    Always worth looking in the relevant local forum. Avoid the "experts"

    Just because they say something it doesn't make it the law. Ask to speak to the OIC.

    The casino is owned by a former Thai politician who is wanted in Thailand for stealing . I believe also wanted in USA. Poipet is in Cambodia. Not "a God forsaken country"

    Still asking for THB 2000 there. They will come down a bit if you are prepared to wait.

    Previously if you crossed the road any vehicle coming along would veer off to go behind you. That rarely happens now. So much more traffic in the last year or so. Where did it come from? Krud giveaways? I was in Koh Kong recently. There is a morning and afternoon rush hour when it is impossible to cross the two main streets safely. Very few Cambodians wear spectacles. Maybe that is a contributing factor.

    Coming thru the border crossing near Koh Kong recently there was a tail back of trucks about half a mile long. Logistic companies in Koh Kong are flat out moving goods on

    They run scams on internet. Some are Malaysian and Singaporean

    It's not deep water there. Naval bases don't allow tourists in anywhere. Try to get in the naval base in Chiang Khong.

    Before the new Padang Besar Malaysia station was built there was an immigration in Padang Besar Thailand where you took a short walk to the old station. Was much more convenient There was a border wall. Smugglers used to sit on the wall and hand the goods to a motorbike rider who took off thru the rubber plantation. They were smuggling onions, cooking oil and cookies.

    When you exit the airport you will see a transport desk. There are taxis. Otherwise you can walk out to the street to get a tuktuk or of not much luggage a motorbike taxi. There is also a local city bus. There are some supermarkets same as anywhere in the world. They have western, Thai and Vietnam products. There is an international airport at Siem Reap.

    Vehicles drive against the traffic flow because it's a long way to drive in the opposite direction to find a way over to the correct side. Same thing happens on the hiway from the border to Trat

    It's a Bit of a mystery. Most Cambodians don't use banks. The economy has faded because of covid and they have lost trade benefits because of the human rights record.

    There is a mobile food hawker who sells' jellyfish'. It definitely looks like pieces of clear jellyfish . Has anyone seen this?. I like squid but not sure about jellyfish

    Take shuttle train from Haad Yai to Padang Besar Malaysia station. The return time is flexible as they will wait for everyone who was on the connecting Kommuter train to clear customs and immigration. Should have enough time. Buy the return shuttle train ticket upstairs before heading for Malaysia exit immigration. Can pay in MYR or THB

    If going thru Padang use the shuttle train to from Haad Yai.. Immigration on station platforms only open when shuttle is there. Using road crossing may be tedious
  22. my friend I
    There is a fair bit of work done thru to Chomphon but there are gaps also. Lots of cement for new stations, staff housing, platforms and overpasses.Many workers are Burmese. A long way to go still.

    His Majesty is paying for the funerals
  24. my friend I
    OP In case you don't know, there is a Padang Besar station in Thailand. Don't get off there.
  25. my friend I
    I believe it's only open just before the shuttles are leaving.
