
BTW, there are no flights to or from China today. One is scheduled for tomorrww (Kunming).

How does SAI get direct flights to Da Nang? How much demand is there for that route? What is even stranger is the price. If you want to go next week it will set you back $466, and if you want to book in January it is even more at $510. What is that all about?

This 777 world tour flight obviously gave them ideas. The recent articles contain suggestions of flights to SAI from other "tourist centers", e.g. Denpasar, Da Nang, Cebu.
As for pricing, this is the way - if you haven't got enough customers and you're losing money, simply increase the price until you're in profit. To be fair, that can work on occasions and is a recognised economic phenomenon.
