Bokor town plans unveiled

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.

Rumour I heard is that the garish casino has been leased to a Chinese company - which makes sense as there are about 5000 Chinese living in the apartments adjacent.

But this sneaky hotel / casino is nearing completion round by the secret lake

The row of shophouses, behind the casino, on the road up to the Wat have been completed. The older ones ( closest in the photos ) are restaurants and shops but twice I have been waved away

A few years ago they had laid the foundations but that was that - now it is full steam ahead but I dunno what. Between the casino and the old church

That’s not a row, that’s a garrison or barracks.

And the powers that be want to sell this as an eco resort?
