High water in Kampot as well - August 9, 2019

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 Breaking News (Kampot): On August 10, 2019, the police no.241 collaborated with Teuk Chhou inspectors to help to move local people and foreigners immediately from a flooded village along the riverbank close to Phnom Kamchaymea hydro-electric dam.

The population were moved out either by walking or taking the boat from Chi Meoun village, in Teuk Chhou district. Since August 9, there was heavy rain in the area every day causing the flooding, so many houses have been flooded and the inhabitants have been evacuated, including some foreign residents.
