RE: We Are Flying Soon ✈️ Tickets Booked 🎫 Goodbye Suriname

The process of getting into Cambodia seems relatively straight forward and standard. Asking for a $1000 deposit isn't really that big of a deal provided that it actually IS a deposit and not theft. Hopefully this means that you are able to acquire a long-stay visa as well?
I feel you on the parents thing and can share your experience with no one coming to visit. I've lived in SEA for nearly 20 years and in that time I was lucky to have my mother visit one time and just 2 of my friends ever came in all that time even though they had a free tour guide as well as a free place to stay.
It is a big ask of Americans though since as you might recall all those years ago, we are not a people that get long periods of time off from work. I will likely visit USA for exactly the same reason of seeing the parents soon as well. But I am not going to do it until I am assured that I will be able to return afterwards.
I'm just happy that things are finally looking up for you!
Yeah, whatever is not spent on the quarantine goes back to your pocket, but now we've just heard news no quarantine is required for vaxxed folks. We're fortunately or unfortunately part of the vaxxed crowd, so even though my family's quarantine doesn't cost a dime, they are stoked to not face a 7-day quarantine on arrival.
Because the deposit will not be spent on a quarantine for me, I may not even need to fork it over, or perhaps I will get it all back. We're currently trying to get the details of this updated policy.
Sounds like we have a similar situation in regards to family and friends, regretful but understandable. If all works out it would be really cool to host you and Nadi on some Cambodian adventures. We've got experience with this sort of thing. I imagine she'd be pretty happy perched at the back there with the breeze blowing. Even better we're going to buy the longer Piaggio Ape which has sideways jump seats in the back instead of a small perch.
