Alcohol Sales Banned/No dining-in - PP

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.

Well, as long as there's some Klang. :dragonchase:
To add to that quote Anchor Moy, you may not see a Anchor delivery truck running around the city, but what you will see is that in the countryside the homebrew whiskey stills are working on overtime due to demands. Their are some who see profit in supply.

I saw a Cambodia Beer truck the other day, and found myself scanning how many guys were in the front to see if I could take them.

I saw friend"s photos on FB, dining in in Sofitel obviously allowed. I drove down the stinky canal road today and I saw 2 street eateries with Khmer sitting at the plastic chairs/tables eating their lunch. So dinning in ban yes or no?

Both.

Sofitel and Palace Gate are fine. Probably many more of the top end are doing the same with their pools and gyms open. I know Palace Gate has been at it for a while.

Casual khmer open air dining are opening and having a go and nobody seems too troubled

Small Western owned bar/restaurants are still in limbo, but this weekend might throw up a big surprise with doors reopened and booze allowed.
