Can I apply for a new tourist visa in Cambodia after my current extension ends?

Question

My tourist visa (already extended by 30 days) ends on 29th March. I'm from the UK, and i want to make a new tourist visa and come back here (Thailand). Options have been dropping like flies over the last few days. Looking for some answers regarding Cambodia...
1. I see there are flights from Bangkok to Phnom Penh - as things currently stand, is it possible to fly there? (i.e. will they let me in?) and if so, do I need a visa in advance?
1. I'd like to apply for a new SE Tourist visa at the Thai Embassy at Phnom Penh - will this be possible? or is it likely they would reject the application at this time?
1. As things currently stand, is it possible to fly into Bangkok from Phnom Penh with a valid tourist visa? (I'm aware that as a UK national you need to have the medical certificate, the insurance that covers COVID-19, and a 14 day quarantine will be mandatory - not a problem)

Been following as much of the updates as possible recently, but feel like i might have missed something crucial about Cambodia. The above would be a great solution for me, but seems too good to be true.

Useful info here: [url redacted] Although this is concerning: "Please note that, according to our latest information, Cambodian authorities and hospitals are unable to issue a medical certificate regarding COVID-19 unless the traveler has shown symptoms and has tested negative."

It is POSSIBLE that Thai immigration is going to announce something soon, I have seen a purported document that there are going to be special extensions for a list of countries which includes the UK, even if they can't get a letter from their embassy (it specifically mentions this). This document has apparently circulated around visa agents/lawyers, dated the 18th. This is total hearsay and the devil is in the details though.

Better read this.  Need test no older than 72 hours and proof of a health insurance policy worth $100,000 in coverage. [url redacted]

Same for me guys, my visa extension expires 31st March. It seems that most borders are closed at this stage. I was advised to contact immigration regarding the situation, not sure if it will help, bit at least it's something. Don't want to get blacklisted for over staying, at the same time there are few places to go. Definitely don't want to go home either. If Cambodia hasn't closed its borders then great. Let me know if that's the case. We are all in this together, hopefully something can be resolved soon.

Just found this article which was written on the 16th. "Last week he moved to ban "foreigners traveling from" Italy, Germany, Spain, France, and the U.S., effective March 17. He later extended the restrictions to Iran. On Saturday, he released a further statement urging Cambodians not to visit the targeted countries." --- "Nationals from the six countries who have not been in their homelands for more than 14 days can enter Cambodia but must show proof of their whereabouts during the two-week period," [url redacted]

Stuart ****** · Answer

It was just that I saw there are Air Asia flights running from Bangkok to Phnom Penh that made me think the borders aren't closed. But maybe they are though and this is the crucial bit of info that i have failed to pick up on...

Christov ******** · Answer

As far as I know now.. all borders are closed. But that will means lots of people here stuck. So I am sure there will be an announcement of some sort that we can all just extend
