Flood alert and heavy rains for some provinces.

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.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

The Red Cross has already made its presence felt on the Tbong Khmum side of the bridge that connects Kampong Cham and Thomg Khmum.over the Mekong. Farmers flee here every flood season, but I have never seen the water higher here nor so many temporary shelters. One drawback is that they bring their cattle with them; they are frequently untethered which plays hell with the heavy traffic.

I agree with you the floods are bad this time round. I have been back for a week or more. Travelling almost daily into the countryside over the bridge.

There is cause for concern in Kampong Cham where water levels are predicted to rise in the coming days.

KRATIE - Officials of the Kratie provincial Department of Education confirmed that the flood situation in the Mekong River in Kratie has risen at an alarming rate, but this will not constitute an obstacle to high school or baccalaureate exams for the 2017-2018 school year.

Alternative test centers have been set up so that students can stay dry while passing their exams.

Cambodia under water. Impressive overview of the flooding from PNN news today.
20 people are reported to have died in the floods and 80,000 families have been affected (ie. flooded out of their homes). There will be much rebuilding to do when the waters recede.
