2 English Guys Arrested in Siem Reap on Drug Charges

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 wonder if he writes ....the reason I say this is, maybe he going to publish his story, like the American in Midnight Express.....I always thought that there is a story and film from all of this...it would have all the elements to pull on heart strings/to get the message across that Cannabis is bad/the happy time before the arrest/ the police plating the weed/lots of crying and shouting/of to prison/ a rape scene / a prison romance/and the eventual release or escape/closing scene reunited with love ones....b movie for sure....


I am sorry about your friend.....dont be angry if I and some others make a joke or two...what you will have to work out is his opportunity costs and weather it is better to stay or pay...

Have they tried to directly offer money to the police, etc?

Maybe both sides are waiting for the other to make a move.

I haven't seen any updates about this case in the English or Cambodian press.
