Cambodian officials are exploring a new initiative for Thai border residents to boost tourism. Hor Sarun, Cambodia’s tourism minister, said Thai tourists visiting Angkor Wat will boost the country’s tourism.

The increase in visitors is 560% more than the first half of 2022, but it’s only 22.5% of pre-epidemic passengers.

Thai people with a legal address in one of seven adjacent provinces need a border permit, not a passport, to enter Siem Reap. Over 740,000 tourists visited Cambodia between January and July, according to the Ministry of Tourism. Southeast Asia reopens and seeks tourists. The…

A consultant to the steel bar makers’ organization said the steel used to construct the bars had witnessed a 42% price jump from last year. The manufacturers also face growing costs of electricity, shipping, and labor. He said factories couldn’t survive without boosting prices, but they needed consent from the Internal Trade Department, which controls steel bar and product prices. Prawit also recommended using higher-grade steel bars to save money. Although higher-grade bars are more expensive, building firms will save money using fewer. Rising energy prices have affected steel pricing worldwide, he said. Turkish manufacturers have declared $20-$40 per ton pricing rises. As production costs rise, steel bar manufacturers plan to ask the Thai government to boost prices. Prawit said bar-making steel costs $658 (24,300 baht) per ton, up from $464 last year. Singapore charges $738 per ton for steel bars, Turkey $740, China $852, and Thailand $699. Prawit said…
