I love Cambodia and went there for my approved and unapproved visa application. It took about 4 weeks. I got approved at like 530 pm on a Friday, so I assume they are putting in work there.

As a gentle reminder, if you happened to be in Cambodia before traveling to Thailand, The Thai Immigrant Police will make you in hard times with hours of questions like you are criminal!!!
They will find the way to scare you or foreign travellers to avoid Cambodia if they want to visit Thailand

Toto Cam yes possible. In fact, there are some foreigners who are involved in scam camp and scam business directly or indirectly. many of them are mule for money laundry or just deliverers. That is why thailand tightened border controls and visa free cases. One of main reasons. I think most of cambodians are Ok, but some of cambodians worked with scam gangs together, especially politicians. Well, because of this, foreigners who want to visit Thailand, better avoid Cambodia until such issues and conflicts calm down.

Toto Cam she’s not talking about the country, she’s talking about the possibility to be kinda difficult to get the visa because of the conflict

Thai people truly hate Cambodia and they invaded Cambodia territory and if anyone happened to be in Cambodia before traveling to Thailand, Thai immigrant polices would find the way to scare them, trust me

It is safe and there are many Thai people working in Cambodia and they live normally
Everything is normal in the capital city of Cambodia, Phnom Penh.
