These work permits will be easier to get than my morning cup of coffee.

You could be right and time will tell but it feels like this is a real change visa wise here in Cambodia and they are trying to crack down on the amount of degen/bums here, a walk down 172/Riverside really is a sorry sight and you are almost approached by more broke foreigners with the usual stolen passport etc stories than begging locals.
RE: Work Permits - AFAIK from what I have read they are are a real pain to get now even WITH a job and a timely & costly process even with the correct documentation so what makes you think they'll be so easy to get given things are getting even stricter with no job at all for grinders/nomads? Money will always talk here but it just feels different this time, travel agents are refusing to hand out six month/year visas now which is simply something that's just unheard of here before.
Time till tell but I am glad I am jumping ship tbh, PP is truly a sh*hole and the last appealing thing about it was the fact you could get a years visa and come and go freely with no worries about being refused entry/being deported and a work permit didn't even have to cross your mind. If you take that away it's no different to say Thailand visa wise and places like BKK are 100x better places to live, imo.
I think the GTO approach now is probably six months Thailand, six months in Vietnam/Phils, mixing it up like people like jspill have covered in the Thailand thread.
