A bachelor burnt down his house and hacked his mother

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.

Perhaps the 65 year old mother was scared he would neglect her in her old age after he got himself a wife.

lol, that is one of my favorite jingles!

Hey MM surprise you know that.

For those who don't understand.

meean tduk meean trei meean loy meean srey: There is water there is fish, have money have girl or honey.
I lived a few km outside of kampot and heard that from my neighbors a lot. It is really catchy, so easy to remember.
Hey i thought you were living in pp when you were here. Right this phrase is really famous, you can hear it almost everywhere.
Yes, mostly, but I visited kampot a lot and eventually wanted a slower pace, so my last few months were spent just outside kampot town.

Good catch. Maybe it should have been hand? There's some bandage going on there.

Maybe first he tried to hack her on the head, but he ended up cutting her hand instead and possibly the local news reported it wrong or it was typo and most of local news are suck. Lol

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.
