American Expat ROBERT JON KANE Seriously Injured After Slipping in Kampong Speu Toilet

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.

I have Khmer friends who often tell me that the one thing that shames them about their country/culture, is the lack of humanity.

I often laugh in their face really hard and tell them to take a look at CEO.

A serious injury is a serious injury, whether you're obese, slim, whether it was your fault or not. It's a horrific ordeal to find yourself at the mercy of Khmer hospital staff when all you expected at the end of that day was to be watching Netflix with your loved one, as was usual.

I hope he pulls through.

Clearly a texan and I really wonder were he got his pants from. Didn't see that size in the local markets.
Speedy recovery for him so that he can get back to eating and netflix. His wife must be a terrific cook.

That's not pants, it's a homemade canvas tent.
Probably by the same guy who fixed knob's wedding pants.

Announcement pants was a single long piece of cloth wrapped around to look like shorts. All held by pins. Super uncomfortable.

Was told to bring pants from home. Not have your size here.

Brought back 3 black dress pants. Tailor fitted last night. Westerners of my girth run into into 200 cm tall range. Obviously the pant legs are too long.

Wet tiles are dangerous what ever your age or size...and usually the textured ones in toilets here are not anti-slip when wet.... I know many who had taken a fall because of this and this alone

Exactly, that's why I buy cheap non slip mats from Central Market and place them on the bathroom floor.
