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.

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

Give it a couple of months and they'll be a few 20 something drug overdoses to restore the natural order.

In some places they mop the floor with soapy water and dont rinse it off. It can dry out, but as soon as you step onto it with wet feet it is very slippery.

But what when one's wife slips in the shower and catches her cheek on the tap on the way down; resulting in an award winning black eye.....?
Luckily I happened to be several thousand kilometers away at the time.....
