Exactly.... And how many tourists did Cambodia have last year ? How many do they hope to get this year ?

LOL. Classy.

It added that the cremation service charge for a dead body is $1,500.

As I posted before no airline will sell enough seats to fly under these rules, effectively its the same as a flight ban.

I wonder what the land border restrictions will be once laos, Vietnam or Thailand open?
