I want to go to Kratie or Stung Treng tomorrow, and one of my relatives claim that the road is closed on National Road 7 after Kratie. Has anyone heard of this?

It seems like it maybe a rumor, but am not sure.

Any other closures around the country that may be an indicator?

I'm not doubting your info, but are you sure that the road to Kratie and Stung Treng is open for people coming from PP ? I'm wondering because there have been news reports saying that some provinces (which have no declared virus cases, like Kratie and Stung Treng) are placing travelers arriving from PP in quarantine because PP is a high risk Covid area.
If you gather some info on this on your trip down, that would be useful to know.
Cheers.

Ratanakiri
Stueng Treng
Kratie
Kampong Cham
Kandal
Phnom Penh

Paid 350.000 khr for the taxi just by myself.

Hi Kammekor,

Thank you for your report and good luck that you were doing the trip at this time. So you did not see any checkpoints going the other direction as well? As someone mentioned, it's possible they're letting people go from the provinces to Phnom Penh but they don't want to let people go the other direction.

In terms of there being no buses, that's also a big obstacle for us. Are there also none of the good quality minivans (Khmer call "Ford" or "VIP") And none of the local minivans (called "toureeh" in Khmer)?

Our family member in that region thinks that the issue is with the local authorities will ask a lot of questions if you just suddenly show up from Phnom Penh.
