Don't ASEAN travellers have free movement? Perhaps they are only keeping track of those who receive visas or make entry at border checkpoints in international airports?John Bingham wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2024 8:55 pmThe figures show a huge number of Thais and Vietnamese visiting. However I wonder if the figures include those just popping across the border to go to casinos or do business?armchairlawyer wrote: ↑Sat Feb 24, 2024 8:31 pm I believe the two countries that contribute the biggest numbers of tourists are Thailand and Vietnam. But no comment on what they like to do in Cambodia!

ASEAN get a 14 day stamp, (some 30 days) to Cambodia, Some, if living/working n border markets get day passes both ways
I am sure they are not counted
BUT the thais coming into to gamble are

Re: Foreigners Mix and Match Cambodia’s Tourists Destinations
The people who analyse international tourism in Cambodia simply use the airport arrival stats. They know there is no point including the land border arrivals because either they are mostly not genuine tourists, or they are only staying a few hours to visit a casino or they won't be spending significant amounts of money.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 9:21 amNO free movementHaifongWangchuck wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 6:10 amDon't ASEAN travellers have free movement?

The article in OP did the same thing by ignoring the nationalities who provide the highest number of "tourists" but whose numbers are very low if you only look at the airport arrival stats.
