Road Closures for National Election

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.

especially people living in big towns.

paranoid much
Do you have anything to back this up with? I doubt it very much. The city is obviously safer, more police and other security forces around. Would seem kind a dumb to travel to the middle of nowhere where no such forces would be around, I would think.
not really
apart from my family,their friends families,the owner of the bar I drink at family and lots of barang friends wives family.

so no not any evidence

Yes, that's why so many go to the provinces over the election and why the following Monday is a holiday.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
