American Tourist ROSS WESTCOTT CHAGNON Dies of Dysentery in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

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.

It’s odd that he says 168 of 192. There are 193 countries in the UN. Also, many people include the sovereign non-UN members of Kosovo, Vatican City, and Taiwan. The generally accepted count is 193 or 196.

and then lose their passport.

It's not going to be so satisfying in the future to those that like to show off all those stamps in their passport ,as the world heads towards putting all those '' stamps '' into the bio-metric chip in the passports.
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.

typhoid and dysentery have been and endemic since the 1990s.

they are trying to keep a sqeaky clean image of KoW whilst we all know most of the disease is in that country, included NO 1 rabies death on earth and also no one unofficial suicide rate .

as thailand has the most dangerous roads.
