Cambodia news update, 1 December 2021 - Omicron bans! Update: land borders & visa on arrival! KTV!

This week we continue the ride along the river on our way to the Silk Island Ferry. New includes a herd of elephants, an update on land borders and visas on arrival, Cambodia's response to the Omicron variant, and some stories about Laos, our neighbour in the region. Cold weather sees Hun Sen deliver jackets and blankets to cyclo riders.

We don't accept donations or gifts to our channel, however, we do generate income from YouTube.

The amount we receive each month is based on the number of views/subscribers we have. This is referred to as being monetised. We became monetised in February 2021 and received our first payment in April 2021.

Since becoming monetised, we have donated 100% of our YouTube earnings to charities/NGOs operating in Cambodia. This is why we always ask you to like, subscribe, and comment. It costs you nothing, but it helps us earn more money from YouTube that we can pass on to help people in Cambodia.

If you would like to support Cambodia by making a financial donation, it's best if you support a charity directly. Charities here have tax-deductible status in different countries, so there's bound to be one that suits. Google is your friend.

We generally upload twice a week - News Moto on Wednesdays, and non-news content on the weekend.

We make our videos to show you what life is like here in Cambodia, and it’s nice that you are interested! If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment!

Thanks again,
Jeremy & Claire
