Prime Minister HE has decided to lift all quarantine requirements for fully vaccinated travellers and visitors – both Cambodians and foreign nationals – effective from November 15 onward.

In a special message addressed to officials and relevant authorities on November 14, HE said this policy will enable the country to fully reopen and that it mirrored the policies of other countries in the region. He also emphasised that any unvaccinated travellers must still undergo a 14-day quarantine.

“Cambodia is almost fully vaccinated at nearly 88 per cent of the total population of around 16 million. So, there is no quarantine requirement any longer, except for those who have not been vaccinated who still need to do a 14-day quarantine like before,” he said.

He said fully vaccinated travellers will only need to take a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test and wait for the results at their accommodation. If the results are negative, they can then travel anywhere in Cambodia.

Smart move by the authorities, if they had waited until nearer Xmas they would have lost the peak high season (barang) market.

And with the bars closed in all of Thailand until Jan 16, a wonderful opportunity to capture all of the entertainment market.

It will be mostly barangs. Chinese cannot come or are heavily disincentivised. Malaysians cannot come by land border. General covid paranoia of most Asians will deter them for a while longer.

Basically they stole a march on Thailand. Just need to promote it in the barag countries and tempt plenty of short notoce bookings.

you seriously think that there are many "Tourists" that will now travel from europe and beyond, to Only Cambodia vs Thailand ( only 1 night quarantine), just cause they can have a drink in a bar?
