#1 Phenom Penh is "affordable" to visitors. Unfortunately affordability has done little for Cambodia's tourism industry.

#2 I'm not a fan of tax increases of course, but this is quite nonsense. Food for example has 0% Vat in the UK, and if you cannot afford a 2% price hike (yes it comes to 2%, not 2,5%) you better stay home.

Btw visitors from overseas get a VAT refund on their purchases.

I'd rather watch where the pound is going

#3 Not for UN workers Besoeker.

Theyz gonna need an ad campaign, perhaps a footie pissing in a tea cup could convey both dignity and the down to earth sensibilities of the UK leadership.
