Well, it's official, Cambodia has reopened its borders to the world. I am only now an easy e-visa away from being back together in Cambodian with my family again.
We've been waiting years to return to Cambodia as a family, and the decision by the Cambodian government to reopen the country, albeit with many stipulations, is one well-received by my family and I. Suriname has never been a right fit for us, and we only ever came to the west to get married and meet American family members.
The get married part happened, but my USA family still hasn't met my Cambodian family, and that's no longer as important as it once was to me. Now that we can envision a return to Cambodia, we are busy creating a plan for action once on the ground there. There will be a 7-day quarantine, a $1,000 USD cash deposit on my behalf for the quarantine hotel stay, and I also need travel insurance.
If we return together we will be separated upon arrival, and that irony is not lost on me. Even though I'll have my own hotel room with 2 beds during the 7-day quarantine period, the family would have to pay $1,000 USD deposit each to join me per policy. They are however, entitled to a free government quarantine that is basically the same quality of room that I will have.
It appears most people are getting around $400 of their deposit back after quarantine, so that would mean an extra loss of $1,800 USD just for us to be together for 7 days. That's almost half the cost of the piece of land we want to buy, so it's out of the question unless a discount can be made, and/or I can sweettalk the authorities into letting me quarantine with the family at the government facility.
