The Phnom Penh Post reported on 1 January 2024 that the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications had opened public Wi-Fi at Ochheuteal and Otres beaches in Preah Sihanouk province, offering free internet to local and foreign guests in order to support tourism. The ministry announcement said travellers can join the service by scanning a QR code on the ministry's social media page or at the two sites themselves, starting from 30 December. Ho Vandy, an adviser to the Cambodia Association of Travel Agents, called the networks a gift that lets visitors find local information and communicate without an extra payment, and he asked for more coverage at other tourism sites, especially remote ones. Independent analyst Chey Tech said the service makes it easier to share pictures of tourism sites, while warning that public Wi-Fi in some places does not work or is very slow. He urged free networks in other parts of Preah Sihanouk, in Siem Reap, in Phnom Penh, and at other sites with tourism potential. The same report says that in April 2023, during the Angkor Sangkran Khmer New Year festival, the ministry and the Union of Youth Federations of Cambodia launched free wireless internet at 16 locations in Siem Reap town, and that those spots were still active.
