Frenchman Medine Emeric Philippe Killed in Kampot

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, booze, motobikes are three things that dont belong in the same sentence.
You either forgot youth or speeding here.
Of all the dead and alive older drunk expats I know herr (obviously a lot) plenty are still driving but at lower speed and none ever had no serious consequences accident from your Cambodia/booze/motorbike factors.

You are right, he is French. Document is only a tourist visa for Russia.

Yes. The Cambodian newspapers were confused by the Russian visa in his passport because it has a photo and therefore looks like the frontpage of a passport.

The best way to get around it motodops, very rare to hear of a motodop/barang pasenger crash.

He's quite obviously French as indicated by the FRA in the machine-readable zone at the bottom of the visa.

A post on Kampot Noticeboard, since deleted afaik, put them at the sharp right hand bend south of the lotus pond that turns back to the river. Long straight from the roundabout all the way down. Obviously didn't see the bend and went straight into the brick wall.

Condolences to his family.

Anyone kept track of deaths this year? Kampot seems to have suffered much higher than previous years.

Judging by the state of his face, I think not.
What do posters think of the helmets here! Do they offer any protection at all?
Is this question a joke? Of course they offer protection, if you happen to hit your head, a helmet would be the difference between life and death
as it would absorb the shock instead of your head being split open. Why do you think they're mandatory? I always wear one.
