Bolivian Woman in 4 Kilo Cocaine Bust at Phnom Penh Airport

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.

Possibly but cocaine is popular among young well-heeled Cambodians and Thais.
Where does that assumption come from ?
Serious … Does it take one to know one ?
Genuinely curious what makes you so intelligent ..

I get checked EVERY time going to Jakarta. Not the full program each time, but I am never allowed to use he green exit and have at least to x-ray my bag. I seem to be a hot candidate, although I always tell the immigration guy my trip being for business purposes and not having a suitcase with me.
Driving on Cambodian roads is just like playing a classic arcade top scroller. The only difference is a force feedback controller, the limitation to only one life and the inability to restart, once Game Over

price is Much higher in oz and japan than Cambodia or thailand
so makes no sense to not travel further with a different mule

FYI
current carrying charge $ amsterdam-Japan is $7,000 /kilo

Sure, that's why all the cocaine in the world is exported to Japan and Australia. It makes no sense to sell anywhere else. :facepalm:

I'm not particularly intelligent. You, however are living proof that nature does not abhor a vacuum. :lol:
Silence, exile, and cunning.

He’s not the type to make assumptions based on no experience. He lives among Khmer, has a (teenage?) son, he’s street wise and tuned in.
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

There is a glut of cocaine smuggled to/through Europe at the time, wholesale prices low and supply unaffected even by large busts. Mostly shippped from Ecuador, as the harbors in Guayaquil are not even fully fenced and it is relatively easy to enter and hide large hauls in containers. Ecuador is also the country where in August a presidential candidate was murdered and rife with corruption. Four kilos? Pfwah:

Yesterday Belgian federal police discovered 2.76 tonnes (2760 kilo):

Last month Spanish police found almost 9.5 tonnes (9436 kilo):
