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.

When I cross Monivong blv everyday, I am facing to some local on motorbikes, riskshaws and bikes who drive on the wrong side and do not care I am ready to cross the street. Even some stop front of me asking me "tuk tuk" ? :-D
"I try to cross man, move please"

I suggest the Phnom Penh police "crack down" on the drunk young chineses who, when they just get outside the casino with their big luxurious pickup trucks, **speed-up** when they see the barang who try to quickly cross the street. It's funny to scared people or even, take a risk regarding their lives.
It is the real life, not a video game. You do not get 'points' if you smash me.

Have you been out along HE Bvd recently? There are road crossings all along that thing, even though there's nothing but sand on either side of the road where the crossings are painted.
