Cambodia forecasts 4 million tourists in 2013

Cambodia is predicted to greet 4 million foreign visitors this year, an expected 12 percent rise year-on-year, Tourism Minister Thong Khon said. “Last year, we received 3.58 million foreign tourists, up 24 percent year-on-year, and generated total revenue of about 2.2 billion U.S. dollars,” he told reporters on the sidelines of a tourism conference. “This year, we believe that the country will attract up to 4 million foreign visitors.” He said about 75 percent of the tourists were from Asia-Pacific region and about 16 percent from European countries. “Besides, ASEAN member states see countries in Asia-Pacific region as our major tourism destinations, especially China, Japan, South Korea and India,” he said.

The minister said that flight connections are very important to attract foreign tourists to Cambodia, saying that the country has already connected direct flights to seven countries out of the ten- member ASEAN, except Brunei and Indonesia. “This year, I hope that there will be direct flights from Japan to Cambodia and flight increases from China to Cambodia,” he said. Ang Kim Eang, president of Cambodia Association of Travel Agents, said the tourism growth from year to year was thanks to attractive tourism destinations, broad promotions, flight connections between Cambodia and foreign countries and visa exemptions among ASEAN member states. “If everything continues going well, I believe that the country’s tourism sector will see stronger growth this year,” he said Monday.

Cambodia is the destination for ecological and cultural tourism. This Southeast Asia nation is well-known for its 12th century Angkor Wat Temple, a world heritage site, which is situated about 315 kilometers northwest of Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia.

Also, it has a pristine coastline stretching in the length of 450 kilometers in four provinces of Koh Kong, Preah Sihanouk, Kampot and Kep. The coastline was officially recognized as one of the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Most Beautiful Bays in May, 2011. Originally from Xinhua

DO NOT USE THE WORD TUK-TUK EVER AGAIN!

Remork

The Cambodian Ministry of Tourism has banned the use of the word “tuk-tuk,” and now everyone has to use the word “Reumork.” They even ban tourist from using the word. So, what will happen if we are caught using this word instead of the correct one? I really want to thank the government for recognizing these important issues and handling them appropriately. This has surely caused mass confusion in this country and I’ve always wondered when they would get this sorted since I first arrived. I hope that people can learn this new word quickly so then the government

Tuk Tuk can start focusing on other issues that are almost as important, like land grabbing, etc.... By: tourismcambodia.org

Why move to Cambodia? There are many reasons to move to Cambodia here are but a few.

Expatriates from all walks of life land in Cambodia for wildly different reasons. Some are after development jobs that will move their careers forward. Others are looking for a relaxed retirement. Still others are seeking a place where expenses are so low that they can afford to pursue creative

endeavors without having to endure the hassle of working a traditional 9-to-5 job. But despite their different backgrounds, foreigners can generally agree on a few reasons to settle here:

April-June, 2013

Getting a visa is easy For less than a dollar a day, almost anyone can get a visa to stay in the country. Cambodia has one of the most relaxed visa programs in the world…for now.

The cost of living is low Cambodia is cheap. Not as cheap as a lot of backpackers hope, but it’s still very inexpensive to live here. Most expats can survive by working part-time, a luxury they would not have back home.

Cambodia is filled with great opportunities Whether you’re looking to get work experience in the development sector, teaching experience in the classroom, or material for your novel, Cambodia offers an abundance of opportunities for those willing to pursue them. Foreign experience is highly valued here, and most expats are able to find a job easily. In fact, many are able to find jobs that they wouldn’t be regarded as qualified to do at home.

The weather Okay, maybe most expats can’t agree on this one, but anyone who has lived through a harsh, snowy winter can appreciate Cambodia’s yearround warm temperatures…although most do agree that hot season can be unpleasant.

April-June, 2013

The locals are friendly

Life is easy

Serial expats know that in many countries settling in can be difficult due to difficult locals. Cambodians can be difficult, of course, but they’re always friendly. If Thailand is known as the “land of smiles,” Cambodia could be called the land of genuine smiles.

It’s a mystery as to why, but expats in Cambodia just seem to have easier lives than they do in their home countries.

Even small interactions like bargaining with a tuk tuk driver usually involve smiles and laughter. Male expats also find that their charms are magnified in Cambodia and that they are far more impressive to Khmer women than to the girls back home.

Maybe it’s because they’re finally able to afford to have someone else clean their apartments, or just that they’re working fewer hours, but foreigners who’ve settled in Cambodia fall in love with the country. They may whine and complain, but don’t believe them. If they’re here, they’re having a good time. By: www.movetocambodia.com

What is Northern Khmer? Is Khmer in Thailand Surin, Buriram or Sisaket Northern Khmer is, for the most part, a spoken language as most speakers are unable to read or write their native tongue due to Thai fiction policies either enacted or supported by the Thai government. However, recent renewed interest and enthusiasm in Khmer language and culture has resulted in a two-fold increase in the use of Northern Khmer since 1958 and the consequential need for a formalized method of writing the language. Since the Thai language is the medium of public education and, until the 21st century, the media, Khmer is taught at home or by monks in the local Khmer temples, often supported by Khmers in Cambodia or Western nations. In Thailand, Northern Khmer is written in the Thai script. As many sounds occur in Northern 22

Khmer that would be impossible to write according to the rules of Thai orthography, a few innovations are necessary such as using ฮ (initial /h/ in Thai) at the end of words to represent syllable-final /h/ and ญ (initial /j/, final /n/ in Thai) to represent Northern Khmer’s palatal nasal /ɲ/. Special diacritics are also sometimes used with the vowels because Northern Khmer has more vowel positions than Thai. Within Cambodia, Northern Khmer is written in the Khmer script as the words are spelled in standard Khmer, regardless of the Northern Khmer pronunciation. This is seen most often in the context of kantrum music karaoke DVDs which are increasingly popular in Cambodia and with Cambodians overseas.

April-June, 2013

The History about Northern Khmer After the fall of the Khmer Empire in the early 15th century the Dong-rek Mountains served as a natural border, leaving the Khmer north of the mountains increasingly under the sphere of influence of Lan Xang. The conquests of Cambodia by Naresuan the Great for Ayutthaya furthered the political and economic isolation from Cambodia proper, leading to a dialect that developed relatively independently from the midpoint of the Middle Khmer period. Subsequently, the Isan area was claimed by the Lao Kingdom of Champasak in 1718 and in 1893, the region became part of the Kingdom

of Siam (Thailand) as a result of the FrancoSiamese War. Throughout this period, the Northern Khmer people shared the rural mountainous highlands with the Lao, Thai and various MonKhmer groups such as the Kuy, leading to a high degree of multilingualism. These varied influences and unique history have resulted in a distinct accent, with characteristics of the surrounding tonal languages, lexical differences through borrowing from Lao, Kuy and Thai, and phonemic differences in both vowels and distribution of consonant

Overview Surin With the total area about 8124 km2, Surin province is located in the north east of Thailand between the Mun River in the north and Dongrek Mountain Chain in the South. Originally, it was named as Khu Prathai Village by the governor of the city, Luang Surin Phakdi, and used to be the old city of the ancient Cambodian back around 200 years ago. The city has 13 districts and 4 sub-districts with 450 kilometers away from Bangkok city by cars and 420 kilometers by train. Surin province is well known for a beautiful scenario for a traveling purpose and a great place for souvenir shopping. It has earned a reputation for its fine silk and notable silver beads & ornaments such as necklaces, belts, rings, watches and bracelets etc. in Khwao Sinaring Handicraft Village. By visiting Mueang district, tourists can buy many homemade food such as shredded pork (Mu Yong), Chinese sausage (Koon Chiang), and sweet radish in honey etc. Internationally, Surin has many well-known festivals, for instance, the Annual Grand Elephant Round Up, Eel Festival, and

Buffalo Blessing Festival etc.The motto of the city is: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Surin the land of elephants, splendid silk, beautiful silver beads, stone castles, sweet cabbage, aromatic rice, beautiful culture.â&#x20AC;?

Overview Buriram Almost a thousand years ago the present - day Buri Ram area was evidently subdued to Khmer Empire as many ruins from that time are still visible there. The biggest of them on an extinct volcano is protected in the Phanom Rung historical park. According to the inscription found, her ruler recognized the hegemony of Khmer Empire’s king. Before the foundation of Bangkok, little was known about her.

From early Bangkok Period, in the early nineteenth century, the town originally called Muang Pae, was renamed ‘Buriram’. Then she became under Thai rule. After the administrative reform in the late nineteenth century, Buriram was incorporated into Siam or late Thailand as a province.

April-June, 2013

Overview Sisaket The many Khmer ruins found in the province show it must have been important to the Khmer empire at least by the 12th century, although probably sparsely populated. According to local tradition, it was known Sri Nakorn Lamduan (ศรีนครลำ�ดวน.) It was later called Khukhan, after a town built in the late 15th century A.D. during the reign of the King Boromaratcha III of Ayutthaya. Ethnic Laos settled the northern portion of the province, and in 1786 the town Sisaket was formed, subject to Khukhan. In 1904, Sisaket was renamed Khukhan, while the original town was designated Huai Nua. Monthon Udon Thani was created in 1912, assuming the administration of the most of area. In 1933 the monthon system was ended, and the province of Khukhan was directly administrated from Bangkok.

The name of the town and province was restored to Sisaket in 1938, with the district containing Huai Nua being called Khukhan. (Thai: ศรี transcribed Sri in Sri Nakorn Lamduan and Si in Sisaket is the Thai honorific Si/Sri.) The Rasi Salai Dam built here in 1994 was unofficially decommissioned in July 2000 following devastation of local farming villages. Sisaket is one of the provinces where there is a sizable Northern Khmer population. In the 2000 Census it was reported that 26.2% of the population are capable of speaking Khmer. This is down from the 1990 Census when it was reported that 30.2% of the population were capable of speaking Khmer.[1] The majority are Lao language speaking people.

Cambodia’s Booming New Industry: Orphanage Tourism

It’s the end of your three week vacation in Southeast Asia. You did good. You managed to hit all the locations on the backpacker’s circuit; lounging on the tropical Islands off the Thai Peninsula, experiencing the street food of Bangkok, exploring the temples of Siem Reap, and shopping on the floating markets of the Mekong River. Now, with just a few days left before your flight home, you’d like to do something selfless, something worthwhile. You decide to volunteer in one of Cambodia’s orphanages. The problem is finding one that isn’t a scam.

Since 2005, Cambodia has seen a 75 percent increase in its number of orphanages. It’s no coincidence that the growth matches the explosion of tourism in the country; foreign arrivals have increased 250% in the same period. The orphanages run on foreign volunteers and dollars. Yet of the two million tourists who will pass through Cambodia this year, many aren’t aware that 71% percent of children in its orphanages still have living parents. They aren’t orphans in fact, but have been recruited by the centers with promises to parents for

April-June, 2013

better education and care. “So what we have is this huge discrepancy between supply and demand,” explains Sean Looney, director of SISHA – an organization that investigates human trafficking and living conditions in residential care centers. “Such a proliferation of orphanages in Cambodia makes you wonder, what’s the missing variable here? It’s Money.” The money trail has sprung an entire industry around child care centers. While Cambodia still has many legitimate NGO’s and orphanages working in the best interests of children, just trying to find one in tourist areas such as Phnom Penh and Siem Reap can be a challenge. Our own search for a reputable institution in Phnom Penh was a comedy of errors. “You want orphanage? Yes sir! Come with me.” The Tuk tuk drivers outside our guesthouse were the first to spring for our business. They were eager. Most of them receive commissions from orphanages that bring tourists to the centers, and some get them by stopping at specific markets on the way so that you can buy school supplies for the kids. The most entrepreneurial organize daily orphanage tours. A tuk tuk driver named Manny told us he could take us to five centers in a single afternoon for $20 – lunch included! These are not the places you want to volunteer with; we heard that most orphanages commissioning tuk tuk drivers are scams. We made a note of their recommendations and scratched them off our list.

With little else to go off, we decided to check out the orphanages that came up on our Google GOOG -1.13% Maps search of Phnom Penh. The first, called Light House Orphanage, invited us through the front gate with no appointment, no questions asked, and no hesitation to let us tour the kids’ bedrooms. Then, before asking us what kind of skills we could provide, they pulled out a price list and discussed how much money we would pay to volunteer there. $15 dollars a day, each. Preferably cash. These fees are common, and generate healthy margins for the orphanages since all they provide to volunteers is electricity and a couple of meals, mostly rice. They also exclude the donations that often come at the end of a volunteer’s stay – running anywhere from one hundred to a thousand dollars. The second place we visited, called the “Children’s Center to Happiness,” wasn’t much better. They didn’t have any adult supervisors when we were there. Instead, the children flocked around us and started hugging our arms. We asked the kids when the staff might return, and they said that evening. When we came back hours later, there was still no one to look after them. Finally though, we did find a legitimate place. On our third try we discovered SCAO, which despite its unfortunate name “Save the Poor Children in Asia Organization,” turned out

So we turned to the internet, coming up with a few names but little information on them. There is no easy to find directory of orphanages because many aren’t registered. The reason is corruption. One center’s director told us he paid over $1000 to government officials and police officers to register his orphanage, and hundreds more to keep an inspector’s mouth shut.

April-June, 2013

to have a well-intentioned staff and a solid team of a dozen volunteers from around the world. They were upfront in acknowledging they are not an orphanage, but care for 17 kids who have been sent there by their parents for better education and opportunities. We ended up volunteering there a week.

Even after finding a proper orphanage, it’s important remember to that children are not tourist attractions.

In our search, we learned that even among the scams and corruption and ancillary businesses created by Cambodia’s orphanage boom, a volunteer can find a worthy organization if they practice due diligence.

To learn how you can best help in Cambodia’s orphanages, please refer to ChildSafe’s recommendations for volunteers.

The two important things to consider are: how trustworthy is the organization I’m volunteering for, and how will I impact the lives of the children once I’m there?

Renting a House in Cambodia If you plan on staying in Cambodia for more than a few months, you will probably want to rent a place (House/ Apartment). This is particularly true for foreigners, As in any country, it is imperative that the parties put down their agreement in a properly signed, valid contract.

With the advice in this guide, patience, and common sense, you should be comfortably settled into your new home.

Without one, you could end up paying more in rent than agreed, find someone else sharing your living room, or even out on the street.

April-June, 2013

Doing Your Homework

If something doesn’t strike you as right, investigate further. You want to find a reputable and trustworthy landlord.

Whether you use an agent, online classifieds, or call a number off a For Rent sign, once you’ve found the place that’s right for you, you’ll want to do some background investigation to see if you would be wise to sign the lease.

Second, you need to confirm that the person who presents themselves as the landlord, actually is the landlord.

First and foremost, know who you are renting from. While it is best to avoid difficult landlords wherever you are, this is particularly true in a country with weak rule of law and an inefficient court system.

Extended families in Cambodia often live and manage properties communally, but the legal landlord is the person with their name on the title document. Ask to see the title, or if none is available, their land purchase contract.

At a minimum, you should meet the landlord in person to discuss the property and the terms of the lease. Ask where they work, how long they’ve owned the property, who the prior tenants were and why they moved out.

Finally, scope out the neighborhood for any potential nuisances. Crowing roosters, roaming dog packs, and empty lots that turn into a construction site from one day to the next, can make for an impossibly noisy environment.

April-June, 2013

Sealing the Deal If you are renting through a real estate agent, they will most likely provide a form contract. Take this as an opening proposal; all the significant terms should be open to negotiation. Be aware that contract negotiations in Cambodia can be very different from what you might expect in your home country. What the landlord told you orally when you first visited might have changed when it’s time to sign the agreement. A healthy dose of patience will see you through. The contract should be in English and Khmer, and include a clause making both equally binding. Cambodian law imposes few restrictions on the terms of the contract, and there is no rent control to control future rent increas-

es. The rental term can be for a fixed-period, month-to-month, or even year-to-year. If you think you might want to extend beyond the lease’s expiration, you might include a clause giving you the right to renew at a certain price. You’ll undoubtedly be asked for advanced payment of rent, or a security deposit. Be sure this amount is clearly stated in the lease agreement, and that it must be returned to you in full, plus interest, upon completion of the lease. For any cash payments – deposit, rent, or utilities – demand a signed receipt, it could be your only record in case of a dispute. Finally, be sure to get a signed copy of the lease for your own records; the landlord and real estate agent should have their own.

Dealing with Disputes If you are renting through a real estate agent, they will most likely provide a form contract. Take this as an opening proposal; all the significant terms should be open to negotiation. Be aware that contract negotiations in Cambodia can be very different from what you might expect in your home country. What the landlord told you orally when you first visited might have changed when it’s time to sign the agreement. A healthy dose of patience will see you through.

Cambodian law imposes few restrictions on the terms of the contract, and there is no rent control to control future rent increas-

April-June, 2013

Moving Out Avoiding problems when moving out requires a bit of foresight, particularly when first drafting your lease agreement. If the contract doesn’t contain a termination clause, getting out of the lease can be difficult and costly. You’ll want to include a clause specifying when you can move out prior to the end of the lease, and when your landlord can evict you. Be sure to include a penalty clause for early eviction – it will be hard to stop a landlord determined to remove you, but at least you will be compensated. Also, a sublease and assignment clause is a good idea, particularly if there’s a chance your job will reassign you to a new location. If you put down a security deposit, you have a right to get the amount in full, plus interest,

before moving out. Your landlord can deduct the reasonable cost of repairs for anything beyond normal use. To avoid paying for damage you didn’t cause, be sure to do a full inspection, with your landlord present, before moving in. For the unprepared, renting a home in Cambodia can be stressful and unpleasant. This guide has hopefully provided you with a few key practical points to help you manage this process. For draft lease agreements, negotiation counseling, or legal representation in dealing with your landlord, experienced professionals at BNG Legal are ready to help.
