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.

It is high time for PP numbers to get going a bit.
Why is it that every year SHV gets a serious head start ?

"Why come to Cambodia to kill yourself ?

Interesting question. A few years back there was an American who promoted euthanasia out of Kampot. I couldn't get the Daily article since I don't subscribe but I found this with plenty of links.

He's beginning to look like a businessman ahead of his time.

The best my phone can raise is short blurbs, but not the whole article. I signed up but my password and email are both rejected. Well duck 'em I can take a joke. I live in the Kingdom of Wonder after all.

^^ Don't ask me how to do this on your phone, but you just need to clear the CambodiaDaily cookies, or just clear your browsing history might also work.

When I just get the first paragraph of an article and the message saying to Subscribe to read more, I just clear the CD cookies. After that, I get the whole article.
