American Charles F Harris Jumps from Sokha Hotel 20th Floor

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.

The biggest mystery so far is how a man managed to jump from the 20th floor off a building that only has 10 floors. :stir:

Cambodia Daily:

Following the trial period, the 10-story hotel will officially open its 400-plus rooms as well as its more than 190 condominiums between November and December, Mr. Kong said.

Construction of the hotel started in May 2007. It sits on 14 hectares of land across the Tonle Sap river from the Royal Palace that was leased to the Sokimex Group for 99 years in February 2007 at a cost of about $5.6 million.

That said, I clearly count more than 10 floors, and it looks like the floors I'm counting have 13 floors, plus space above and below them:

Meh, ok, looks like it probably does have about 20 floors or so.
