Cambodia beaten by Thailand in heated annual rice contest

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.

Every Asian country I:be ever lived in always thought their rice was superior to all others. And after eating rice three times a day in S.Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Laos and Cambodia, it all just tasted like fucking rice toe.

A little information on rice.
There are 40,000 varieties of rice worldwide species name Oryza sativa. These include varieties of African rice (Oryza glaberrima), and Zizania spp., sometimes called Canada rice or wild rice. Rice varieties vary in characteristics such as grain length, thickness, color, aroma, and growing method.

Those of us who grew up in the northern mid-
west consider "wild rice" as a grass.
