The locals outside the tourist industry could care less one way or another if a foreigner ever stepped foot in their country, especially an unvaccinated tourist.

I’d have to disagree wholeheartedly on this ..... everywhere I’ve travelled in Asia and just about anywhere in the world, when I’ve ventured off the beaten track I’ve found warmth and welcoming people’s ..... proud if sometimes surprised that a foreigner was interested in their country .... They’re always happy to share their culture, language & food with me ....... Now on the other hand,in the tourist areas I’ve encountered plenty of animosity and barang fatigue ... scams and out right belligerence if apparently I’m not spending enough money ..... Maybe I’m just lucky and spend most of my time mixing with folks who haven’t made tourism money their God and are just happy to see a stranger who is interested in them.

I may have misspoke. I have never had a bad experience either, in Thailand, even in the most remote areas, always a pleasant vacation with the friendliest people no matter what part of the country I traveled too. What I meant was many parts of the countries I mentioned that are not affected by tourism, those individuals are conscious of the types of infections going around and wouldn’t want foreigners who are not vaccinated entering their country. Given how the government in some of these countries put these people in lockdown because of Covid, especially in the Philippines and Vietnam, I doubt they want unvaccinated foreigners coming into their country without some kind of safeguard so they don’t have to go through this again.

But as I said originally, vaccination status does not stop transmission.

My 4th day of hunger strike
I have 1 shot of what seemed to be an innocuous vaccine produced according to what is known as a vaccine (inactive virus) from Sinopharm. The result was 10 days of breathing problems. I resisted having a second one.
I had to travel to England. England does not accept vaccination proofs from Cambodia nor Sinopharm, but I had to follow a quarantine, fine! Not rigorous and on the 5th day I passed a PCR test to Release and go free.

Upon my arrival to Cambodia, despite having 4 negative PCR, one PCR 36 shorts before my arrival and another one on arrival I was sentenced to 2 weeks in what they subtlety like to soften the word as quanrentine. but it's a jail.

There are cameras on the corridor, guardians, and we are not even allowed to walk out of our room.
I would understand if there was a chance of infection but there are ways to know whether a person is infected or not. We are already 2 years into this matter.
I refuse to eat and hope this will end soon

1. Cambodia's entry requirements are no secret, clearly stated that travelers who are not fully vaccinated/unvaccinated are required to undergo quarantine, at their own expense.

2. Quarantine means quarantine

3. Quarantine period was reduced to 7 days, so he won't have to do 14 days as long as he tests negative.

Not sure what he hopes to achieve by going on a hunger strike, apart from saving money
