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.

What did they use before Tiger Balm?
It wouldn't surprise me if they used similar recipes and ideas to what traditional healers still use nowadays. There was probably a certain amount of cross-over from Chinese medicine too as there was a lot of trade between the empires and a fair amount of Chinese settled in the area even back then. I must look it up.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Ear Darith, the deputy director of Angkor-International Centre for Research and Documentation, said the artefacts were used in Angkor era hospitals and everyday life.
It is interesting that these artefacts were found at the east gate (Victory Gate), which is a special gate of the temple,” he said.

Mr Darith said the vases were made between the 11th to 15th centuries and were used by people with high status.The celadon, or green-glazed, dishes were imported from China, produced in Zhejiang province between the 13th and 15th centuries.
All the artefacts have been stored at the Angkor International Centre for Research and Documentation for further research...

So in say 500 to 700 or so, archaeologists will dig up a fossilized Chinese cell phone...

Evidence of an ancient illicit Chinese Call Center...
