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's always the barang's fault! Seriously, even when it's not, it's the barang's fault.

The foreigner wasn't road raging, he was trying to get back in his car (most likely for his safety and to look after his kid) whilst waiting for the police to arrive but the locals were aggressively trying to stop him from doing so because they obviously assumed he would flee the scene.

TBF, when many Cambodians get back in the car, they go on a driving rampage...

Well they assume that because that is their MO. Doubt a dash cam would help in this instance.

Not blaming him, they were manhandling him way too much, but it might have helped if he was able to speak even simple Khmer.

Cool. While not clear to any of us exactly what happened, I moved "road raging" to describe the incident, not the Barang.

A misunderstanding and slight over-reaction for a minor traffic incident ?
Let's hope that cooler heads prevailed and the situation calmed down after this:
