3 Barangs in Wifebeaters Get Motorcycle Confiscated in Phnom Penh for No Helmets & Wrong Way

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.

There is a very clearly displayed no left turn sign on Sihanouk at that point. if you are on sihanouk coming west from diamond island you have to go up to the independence monument, round the roundabout and back. Often in phnom penh these signs are hidden behind trees, but this one slaps you in the face

Can you mark that no left turn sign for me? I can't see it.

Ok. I got you. I come the other way down shnk towards naga and turn left onto Sotherous. Not sure if you're allowed to go straight on along Sotherous though. I turn back onto shnk to go to Botumvatey. I originally followed a Khmer, but it didn't reassure me. Looks like its one way north, or at least no left turn coming the other way. Bit confusing anyway. Maybe I should paint some small arrows in the road, and point at them if they stop me.

You can go straight through on Sothearos either way and you can turn left off of Sianhouk but you cannot turn left off of Sumarit
