Whatzup - Breaking Cambodia Covid News on Outbreaks and Lockdowns

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.

Interprovincial travel is a breeze now. From personal experience. Demand is extremely low though, so finding a van or taxi might be difficult unless you're willing to hire the whole or organize your own group traveling together and sharing. Bus travel seems still banned, didn't see one on the road during my 8 hour blissful trip.

i don't believe they are officially banned, nor are shared taxis
but obviously they don't want hordes of factory workers fleeing home

They were. Vireak Buntham for instance was told by the government to suspend all bus services seven weeks ago.

I was looking on bookmebus (whatever that site is) and there were still vans listed as operating. Are they not? I want to go to SR in the next couple of weeks.
