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.

It would be interesting to know what all these tourists do during their one day visit, and how they get about.

a bus drops them off at the market and they wander round it then get back on the bus and back to the ship. Or they get a tuk tuk and go sight seeing....An Aussie cousin used to come on one of these yearly....get a tuk tuk to a beach where they had a drink and meal with myself then off we went to Samudera, the most popular mini-mart, where they bought their alcohol allowance, 2 70cl bottles each allowed back on board, then back to the ship. It used to be around 10.30 before they managed to get out of the port and had to be back by 3pm as those ships liked to be able to flog them sunset drinks....

That last one looks like a modern version of a prison hulk from the 18th C.

You couldn't pay me to take a cruise like that. It seems an awful way to spend a holiday.

These cruises are mainly for pissheads who quaff the cheap drinks and lonely hearts looking for romance (a root).

Cynical enough? Yup.
