John Saboe's Far East Travels

Walk with me around some of the nightmarkets and hot night spots of Siem Reap as I assess the serious drop in tourism as a result of the coronavirus outbreak. Unfortunately this is severely impacting tourism in the town that's the gateway to Angkor Wat, much due to the decrease in Chinese traveling. There has only been one official report of a man that tested positive for the virus who was visiting Sihanoukville from Wuhan. He has since been hospitalized and is in stable condition. The 3 family members that were traveling with him have shown no signs of the virus and it appears noone contracted it that came in contact with him. At this time there are no travel advisories recommending their citizens not travel to anywhere in Southeast Asia due to the coronavirus. So far most Western countries have recommended their citizens avoid travel to China. Honestly in my opinion as long as the virus continues to be contained there should be no issues with regular travel to Southeast Asia, in fact it could be a good time
