11yo girl drowns at family outing: Tatai falls, Koh Kong

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.

A Sihanoukville family outing to Koh Kong turned to tragedy, when an 11 year old girl, Chhay Sor Ghech, the only daughter of two factory workers from Sihanoukville, Chhay Chanthy, 38, and Chuong Trum, 36, was swept away at the Tatai waterfall near Koh Kong.
RIP

That water looks a bit choppy.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Very sad and so young RIP. Never seen the water when it is that strong.

Is there a power station dam further upstream ?
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Yes several. Also a lot of afternoon thunderstorms in the catchment. The dams are full. We had 60 mm in two hours day before yesterday...
