Well whose got more brains and knows how to use it and organize things. Just go have a look at Ankor Wat and compare that to any Thai temple. The answer is obvious.

Fortunately Cambodia was proactive and signed up to the COVAX scheme early. Along with associated medical supplies, the Royal Government was able to instigate a comprehensive vaccination program throughout the country, albeit much smaller than Thailand. I recently had my first free jab but not the vaccine I would have preferred, however it is better than nothing and I now possess my vaccination card (very similar to a bank plastic ATM card) to indicate I have been vaccinated.
