Fire at Otres Beach 2, Sihanoukville.

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.

Info from Facebook:The fire has been contained and is now over. At least five businesses have been destroyed. Bananas was saved.
Somebody said the fire was believed to have been started by a generator, and spread quickly because there was a lot of wind on the beach this afternoon. This is totally unconfirmed for the moment.

The good side to a bad event:
So far, no reports of anyone injured !!!
The neighbouring businesses on Otres 2 that were not affected by the fire have been rallying around to help out. Well done.

There is.


I'd bet none of the affected businesses have any though.

Insurance companies don't go out of their way to insure fire traps.

selling beer at 50cts a glass does not facilitate insurance
