There were extraordinary scenes last night as over 60 foreign casino workers swam across the river that marks the border between Cambodia and Vietnam in order, it is believed, to flee an immigration crackdown.
Images and social media videos show around 60 Vietnamese workers breaking through the fence of the Golden Phoenix Entertainment Casino in Chrey Thom commune, Koh Thom district, Kandal province on the evening of the 18th. August 2022, fighting with security guards and then swimming across the river into Vietnam.
It appears that the incident was prompted by the upcoming visit of Mr. Nop Dara, Deputy Governor of Kandal Province, as well as a large force of the General Department of Immigration at 8 pm
(Video took a couple of plays before running through)

They look more like they are escaping from one of those dodgy human trafficking centers. Why were the guards trying to bash them? I'm also pretty surprised at their swimming skills, I doubt you'd get a group of 60 Cambodians who could swim.

Not exactly the fastest bolt for freedom you'll see. And at the end of the video it looked like one of the escapees was going take the close inspection of a boat hull.
