Traveling in Times of Coronavirus

Do you have a Cambodian trip report you want to share? Post it here, and feel free to link to your blog if it's a travel blog for Cambodia, South East Asia, or anywhere really. You can ask and answer questions about travel advice in Cambodia or just share your pictures and videos with us. Most people who live in or visit Cambodia have also checked out nearby countries like Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, and you can get to most of these countries by traveling overland, so put any travel plans, reviews or questions here. Discussions about dirt bike trails in here as well.

Tourists, I think they might be talking more about Chinese, who are coming to play at the casinos, or looking at investment. It was not a long time ago when it was mentioned that investors would possibly be allowed to travel without quarantine and use a phone app so authorities know the investors journey.

Even if vaccinated tourists are allowed, they will probably still need to take a test, and will be quarantined if they fail. I can't see many tourists willing to take that risk.


Vaccine passports are 12 months if not longer away IMO
Judging by this graphic of vaccination rates, 'local' tourism, is still a long way off. 12 months sounds about right. And by this I mean - hassle free - test free - just rock up and fly travel.

I think it doesnt really matter because we all need to take pcr swab test to get on our first flight-- where ever that may be. In the Singapore document it states from the first part of your journey

but yea. these things can change and don't want to be tossed because of something like this.

France to allow UK tourists to enter if fully vaccinated

This is all well and good, but people still need to arrange PCR tests while there, more tests when they come home, passenger locator forms, plus 10 days isolation. The vast majority of people won't want all that grief for 2 weeks in the sun.

Arrivals who have had two vaccine doses will only need to show proof of negative antigen test

First thing to consider: His nationality and his right to enter The Netherlands. The list is long but if he has an EU passport he will be ok. This website will tell you who can and can't enter.
https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/world.php

Interestingly, he does NOT need a Covid-19 test 72 hours before if he has a vaccination certificate with a vaccine that includes Sinopharm and Sinovac at least 14 days before arrival. The Netherlands do not specify which countries certificates are acceptable (most do).

DO NOT test this out though, I doubt you get passed Phnom Penh Airport, but it is noteworthy that at least one EU country is accepting vax certificates from anywhere. How long this lasts is another matter.

Yes, there's always the lights.

How Blackpool became a “dumping ground” for the socially excluded
Beyond the fun of Blackpool Tower and Pleasure Beach is one of England’s most deprived communities.
