Pretty naïve bro - you may not realise that the globe was affected, and I guess that's a symptom of a bubble, but most places on the planet are now recovering. My offer stands - take a day for a guided tour down here and be surprised. Petrol on me.

This makes me laugh because it's so typical of the Kampot foreigners. For more than a decade they have tried to deny that anything has ever gone wrong there. The local social media groups are infamous for censoring any bad news about the place. Rapes, robberies, murders are all covered up in the interests of the "good vibes". So my personal experience of being in the town and seeing all the empty and abandoned businesses at the height of COVID was just imagined? Get real, nobody is buying that.

Here you go again .... your perceptions from your cave in PP is based on your fellow travelers on CEO and your thinking that reality is from a single FB group? So your "personal experience of being in the town and seeing all the empty and abandoned businesses at the height of COVID was just imagined?" Seems your blinkered eye patches didn't see all the closed business in PP and especially riverside as you obviously base your comments on the main tourist area of Kampot. You obviously failed to notice a similar trend in Europe, Asia, America or virtually any country on Earth? SR was a ghost town - forget to criticize that? Get real Kampot was not in isolation and the only person buying that is you. Come on wise man - take me up on my offer - I will even shout you tickets on Giant Ibis ( you know that PP bus company that delivered tourists all around Cambodia and neighboring countries that shut down over covid ) that now has 4 buses a day coming to Kampot. Put up or stop whining - I left PP, where I lived for some years, because of wanker elitists who think living in a capital city is the bee's knees.

Travellers to the US from China will be required to take a COVID-19 test no more than two days before travel and provide a negative test before boarding their flight. The testing applies to anyone two years old and above.

Other countries have taken similar steps in an effort to keep infections from spreading beyond China's borders. Japan will require a negative COVID-19 test upon arrival for travelers from China, and Malaysia announced new tracking and surveillance measures. India, South Korea and Taiwan are requiring virus tests for visitors from China.
