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.

I wish to God the IP would do another clean-up at the Nigerian "Christian Church" around the corner from our place - it would take a lot of "religion" off the streets.

Yeah, Stroppy, don't you dare care about your neighborhood or this country, let the authorities do it!

Next you'll be trying to raise money for charities or something.

Although I guess the local IPs are getting there share of that ol' time "religion", so why would they be in a hurry to upset the "preachers"?

Did we UNDER report this? Khmer Times says "60" Nigerians were arrested.

Probably some tumbleweeds in Stroppy's neighborhood now.
