That’s great news to hear about common sense winning 🏆 about accepting dollar bills 💸!!
Edit: the other news is also good : )

[mimibigdy]

Great news on Funan, glad for diverse investments in Siha, …

[wowable]

Looking forward to Sihanoukville video. Thanks for the moto news… you guys are great as usual…

[buellrichardson]

I love that the Cambodian government is working to attract tourists to the beautiful kingdom. Making it easier for people to spend money in Cambodia is a great aid to developing the economy

[mhouse]

Less borrowing from foreign entities is great for the Kingdom…

This is an unrelated question. Which apt or airbnb rental has a clothes drying machine? Why they only have a washer and not both?

[heartoflight]

Lots of good news!
Can't wait for the full report about Sihanoukville!

Did I here you correctly about the VIsa on line? I have been buying my Vises' on line now for over 10 years, the only thing to be carefull of is make sure you get it from the offical govermrnnt site and not an outside source.

As always, great moto-news updates by For Riel$. Cambodia has come a long way since the prolonged civil war was officially ended in 1998.
The whole country was in ruins and the families were torn apart.
Sharing is coming. Peace ✌️

Makes you wonder how the electric payments will work because it used to be cheaper to pay in dollars than say Thai baht.

Great job 👏 and keep up with the good work 😊

I was in Sihanoukville last week. The Gulf of Thailand was nice. I found the Toll road to and from Southern Cambodia found the Countryside just beautiful looking at the mountains in the background. Very scenic. Yes, we saw many new construction buildings abandoned Eye Sore

Lots of great information as always. I always love trying to figure out where these trips are and I rcognized this one from one of my long walks. I love seeing past the part where I walked and to see you zig zagging around all of the monsterous puddles. Looks like you have had some rain whie I have been away. I can't wait to get back next week.

[Charlie-phlezk]

I always think it's "techno" 😂

[vgshwk]

I haven’t liked Sihanoukville since the Chinese moved in and over built. Hard to see where they can go forward because they can’t go back.

Lots of good news. Thank you Claire and Jeremy. Looking forward to returning. 🙏🏼 ☸️ 🌴 🌴 🌴 😃
