Lexus Suffers Hit From Gold Tower

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.

Notice the car is parked on the other side of the road and not beneath GT42 on the Lucky side (heh).

Gold Tower 42, under construction?...I'm not in town at the moment and havent been for a while but I lived a stone's throw from it a while ago. Back then, it was just a monstrous white elephant with no action at all going on but is it finally going to be finished? Anyone know the story? Who started it? Why did it stop? Who's running the deal now? Why is it attacking a poor innocent lexus?

John Bingham. He'll know...

Lexus cars were never ever made from bamboo.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
