In this expanded second edition of Kamphucha: How a Visa Run from Thailand Brought Me to Cambodia, I, Haneda Kento, revisit a journey that began with a simple choice during my fifth stay in Thailand in 2023: where to go for a visa run. Like many travellers faced with the same decision, I weighed my options between Thailand's neighbouring countriesMyanmar, Laos, Malaysia, and Cambodia. Having yet to visit Cambodia or Laos, I chose Cambodia, a destination that would profoundly reshape my understanding of Southeast Asia.
What I found therea blend of history, struggle, and resiliencewas a country that felt worlds apart from Thailand, its more frequently visited neighbour. Cambodia's visa policies and perceptions around safety keep many travellers at a distance, yet these same elements also reveal a nation with a depth rarely explored. In this journey, I use the term "Kamphucha", the Thai word for Cambodia, as it more closely reflects the Khmer language.
In this second edition, I have woven in new perspectives inspired by recent conversations with locals and guides who've seen Cambodia's rapid transformations firsthand. Our discussions brought fresh insights into how ASEAN integration and increased foreign investments are impacting daily life in CambodiaSiem Reap especially, where Chinese-backed infrastructure projects and ASEAN visa arrangements are reshaping local tourism. Through these additional reflections, I hope to offer readers a fuller picture of Cambodia as it navigates change.
The journey continues in my next book, The Magic Tree: Phnom Penh, Genocide and China, where I explore Phnom Penh's markets, its complex history with the Khmer Rouge, and the enduring spirit of its people.
For readers returning to Kamphucha, I hope this expanded edition brings you new reasons to dive deeper into Cambodiaa place with a story as rich as it is resilient.
