“Cambodia needs more quality infrastructure, such as bridge, national road and road leading to the remote tourism destinations, at the same time, staff need to be trained in tourism and hospitality course.

Wow, that's pretty good.

I'm guessing we would have seen a lot more Vietnamese tourists if it hadn't been for the whole CNRP Sam Rainsy political stuff going on, which involved the whole "Youn" thing too.

only thing is that i doubt the Vietnamese spend the same amount of $$ the Barangs do.

And it's a short trip for them, so I wouldn't be surprised if some actually bring along their own rice, rice cooker and a 20L bottle of water when they visit Cambodia.
