12 Foreigners Got Stuck in The Elevator at Hang Neak Hotel

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.

Using anything technical in Cambodia has inherent risks here.

True. If it had been made in Cambodia, they would have plummeted to a messy death.

Maybe, to restore national pride, and prove we can make quality decisions, we can organise a joint Chinese-Khmer project, perhaps a hydro-electric scheme on a river course that runs dry in peak electricity consumption season...oh, wait...

I would be really happy if we (Cambodian) could make the lift by ourselves even the crap one. It is always better than nothing. :)

If you know a lot, know enough to make them respect you, if you are stupid, be stupid enough so they can pity you.
