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.

Many houses in PP are floating on a layer of dirt several metres thick. Under that is just a slurry of mud and water. I remember a few years ago watching them drive long concrete piles for a building at Wat Phnom ,[ the radio station building ]. Once the piles were a couple of metres into the ground , they just disappeared into the slurry , under their own weight.

If that were ever to occur I will head to the beach & steal a boat. That is if I can get out from under all the bricks on my head.

That's not how it works,,,, throw a stone into a pond of water and you will see how the waves will rock the countryside up and down like a rollercoaster ride.
