British Tourist Jennifer Evans Needs £100,000 To Get Home After HORRIFIC Accident on Koh Samui, Thailand (GRAPHIC)

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.

Wow, that's pretty crazy.

So the insurance company revisited Jennifer Evan's case and have decided to cover all medical costs, and her family is in the process of giving ALL the money raised through crowd funding back to the donors.

From her sister on Facebook:

No updates on how the refunds are going.
Spoiler:
Urgent update on Jenni's situation.
The insurance company have contacted us and informed us that, after re-visiting her case, they are now prepared to cover ALL of her health costs and repatriation to the UK when medically fit.
This is, of course, welcome news but now we have the enormous task of tackling the reimbursement of all donations made on the 'Just Giving' fundraiser, which has now become a primary objective. To this end, it's imperative that this message is shared as widely as the original appeal, in order to stop donations as soon as possible. To clarify none of the money raised has been spent as it held in a special account.Please spread the word as you see fit. The publicity and support we as a family have received has been absolutely incredible, so THANK YOU once again, from the bottom of our hearts for helping to make this happen.xx
The latest update on Jenni's condition is that today she has been moved to a private hospital in Bangkok,where she has received a blood transfusion and is getting treatment for an infection in the wound. She is scheduled to have another operation tomorrow. xx

This rings completely untrue to me.

1. Given their desperate financial situation, how is it that none of the funds would have been spent?
2. If you want to stop donations, simply close the fundraiser. None of the donor information would disappear.
3. An insurance company is very, very unlikely to "re-visit" a case.

If I was a suspicious person I'd be tempted to believe we've launched a public appeal in the full knowledge that insurance was going to pay.. but that couldn't be right, could it? They're British!

Maybe there was confusion over whether she was riding the bike or a passenger - or the licence status of the driver? :chin: And at least she had insurance in the first place, makes a change.
