Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Foreigner injured in Sihanoukville motorbike accident

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Yesterday evening, 9 March 2017, around 5pm, there was a collusion between two motorbikes driven by a foreigner and a local man. The foreign man received a nasty gash to the head. It looks like he was wearing a helmet which came off in the accident. The Khmer man was also injured.
The report says the collision was due to "poor driving" on both sides.

The accident took place at Phsar Khleang Kraom road, Sangkat 1, Sihanoukville.

Having seen only last week how some of these hipster/wanna-be hippies/soap dodgers ride, I am surprised there are not a lot more accidents.

Looks like we need some new "wear a helmet" health promotion posters. :D

If it was one of those little candlesnuffer ones then it'll be in bits on the highway. That bit of road has a 40km limit and a bustling market, they speed trap there.

How long has Gandhi been in SHV?

Riding with only one shoe and that floppy, over the shoulder bag, looks French.
