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.

Actually, I am not sure of Lao Entheos Frantsiya's nationality. That is a picture of a Russian visa. The news article says he is Russian, but I think it is wrong.

I think I know now. His name is Lao Entheos and he is French (Frantsiya).

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?
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Yes I hit the deck around 60kph and my helmet reduced the TBI enough to save my life. I had to buy a new helmet later though :D
